The best place and time to see the sea in Qingdao

People who live by the sea have been chasing the sea since childhood. Catching the sea can not only catch small crabs and small fish, but also make them feel happy, and if they are lucky and full of harvest, they can also "add vegetables" to our small table. Eating little seafood and picking it up by yourself, is it full of happiness?

It's interesting to catch the sea, but there are still many precautions. For example, the tidal problem, to catch the sea, we must catch the sea at low tide, and the shore water can only catch the sea when it recedes to expose reefs and inlets, and it is impossible to catch the sea at high tide.

So when is the low tide? It depends on the lunar calendar. There are two tides every day. On the fifteenth and thirtieth day of the lunar calendar, every day at noon, 12: 00 is the high tide, 18: 12 is the low tide, 0: 24 is the high tide, and 6: 36 is the low tide. Add about 40 minutes every day. That is to say, there are two high tides and two low tides every day, the highest and lowest tides are completed every 12 hour, and the next day is delayed by more than 40 minutes. If you still don't understand, you can open the weather forecast APP in your mobile phone, and there will be a daily tide table.

Knowing the tide, we just need to catch the sea. Today, Bian Xiao will share with you some places along the Qingdao coast that are more suitable for going to sea. Favorite friends hurry to collect it!

1. Reef areas on both sides of the trestle.

The reef areas on both sides of the trestle bridge are the traditional areas where old Qingdao people go to sea. When I was a child, I lived on Zhongshan Road and ran to the trestle to catch the sea. In the 1970s and 1980s, there were too many things in the waters of the trestle, so it was common to touch abalone on both sides of the trestle at low tide. Not now. With the increase of tourists, there are only "grandchildren" fish and crabs left in the trestle. Although there are no "big goods", there are still many small fish, snails and crabs, and it is no problem for children to catch and play.

2. The reef area on the left side of the second bathing beach

The second bathing beach is at the seaside of Badaguan, in front of Huashi Villa. There is a long dam, the swimming area is on the right side of the dam, and the reef area is on the left side of the dam. Because there are many rocks, beautiful shapes and beautiful seascape, there are many wedding photos here. After the low tide, there are a lot of marine life here, which is larger in quantity and scale than the trestle sea area. There are snails, snails, spicy snails, crabs, shrimps, small fish and so on. Pick a bigger one and cook it.

3. Olympic Sailing Center Gate 4 Reef Area

Many Qingdao people don't know about the area of Gate 4 of Olympic Sailing Center. There are few people and tourists in this place. Therefore, the "sea goods" here are bigger and more numerous. Many things can be found in a large reef area and rock area. You can often find spicy snails of the same size in the vegetable market, which are big but few in number. Crabs are big, so are small fish in the inlet, and occasionally you can meet big fish. The sea booty here is ok, and it can also be "eaten".

4. The coastal reef area in the Hai Yin world.

There is a famous scenic spot in the Hai Yin world, "China people * * * and the national standard is zero". That is, all the elevations in China are calculated from here. The 8848.86m (measured in 2020) of Mount Everest is also calculated from here. There are large reefs and rock areas on both sides of the beach here, and few people come here. After the low tide, many large snails on the beach, such as snails, spicy snails and short-shore snails, are all large. Every day after the low tide, there will be "professional" aunts and grandfathers here to catch snails and "dig" oysters. There are also many small crabs, which are also very big.

5, sculpture garden seaside reef area

From the Hai Yin world to the east is a sculpture garden, and the seashore of the sculpture garden is also full of rocks and rocks. There are few people here, and there are almost no tourists. Residents near Maidao are all here to catch the sea. The "professional" uncles and aunts who catch the sea here turn over stones to pick up all kinds of snails, and some even pry the oysters off the stones. The small crabs and snails here are bigger, and the wild oysters are bigger, but they all grow on rocks and need tools to harvest delicious wild oyster meat.

6. Rock area of Shilaoren Scenic Area

Shilaoren Scenic Area is located in the east of Laoshan District with few people. This sea area next to Shilaoren Rock is the best place to go to sea, and many fishing boats also stop here. There are many stones here, and the whole stone is exposed at low tide. There are many snails and crabs on and under the stone, and they are also very big. Because there are many fishing boats, I often pick up "big goods" on the shore, such as live octopus and jellyfish, so I picked up a big octopus, which was very enjoyable.

The most important thing to go out to sea is to pay attention to safety! Be safe! Be safe! Repeat the important words three times. Pay attention to time and high tide. Don't go to sea in cold weather, typhoon, rain or high tide. In short, don't go into the sea in bad weather, but clearly grasp the time of high tide and low tide. Then, you can catch the sea happily. Do you remember all the things you said about seeing the sea in Qingdao?
