Itinerary
Day 1: Xiapu Railway Station-Xiaohao Village-Dongbi Village
Stop At: Xiapu County, Xiapu County, Fujian
Upon arrival, you will be warmly greeted by your local tour guide at Xiapu Railway Station and escorted to your hotel with a private comfortable vehicle. Take a break and then have an authentic and delicious lunch on Xiapu Seafood Stall Street. In this afternoon, you’ll be driven to Xiaohao Village, which is a famous place for shooting sandiness mudflat and sunset. The freshwater channel flowing down the mountain changes into a new tortuous channel after each tide. Under the refraction of various lights, it looks like a bright neon from afar. As long as there is light, there will be an inexhaustible source of creation. The east of Xiaohao is great for photographing with back lighting and the color of its beach changing with light, offering photographers hidden surprises. The west of Xiaohao is great for shooting with front lighting, photographing super large-scale scene of kelp harvest – fishing boats like mighty forces shuttling among the bamboo poles on the sea, which is like a grand movement composed by many dancing musical notes. Then head to Dongbi Village for sunset. Dongbi Village is surrounded by mountains and has a wide view. It is an ideal spot for sunsets. The photography spots on the east wall can not only capture the magnificent sunset, but also capture the scene of fishermen fishing nets. As some fishermen hang their fishing nets here on the mudflat, it is very lucky to shoot some pictures of the ordinary tools to increase your amounts of cultural themed photographic works of Xiapu. After that, transfer you back to your hotel.

More than 200,000 domestic and foreign filmmakers have been filming the scenery of the beach every year.The morning golden sunshine spurting down on the sea, changes the mudflat into a dreamy colorful world.

Later, you’ll be driven to Weijiang Village in Xiapu County, another place engaged in seaweed farming in China’s northeast Fujian Province. The locals call this island “Mantoushan,” or “steamed bun mountain, ” because it does indeed look like the Chinese steamed bun.
