Hey everyone👋, I'm a travel enthusiast who loves to explore. I recently visited Xiapu, and the scenery in April was simply breathtaking😍. There's so much to see and do, and I can't wait to share my travel tips with you. Let's head to Xiapu together! 📍【About Xiapu】 Xiapu, located in Ningde City, Fujian Province, is a photographer's paradise👏. It boasts a 480-kilometer coastline dotted with tidal flats, bays, and islands. With the ebb and flow of the tides and the changing light, the sea and tidal flats transform into a myriad of forms. The seaweed farms and bamboo poles create unique lines, making it a dreamlike destination. In April, the weather in Xiapu is getting warmer, the sea breeze is gentle, and wildflowers bloom along the coast. It has the grandeur of a coastal city and the gentle charm of spring. Every inch of land holds surprises woven with light and shadow. 🚗【Transportation】 ✈️By Air: You can fly to Wenzhou Longwan International Airport or Fuzhou Changle International Airport, both relatively close to Xiapu. From Wenzhou, there's a direct bus to Xiapu, which takes about 3–4 hrs. You can enjoy the coastal scenery of Zhejiang and Fujian along the way. From Fuzhou, taking the high-speed train is the most convenient option, taking just over an hour to reach Xiapu Station. From there, buses are readily available to start your journey😃. 🚄By High-Speed Rail: Xiapu Station has frequent train services. There are dedicated bus lines from the station to various attractions. It's super convenient to get to popular spots like Beiqi Tidal Flat and Sansha Town. If you have a lot of luggage, taxis are also readily available at reasonable prices. 🚗By Car: The expressways to Xiapu are in good condition. However, the roads to some coastal villages and scenic areas are narrow, so be careful when passing other vehicles. When parking, pay attention to the signs and park in designated parking lots to avoid fines. 🗺【Recommended Itinerary】 Day 1: Beiqi Tidal Flat - Xiapu County - Taikang Road Food Street Morning: Get up early and head to Beiqi Tidal Flat, one of the "most beautiful tidal flats in China." In the early morning of April, the tidal flat shimmers under the sunrise, with seaweed farms scattered across the landscape. The sight of fishermen returning from the sea is truly captivating. Photography enthusiasts shouldn't miss this golden hour. Noon: Try Fuding meat slices in Xiapu County. They are chewy, smooth, sour, and spicy, allowing the deliciousness of the pork to burst on your taste buds. Super satisfying😋. Afternoon: Stroll around Xiapu County and experience the charm of this coastal town. In the evening, go to Taikang Road Food Street, where you'll find a wide variety of seafood and snacks. Stroll and eat to your heart's content. Day 2: Sansha Town - Dongbi Village - Huazhu Village Morning: Head to Sansha Town, home to an ancient fishing port. The harbor is filled with colorful fishing boats, providing excellent material for cultural photography. Noon: Enjoy a hearty seafood feast. I recommend Xiapu kelp soup, made with fresh kelp. It's delicious, nutritious, and will warm you up. Afternoon: Visit Dongbi Village. At sunset, the golden sunlight spills onto the sea, painting the tidal flats, fishing boats, and seaweed racks in a beautiful golden hue. Then, go to Huazhu Village, a great place to enjoy panoramic views of the "Fuyao Islands" and the sunrise. The view is wide open, and the scenery is picturesque. Day 3: Xiaohao Village - Banyueli - Return Trip Morning: Head to Xiaohao Village. The beach displays fascinating textures created by the tides, and the waves crashing against the shore create an ever-changing spectacle of light and shadow. It's a paradise for photography. Noon: Try the local seafood fried rice noodles. The noodles are chewy, the seafood is plentiful, and the flavor is rich and savory. Every bite is bursting with the taste of the sea. After lunch, stroll around, buy some local specialties like Xiapu seaweed and kelp, and then head back. 📝【Practical Tips】 🎫Tickets: Most attractions in Xiapu are free, but some viewing platforms may charge a small parking or cleaning fee. 🕙Opening Hours: Vary by attraction. Be sure to check the official website or call in advance to plan your itinerary accordingly. 📸Photography: Wear bright sportswear or colorful dresses on the tidal flats and by the sea. The lighting is beautiful during sunrise and sunset. Find the right angle, and you'll get amazing photos. 🍱【Food Recommendations】 1. Razor Clams: A Xiapu specialty, the meat is tender and sweet. Steamed razor clams offer a pure and delicious taste. 2. Xiapu-style Hotchpotch: This thick soup contains seafood, vegetables, minced meat, and more. Sprinkled with chopped green onions and pepper, it's a warm and comforting breakfast option. 3. Ada Tangyuan: These large tangyuan (glutinous rice balls) are filled with either sweet sesame and sugar or savory minced meat. The filling is juicy and flavorful. 4. Sansha Minnan Hotchpotch: Made with seafood, meat, vegetables, and flour, this hotchpotch offers a rich and savory taste. 💡【Tips】 1. The temperature difference between day and night in Xiapu in April is significant, so bring a thick jacket🧥to wear in the morning and evening. 2. The UV rays are strong by the sea, so take sun protection measures, including sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat. 3. To capture the best photos of the tidal flats, check the tide times in advance. Xiapu in April is full of surprises. Pack your bags and head there now💕. I believe you'll fall in love with this charming place!

