Beach Babes

Sun worshipping is new to Chinese beach goers. The Chinese equally enjoy walks along the beach, pier side seafood eateries, and cold drinks and bars as their counterparts in other seaside towns. However, the percentage of the population sunbathing, swimming during the hottest hours, and playing other beach games under the hot sun unprotected is much smaller than their Western counterpart. Although the Chinese are buying tiny, designer two piece bikinis, they are more often used for glamor shots than for tanning. Most Chinese seaside bathers are well covered with SPF50+ clothing.
