Shilaoren beach

Shilaoren is the longest beach of Qingdao in China. It's relatively remoted from the downtown, so there are no many people (by the Chinese standards). Sea water is not quite clear and suffers from strong tides. Recent years another problem occured: lots of algae washed to the coastline from the ocean. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]
