The lingering high temperature of late has been driving an increasing number of people to relieve sizzling heat at seaside. The bathing beach in Qingdao, east China's Shandong Province, received throngs of summer holidaymakers Saturday.
At the No. 1 bathing beach, crowds of people were playing at the beach and in the water, fully enjoying the cool and refreshing spatters by the sea.
"I have not expected to meet so many people here. We came here at four or five o’clock in the afternoon, intending to avoid the rush hours but there is still a bumper crowd, like dumplings boiled in a pot," said Cui Lu, a visitor to the beach.
According to staff members at the swimming resort, visitors mainly arrive at the beach between 14:00 to 18:00, with the crowd reaching its peak at 16:00.
"Because of the persisting high temperature throughout this morning and noon, the crowd at the beach did not reach its peak until 16:00. Today we expect an estimated 130,000 visitors," said Tang Wenzhou, official with the No. 1 bathing beach.
The growing number of tourists has led to rising cases of children getting lost. The broadcasting studio at the beach has to make announcement from time to time to help look for the missing persons.
Tang said that there are some 20 to 30 such cases at the No. 1 bathing beach every day. He suggested that parents ask their kids to remember their names, or phone numbers or other contact information before they start the trip.
