While Xiamen's coastline is overrun with tourists, Ningde retains its untamed wildness—reef islands carved over eons resemble alien ruins, vast meadows hover above the East China Sea, mudflats dance with light and shadow, and clifftop castles face the surging waves...

At sunrise, fishermen's bamboo rafts cut through the morning mist, gilding the tiger-striped mudflats with a golden edge (book your flight one hour in advance to reserve a spot); Dongbi Village: The internet-famous sunset viewing path, where the orange glow bathes fishing boats and seaweed racks, is a breathtaking sight just outside the window of the "Shijianhai" B&B; Xiawei Island Sea Cave: Hike into the cave at low tide (water level <1.5 meters), where light filtering through the rock crevices resembles a crystal palace in a dragon's palace; 2.

Signals are weak on the Silu Islands and Taishan Island; Bring a thick jacket for sunrise photography in Beiqi; the sea breeze is so cold it's almost unbelievable. Ningde's beauty lies in its untamed wildness—the apocalyptic romance of Umbrella Reef on Taishan Island, the Tyndall light piercing the clouds at sunrise over Huazhu Village, the ageless gaze between an old farmer and his cow beneath an ancient banyan tree... There are no elaborate photo ops here, only the raw awe of the mountains and sea. When the morning light ignites the fishing nets on the mudflats, when the meadows ripple like waves in the salty breeze—I finally understand that Fujian has hidden half of its ethereal beauty in Ningde. Let's go, and entrust our souls to this corner of the sea! 🌊✨

Choose popular "Shijianhai" restaurants in Dongbi District for stunning views from the window. ✅ Transportation Tips: → Take the high-speed rail to Ningde Station. Sharing a ride to Xiapu attractions is the most economical option (50 yuan per person per day). → Book your ferry ticket to Yushan Island three days in advance through "Yushan Island Tours" and choose the Tianhu Scenic Area ferry. ✅ Tips to Avoid: → Check the tide chart for mudflat photography (optimally, two hours before and after low tide). → Order and bid on seafood stalls; Xiapu stalls often use "market pricing" tricks.

Seafood Assassin: Xiapu Fatty and Fatty! Eat crispy salt and pepper shrimp in their shells, steamed yellow croaker with garlic and soy sauce, and clearly marked prices to avoid rip-offs. Sweet and savory: Nanmendou sweet potato cups are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, while Zherong beef balls are juicy and chewy. Spend the night for 5 yuan on the street. 🚢 Lazy Man's Itinerary Day 1: Sweaty cultivation at Taimu Mountain → Dinner on the fishing raft at Sandu'ao → Overnight at Dongbi Village in Xiapu (watch the sunset from the window); Day 2: Photograph the sunrise on the Beiqi mudflats → Go fishing with Xiaohao → Have fun on the meadows of Yushan Island → Camp and stargaze; Day 3: Play in Baishuiyang → Eat at Nanmendou → Grab two packs of Fuding white tea on the way back. 💡 Tips from a Veteran ✅ Staying in Dongbi Village, Xiapu District, or Ningde City: B&Bs cost 150 yuan per person. Choose popular "Shijianhai" restaurants in Dongbi District for stunning views from the window. ✅ Transportation Tips: → Take the high-speed rail to Ningde Station. Sharing a ride to Xiapu attractions is the most economical option (50 yuan per person per day). → Book your ferry ticket to Yushan Island three days in advance through "Yushan Island Tours" and choose the Tianhu Scenic Area ferry. ✅ Tips to Avoid: → Check the tide chart for mudflat photography (optimally, two hours before and after low tide). → Order and bid on seafood stalls; Xiapu stalls often use "market pricing" tricks.
