Huazhu Sunrise.
Xiapu
Huazhu Village is located in Sansha Town, Xiapu County, Ningde City, Fujian Province. It is a peninsula village surrounded by the sea on three sides. This village is famous for its magnificent sunrise views and is known as the "Landmark of Sunrise in China." Huazhu Village is not only an excellent place to watch the sunrise, but also attracts many tourists and photography enthusiasts due to its unique geographical location and natural scenery. Huazhu Village is located on the edge of Funing Bay, facing Yushan Island across the water, with unique natural conditions. It is not only the best place to enjoy the panoramic view of the "Fuyao Islands," especially at sunrise, when the first ray of sunlight rises in the east, the entire sea and sky are dyed with gorgeous colors, forming a magnificent scene of harmony between heaven and man. If you encounter a foggy day, the sea is full of clouds and mist, and the Fuyao Islands are looming, like a mirage.

The Huazhu Photography Point is located on a hillside facing east. The wind in the morning is very strong and the body feels a bit cold. The tripod swayed as the wind blew.
More than five o'clock, there is a bright color on the horizon of the East. A piece of golden yellow is getting brighter and brighter, and the sun is coming out. The tidal flat at the foot is rising. Finally the sun crossed the hill in the distance and appeared in front of you. Today's clouds are not too thick, seeing the complete sun.
The mountains in the distance are very ideal prospects. This island is like a thousand islands. After a while, the sun turned into a bright white color. The sun finally crossed the hill and projected on the sea. The sun in the distance is blocked by the nearby hills, and only half of the water is bright. I don't know when the boat on the water has been dispatched.
Sunshine is already strong and can't be seen directly, today is a good day.
Looking back, the stone is full of people, each picking the best position, like a guerrilla.
After the sun rose, the fishermen began to get busy.
