Xiapu, this off-the-beaten-path coastal city, is truly amazing! Watch the sunrise, go clam digging, eat seafood, and capture stunning light and shadow photos🌅. A 2-day special forces itinerary is just perfect~ 🌊【2 Days 1 Night Special Forces Itinerary】 Day 1 📍Beiqi Tidal Flat (5:00-7:30): The perfect spot to watch the sunrise, the tidal flat looks like an ink painting in the morning light. Navigate to "Beiqi Village" and then walk 🚶‍♀️10 minutes to the viewing platform 📍Yangjiaxi Banyan and Maple Park (9:00-11:00): 30 RMB entrance fee, the famous scene of the old man leading the ox is here. Wearing a light-colored dress👗 is recommended for better photos 📍Dongbi Village (15:00-sunset): A must-visit! This small village faces the sea, with white houses paired with the sunset🌄 glow, very healing. Recommended to take photos on the terrace of Shijianhai Homestay 📷 Day 2 📍Shajiang S Bend (6:00-8:00): 20 RMB entrance ticket🎫 The S-shaped waterway made of bamboo poles is stunning, bring a telephoto lens 📍Haiweijiao (10:00-12:00): A lesser-known spot, the reef cluster resembles the Burj Khalifa. Remember to wear non-slip shoes! Nearby Dajingsha Beach is also worth a visit 📍Xiawei Island (16:00-sunset): The natural sea erosion cave is very photogenic. Be sure to check the tide table! You can only enter the cave at low tide 🦞【Food Tips】 ✅Seafood stalls where you can eat your fill for about 50 RMB per person: Must-try at Taste of Seafood (Taikang Road branch) are the chopped whelk and razor clams ✅Xiapu specialty thick soup: Grandma’s Thick Soup (Longshou Road old shop) with baby squid is amazing 💡【Practical Tips】 🔸Photography enthusiasts are advised to visit in October-November when the seaweed season colors the tidal flats most richly 🔸Since attractions are scattered, it’s recommended to hire a car (about 400 RMB/day). There are official car teams at the high-speed rail station🚄 🔸Bring mosquito repellent! There are lots of mosquitoes🦟 near the tidal flats
