After spending six hours on reefs, those altogether sixteen extremely exhausted people were finally rescued after the police dispatched light boats. Excerpts from CRI
Taking photographs of a wedding is a pleasant memory for new couples.
But six happy pairs were left stranded for six hours on Wednesday while snapping away on reefs, 50 kilometers [50 meters according to the riginal story in Chinese] away from the bank of the Badaguan in Qingdao in Shandong province.
The Hebei province couples and four photographers were too busy to notice the rising tide at Badaguan or "Eight Passes" seashore, the Peninsula Metropolitan News reported.
A witness told the newspaper the couples looked excited when they first saw the tide was up and wanted to use the tidal waves as the background for their pictures. But as the wind strengthened, the waves intensified and the couples were eventually trapped.
