People from eastern China's Qingdao city collected oysters that have been blown onto the beach by typhoon Lekima on August 12.

In the video, a large number of people used tools to pick the oysters, sea snails and clams piled on the beach.

They can be seen using the rakes to break the oysters before putting them into plastic buckets.

A woman named Xu said she went to collect the oysters from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm without having lunch.

According to an employee from the Marine Development Authority, the wild oysters which are hard to find are larger and taste better.

8月12日，台风“利奇马”过境青岛后，当地沿海岸边出现绵延数公里的海蛎子、海螺和蛤蜊，不少市民走上青岛海军公园附近的海滩捡拾。青岛市民徐女士说，自己都没顾得上吃午饭，从上午九点多捡到下午三点多，一小时能捡一百斤，还有人用麻袋往家扛......
西海岸新区海洋发展局一位技术人员介绍：这种海蛎子应该是野生的，但不像浅海的野生蛎子那样长在礁石上，而是悬浮生长在深海里，市民一般很难吃到，俗称“滚滩蛎子”，因为生长期比较长， 特点是个大、肉肥、味鲜。“利奇马”来临时，大风使海水形成狂海流，将这些藏在深水的宝贝大片大片的带了出来，送到了沙滩上，它们可谓是“利奇马”送来的特殊礼物。
