After a four-month fishing ban in the Yellow and Bohai seas ended Sept 1, over 3,000 fishing boats from Qingdao set sail to compete for the biggest catch. Over the past week, fishing boats have been returning to port one after another, filled with the satisfaction of a bountiful harvest.

The bustling morning of the Jimiya fishing port sees boats neatly docked, laden with their hauls. With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, all kinds of freshly caught seafood are in high demand. An atmosphere of joy and abundance permeates the port as fishermen return from the sea with abundant harvests, and locals and tourists are eager to return home full-loaded themselves.
