The swimming pool of the homestay is also a major highlight! The design is beautiful, and you can pose casually by the pool, making it perfect for photos The sea view room is equipped with large floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing you to see the entire private sea area from the room. The soft bedding is particularly comfortable to lie on, making the accommodation experience extremely satisfying.

The popular Xiapu homestay on the Internet, finally had the opportunity to stay for 1⃣️ night, before coming, all I saw on the Internet were pictures like the third one, Santorini style, I didn't expect that the room could be so stylish with wabi-sabi. What I like most is the floor-to-ceiling window of the room. With the cloudy Xiapu, there is an indescribable sense of tranquility. The neat and consistent seaweed poles, the mountains on the sea in the distance, and the iron boats parked on the shallows, unexpectedly form a deep ink painting. The thin mist has not yet dissipated, and the returning fishing boat is looming in the mist. At this time, the sky and the sea have no boundaries, and the returning sail seems to come from the sky and go to the sea. The scenery framed by the window will always stay in the unpredictable summer of Xiapu. 📍Xiapu Shi Jian Hai Homestay

When it comes to Xiapu, everyone can think of it as "the most beautiful beach photography base in China". The sunrise and sunset of Xiapu, the beaches of Xiapu have content all the year round, and the work all year round is different. However, Xiapu is not only a tidal flat. When it comes to Dong'an Island, it may be unfamiliar to most people. Dong'an Island is located at the junction of the famous Guanjingyang and Dongwuyang, Xiapu Xinan Town, Fujian Province. The second largest island. The sea fish raft in Dong'an Island is known as China's Venice at Sea. There are hundreds of thousands of seafood breeding cages and thousands of houses built on the sea. Looking around, I saw a piece of fish raft around the island floating on the blue sea, stretching for kilometers. Looking at the fish raft also needs to take a boat to an uninhabited island in the middle of the sea, that is the commanding height. You can see the panorama of the fish steak. The terminal here is mainly for the farmers to dock their own boats. At the pier, there will be fishermen greeting, so that tourists can go to the opposite hill to go to the island for photography. The cost of a fishing boat is about 100. It can take more than a dozen people. The transportation to Dong'an Island is convenient. Xiapu County has direct buses to Dong'an Island Pier. You can take a bus to the south of the station next to the long-distance bus station. There is an indication of reaching Dong'an Island!

| Fujian's "Zelda" Hyrule Continent. Four Islets | Fujian's "Zelda" Hyrule Continent The boat to the Four Islets is a ferry to the real-life version of Zelda's Hyrule Continent 🚢 When you stand on the island with the sea breeze blowing, everything before your eyes feels unrealistically beautiful. This is the Four Islets in Xiapu, Fujian—a hidden gem full of surprises. 🚗【Transportation Guide】 To reach the Four Islets, you first need to get to Xiapu. You can fly to Fuzhou Changle International Airport or Wenzhou Longwan International Airport and then take a high-speed train to Xiapu, or take a direct high-speed train to Xiapu Station. From Xiapu, head to Jishi Pier, where passenger boats depart for Beishu Island. The one-way ticket costs 100 RMB per person, and the journey takes 60-90 minutes. Alternatively, you can take a speedboat from Haiwei Pier or Dongbi Pier for 180 RMB per person (one-way), arriving at Beishu Island in just 30 minutes. 🏡【Accommodation Recommendations】 Beishu Island is the main island with plenty of lodging options. We recommend Senhai Beiyu Homestay, which offers clean and comfortable rooms with stunning sea views right outside your window. The staff can also help arrange boat tours. Another great option is Island View Homestay, where the sea-view rooms provide excellent vistas, priced between 300-800 RMB per night. 🌅【Attractions】 1. Beishu Island: The main island features a lively fishing village, quaint stone houses, and soft sandy beaches. At dawn, watch the sunrise paint the sky orange-red; in the evening, stroll through the village and soak in the fishing culture as the sunset glow reflects on the sea. 2. Dongshu Island: A top-tier island where cliffs, meadows, and the sea blend seamlessly, offering picture-perfect "Zelda" landscapes—a paradise for drone photography. Standing on the cliffs with the sea breeze in your face and gazing at the endless ocean is truly breathtaking. 3. Xishu Island: Known for its dramatic volcanic terrain, with stone pillars and peaks in various shapes. You can also spot flocks of seabirds soaring above, creating a unique scene with the sea and reefs. 4. Nanshu Island: The crystal-clear waters make it ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The island's vast pebble beaches produce a "singing" sound when walked upon. 🍱【Food Experience】 The seafood here is fresh and affordable. Steamed grouper melts in your mouth; oyster omelets are crispy outside and tender inside, perfectly blending the seafood's freshness with eggs and starch. Don’t miss local specialties like gooseneck barnacles and limpets. Head to a fishing village restaurant on Beishu Island for freshly caught seafood. Seafood noodles and seaweed pancakes are also delicious—the latter can even serve as travel snacks. ❗【Tips】 1. Check the weather forecast in advance—the Four Islets have unpredictable weather, so choose a clear day for the best views. 2. If you're prone to seasickness, take motion sickness pills beforehand and sit at the back of the boat for a smoother ride. 3. Bring mosquito repellent—the island has plenty of bugs. Sun protection is also essential: arm sleeves, a wide-brimmed hat, and high-SPF sunscreen are must-haves. 4. Wear non-slip shoes, as the rocks can be slippery. Safety first! 5. Drones require prior registration, and some areas are no-fly zones. The island has spotty signal, so carrying cash is advisable. The Four Islets are like a hidden treasure in the East China Sea, waiting for you to uncover their mysteries. Embark on a spontaneous island adventure 🌴 The blue skies, turquoise waters, sandy beaches, and delicious food will create unforgettable memories.

The first time I saw photos of Yunshang Fuyao, I was instantly struck by its breathtaking presence suspended between mountains and sea. Returning from abroad, I wanted to take my family on a getaway. After a two-hour drive from Fuzhou Airport, when the homestay’s silhouette finally came into view, all my fatigue turned into awe—it looked like a white garden growing out of the cliffs, floating between clouds and emerald waves. The butler was already waiting at the door and gave us a tour after check-in. Every turn revealed a new surprise. The most captivating feature was the 270° panoramic viewing platform, with cliffs beneath and the vast East China Sea stretching ahead. Time slowed down here. In the afternoon, I picked a favorite book from the shelf. At dusk, I strolled along the nearby viral seaside path, listening to Xiapu’s ocean breeze. The 180° romantic round-bed room I stayed in was practically made for photos! Floor-to-ceiling windows let me wake up to waves and fishing boats drifting below. The homestay’s owner is a perfectionist with an eye for aesthetics, evident in every detail. On the second day, I woke up at 5 AM in my pajamas to catch the sunrise. When the first rays pierced the clouds, the entire sea turned into flowing gold foil, with fishing boats as silhouettes. This scene was ten times more beautiful than all the travel photos in my collection. After breakfast, my family relaxed in the homestay’s game room playing mahjong, while I wandered around snapping pictures. The place was incredibly photogenic—my social media posts had friends thinking I’d jetted off to another international getaway right after returning home. Xiapu’s summer is romantic and enchanting, reminding me once again that slowing down is what makes a trip truly meaningful ✈.
