#Summer Drive Spots
Ningde is a seriously underrated city in Fujian, boasting beaches, islands, delicious food, fishing villages, and even the "Zelda of Zelda"-like Sishuang Islands. The mudflats are like the secret code of the earth, and the colorful fishing villages resemble Italy's Cinque Terre. Xiapu's 510-kilometer coastline is breathtaking, with unique attractions like the Dongguashan Tidal Flats and the Qixing Fishing Raft in Xinan Town.
Route Planning 🗺️
- Day 1: Nanmendou (strolling and enjoying the local street food) → The Vegetable Market (experiencing local customs and culture)
- Day 2: Xiapu County South Route (cruising around the sea to see sea caves, etc.) → Danwan Observation Deck (glass cliff café by the sea) → Dongbi Village (a stunning fishing village)
- Day 3: Sishuang Islands (Dongluo Island, Xiluo Island, Nanluo Island, etc., experience the "Zelda of Zelda" experience)
Accommodation Recommendations 🏠
- Xiapu County: Stay the night here. The scenic area is about an hour's drive away, and the train can reach it in just over 20 minutes.
- Dongbi Village: During the off-season, choose a B&B with a view of the sea and the village. Around 400 per night is a moderate price, allowing you to enjoy the fishing village scenery.
Transportation 🚗
- Driving: It's most convenient to have your own car, saving time and luggage.
- Chartering a car/Public Transportation: If you're not driving, arrange a chartered car with a friend in advance. You can also combine public transportation like the train and bus. Transportation from Xiapu County to various attractions is quite convenient. To visit the Sishuang Islands, take a round-trip speedboat for 450 per person. Meet at the pier at 8:30 AM for boarding.
V. Food Recommendations 🍤
- Nanmendou: Meatballs sold by a grandmother on a cart at the alley entrance (the taro skin is so sticky it stretches, and the meat filling is juicy and rich); oyster cakes at the entrance (4 yuan each, with oysters and mixed vegetables, like a crispy version of floating rice cake); Old Nanmen Awangpo's roasted grass jelly (over 20 years old, old-fashioned honey flavor, with peanuts, grass jelly, soybeans, and adazi (the adazi are super chewy); taro noodles and mixed noodles at a shabby-looking noodle shop (48 yuan with 8 side dishes, the taro noodles are like potato noodles but not as chewy).
- County Town: A place full of students for rice cakes and flat meat (rice cakes are like thick rice noodle rolls, and flat meat is like wontons). Sweet potato cups and fish dumplings (the fish dumplings have a transparent skin and are super chewy).
- Seafood shop: A local favorite, the seafood is super fresh! When you come to Xiapu, you must try the yellow croaker (steamed, the meat melts in your mouth), as well as razor clams, mantis shrimp, oysters, and crab (all very plump, the crab's roe is incredibly juicy).
- Sansha Town: After returning, try some Southern Fujian snacks.
Six Tips📌
- Visiting attractions like the sea caves and Haiwei Cape requires careful consideration of the tide tables; these areas can only be seen at low tide.
- If you want to take photos without people, go early and quickly. Get off the sightseeing bus and head straight down; the path down is steep, so be careful.
- Wear sunscreen when visiting islands and beaches! Even on cloudy days, there's UV radiation, which can easily lead to sunburns.
- Visiting the Ningde vegetable market allows you to experience local customs and culture; if you enjoy the ambiance of everyday life, don't miss it.
- If you're prone to seasickness, be sure to prepare well before taking the speedboat to the Sishuang Islands.

🚗Ningde is an hour and a half drive from downtown Fuzhou In fact, Ningde is more famous for the area around Xiapu, such as Dongbi Village (a film-making holy place) and is close to the sea~ However, I only stayed in the city on the same day, and Xiapu is still a certain distance away from the city If you have to go to a place even if there is only 1 hour in between, I recommend Nanmendou! . Half an hour to an hour is actually enough. You can take pictures of the bridge at the front and the end (the atmosphere is shown in the picture) . 🔥🔥Recommended food near Nanmendou: ✅Awangpo Shaoxiancao (Huancheng Road 178) ✅Beef gouju (Huancheng Road Urban Building) ✅September Sugar Water . Time does not allow me to only eat Shaoxiancao😭😭 Not exaggerating! After showing off, it is worthy of being a 20-year-old store. There is no choice, only one, especially suitable for people like me who have a fear of choice. 7r/cup! . Xiapu still needs to come alone once! #NingdeTravel #FujianTravel #Where to Go for May Day #Celebrate May Day in a Colorful Way
