Visit an abalone farm. Take a tour to the northeast coast of Hainan Island - Wen Chang Shi, Long Lou Zhen (文昌市, 龙楼镇 Wénchāng shì, Lónglóu zhèn) to visit a Commercial Abalone Farm and & experience the shallow water diving for wild abalone. Our first abalone epiphany was that abalone are not bi-valves like clams or oysters. They are snails. Gross, yet cool. The farm produces almost 100,000 abalone a year. The water is changed daily, dumped out through fine membranes to catch the microscopic babies which are then laid back in clean water. The hoses are also used to inoculate the tubs with algae-plugs of green stuff are allowed to form in the hoses and then blown into the tub to make seaweed slushies. Visitors can buy the fresh live abalone at a very reasonable local farmer price (around �100 per 400g). Most of the abalone production is delivered fresh. Live abalone can survive for 30 hours. Farmer contact: Zhou Yi(周义), Address: Wen Chang Shi, Long Lou Zhen, Gu Song Cun (海南省, 文昌市, 龙楼镇, 红海村委会, 古松村). tel. +86 130 7891 5777 (Mandarin speaking).
