Economy

As the name indicates, Shijing, along with the nearby Shuitou, is a major center of stoneworking.
Shijing is also a sea port of regional importance, involved in the cross-strait trade with Taiwan. Shijing also has the mainland terminal of the so-called "Quan-Jin Ferry", the
regular passenger ferry service to the nearby Kinmen Island, held by the Taiwan-based Republic of China. As of February 2012, this ferry may only be taken by the PRC and ROC citizens, and not by third-country nationals.
