　　The vitality of marine leisure sports bursts

In particular, sports such as fishing boats, motor boats, yachts, sailing and other sports have emerged in Xiamen, Zhangzhou, Pingtan and other places. The dynamic and fashionable marine leisure sports are becoming a new consumption hotspot in Fujian tourism.

　　From niche to out of circle

　　In winter, the temperature gradually drops, and many parts of the country are already icy and snowy, but Fujian is still full of greenery.

At the Aoyatou Island Cruise Pier in Tongling Town, Dongshan County, Zhangzhou City, all kinds of sailboats and yachts are neatly arranged.

On the sea, little sail shadows sway with the waves, speedboats pass through like arrows, and tourists can vaguely see tourists taking pictures and sightseeing at sea.

　　Cao Xiaoliang, a staff member of the Management Office of the Tourist Service Center, told reporters: "At present, the terminal mainly operates catamarans, speedboats and other projects.

　　Cui Guoxing, a tourist from Beijing, is one of them.

He said: "Dongshan is like spring all year round. The scenery on the island is beautiful, and it is very comfortable to go to the sea by boat. Now there are many activities at sea, and I will come again if I have the opportunity."

　　In recent years, with the gradual reduction of the consumption threshold, sailing, speedboats and other leisure projects that were originally relatively small have gradually come out of the circle and are favored by the public.

Cao Xiaoliang told reporters that during peak periods, the wharf receives an average of two or three hundred tourists a day.

　　"In foreign countries, marine leisure sports are popular projects, but it is still in the early stage of development in China.
