Once a quiet hub of traditional sea life, a floating fishing village in Lingshui County, south China’s Hainan Province, is now buzzing with visitors eager to experience its unique charm. For generations, residents here have lived in vibrant wooden houses bobbing on the ocean—a lifestyle preserved for centuries. Now, this aquatic community is surfing a new tide: tourism.
Local families, once reliant solely on fishing, are opening floating guesthouses and offering boat tours. Visitors can net crabs, grill fresh seafood under the stars, or simply soak in sunset views over the South China Sea. One resident, Chen Wei, shared: \"Tourism lets us share our culture while building a better future.\"
Hainan’s push to blend cultural heritage with sustainable travel has turned the village into a must-visit spot for adventurers and culture lovers alike. Pro tip: Don’t miss the chance to sleep in a floating homestay—it’s like Airbnb, but with tides!
