When they do not go out to fish, they will happily play in the giant water village and the floating ring slide. There is an ancient holy place in the village, where the sea god Xuanwu is revered. Under the protection of the god of the sea, the coral reefs on the beach thrive, and thousands of sea turtles come to the beach every year to lay their eggs.

Fascinating coral snorkeling area
Story line——Hayne’s favorite season of the year is when the turtles return. She would sit on the huge rock next to the snorkeling pool, shaped like an anemone, and watch the turtles in the lazy river emerge at night and leave the next morning. She would then protect the unhatched turtle eggs, driving away greedy birds and stray dogs in search of food. When the turtles hatch, she always makes sure she goes back to the coral sculptures, making sure all the baby turtles return to the sea.
