Escape to the secluded island of Xiapu in China! The most successful trip following the trend!!!
Always wanted to visit Xiapu
To see this dreamlike island in China
Si Sha Archipelago, a destination I've always longed for
It's the real-life version of Hyrule from The Legend of Zelda
It's the sheer cliffs standing in the middle of the sea
It's the uninhabited island where loneliness and romance coexist
The constant sound of the waves seems to tell the story of this land's eternal passage of time
📍Si Sha Archipelago, Xiapu County, Ningde City, Fujian Province
🚃Take the high-speed train to Xiapu Station - 🚗Rent a car to Jishi Wharf/🚖Take a taxi - 🚢From Jishi Wharf to Bei Sha Island - 🛶From Bei Sha Island to Bird Island
Parking is available at the wharf for easy round trips
The trip from Jishi to Bei Shuang Island costs ¥80 one way and ¥100 for the return trip. If time allows, it's recommended to stay for a few more days! Both Dong Sha and Bei Sha Islands are beautiful
Follow the big boat for ¥70 with a 1-hour stop, or charter a boat for ¥600-¥1200 with a 4-hour stop
🚗If you're visiting Qida Village and Dongbi Village, consider this itinerary
❶Arrive in Fuzhou - 1.5h to Lianjiang Qida Village - 2.5h to Xiapu Dongbi Village
❷Explore Dongbi Village - Light and Shadow Walkway - Path by the Sea leading to the Ocean - 1.2h to Gaoluo Beach
❸Take a boat from Jishi Wharf to Bei Shuang Island at 10:00 am - Head out to sea to Dong Shuang Island, Bird Island, and Nan Shuang Island at 1:30 pm
❹Leave the island at 8:30 am and arrive at Jishi Wharf - 40min to Donghai No.1 Line Lüxia Lighthouse - 21min to Xiaowei Island Sea Erosion Cave - Haiwei Corner Halifa Tower
Important tips‼️‼️
When visiting Si Sha Archipelago, don't miss the main island of Bei Sha Island
99.9% of tourists head straight for Dong Sha Island and Bird Island
🤩Tips from someone who's been there
❶Don't wait until you're on the island to find a homestay
Contact a homestay on Bei Sha Island before you go
And make sure the host can take you around the main island
Recommended are Qianyu Homestay or Yujian Homestay on Si Sha Archipelago
The owner is a local and knows many beautiful places
Very enthusiastic, and the rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows with direct sea views
A car will pick you up from the homestay once you arrive at Bei Sha Island port from Jishi Wharf
❷If you have photography needs, don't just follow the big boat to the island! Dong Sha and Bird Island only allow a one-hour stay which is very rushed
It's suggested to arrange with homestay partners or start making arrangements with partners on the scheduled boat
Go out to sea together in the afternoon! The scheduled boat costs 600-1200! It's very cost-effective to charter a boat together and you can enjoy the whole afternoon! If the weather is good, you can even chase a sunset at sea (so important‼)
❸Don't just stay for one day and leave in a hurry
Don't think that visiting Dong Sha Island and Bird Island means you've seen it all and leave the island at 8:30 the next day! Let the homestay host take you around the main island the next day
❶Visit the military fortresses and air-raid shelters left from 66.67 years ago
❷Look for cows and sheep on the island
❸Visit the especially majestic sea cliffs
❹Explore the deep sea erosion caves! You can even find sea urchins there
❺Be sure to walk along the Stone Slope, the most beautiful fishing village path

"It's okay to go see the sea on a cloudy day.
If you can't change the weather, then change your mood."
Location: Dongbi Village, Xiapu County, Ningde City, Fujian Province
1⃣️ Blue Collection Homestay (There is an old boat nearby, it's a one-way road going down, be careful when taking photos!
2⃣️ Dongbi Village Internet-famous Road (A small road leading to the sea, between No. 88 Homestay and Shi Jian Hai Homestay)
3⃣️ Shugang Highway (To be honest, I can't find the internet-famous check-in spot at all, I've gone around several times, I feel like the road might have been repaired and can't be found.)
4⃣️ The itinerary was arranged temporarily, so the accommodation was also booked quite late, found a relatively new and clean homestay, easy parking and not crowded. It's very convenient to stay here with parents and children, (Meixiang's Home) not in Dongbi Village but very close to the town.

