As the South China Sea embraces the peak of its spring fishing season, the coastal province of Hainan is buzzing with activity. Fishermen from Qionghai city are taking full advantage of the favorable sea conditions, setting out to harvest the abundant marine life that thrives in these waters.
With calm seas and plentiful fish stocks, fleets of fishing boats have launched large-scale operations along the coast. In the glow of the early morning sun, these vessels return to the port of Tanmen, decks laden with a rich variety of seafood. The sight is a vibrant one—baskets brimming with fish, shrimp, and shellfish are swiftly unloaded by energetic fisherfolk, their faces alight with satisfaction.
The fresh catch is promptly distributed to local markets, bringing a bounty of ocean delicacies to communities across the region. The flourishing spring harvest not only boosts the local economy but also adds vitality to the daily lives of residents who eagerly anticipate the seasonal specialties.
For the young people in Hainan, the spring fishing season is more than just an economic activity—it’s a cultural event that celebrates the harmony between the community and the sea. Festivals and markets come alive with the flavors and traditions that have been passed down through generations.
