Introduction to Beachcombing in Rizhao
Soft and smooth beach, golden yellow sand;
Little girls go beachcombing with bare tiny feet.
She picks up a conch on the coral reef,
Catches a prawn in a tide pool.
Searching, searching nonstop…
Digging, digging nonstop…
Local coastal residents follow the rhythm of tides. They head to mudflats and rocky shores at low tide to catch and collect seafood, an activity known as beachcombing.

Coastal Activities at High Tide
When the tide rises, the shallow flat waters offer traditional sea activities: netting tiny shrimp, catching jellyfish, angling for shrimp, crabs and fish, and hauling fishing nets.

Watch the Ebb and Flow of Tides
The exceptionally flat beach presents a spectacular tidal scene twice every day.
At low tide, seawater recedes rapidly, exposing thousands of mu of mudflats dotted with fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish left behind.
At high tide, seawater surges in from all directions and submerges the mudflats in an instant, creating a magnificent view.
