Explosion! The Underrated "Pinnacle of Mountains and Sea" in the Travel Circle!

📆 Itinerary Day 1: In-Depth Fishing Village Experience • Morning: Check into a homestay upon arrival → Stroll along the coastal walkway → Visit cliff carvings. • Afternoon: Tidal flat foraging experience → Observe fishermen's daily life → Photography at the marine ranch. • Evening: Sunset viewing at the lookout platform (arrive before 17:30). Day 2: Nearby Exploration • Early morning: Watch the sunrise at Gaoluo Beach (depart by 5:30). • Morning: Photography at Sansha Light and Shadow Boardwalk → Visit Liuyun Cave historic site. • Afternoon: Photo stop at Haiwei Cape White Castle → Return trip. 🌅 Highlights • Sunset spectacle: Best viewing spots are on the sea bridge or ocean-view platform, where golden sunlight creates a "painting-like tidal flat." • Slow-paced fishing village life: Walk the coastal path and admire the blend of stone houses with mountain and sea vistas. Watch fishermen weaving nets at dawn. • Photographer's paradise: Tidal flat light play, marine ranches, and cliffside homestays offer perfect shooting material—every shot is postcard-worthy. 🚗 Transportation Guide • Self-drive: From Xiapu County, head toward Sansha Town (~28 km, 30-minute drive) with scenic coastal views en route. • Public transit: Take a bus from Xiapu Railway Station to Sansha Town (~every 30 mins, ¥15 fare), then a 10-minute taxi ride to the village. • Local transport: Walk or rent an e-bike (¥50/day) to navigate ancient alleys and coastline easily. 🏡 Accommodation Picks • Seaside homestays: "One Stay One Habitat" (viral cliffside B&B) and "Halfway Up the Mountain" (5-minute walk to Light and Shadow Boardwalk)—book 1-2 months ahead for peak season. • Budget options: Sansha Town offers more affordable stays (~¥30-80 round-trip taxi fare). 🍽 Food Guide • Must-tries: Xiapu seafood (try Four Seasons Cloud Wild Mushroom Hotpot) + Mindong specialties (fish noodles, oyster omelets). • Dining spots: Village seafood stalls (~¥80-120/person); more choices and better prices in Sansha Town. • Café time: Multiple ocean-view cafés with prime seating—arrive 1 hour before sunset for best spots. 💡 Pro Tips 1⃣ Best seasons: April-June (seaweed harvest) & Sept-Nov (autumn colors); July-August requires sun/typhoon precautions. 2️⃣ Attire: Non-slip shoes (wet tidal flats), bright colors (photogenic), plus a jacket (coastal temperature swings). 3️⃣ Photo gear: Wide-angle for panoramas, telephoto for fishing scenes, and a tripod for sunset shots. 4⃣ Heads-up: Check tide tables for marine ranch photography—tides vary drastically. Dongbi Village is an artsy fishing hub with unique seascapes and diverse activities, perfect for photography lovers and those seeking authentic coastal life.
