| The secret to a bucket explosion is here, come and copy the homework. Lingshui Chiling Sea Hunting 🌊 | The secret to a bucket explosion is here, come and copy the homework 📖 My dears👫, Lingshui Chiling is really a paradise for sea hunting enthusiasts. Today, I will share with you 8 practical sea hunting strategies that I have personally tested, and I guarantee that you will have a lot of harvest and go home with a bucket of "sea goods"🏝️. 📍【Location】 Directly navigate to Lingshui Chiling Village, and you can see the beach when you are almost there. The car can be parked in the parking area planned by nearby villagers. The general charges are also reasonable, so don't worry about the problem of parking difficulties. 🌅【Sea Hunting Time】 The key point❗Be sure to check the tide table. The best time to go to the sea is when the tide recedes. For example, a few days before and after the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the ebb tide is large, which can expose large areas of mudflats and reefs, and various small seafood cannot hide. I usually check the tide conditions in the weather app on my phone in advance, accurate to the hour, and set off at the right time, so that I can get straight to the point when I arrive at the beach. 👕【Equipment preparation】 Small bucket: used to hold the spoils, it is recommended to choose one with moderate capacity and firm handle, otherwise it will be too heavy to hold when filled with seafood. Small rake: This is a must-have artifact for digging sand. It can easily move the sand, and the clams and razor clams hidden underneath will have nowhere to hide. Gloves: Protect your hands from being scratched by reefs and prevent them from being pinched by crab claws. Choose the ones that are thicker and have non-slip particles. Clamps: It depends on it when catching crabs. The long-handled clamps can keep you at a safe distance from the crabs and hold them steadily. Wading shoes: There are many reefs in the sea water, and ordinary shoes are easy to get water and hurt your feet. Wading shoes are both waterproof and foot-protecting, and walking on the mudflats is like walking on flat ground. Headlamp or flashlight: If you want to catch the early tide or catch some nocturnal seafood at night, lighting tools are essential. Headlamp is more convenient and can free your hands to turn over stones to find goods. 🦀【Seafood Hiding Place】 Reef area: Crabs' favorite hiding place. Turn over the stones and you will often see small crabs running around underneath. If you are lucky, you can also encounter large orchid crabs. Oysters are also attracted to the cracks of the reefs. You can harvest plump oyster meat by gently prying with tools. Beach: The beach near the edge of the sea will have clams popping up after the tide recedes. Look carefully at the small holes on the beach. There is a high probability that there are clams hidden underneath. Dig down along the small holes and you will find one accurately. There are also sandworms. Although it is a bit difficult to dig, the nutritional value is super high. Look for them in places with fine sand and start digging when you find slight signs of creeping on the sand surface. Seaweed area: This is where small fish and shrimps gather. Seaweed sways with the current, and small shrimps like to hide in it. If you use a small net bag to scoop along the seaweed, you may catch a group of lively shrimps, and go back to cook a delicious shrimp soup, which will make your eyebrows fall. 📌【Sea-hunting skills】 Digging clams: When you see a small hole on the beach, first circle around the hole and gently step on it to let the clams relax their vigilance, then quickly dig down with a small rake. Once you dig to the bottom, the clams will be dug out with the sand. If you dig shallowly, the clams will easily shrink back into the deep sand. Catching crabs: After finding a crab, don't rush to use your hands. First, use the clamps to aim at the sides of the crab's body and quickly clamp it up to avoid being attacked by its waving claws. If the crab hides deep in the cracks of the reef, reach in with the clamps and gently fiddle with it to drive it out before catching it. Trapping small fish: prepare some bread crumbs or crushed dried shrimps and scatter them in the shallow sea. When small fish smell the smell, they will gather around. At this time, use a small net bag to quickly scoop the bottom from the side, and you can catch a lot of small fish. Remember to move lightly and quickly. 🚿【Precautions】 Environmental protection first: The garbage generated during the sea-hunting process must be taken away to protect the marine environment, so that we can continue to enjoy the fun of sea-hunting next time, and don't let plastic garbage ruin this beautiful beach. Safety first: The reefs on the seashore are slippery, so be careful when walking, and don't just look for seafood and fall. Be sure to pay attention to the time when the tide is high, and don't be trapped in the sea for fun, and plan the route to land in advance. Respect the locals: Get along with the local villagers in a friendly manner, park and ask politely, some sea areas may be villagers' breeding areas, pay attention to the signs to avoid mistaken entry. My dears, follow this guide to go to Chiling, Lingshui to catch seafood. I guarantee you will experience the joy of a big bucket. Have an intimate and fruitful date with the sea. Remember to like and collect it, and read the guide several times before departure. I wish you all a smooth sea-hunting and a great seafood experience.

#beachcheck Many people do not know where this little blue house, named “The Love Shack” is located. During the summer of 2022 it was a popular photography location for the locals but since then, the audience has been less, to the point where it is deserted. Next to this little blue house there is another little house built from rocks. It has many wooden slats hammered to the walls. 💞Reasons to Recommend: What I love most about it is there is a tide pool a few meters from it and sitting in the fresh ocean water, watching as the waves crash into the walls is a beautiful sight to see! 💰Average Price per Person: FREE 🏎 Getting there from Sanya or Haikou is fairly easy. Take the train to Lingshui station and then a taxi to the beach! #islandlife #island #china #hainan #lingshui #sanya #haikou #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #trip #instatravel
