Tourists have been boarding yachts to enjoy the cool sea breeze and feed black-tailed gulls on Hailyu Island in Rongcheng, a coastal city in Shandong province, this summer. 

The island, which has been dubbed the "kingdom of gulls and egrets", is home to tens of thousands of black-tailed gulls, yellow-billed egrets and wild harbor seals.
