The four islands are located in the sea east of Xiapu, Ningde, Fujian, and are composed of more than 20 islands, such as scattered emeralds embedded in the East China Sea. It has not been overexploited, retaining the original wild island temperament. The main island Beibei Island fishing village is scattered, and the fireworks are integrated with the sea erosion landform; Dongguan Island cliffs facing the sea, meadows like blankets, aerial photography perspective like the green ridge of the earth; red island (bird island) cliffs, summer sea snorkeling set, forming an ecological wonder Xiqiao Island volcanic rock reefs, tide carving out the secret of the cave. The weather in the islands is changing rapidly, and the clouds and clear skies alternately play, giving the landscape a poetic flow. It is necessary to pay attention to the inter-island traffic depends on fishing boats, and the infrastructure is simpler and suitable for tourists who pursue native nature and accept adventure travel. We recommend carrying windproof clothing and photographic equipment to see the most vivid sea and sky paintings between May and October.
Xiapu is well worth a visit, with the following highlights:
1. Beautiful tidal flat landscape:
- Rich color changes: Xiapu's tidal flats will present colorful colors in different seasons, weather and light conditions. At high tide, the sea water and the tidal flats blend with each other, sparkling; after low tide, the texture and shape of the tidal flats are revealed, like a natural art painting. At sunrise or sunset, the golden sunlight shines on the tidal flats, which contrasts with the sea water and the sky, and is beautiful.
- Unique geographical location advantage: Xiapu has a long coastline and numerous islands and harbors, which provide unique conditions for the formation of tidal flats. The tidal flats here are vast, with many famous tidal flat photography spots such as Shajiang, Beiqi, and Xiaohao, attracting many photography enthusiasts to capture the beautiful scenery.
2. Charming seaside scenery:
- Dongbi Village: Known as the Fujian version of "Santorini", facing the sea, colorful houses are stacked and staggered. There is a road leading directly to the sea, at the end of which is a beautiful scene of mountains and sea embracing each other and sunset blending together. In the evening, the afterglow of the sunset sprinkles on the sea, creating a romantic atmosphere.
- Luxia Lighthouse: Known as the "Little Kenting" of Xiapu, it is backed by a steep stone wall and faces the sea proudly. Here you can really see the Pacific Ocean, the sea and the sky are one color, and there are many ships. It is a good place to enjoy the sea view and feel the magnificence of the sea.
- Xiawei Island: After thousands of years of sea erosion, strange reef landforms have been formed. The waves keep hitting the rocks, and the sea breeze leaves a moving song. The sea caves surrounding the coastline are like a natural frame, freezing the scenery of the coastal reefs in the eyes, and there is a different world.
3. Ancient villages with a long history:
- Banyueli: It is a national ethnic characteristic village and a cultural heritage base of the She ethnic group. The whole village is beautiful with clear water and green water. The blue bricks and tiles and ancient houses have gone through hundreds of years, and the ancient charm still exists. This is a microcosm of the continuous development of the She ethnic culture in eastern Fujian, which allows people to have a deep understanding of the traditional culture and lifestyle of the She ethnic group.
4. Rich food culture:
- Seafood feast: Xiapu is rich in more than 1,000 kinds of seafood, including large yellow croaker, kelp, seaweed, sea cucumber, abalone, etc. The seafood here is full and fresh, and there are various cooking methods. Whether it is steamed, braised or boiled in soup, you can taste the deliciousness of seafood. For example, the salt-baked Yacheng Qidu crab has a lot of crab roe and a delicious and dense taste; abalone is cooked with pig's feet, which is tender and chewy, with a hint of pig's feet fragrance, and very tasty.
- Special snacks: In addition to seafood, Xiapu's local snacks are also mouth-watering. There are Xiapu seafood fried rice noodles, which are the taste that every Xiapu person who has left home misses; there are also clear soup noodles, which seem simple but have the unique flavor of Xiapu; in addition, Sansha fish balls, meat swallows, and meat dumplings are collectively known as the "Three Wonders of Sansha", and Minnan paste, Sansha chicken rolls, and rice cakes are also worth tasting.
5. Good ecological landscape:
- Ewan Mangrove: Located in Ewan Village, Yantian Township, it is named because its bay resembles a goose head. This is a beautiful sea forest with a beautiful ecological environment. You can take pictures of cloud reflections, sailing boats, fishermen casting nets, etc.

No.2 of Best Things to Do in Xiapu

Last month I came to Yangjia Creek in Xiapu, Ningde. It is a picturesque place. As soon as I entered the scenic area, I was attracted by the scenery in front of me. Walking along the stream, the water is clear and the streamside is full of green water plants. Occasionally, you can see a few small fish playing in the water. The ancient road by the stream is paved with bluestone, and it seems that you can hear the echo of history when you step on it.
The most amazing thing is Rongfeng Park, where there are the northernmost ancient banyan trees in the world. One of them, the "Banyan King", is more than 800 years old, with a trunk circumference of 12.6 meters, a crown diameter of 51 meters, and a height of 30 meters. The trunk is hollow with 7 holes, which can accommodate several people. The branches and leaves of these ancient banyan trees are intertwined, forming a natural green barrier. Next to the ancient banyan tree is a maple forest. In late autumn, the red leaves are like fire, which contrasts with the emerald green of the ancient banyan tree, which is beautiful.
Take a bamboo raft down the river, the stream gently pats the raft, and the scenery on both sides unfolds like a picture scroll. The green mountains in the distance are rolling, and the stream nearby is sparkling, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland. The beauty of Yangjia Creek lies not only in its natural scenery, but also in its profound historical and cultural heritage. It carries the heavy history of Yang Wenguang, a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, pacifying the Eighteen Caves of the Southern Barbarians and leaving Yang's soldiers to garrison. There are also many cliff carvings from past dynasties, which allow people to appreciate the beauty while feeling the weight of history.
Yangjia Creek is really a place worth visiting again and again. It has both natural wonders and profound cultural heritage, which makes people linger.
The rafting is very worthwhile and takes a long time. The banyan trees in Rongfeng Park are very shocking. I like it very much. It is a baptism for the eyes and makes people feel relaxed and happy. It is a place suitable for both adults and children and is worth visiting.

Huazhu Village is located on the east coast mountain of Sansha Town, Xiapu. From a high point, you can see bamboo rafts in the near distance, fishing rafts in the middle, and islands in the far distance. The scenery is vast, the sea and the sky meet, and it is extremely spectacular! Living here feels a bit like a paradise.
If you were asked to describe the colors of nature, where would you start? Perhaps you would think of the changes of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, but the colors of nature that I want to introduce to you today come from the tidal changes of sunrise and sunset.
Xiapu, a small county town that is not well-known in Fujian, but the sea here is the favorite of every photography enthusiast. In 24 hours a day, countless colors and countless colors will appear on the sea. When the sun rises slowly from the east, you come to Beiqi or Huazhu, a beam of light hits the sea surface, and the reflection of the shining reflection in your eyes, you will feel the beginning of the day, this beginning is so soft, so beautiful, so full of hope.
