According to legend, during the Jiaqing period of the Ming Dynasty, on the night of the Mid Autumn Festival, the main force of the Qi family army went out to aid Fu'an and Ningde, and the Japanese pirates attempted to seize the city of Xiapu County while taking advantage of the situation. When the war was about to break out, Qi Jiguang asked the people in the rear to pull the stones, tying the ropes to the stones and pulling them on the bluestone slab, causing a loud noise and causing a crowd in the city. When the Japanese pirates arrived at the outskirts of the city, they saw the city full of lights, and the city was filled with shouts and roars of stones. They thought it was a mobilization of thousands of troops and horses, but retreated without fighting, and the city of Xiapu was saved. Afterwards, during the Mid Autumn Festival, Xiapu County carried out stone dragging activities.

Highlights of the itinerary: If you only want to see this seaside town, then one day is enough. Watching the sunrise by the beach in the morning, eating some seafood during the day, and watching the sunset and singing small songs by the beach in groups of three or two at night are equally enjoyable.

It is a semi lunar shaped beach thousands of meters long, white as jade, smooth as pearls, and delicate and charming. Gaoluo Beach Resort is located in the southeast of Xiapu County, facing the vast Pacific Ocean.

Gaoluo Beach has a wide and gentle beach, with clean sand and clear blue water, making it a rare natural seaside bathing place. Here, the beaches and islands are called out, and the scenery is magical and tempting. The small and medium-sized islands scattered on the sea surface are beautiful and breathtaking. Tourists can enjoy natural sea bathing and sunbathing, watch sunrise in the morning, listen to the sound of the waves at night, enjoy tea in the forest during the day, and also engage in volleyball, football, and kite flying activities on the beach; Or take a speedboat to gallop at sea, explore islands, observe reefs, fish, and pick up shells, which is more interesting and exciting.

Get up in the morning to take photos of mudflat and work, take photos of sunsets and fishing returns in the evening, and eat and drink with three lovers in the daytime. This is the time of Xiapu like a fairy.

To shoot the sunrise, it is necessary to hurry up early. At 4 o'clock, we set off to Huazhu to shoot the sunrise on the sea, and the fishermen also planted seaweed around this time. In the afternoon, like Kua Fu chasing the sun, Xiao Hao often takes photos of the beach under the golden glow at sunset. After passing through Xiaohao Village along County Road 981, climb up the hill along a roadside path and take photos of the magnificent sea view and Xiaohao Village under the foot on the high cliff. The first shooting point is located at a big turn on the cliff, overlooking Xiaohao Village, sandy mudflat, fishing boats and continuous mountains. The second shooting point is behind a Taoist temple on the mountaintop, providing a wide view of fishing rafts and islands.

Huazhu Village stands tall and connected by water and sky, with an endless depth of field. Close range buoy bamboo pole, mid range fish raft wooden house, and distant island sail shadow, the entire scene is in an orderly manner. Huazhu is also the best place to enjoy the panoramic view of the "Fuyao Islands", especially the most magnificent sunrise. If it happens to be a day of floating clouds and mist, the sea will be filled with steam and mist, light and soft. Fuyao Islands are looming like a mirage.

Catering: There are restaurants in Xiapu County, and there are many local specialties to taste. Accommodation: There are hotels in Xiapu County with good environment, which can be considered.

Depart at 4 am to shoot mudflat in Beiqi, stay at the shooting site halfway up the mountain early, listen to the waves patiently in the dark, and wait for the red sun to blow out. Many of Xiapu's classic blockbusters were filmed here by photographers, with ideal views and angles. When the first red cloud rose in the distant sky of the harbor, the sun slowly emerged from the clouds, and the early sun dyed the water red, shining brightly in an instant between heaven and earth. After taking a photo of the sunrise, you can see the strange and treacherous shadows of the sea pole and the brave gulls skimming over the waves near the sea. They are all the objects captured by the photographer.

Dong'an Fishing Boat has the reputation of "Venice on the Sea". It takes 10 minutes by boat from Dong'an Pier to reach the opposite Dong'an Island or Rapeseed Island for filming. This sea fishing raft, consisting of hundreds of thousands of mailboxes and hundreds of small wooden houses, is like a floating town on the sea, no less than a small community on the sea. It is the most concentrated fishing raft in Xiapu, and the scene is very spectacular.

In the afternoon, go to Dong'an to shoot a fishing village on the sea. Sea fishing villages are also a major feature of Xiapu. Fishermen place their boat houses on the sea near the shore, and the boats are connected to each other, which is extremely unique.

At 4 am, we set out to shoot the sunrise on the mudflat at Shatang. It is also a unique scene for fishermen to catch offshore seafood with special equipment. With the rise and fall of the tide, the combination of buoy bamboo pole and dreamlike sea color, sky light and cloud shadow presents the unique beauty of the sea in mudflat breeding and cage breeding. Entering the coastline of Xiapu brings us closer to China's profound and vast sea farming and colonization culture.

The east wall is surrounded by mountains and faces the sea, with a wide view, making it an ideal scenic spot for taking photos of sunsets. On the beach, there is a winding waterway through which a small stream flows, washing out a complex and ever-changing texture. The soft lines present a golden hue in the sunset, adding some vitality to the colorful beach. The photography point on the east wall can not only capture the magnificent sunset, but also capture the scene of fishermen fishing and weaving nets, and it is suspected that it is the beautiful lines of the Milky Way setting for nine days.

In the afternoon, head to the scene of sunset and laver cultivation in Dongbi. A small village on the coastline, following a winding village path and walking through a family's courtyard, one can see a beautiful bay. From a high vantage point, one can clearly see the rows of poles inserted on the sea surface, which are used for planting seaweed and kelp. In the distance, there are continuous mountains, and in the near distance, there are fishing boats drifting casually. At this point, you may find that nature is the most beautiful color palette, harvesting a full load of film and returning home, but there will still be surprises tomorrow.

Depart at 4 o'clock in the morning to go to Beidou to shoot scenes of sunrise and fishing at sea. Beidou is located at the northern end of the Xiapu Dongchong Peninsula, where you can not only see the sunrise, but also the scene of fishermen returning with loads, as well as the scenes of fishermen weaving and repairing fishing nets. The blue and clear sea is always filled with wind and waves all year round, constantly washing away the golden beach, as if playing the wonderful "Fisherman's Light Song". Paired with clouds on the horizon and drifting fishing boats, using a three-way composition through the salty air to support the clouds with waves, or using fishing boats to support the clouds, will definitely create a vivid theme film.

On the sea surface of the Shajiang River, bamboo poles line up into a large S-shaped bay, and fishing boats meander through this bay path. The beautiful lines formed by many bamboo poles inserted on the mudflat are well arranged. Every time the kelp harvest season, the bamboo poles are full of dried kelp, and fishermen are busy driving boats on the S-shaped harbor waterway. This scene constitutes a perfect picture of mudflat scenery.

There is also the famous Beidou Beach here, which is the main shooting spot for sunrise and fishermen returning from the sea. When the vast sea was still sleeping under the blue sky, the quiet beach was washed away by the sea, and in just a moment, a rose colored dawn had already penetrated the clouds. The sea god quietly lifted a red sun, and the rays of the sun shone in an instant.

In the afternoon, go to the Shajiang River to shoot the scene of mudflat harbor begging for the small sea, which is said to be the most ideal place for Xiapu to shoot mudflat. Its shooting location is on the mountain behind the Catholic Church and on the roof of the teaching building at No. 2 Middle School. So grab your camera and take more photos.
