Autumn has arrived, which means it's time to enjoy a grand banquet of seafood! At the beginning of September, Qingdao welcomed the start of the fishing season following an off-season ban in the Yellow and Bohai seas! A total of 3,386 fishing boats from Qingdao set sail one after another to begin their bustling sea voyage.

Pink shrimp, exotic mantis shrimp, succulent sea fish, and little sea creatures all came aboard. Qingdao residents are full of joy!
