The evening unfolded with a delectable seafood hot pot dinner at "Huandao Pier", offering breathtaking sea views as participants savoured the sunset and the enchanting twilight scenery.
Following dinner, they embarked on a boat excursion to witness the magnificent spectacle of the sea of "blue tears", a natural nocturnal phenomenon sparked by Dinoflagellates – a mesmerizing display of bioluminescent blue-green light emitted by marine plankton.
