Dreaming of Xiapu Tour · Exploring the Dreamy Coast of Light and Shadow

📍China's First Poverty Alleviation Village [Chixi Village] Discover how this She ethnic village transformed from 30 years of poverty into a beautiful well-off village. Chixi Village dates back to the Taihe era of the late Tang Dynasty, founded by descendants of the renowned calligrapher Yan Zhenqing. Originally named Baibuyang, it was later renamed Chixi and became known as a military stronghold and vital transportation route. 📍China's First Health & Sports Stream [Jiuli Stream] Jiuli Stream is famed for its pristine waters and stunning scenery, described poetically as "embraced by emerald peaks, untouched by dust." Its winding waters, flanked by lush green mountains, towering rocks, and crystal-clear pools, resemble the Nine Bends of Wuyi. Visitors can raft downstream, admiring 72 lifelike rock formations like "Tang Monk's Pilgrimage," "Fairy Descending," and "Bodhidharma Meditating." 📍Sansha Viewing Boardwalk Perched between mountains and sea, this boardwalk offers sweeping, spectacular views. Watch boats glide across the bay, where a winding sandy channel, crisscrossed by a stream, creates intricate, ever-changing patterns. Under the sunset’s glow, the soft lines contrast warm and blue hues, breathing life into the vibrant beach—a sight too beautiful to leave. 📍Dongbi’s Enchanting Sunset Located midway in Sansha Town, 2 km from Xiaohao, Dongbi Village overlooks a harbor filled with returning fishing boats. The vista is vast and awe-inspiring, especially during seaweed farming season. The interplay of shadows, boats, and golden sunsets blends mountains, sea, people, villages, sandbars, reefs, trees, and fishing nets into a photographer’s paradise. After the view, unwind at a Gaoluo Beach homestay, savoring the sea breeze and waves. 📍Banyueli A She ethnic village nestled against the crescent-shaped Miluo Mountain, Banyueli faces the Jade Rabbit Hill to the east and the Shuangfuqiao Reservoir to the south. Dubbed the "Historic She Culture Village," it preserves rich ethnic heritage. 📍Dong'an Fish Rafts Dubbed the "Venice of the East," these vibrant floating homes form a grand aquatic community. Colorful houses and bustling boats offer a glimpse into the unique life of marine farmers. 📍Beiqí A prime spot for sunrise and sunset photography. Beiqí’s twilight—from soft glows to brilliant highlights—is breathtaking. At sunset high tide, fishing boats weaving through bamboo poles create striking scenes. During low tide, the tidal flats reveal intricate textures, with fishermen working on the "tiger-skin" shoals, adding dynamic rhythm to the landscape.

Xiapu is stunningly beautiful, but I honestly don't recommend visiting in July because...
