Time

The environment is OK, there are not many dishes, the seafood is expensive, the taste is satisfactory, and it is worth checking in. It is recommended to go in the evening, you can watch the sunset and take pictures. There are not many people recently, and there are many seats.

The environment is really amazing. If you want a sense of atmosphere, you will definitely not be disappointed. The best place to take photos nearby. The food tastes good. The golden button and sweet and sour spareribs are delicious. Trust me, don't order the scallion oil snails! Don't order it! Don't order it! It's like eating a mouthful of small stones. You can hardly taste the meat after eating it and spitting it out. You can just eat some scallion oil. It's better to order other scallion oil dishes. They should taste the same. And children can't eat this dish at all. It's a waste.

Who knows! This hidden gem of Ningde, Fujian, has finally been revealed! No overcrowded crowds, just a soothing landscape of grasslands stretching to the sea and ancient villages nestled by clear streams. After three days and two nights, my phone's photo album is overflowing with wallpaper-worthy scenery! 📸 🚗Highlights: 1️⃣ A trip encompassing mountains, sea, ancient villages, and delicious food. 2️⃣ Beautiful scenery, few crowds, and free – every shot is a masterpiece. 3️⃣ Seafood galore, less than 50 RMB per person. 📍Must-Visit Attractions: 【Dongbi Village】Recommended visit between 4-6 pm. The orange-yellow stone houses are layered upon each other, and the sunset reflecting on the sea is breathtaking. There's a café called "Shijianhai" in the village, with an amazing rooftop view of the entire sea. 【Yushan Island】You need to take a boat from Sansha Wharf (30-minute boat ride). The meadows are completely green this season. Walk along the island ring road to the Tianhu viewing platform; from the top of the mountain, you can see both the lake and the sea. 【Xiapu Mudflats】The century-old banyan tree grove in Yangjiaxi Banyan and Maple Park is breathtaking. The morning mist adds to the mystique; photography enthusiasts should remember to bring a tripod. 【Huotong Ancient Town】A well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty architectural complex. The kilometer-long stone-paved street along Huotong Creek is incredibly charming. We recommend trying the Huotong Guangbing (a type of flatbread) at the old street entrance—3 yuan each, crispy and fragrant. 🍜Top Food Picks: 1. Xiapu Taikang Road Seafood Stalls (60 yuan per person, eat until you're stuffed) 2. Fuding Meat Slices (the most authentic is at the old lady's stall at the entrance of Huotong Ancient Town) 3. Ningde Yellow Croaker (Steamed is highly recommended; the fish is so tender you can practically suck it out!) 🚌Transportation Tips: - Take the high-speed train to Ningde Station. The attractions are spread out, so driving/chartering a car is recommended. - The last ferry to Yushan Island departs at 5:30 PM; please plan your time accordingly. - Check the daily tide schedule for mudflat photography. Seriously, please come while it's still relatively unpopulated! Relaxing under ancient banyan trees, watching the sunset over the sea, and enjoying freshly caught seafood... I could live like this forever! #HiddenGardenInFujian #BeautifulNingdeWithoutCrowds #HealingMountainAndSeaTrip #AncientVillageVisit #OffTheToneOfTravel
