The simple and fashionable design, the light sky blue looks particularly good, and it is super out of the picture with the sunset. And 360° turning silent on the road surface of the fishing village is also very smooth, 4 gear lever adjustment is light and easy to push~ The self-weight is also very light, and girls can easily handle it when traveling up and down the stairs!
Sometimes clothes and socks are not cleaned in time, they can be placed in the exclusive grid of the interior decoration. The interior grid is RPET lining, full of details. In addition to being able to pack luggage, it can occasionally act as a shooting prop when taking pictures, making my travel more convenient and joyful~

Xiapu Homestay | Spend a holiday in front of the window, and the light boat outside the window goes far away to the mountains
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.

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!

Check in at the Sijiao Islands! It's amazing.
We left Ningbo at 3 am and arrived in Xiapu County at 9:40 am.
We caught the 10 am ferry.
The Bird Island was closed when we went.
We only visited the other three islands. Check them out if you're interested.
Dongzhuo Island
- This island has a circular stepped island, preserving the original mountain and sea scenery. It's a great place for photos, and there are sheep. We recommend spending about 2 hours here.
- The island's "Lion Peak" and "Emperor's Hat" are unique in shape, contrasting with the lawn and cliffs. It's perfect for aerial photography, and you can take some great shots.
Nanzhuo Island
- This uninhabited black reef island has clear water and a pebble beach. The rusty yellow and black reefs are bright in the sun. You can enjoy the tranquility and see cattle and sheep.
- It's a great place to relax and a good spot for diving. You can see coral reefs and fish up close.
Beizhuo Island
- The only island in the Sijiao Islands where you can stay overnight. There are 3 homestays that need to be booked in advance. It's a great place to watch the sunrise and one of the first places on the west coast of the Taiwan Strait to see the sunrise.
- The island has beautiful beaches and unique reefs. You can also experience the island's mountain city scenery and feel the local customs.
🤩 Tips from someone who's been there
❶ Don't wait until you get there to find a homestay.
▪️Contact a homestay on Beizhuo Island before you go.
Make sure the host can show you around the island.
We recommend Qianyu Homestay or Yujian Homestay on the Sijiao Islands.
The host is a local and knows many beautiful places.
They're very friendly, and the room has floor-to-ceiling windows with a sea view.
▪️When you arrive at Beizhuo Island Port from Jishi Wharf, the homestay will send a car to pick you up.
❷ If you want to take photos, don't just follow the big boat to the island! The Dongzhuo and Bird Islands only stop for an hour, which is very rushed. We recommend booking a homestay or arranging a boat trip with a partner in the afternoon!

Xiapu | It's not an exaggeration to call it the pinnacle of aerial photography.
| It's not an exaggeration to call it the pinnacle of aerial photography. Over the years, I've been to Fujian four times, always wanting to visit Xiapu but never making it. This year, I finally fulfilled that wish and spent two days photographing in Xiapu. These nine photos were all taken in Xiapu. Compared to aerial shots of grand landscapes, I now find these small cultural scenes more intriguing.

1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ Harvesting Seaweed (Not Staged)
Outside Xiaohao Beach, there are vast fields of seaweed. At sunrise, fishermen work amidst the interplay of light and shadow, creating a sense of harmony between man and nature.
-
4️⃣5️⃣ Xiaohao Beach (Staged)
On this tidal flat, there's a shallow water channel. When sunlight hits it, the textures look beautiful. Unfortunately, it was cloudy when I visited, so I couldn't capture it. However, the layered waves on a windy day turned out to be quite stunning.
-
6️⃣ Nanwan Oracle Bone Script (Staged)
An artificial scene, besides this "Oracle Bone Script," there are also colorful nets. However, the nets were damaged by a typhoon, so I didn't photograph them. This scene has a one-hour shooting window during high and low tides; otherwise, it's just water or mud.
-
7️⃣ Repairing Fishing Nets (Not Staged)
Xiapu has indoor setups for staged fishing net weaving, but you can occasionally find real scenes of net repair by the roadside. These can only be captured during the fishing season.
-
8️⃣ Harvesting Oysters (Not Staged)
A scene of oyster harvesting by the sea, captured by chance.
-
9️⃣ Making Fish Sauce (Staged)
A roadside fish sauce factory, where you might be lucky enough to capture workers laboring among the jars.
-
Overall, Xiapu does have some staged scenes, but there are also many authentic labor scenes. Different seasons and harvests offer different photo opportunities. Next time, I hope to capture scenes of drying kelp, seaweed, fish, clam harvesting, and net casting...

Accommodation Recommendations in Dongbi, Xiapu
Some Tips for Traveling to Xiapu
When visiting Xiapu, I highly recommend staying in Dongbi Village. Many popular homestays and restaurants are located in this area. I suggest staying at No. 88 Homestay, which also offers dining options. It is a true sea-view room with an infinity pool, perfect for taking stunning photos!
Moreover, the famous Instagram-worthy staircase is right next to No. 88 Homestay. The popular photo spot shown in picture 2 is also nearby. It's very convenient for dining, accommodation, and photography!
When you're by the sea, you must try the seafood🦐, especially the baby cuttlefish, which you can only find by the seaside. It's incredibly tender and delicious! Another local specialty is Minnan paste, which is also quite good and can be a main dish. The oyster omelette is highly recommended as well.
Lastly, I suggest buying a small bucket and shovel in advance for playing on the beach🏖️. You might dig up some unexpected surprises! We saw others with them and were so envious, just watching them. If you're taking night photos on the beach, I recommend bringing a small lamp or sparklers🎆 to create a great atmosphere.
My friends keep asking me if this is abroad, but it's actually Xiapu, Fujian.
