Rizhao, a prefecture-level city situated along the southeastern coast of Shandong Province, borders the Yellow Sea with its extensive coastline. The city enjoys a natural advantage for agriculture, fishing, and animal husbandry thanks to its proximity to the sea. The ancestors of the region relied on the sea for their livelihoods and thrived here. In the golden autumn season in Lanshan District of Rizhao, fishermen take advantage of the pleasant and sunny weather to air-dry their freshly-caught squid.
