Yangpu Ancient Salt Fields (洋浦千年古盐田): An archeological heritage site in Yantian village, on Yangpu Peninsula, Hainan, China. The area comprises more than 1,000 stones, cut flat on top, used to evaporate seawater to produce salt. The stones have a thin rim around the edge to contain the water. During high tide, the surface of the stones fill with water. During low tide, the seawater evaporates, leaving the salt, which is then collected.
