People have returned, but their hearts are still in Xiapu

People have returned, but their hearts are still in Xiapu❗ Even my phone’s photo album is nostalgic for this sea🌊 “After visiting Fujian ten times, I finally understand why photographers say: Xiapu is the hometown of light and shadow.” 📸 Here’s my “pitfall-free secret route”: ✅ Dongbi Village sunset — boardwalks intertwined with white guesthouses, the orange sea shines so brightly it makes your heart tremble ✅ Beiqi Tidal Flats — 5 a.m. tidal mirror, veteran photographers all squat here ✅ Sili Islands — take a boat into a real-life “Zelda,” meadows and cliffs dance with seagulls ✅ Xiawei Island Cave — enter at low tide, light leaks through rock crevices like a miracle 🚗 Travel tips: • High-speed rail goes directly to “Xiapu Station,” renting a car is the most flexible • Check boat schedules in advance for island routes! Sailing stops in bad weather • Use the precise “photography guide map” for tidal flat shooting spots, don’t trust random signs 🦞 Foodie secrets: ▫️ Taikang Road food stalls — braised razor clams, spicy snail soup ▫️ Sansha Snack Shop — Minnan porridge + oyster omelet, sticky and delicious ▫️ Seafood market self-selection and cooking — remember! Bargain hardest after dusk ⚠️ Hard-earned lessons: 1. Tide table = lifeline! No low tide at Xiawei Island/Xiaohao tidal flats = wasted trip 2. Sunscreen must be “physical + chemical” combo, seaside UV rays bite 3. Choose guesthouses in Dongbi Village > county town, open your window at dawn to a sea mist wonderland 💌 Aftereffects warning: You’ll sigh at city sunsets after returning The blue of Xiapu in your phone will autoplay late at night
