Is Seaside Foraging on Haxian Island Fun? Wang Laowu Takes You to the Local Foraging Base, with Free Processing

In the scorching summer, many friends are preparing to start their summer trips. For friends from Northeast China, this year's travel plans are also leaning towards nearby destinations. Of course, Dalian has become a summer resort for the three northeastern provinces. Many friends from the Northeast have set their sights on this romantic city. Today, we want to recommend a tourist attraction in Dalian. Here, you can freely pick up seafood during the low tide and have it processed for free. The fishermen's scallops and oysters are available in unlimited quantities. What place is this exactly?

This is Haxian Island, located in the Changshan Islands of Dalian City, Liaoning Province. This small island covers an area of only 4.8 square kilometers, but it is truly a fairy island. Many friends are fascinated by its seafood, captivated by its beautiful scenery, and even more in love with its beach bathing area and the warm-hearted boss Wang Laowu. These are all highlights of Haxian Island.

Seaside foraging is a fundamental skill for islanders. As the saying goes, "living by the sea, you rely on the sea." People who live by the sea will never go hungry. If you want seafood, even without a fishing boat, you can still harvest a lot by picking things up on the beach. Although there isn't as much as there was a decade ago, the harvest is still substantial. As long as you bend down and look carefully, you are sure to get a good catch. Many guests are first-timers at seaside foraging but still return fully loaded. Isn't such an island trip enviable?

For coastal people, the most fun is turning over rocks at the foraging base. Underneath the rocks, small crabs scurry away in all directions. In the past, whenever the tide went out, people would grab their rusty tools, eroded by seawater, and go to the beach to dig clams, gather conches, and catch crabs. Sometimes, while catching crabs, you might accidentally get pinched and cut your hand. Such things happen often, but people still love seaside foraging. This might be what fishermen cherish most in their hearts.

The Haxian Island foraging base is located at the northernmost part of the island, far from most fishing family inns. This is a place where locals forage because the seafood resources are relatively abundant. However, for many leased fishing family inns, the transportation cost for tourists is quite high, so they usually don't take guests here for foraging. Therefore, the most visitors here every day are from Wang Laowu's establishment.

Every day, Boss Wang Laowu plans the best time to bring his guests to the Haxian Island foraging base for seaside foraging. Wang Laowu says that any seafood picked up at the foraging base can be processed for free in the kitchen. Not only that, but the scallops and oysters that everyone loves are available in every meal and in unlimited quantities, truly achieving oyster freedom.

In fact, when coming to Haxian Island, the most important thing is to choose a reliable fishing family inn and a good boss. That way, your trip will be enjoyable. If you choose an irresponsible leased fishing family inn, your trip might come with significant risks.
