Don't Go to Gulangyu to See the Sea in Xiamen Anymore! Huangcuo Beach is More Worth It!

✨ Guide to Enjoying the Sea at Huangcuo Beach This is Xiamen locals' secret "ultimate relaxation spot"! The 4.2 km coastline has few people and pristine scenery, with water so clear you can see the shadow of your feet.
