Marine Farms - China

An aerial drone photo taken on November 11, 2025 shows a fisherman patrolling at a breeding area in Tianheng Township of Jimo District, Qingdao City, east China's Shandong Province. As a province noted for its major marine fishery economy, Shandong has been actively building marine farms in recent years, aiming to continuously enrich the "blue food depot." To date, Shandong has built 139 "marine farms" at or above the provincial level, including 71 at the national level, or 38 percent of the country's total at the level. The province now boasts an integrated industrial chain for marine fishery that ranges from aquaculture, fishing to intensive processing. The output of marine aquatic products in Shandong reached 8.25 million tonnes with an added value exceeding 100 billion yuan (about 14.09 billion U.S. dollars) in 2024, topping among all regions at the provincial level in the country.

The Oldest Short-Tailed Bird Fossil Discovered - China

The Oldest Short-Tailed Bird Fossil Discovered - China

Wang Min, a researcher with the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), works at his office at IVPP in Beijing, capital of China, on February 10, 2025. Chinese scientists have unearthed the oldest short-tailed bird fossil, dating back about 150 million years, in east China's Fujian Province. This suggests that birds might have originated earlier than previously thought. The fossilized bird Baminornis zhenghensis was discovered in Zhenghe County, Fujian Province. Its short tail ends in a compound bone called the pygostyle, a feature uniquely present in modern birds. This indicates that the body structure of modern birds emerged in the Late Jurassic Period, 20 million years earlier than previously known. The study, conducted by researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) and the Fujian Institute of Geological Survey, was published in the latest issue of the journal Nature, on February 11, 2025, in B

Shehuo Parade - China

Shehuo Parade - China

Performers attend a Shehuo parade in Longxian County of Baoji City, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, February 11, 2025. Longxian County, referred to as Long Zhou in the old days, is well-known for the local Shehuo parade featuring authentic and inclusive performance and simple yet exquisite facial make-up. The Shehuo parade, a time-honored performance enjoying widespread popularity in rural areas across China, originated from ancient sacrificial activities to pray for a good harvest about 2,000 years ago. Later on, as dancing and singing performances were absorbed into the parade, it gradually evolved into a folk custom staged during the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, believed to remove bad luck and bring a fresh start in the new year. The Shehuo folk performance in Baoji made it onto the list of China's national intangible cultural heritage in 2006. And the local Shehuo performance in Longxian County has continued to glow with vitality in inheritance and innovation in recent years. Photo by Xinhua/
