As the first light of dawn breaks, the beaches of Lingshui welcome the first group of seashore gatherers. As the waves slowly recede, they reveal stretches of sand, washed clean and fine by the sea, as well as treasures hidden among the sand and stones—the colorful shells, variously shaped conchs, nimble jumping crabs, and the shy marine creatures hiding beneath the rocks, all waiting for an encounter with the gatherers. The seashore gathering journey in Lingshui is an intimate conversation with nature. Here, one can observe the ecological habits of marine life up close and feel their wisdom for survival in the ocean.
