A seaside girl's journey to marine conservation

Sporting sun-kissed skin and a radiant smile, Lin Xiaohui both embodies and lives the lifestyle of a “seaside girl.” “I had my first dive at Lovers’ Island in Dapeng. It only lasted about 10 minutes, but the underwater sights and sensations were unforgettable. The crystal clear water, coupled with a few passing fish, forged in me a profound connection with nature. That experience prompted me to pursue my diving certification that very year,” Lin revealed to Shenzhen Daily while on a beach in Xichong, Dapeng New District.

Respite from the holiday hustle

Following a bustling National Day holiday, local fishermen involved in the tourism sector are now able to enjoy some well-deserved rest.
