Wanquan's Laoye Sea

　　As the second-largest lagoon and small sea in Wanquan, Laoye Sea covers a total area of 9.8 square kilometers, with a tidal flat area of about 1.2 square kilometers. The shape of Laoye Sea is long and narrow, resembling an ancient silver hairpin pinned in a woman’s hairstyle, which is why locals have given it the delightful nickname—“a strand of sea.”

　　The surface of Laoye Sea is calm, shimmering with a light green hue. There are fishing boats of all sizes, small fish rafts with boxed aquaculture, and large nets of greenish-blue spread out. In Laoye Sea, you’ll often see small circles enclosed by wooden stakes—these are areas where Wanquan’s favorite seaweed is farmed. The famous seafood of Laoye Sea also brings good business to the local fish rafts.