Sunset at Dongbi Village, Xiapu
After a whole day of waiting, just for these ten-plus minutes of sunset, the golden sun spreads across the sea.
Checking the sunset time on the phone, it was around 5:40. Almost missed it for the sake of enjoying Fuding sliced meat, didn't leave the restaurant until 5:30 leisurely looking for direction. The kind-hearted proprietress kindly inquired and then reminded us that the sun was about to set in a few minutes, pointing us to the nearest direction to snap a few shots.
Overall, the folk customs in Xiapu are still quite simple, and the prices at the village's small shops and snacks are also reasonable. The major expense is the cost of homestays, with prices skyrocketing to seven or eight hundred or even a thousand during the Spring Festival period. However, we all camped by ourselves, which was good

|||This is a lesser-known coastal city in Fujian. I went to Xiapu, and it was the most successful trip following the trend!!|||This is a lesser-known coastal city in Fujian, with secluded beautiful islands. In summer, the green scenery is picturesque, just like the scenes from a real-life Zelda, and in winter, watching the sunset at Dongbi is very cozy. Having a few drinks there feels just right, and the road to the sea is the romance of the entire fishing village. It's really suitable for a leisurely stroll to enjoy the romantic sunset over the orange sea~

A meticulously arranged travel route to Xiapu
The new year has arrived
May you have unexpected luck and
Sudden joy
Spend the Spring Festival in this coastal city
The pace of life here is slow
Local fishermen mainly rely on aquaculture
Fishing boats sing in the evening, steaming with the glow of the setting sun, and the four reefs are left in the ocean!
The sunset along the coastline is full of sea-viewing spots
There is a romantic road to the sea
And a black beach that you can see without going to Iceland
I believe you will also like the scenery here

The snow scene matches the sunset even better
Today's east wall is dressed in silver
The golden sunlight shines on the white snow
It looks sparkling and extraordinarily charming
In the afternoon, the strands of sunset shine through the clouds on the sea
This beautiful scene
Did you appreciate it

Fujian Trip 11
2024.01.18 Beijing Time 13:40, the third stop of Fujian trip today arrived at Dongbi Village, Xiapu. Here, with mountains at the back and sea in front, the view is wide open, making it a prime location for seaside sunset photography. Especially during the seaweed farming season, the peculiar shadows of the poles, the shuttling boats, and the golden sunset create a spectacular view where mountains, sea, people, villages, beaches, reefs, forests, fishing boats, and bamboo poles perfectly blend. Photographers from all over the world flock here. Dongbi Village also has several modern and luxurious sea-view homestays such as 'Shi Jian Hai', 'Yi Qi Yi Su', and 'Hou Hai'. On the sea-facing balcony, you can watch the sunrise and sunset, and the clouds and boats return; in the luxurious bedrooms, you can sleep to the sound of the waves and dream with the sea breeze. Unfortunately, it was afternoon when we arrived, and the backlighting made it difficult to take pictures of the sea, but it had a unique charm.

Here lies China's most beautiful coastline. Warm in winter and cool in summer, with tides throughout the four seasons, the light and shadow of the sky, the fishing houses, small boats, fishing nets, buoys and bamboo poles are ever-changing and dreamlike due to the beautiful tides and light, making it the most beautiful mudflat in the country.

At the foot of the mountain is the beach, the sea water is washing the beach wave after wave, the sun gives the waves a golden edge, the light and shadow of the waves and beach change, attracting photographers to swarm. This is an ideal shooting point for sunset, a winding waterway on the beach, a small stream flows through it, washing out a complex and changeable texture, the soft lines present a golden hue under the afterglow of the sunset, and the fisherwoman returns from the sea bathed in the afterglow of the sunset.

Sunset sunset, red clouds and shadows, the east wall is not one of the famous scenery of Xiapu East Line. A picture is like a painting, which is more textured than oil painting. Most of the works that have been photographed in recent years have won awards, and they are therefore famous.
