As the chill fades from the southern lands and nature awakens, a visit to the sea becomes a truly breathtaking experience. The mornings and evenings in Maoming's Shuidong Bay are a duet of light and shadow.
Golden flecks scattered by the morning light and purplish-red hues bathed in the setting sun have long woven themselves into the folds of every wave, tracing delicate patterns across the damp sand and becoming Shuidong Bay's most heartfelt notes.
Here, the beginning and end of each day arrive like love letters penned by nature—each line filled with tender whispers between sea and shore, light and shadow.
