Sandu'ao is a village built on floating balls.

Ningde -- This is an ordinary village like other Chinese villages, with wooden houses, shops, restaurants, a police station, a medical care center and a mobile service hall. But it is totally different. It's a village on the sea. When you walk in it, sometimes you would sway as the wave moving through.

As the largest community on the sea, Sandu'ao is located at west coase of the Pacific, in the northeast of Fujian province, with a population of more than 8000. Most of the residents here earns a living by fishing. After a decade's development, it has become the largest cultivation base of yellow croakers in China.
