He followed Guo Xiaochun to the lagoon on the eastern side.
A lagoon is essentially an area of the sea partially separated from the main ocean by a barrier island, sandbar, or coral reef.
Lagoons can be classified as enclosed, semi-enclosed, or open, depending on their degree of separation.
The lagoon before them was one separated by a sandbar.
At high tide, seawater would pour in. After low tide, the lagoon would be cut off from the ocean.
It was currently the quietest time after low tide. The water's surface was as smooth as a piece of pale blue nephrite, and the water was so clear you could see straight to the bottom.
Qin Ziwen saw two fishing boats moored on the water in the distance, with fishermen casting nets from their sterns.
Approaching the shore, he could see the bottom at a single glance through the pale blue water.
Beneath the surface, schools of silver mullet swam leisurely by, and clownfish with bright yellow stripes darted in and out of the coral.
