With a burst of cheers, Pu, a tourist from south China's Guangdong province, swiftly scooped up a freshly caught onespot seaperch with a net. Pu, along with other tourists, was enjoying a sea fishing experience on an oyster farming raft owned by Xu Meizhen, a resident of Xiaxikeng village, located in the waters off Qianlou township, Dongshan county, Zhangzhou, southeast China's Fujian province.
"This place is near the sea and the environment is beautiful. There are so many fun activities. It's worth every bit!" said Pu, who's a fishing enthusiast living in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province.
Staying at Xu's B&B hotel, he was taken by Xu together with other guests to join various seaside activities, including fishing, oyster harvesting, and fish net-making, to experience the lifestyle of local fishermen. Nestled amid mountains and the sea, Xiaxikeng village boasts picturesque scenery. "We were fully booked all summer, and business is still quite good now," said Xu, who began running the B&B business in 2019 using her vacant rooms.
In recent years, her business has been thriving. "Our village has broad sea and clear waters. Who wouldn't love it?" she said.
