Enjoy the sun, the beach, the sea, and run wild on the beach. There is no hustle and bustle of tourists here, only the wild romance of the original island: standing on the sea-viewing boardwalk in the early morning, you can see flocks of seabirds flying over the glassy sea surface, with a string of golden fragments on their wing tips; strolling in the crystal clear bay in the evening, you will encounter abundant marine life.
17:00: Picking shellfish at the beach
The shallow reefs of Dragon Island are home to countless sea creatures! Hermit crabs scurry sideways carrying their colorful shell houses, sand crabs leave mysterious bubble patterns on the beach, multicolored shells, and vibrant corals... Let's go treasure hunting!
18:00 Dinner at Longdao Hall (family set menu)
19:30-21:00: Study tour + night beach exploration
Water quality testing experiment, seawater ratio experiment
Learn to understand the pH value of water using acid and base reagents, and participate in experiments to explore the impact of water sources on the ecological environment. Use electronic scales to weigh sea salt and water to create seawater suitable for aquatic life. Use a salt meter to explore the different experimental results that can be caused by water salinity.
Watch animal protection videos, learn about illegal hunting, and rescue injured birds. There is also a special kind of bird living on the beach. Their color is very similar to the beach. We must be careful when walking and not step on their eggs. The activity teacher will lead everyone to understand the island's ecology and learn how to protect the natural ecosystem.
