[2025 Xiapu Stay] Travel Guide for Time Sea Hostel (Updated Jun)

The popular Xiapu homestay on the Internet, finally had the opportunity to stay for 1⃣️ night, before coming, all I saw on the Internet were pictures like the third one, Santorini style, I didn't expect that the room could be so stylish with wabi-sabi. What I like most is the floor-to-ceiling window of the room. With the cloudy Xiapu, there is an indescribable sense of tranquility. The neat and consistent seaweed poles, the mountains on the sea in the distance, and the iron boats parked on the shallows, unexpectedly form a deep ink painting. The thin mist has not yet dissipated, and the returning fishing boat is looming in the mist. At this time, the sky and the sea have no boundaries, and the returning sail seems to come from the sky and go to the sea. The scenery framed by the window will always stay in the unpredictable summer of Xiapu. 📍Xiapu Shi Jian Hai Homestay

🚗 [New Transportation Options: High-Speed Rail + Self-Driving Experience] Take a 45-minute high-speed train from Fuzhou directly to Xiapu Station. Upon arrival, we recommend renting a car to start your self-driving tour along the "East Sea No. 1 Line" (approx. CNY 300 per day). This coastal road offers stunning scenery—azure sea on the left and golden mudflats stretching out on the right, with surprises around every turn. We especially recommend rolling down the car windows when driving along the Jishi Park section. The sea breeze, carrying the scent of the fishing village, will instantly soothe your urban weariness. 🌅 [Must-Capture Scenes: Stunning Mudflat Photos] 🌿 Yangjiaxi Banyan and Maple Forest Enter the Banyan and Maple Forest at 6am. In the morning mist, sunlight penetrates the crowns of ancient banyan trees, and the scene of an old farmer leading an ox through the mist is like an ink painting. A local photography guide will hand you a smoke bomb and instruct you: "Take a burst of shots as the smoke rises!" At 7:08am, when the sunlight shines obliquely, the entire forest is bathed in Tyndall rays. Even a casual shot with your phone will look like a magazine cover. 🌇 Dongbi Village Orange Sea Head to the rooftop of the "Shi Jian Hai" guesthouse in Dongbi Village at 4pm, order a cup of white tea, and enjoy a 270° sea view all to yourself. The sunset dyes the sea surface a honey-orange color, and the fishing boats returning to port draw graceful arcs in the sparkling waves, as if you're in a movie scene. 📸 Beiqi Mudflat Sunrise By 4:30am, the mudflats are already filled with photography equipment. Follow the fishermen models wearing rubber boots deep into the mudflats. At sunrise, the golden sunlight outlines the tiger-skin patterns of the mudflats, and the silhouettes of people casting nets to fish are full of tension. Remember to wear non-slip shoes to avoid getting stuck in the mud. 🏝️ [Island Hopping Adventures: Real-Life Island Exploration] ✨ Siju Islands Secret Realm Take a 2-hour speedboat ride from Jishi Pier to Dongju Island.

Use a wide-angle lens to shoot from a low angle to easily capture photos that will get over 10,000 likes. 🏖️ Dajing Beach Secret Realm Avoid the midday sun and rent a set of beachcombing tools in the evening (CNY 20 per set) to dig for plump clams. The mottled walls of the abandoned building complex on the east side of the beach have a story to tell. A plain long dress paired with rusty iron windows makes it easy to take atmospheric photos. We recommend staying overnight at the "Ming Ye Qiu Lu" cliffside guesthouse, where the smart skylight allows you to lie down and watch the dazzling starry sky. 🦀 [Food Guide: Seafood Feast for CNY 50 per Person] 🍜 Must-Eats at Taikang Road Night Market Start exploring right at 6pm: Grandma's rice dumplings for CNY 5 have thin skins and fresh fillings, and Zheng Ji's fish balls for CNY 10 are full of elasticity.

When the infinity pool on the top floor reflects the sunset, all the guests will hold their breath in tacit agreement. The brown sugar ginger tea delivered by the butler late at night warms both the stomach and the heart. ⛺ Noah Cliffside Beauty Inn The Wabi-sabi design is paired with a panoramic terrace. Wake up to the sound of seagulls in the morning, and open the window to see the seaweed racks rising and falling with the tide, like Monet's "Impression, Sunrise." 📸 [Latest Tips for 2025] 1️⃣ Photography Equipment: Bring a telephoto lens (200mm+) and a polarizing filter 2️⃣ Tidal Patterns: Use the "Xiapu Tides" mini program to master the best shooting times 3️⃣ Chartered Car Service: CNY 500/day to hire a local guide and driver 4️⃣ Outfit Suggestions: White long dress + straw hat, with its own reflective effect 5️⃣ Avoid the Crowds: Visit Shajiang S Bay on Wednesday afternoon, and you can rent the entire place for CNY 20 When I was looking for my hat that had been blown away by the sea breeze on the cliff of the Siju Islands, I accidentally discovered wild lilies blooming in the rock crevices—perhaps this is the charm of Xiapu, always giving you unexpected romantic surprises in seemingly embarrassing moments.

