Photos capture magnificence of whales

Each year, Bryde's whales migrate to the nearshore waters of Weizhou Island to give birth to their calves. This location is an ideal breeding ground due to its deep waters, absence of natural predators and abundant food sources.

As the only whale-watching spot along the shores of Chinese mainland, it has become a popular attraction for tourists. However, the increasing tourism has also brought some environmental challenges. Issues such as marine litter, overfishing and water contamination have emerged.
