The Yellow Sea

Here is a short video and bumpy video of the beach near our apartment. Apparently I needed a tripod while filming.

It was taken one afternoon at high tide. In the mornings you can walk out a way on the rocks. Many people will walk out in search of crustaceans. Seafood is well-loved in the city. You can find lots of fresh fish, squids, and shrimp sold by vendors along the street. We had the best oysters I've ever eaten just before the Spring festival.

Our apartment complex is across the street from the area where this was taken. You may notice a large orb at the end of a pier. I've heard this is some type of observatory, but haven't visited it yet. This orb is at the end of the street leading to our apartment complex. It can be seen from google earth if you search Yantai. If you look it up, our apartment is to the left of the road that leads to the pier and orb. We will try to post the coordinates in the future.