🌴 Discovered this popular B&B while doing my homework, ordered a cup of cappuccino for 38 yuan, sat down to rest, took a few photos, and there were even people with big cameras coming to shoot because of its great location 🌴 The restaurant upstairs (open to the public) and the accommodation downstairs (with a private pool) offer afternoon tea until 17:30 - dinner starts officially after 17:30✨ 🌴 Around 16:30, the waiters will start notifying the afternoon tea customers, and although they are quite busy, each waiter has a very good attitude🙈 🌴 By 17:30, everyone gradually leaves consciously~ Next time, I'll avoid the peak hours and experience this B&B again!🏚

I could stay here for an entire day. Xiapu's first complex that combines a guesthouse, private hot spring pool, afternoon tea restaurant, bar, tea room, and a public welfare library (under construction) into one stunningly beautiful treasure spot with a gorgeous wabi-sabi style. The main attraction, Shi Guang Meal Collection, is spread over 2 floors with the first floor focusing on beverages. On a good day, you can come over to enjoy the sunset and have a delightful afternoon tea. The second floor is mainly for dining. Currently, they offer set meals priced at 288 yuan and 588 yuan, and you can also order some snacks à la carte. Even if you're not staying at the guesthouse, you can still come over to enjoy the afternoon tea separately~ The hot spring pool charges a fee of 168 yuan per person. Guests who are not staying at the guesthouse can also come over to soak in the private hot spring separately. Guests who do stay at the guesthouse can enjoy a discounted price for the hot spring pool. That's roughly it~ Since it's a trial operation phase, the business is still adjusting various aspects. What I've written here is just for reference. You must visit Xiapu at least once, to witness the masterpieces of nature's islands, and to stay in these beautiful guesthouses full of the essence of human life, making the trip worthwhile. Highly recommended. Shi Guang Meal Collection (Xiapu Shi Jian Sea Guesthouse) : No. 89, Dongbi Village, Sansha Town, Xiapu County, Ningde City, Fujian Province

This summer, I came to Xiapu to find a place full of art and culture. My first stop was the seaside village - Dongbi Village, a traditional Fujian fishing village nestled between mountains and sea, exactly the artistic village I had imagined. First, let's talk about how to get to Dongbi Village: Dongbi Village, Sansha Town, Xiapu County, Ningde City, Fujian Province 🚗 It is recommended to charter a car or drive there yourself, about 30 kilometers from Xiapu County. 🏨 Accommodation: If you have time, I definitely recommend staying here for a night to see the beautiful sunset and sunrise. 🦐 Recommended delicacies Dongbi Village also has many Xiapu specialty dishes, such as octopus, cold sea cucumber, vermicelli paste, fried mud snails, scallion oil crushed snail fried rice noodles, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, oyster pancake, etc., all worth trying. Oh, and my favorite is the seafood fried vermicelli. Where are some good places to take photos: ✅ Dongbi Bridge Pier: This is a great place to capture the sunset ✅ Dongbi Village County Road 981: There's a fork in the road here that leads down to the sea, forming a U-shape, with the sea at the end of the turn ✅ Yiqi Yisu Terrace: This is a terrace facing the sea, with an arch on the terrace that is especially photogenic ✅ Shijian Seaside Homestay: Personally, I think it's the most beautiful homestay in Dongbi Village, especially the pool that resembles the one in Santorini, Greece, which is a pleasant surprise. ✅ Dongbi Village Stone Slope Road There's a stone slope road in the village that connects the roads at the bottom and top of the mountain ✅ Other locations: Shiguang Dining Collection has large floor-to-ceiling windows with a great view; the Viewing Trail is a coastal trail between the mountains and the sea; 🌈 Warm tips: Be sure to choose good weather for your visit to Dongbi Village, so you can capture the stunning seaside scenery with blue skies and sea.

There is a large sea-view terrace between the Chinese and Western restaurants, where you can sit and eat while enjoying the beautiful sunset when the weather is good. We chose the Chinese restaurant and had a great time dining on the terrace while admiring the stunning sunset. The food at the Chinese restaurant was surprisingly delicious, much better than some popular online restaurants, and not expensive either. Four of us ordered five dishes for 260 yuan. In the evening, we returned to the B&B, where the staff had already prepared sweet soup and pastries. Having a bowl of sweet soup with the local specialty tea cakes was simply fantastic. The B&B also has its own gift shop, which is a delightful store selling local specialties and souvenirs with exquisite packaging. They are not the overly commercialized kind of gifts. There are fridge magnets unique to Shi Jian Hai, as well as oyster-scented candles, which I really liked. I didn't want to leave the B&B; I highly recommend this place. If you're planning to visit Xiapu, Shi Jian Hai should be your first choice. You definitely won't be disappointed, yyds!
