✨Highlights: A symphony of mountains and sea in eastern Fujian! Explore stunning tidal flats recommended by "China National Geography" and immerse in thousand-year-old villages' cultural charm. Best of all? Few tourists and low prices make it Fujian's hidden gem destination~
📍Itinerary
Day1: Donghai No.1 Scenic Route→Gaoluo Beach→Dajing Beach
• Rent a car to drive along Ningde's viral coastal highway (navigate to Jishi Park Observation Deck), featuring S-curves and ocean views all the way!
• Free-entry Gaoluo Beach is perfect for crab hunting at low tide; Dajing Beach (¥30 entry) has finer sand, with optimal photo lighting after 4pm
✨Tips: Bring a windbreaker – overcast days create moody high-end photography
Day2: Yangjiaxi Rongfeng Park→Banyueli She Ethnic Village
• Visit Yangjiaxi at dawn! The Tyndall effect beams + farmer-with-ox scene are inside Rongfeng Park (¥18 ticket)
• Banyueli preserves 300-year-old She architecture. Rent ethnic costumes (¥20/set) for photos – don't miss grandma's delicious black rice cakes at village entrance
✨Pro tip: Minimal commercialization means few restaurants; pack snacks
Day3: Xiapu County→Beqi Mudflats (or Dongbi Village in Sansha Town)
• Photographers must visit Beqi Mudflats at sunrise! Purple-pink dawn views are breathtaking (locate Beiqicun Primary School observation deck)
• Artsy travelers prefer Dongbi Village's rainbow road + terraced B&Bs. Sip afternoon tea at viral Shijianhai B&B's terrace
🚗Transport Tips:
1️⃣Xiapu's attractions are scattered – charter cars (~¥300/day) or self-drive recommended