In the long river of time, there are always some places, like shining pearls, exuding unique charm, making people dream of them. Sansha Town is such a place that makes people yearn for it. When I set foot on this land, it is like walking into a colorful picture scroll, every scenery tells its story, every corner exudes its charm. On October 1, 2024, on this special day, I came to Sansha Town with anticipation for the unknown and yearning for the beautiful. When I first entered Sansha, the fresh sea breeze blew in my face, carrying a faint salty taste, instantly awakening all my senses. In the distance, the blue sea and sky meet, boundless, the clear blue makes one's heart feel cleansed. Walking along the coastline, the soft and fine sand underfoot feels like a close contact with the earth. The waves keep hitting the coast, making a roaring sound, it is the symphony of nature, majestic and powerful. After the waves recede, a string of beautiful shells and small crabs are left on the beach, like gifts from the sea to the land, full of vitality and vigor. I bend down and pick up a shell, carefully observe its texture, and feel the breath of the sea. The pattern on the shell is like an abstract painting, telling the story of the sea and the vicissitudes of time. The sunrise in Sansha is a stunning scenery. In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight falls on the sea surface, the whole world seems to be awakened. The sky gradually becomes dyed with orange-red glow, and the clouds are also dyed with brilliant colors. On the distant sea level, the sun slowly rises, its warm light illuminates the entire Sansha Town, giving people a sense of hope and strength. I stand quietly on the beach, watching the sun rise little by little, my heart is filled with emotion. At this moment, time seems to stand still, only the beautiful sunrise and my inner peace. In addition to the beautiful beach, Sansha Town also has an ancient fishing village. Walking into the fishing village, a strong breath of life comes to my face. The old stone houses are arranged in a staggered manner, and the walls are covered with green vines, giving a simple and warm feeling. The alleys of the fishing village are narrow and winding, like a maze, full of desire for exploration. In the alley, you can see the busy figures of fishermen, some are mending fishing nets, some are sorting fishing gear, their faces are full of simple smiles. The people here live a simple and fulfilling life, they depend on the sea for their livelihood, and use their hard work and wisdom to create a beautiful life. Coming to Sansha, you must not miss the seafood here. Sansha's seafood is famous for its freshness and deliciousness, with a wide variety of fish, shrimp, crab, and shellfish. In the seaside restaurant, you can taste the most authentic seafood feast. Tender crabs, plump shrimp, delicious fish, every dish is unforgettable. Sitting by the window, enjoying the beautiful sea view while tasting delicious seafood, it is an unparalleled enjoyment. The seafood here is not only delicious, but also affordable, allowing you to fully enjoy the feast of food. Sansha Town also has many beautiful scenic spots. Among them, Liuyun Cave is a must-visit place. Liuyun Cave is located on the east wall mountain of Sansha Town, and it is a natural stone cave. The cave is full of strange rocks and stalactites in various shapes, which is very spectacular. Outside the cave is a beautiful seascape. Standing at the entrance of the cave, you can overlook the entire Sansha Town and the vast sea. Liuyun Cave is not only beautiful in scenery, but also has a deep cultural heritage. It is said that it was once a Buddhist holy land, and many eminent monks practiced here. The Buddha statues and stone carvings in the cave witness the vicissitudes of history and the changes of time. In addition to Liuyun Cave, Sansha also has many beautiful islands. These islands are like shining pearls scattered in the sea. Among them, Yushan Island is the most famous one. Yushan Island has beautiful grasslands, clear lakes and spectacular seascapes, and is known as "Sea Heaven Lake".

On the grassland, cattle and sheep graze leisurely, giving a peaceful and beautiful feeling. At the top of Yushan Island, you can overlook the entire island and the vast sea, the magnificent scenery is breathtaking. During my days in Sansha Town, I also met many hospitable locals.

Sansha Town is located in the northeast of Xiapu County, facing the sea to the east. Take the Sansha exit of the Shenhai Expressway and take County Road 981 for about 40 minutes to arrive. Sansha was originally a fishing port town, but now it has fully explored and developed the marine tourism economy, and the town's hotels, homestays, restaurants and travel are thriving. During the winter off-season, there are still many self-driving and elderly groups traveling for sightseeing. Huazhu, known as China’s sunrise-viewing landmark (Figures 1-2), is only about fifteen minutes’ drive from Sansha Town. Unfortunately, the weather was not good, with thick clouds covering the sky, and we were unable to see the rising sun. The Light and Shadow Plank Road (Figures 4-6) is said to be four or five kilometers long. It is particularly unique under the light of the sunset, but unfortunately it was cloudy when I first stepped in, and the light only shone through the gaps in the clouds when I walked out. But the scattered fishing boats and kelp farming rows anchored in the sea are quite distinctive. Dongbi (Figures 7-8) is the best spot to watch the sunset. During peak hours, many people take photos of the Dongbi Bridge, and it is even harder to find a room in a homestay facing the sea. There is also a treasure trove of Liuyun Temple (Figures 9-19) near Sansha Town. The temple gate is inconspicuous, facing the sea and built along the cliff. Many statues and stone carvings Lifelike, facing the sea, praying for the fishing boats to return safely and with a full load. There is also Xiaohao Beach (Figure 20), which is flooded by high tide. However, the homestay business in Xiaohao Village by the sea is thriving.
