Beihai dolphins attract tourists
Adjust font size:

The growing number of Chinese white dolphins, also known as "giant pandas of the sea", has become a new tourist attraction in the coastal city of Beihai, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Many fishermen and tourists have been attracted by the dolphins jumping in and out of the water in the past week.

Local experts and residents attributed the increase to the fine water quality and environment in the area.

And the fish and shrimps have also provided plenty of food for the dolphins, which are under strict State protection.
