Xiamen Travel: Baicheng Beach Photo Guide

Here's a photo guide for Baicheng Beach in Xiamen: Preparation • Transportation: If you drive, navigate to "Hulishan Cannon Fort Parking Lot." If you take the bus, take No. 20, 48, 92, etc. to "Xiamen University Baicheng" Station. • Shooting time: If you want to shoot the sunset, check the sunset time in advance and arrive early. If you want to avoid the crowds, go at noon. • Outfit suggestions: In summer, wear a cool beach dress, shorts, etc. In spring and autumn, wear a shirt or light jacket. In winter, wear warm and stylish cotton clothes, sweaters, etc. You can also wear sunglasses, hats, and other accessories. Photo spots and tips • Coastal reefs: Stand on the reef and take a panoramic photo with the sea and the Twin Towers in the background, or take a close-up of a person. Use a telephoto lens to zoom in on the Twin Towers to add depth to the picture. Take photos in the side light at 4 or 5 pm to make the outline of people and scenery clearer. • Coconut grove on the shore: Use the coconut grove as the foreground to take a panoramic photo of the beach and the sea. At sunset, take a silhouette of a person in the shadow of the coconut grove. Take a low-angle shot with the blue sky as the background to highlight the tall coconut grove. • Twin Towers on the sea: Find a good angle on the beach and take dynamic photos of people jumping, running, etc. with the Twin Towers in the background. Use a slow shutter speed to capture the traffic on Yanwu Bridge and contrast it with the Twin Towers. • Beach sculpture: Take a photo with the giant mouse sculpture. You can use creative shooting techniques, such as pretending to operate the mouse. Use the sculpture as the foreground to take a photo of the distant sea and sky. • Semi-circular overpass: Stand on the overpass and take a photo with Baicheng Beach and the sea in the background. Use the shape of the overpass to take a photo of a person walking from one end of the bridge to the other from behind or from the side. Take a photo of the entire overpass from under the bridge and blend it with the beach and the sea.
