【Zhejiang Xiapu: The Heartbeat Code of Tidal Flats' Light and Shadow and the Ultimate Encounter with Marine Civilization】

Can you imagine? Hidden in the folds along the East China Sea coast is a secret realm that even "China National Geographic" calls "the most beautiful tidal flat in the world"! When the sunset at Dongbi Village dyes the tidal flats golden, I captured an oil painting moment of "fishermen at work" on the Beiqi tidal flats. Even more amazing—at the ancient fishing village, I used a thousand-year-old seaweed technique to marinate a "salted egg yolk cold brew" sweeter and fresher than Starbucks!
