I thought Quanzhou was already very beautiful, until I went to Xiapu
Xiapu, this small county town located on the northeast coast of Fujian, hides endless beauty and stories. 🌅
In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight falls on the mudflats of Beiqi, Xiapu puts on a golden coat. 🌅 The working people on the mudflats, along with the distant fishing boats and seagulls, form a beautiful picture.
In the afternoon, strolling through the streets and alleys of the ancient town is like traveling through time. 🏞️ The ancient buildings, the bluestone roads, and the simple residents all make one feel the sediment of the years and the thickness of history.
At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles on the sea surface, shimmering with waves. 🌊 At this moment, sitting by the sea, listening to the sound of the waves hitting the rocks, feeling the gentle breeze on your face, a sense of tranquility and comfort inevitably arises in your heart.
The night in Xiapu has its own unique flavor. 🌃 The street lights, the bustle of the night market, and the fragrant snacks all make people linger and forget to return.
Xiapu, a place full of charm, every time you come here, there are new discoveries and touches. 💖 If you haven't been to Xiapu yet, you must come and experience the beauty and tranquility here.

The sunset was on the way back from the East Sea No.1 Ring Line, because of the heavy traffic, we couldn't get to the place to watch the sunset. Just on the way, there was a mudflat, stopped to see the most beautiful sunset, there were distant mountains and mudflats and shrimp cages, the original most beautiful scenery is in the inadvertent place.

Around the Country Series 135 Xiapu Beiqi Tidal Flat
🌈Historical Background:
Xiapu County, established in the twelfth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1734), belonged to Funing Prefecture, and now belongs to Ningde City. Xiapu County has a long history. During the Three Kingdoms period, it was the shipbuilding base of the Eastern Wu, known as 'Wenma Ship Camp' in history. In the third year of Taikang in the Jin Dynasty, Xiapu started to set up Wenma County, which has a history of 1741 years of county establishment, and has successively produced a group of historical and cultural celebrities such as Lingyou, the founder of Winyang Sect, Huang Shouqi, the master of Yi Studies, and You Shou, a famous historian and calligrapher.
🚗Highlight Introduction:
Beiqi Tidal Flat is the most exciting shooting spot in Xiapu, and it is also the closest spot to the county town, only five kilometers away from the town. The most famous here are the tiger skin-like tidal flat patterns and the shadows of poles, people and boats all over the beach and sea. During the high tide, the busy ships shuttle between the buoy pole shadows (seaweed racks), blending with the sparkling sea, distant mountains, and islands, which is spectacular.
🎫Ticket Information:
Free admission
✨Travel Suggestions:
It is recommended to drive by yourself. There is a small road from Xiapu County to Beiqi Village, where there are many homestays. At sunset in the afternoon, you will see the tide rushing in, slowly submerging the entire tidal flat. There is a small road to shoot the sunrise tidal flat directly, but there will be many people setting up tripods in the morning, and it depends on luck. After shooting, you can go back to the village to eat seafood noodles

The fishermen at Xiapu Beach also have houses on land. They spend most of their time living at sea because they need to inspect cages every day, feeding, laying down or harvesting. The fishermen here are very hardworking. Although the farming income is high and some employ workers, it is not easy to earn money. The ship is the only production and transportation of fishermen. Whether it is fresh water, necessities, farmed aquatic products or other materials, it is transported by wooden or iron vessels of varying tonnage. Mid-May is the season of kelp harvesting. The sea vessels are moving around and the fishermens village is busy.
The fishing village in the sea does not have the hustle and bustle of the city, nor the bustling crowds, only the gently swaying breeding platforms and huts. The cottages are made of simple sheets and vary in size and color. Looking at the stars from afar, dotted with bamboo rafts, the scenery is extremely spectacular. During the day, the fishermen are rafting on the sea or strolling on the platform, making work easy and leisurely. In the evening, there was a smoky smoky sky over the wooden house, and the rice scented with the salty smell of the sea breeze. The fishermen are making sunrises and sunsets. It seems to be hard. In fact, it is easy to be a good sight of a paradise.
