Xiapu Beach Photography Beidou

It's colorful here. It's colorful here. I'm not tired of watching it here.

Where is this? This is Xiapu.

In this life, it is important for people to jump out of their tired places from time to time, see the outside world and breathe the air of another land. Pack your bags, and you will have many destinations that you must visit in this life: Lijiang, Dali, Tibet, Xinjiang, Xiamen, Sanya, Huangshan and Taiwan Province Province. ...

But Xiapu is a color you can't miss in your life. Colorful under the light and shadow, the beauty here is inexhaustible.

Although some beautiful scenery is close to us, maybe we will never go there in our life. Not because the road is rugged and dangerous, but because the popularity of the masses blinds you to see more clearly.

Have you ever yearned for the colorful beaches on the stripes of tiger skin? Have you ever yearned for the rainbow beach in favorable and unfavorable light? Have you ever yearned for a colorful beach as bright as the sunset? Have a beautiful curve that yearns for S Bay fish steak? There are also eight-foot fences in the ink world? ……

In Xiapu, you can enjoy what you have heard, what you yearn for and what you are not familiar with. The summer heat began in May, and Xiapu Beach, even if it is squeezed into a meat pie, can't miss a stop. It is really beautiful here.

Tidal flat? Beaches are everywhere. If you only think it's an area where mud accumulates, maybe there is a fish pond in front of my hometown in the countryside. That would be too hasty.

What is a tidal flat? Beach is the general name of beach, river beach and lake beach, which refers to the intertidal zone between high tide level and low tide level of coastal spring tide, the beach between normal water level and flood level of rivers and lakes, the beach below seasonal water level of lakes and rivers, and the beach area between normal water level and maximum flood level of reservoirs and pits. Geomorphology calls it "intertidal zone". Due to the action of tides, beaches are sometimes submerged, sometimes exposed to the water, the upper part is often exposed to the water, and the lower part is often submerged.

Because it is only tidal action, it is submerged by seawater for a while and exposed to the water for a while. Why is Xiapu Beach so beautiful? It is the movement of the tide day after day, and the seawater is constantly washed away, leaving criss-crossing gullies and traces on the seaside. In recent years, Xiapu has made great efforts to develop offshore beach culture, and numerous fishing rafts, fishing boats, fishing net buoys and bamboo poles have appeared. With the ebb and flow of the tide, the scenery on the beach is changing with endless TINT against the background of light and shadow. Gold, multicolored, blue, with ink implication, dotted with 404 kilometers of coastline.

Xiapu is the most beautiful beach and photography shrine in China. In addition, Xiapu is also the "hometown of kelp in China" and "hometown of laver in China".

There are many places to shoot in Xiapu. Different seasons and different places have different themes. But in a word, Xiapu has four classic photography lines: East Line, West Line, North Line and South Line, and the South Line can be divided into two lines.

1. East:

Beibei, Gulingxia, Xiaohao, Dongbi, Sansha Fishing Port, Zhu Hua and Dayu Mountain Island in Sansha Town.

Northern Qi Dynasty (550-577)

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on the vast beach in the north, all the beautiful scenery is panoramic. The tiger-skin-like stripes on the beach and the shadows and figures all over the beach make photographers linger. Beiqi Village is a laver farm, with laver racks and boats scattered on the beach and sea. At high tide, busy ships at sea shuttle between floating poles (laver racks) and blend with the sea, distant mountains and islands. At low tide, the texture of the beach becomes more and more beautiful, and the sun shines on the tiger-skin-like beach markings, reflecting colorful light; Working fishermen swim on the tiger skin beach, adding more sense of movement and rhythm to the colorful beach.

Shooting object: sunrise, tiger skin beach, seaweed field, circular bend.

The best shooting location: next to the beach behind the village, walking up from Panshan Road, facing the big bend of the beach.

Xiao Hao

Xiaohao Beach is one of the must-see attractions, Xiapu Beach is one of the most classic shooting places, and the beach is beautiful. The high-quality beach is Xiao Hao's main attraction. Shooting along the light, the golden beach is constantly changing with the waves; Backlight shooting, the stream flowing down from the beach, like the vein of the beach, twists and turns, shining with silver light. Xiaohao is rich in all kinds of offshore culture, and the seasonal operation is mainly laver and fry. As long as there is light, this is an ever-changing creative base. Xiaohao's tide is S-shaped, which is in harmony with the texture of the beach and connected with the running water of the stream. At sunset, watching the waves lapping on the beach, watching fishermen coming and going on the beach, and watching the sparkling water, what is more worthy of photographers' lingering? ......

Best shooting point:

Flower bamboo is the best place to enjoy the panoramic view of Fuyao Islands, especially the sunrise is the most magnificent. Under the scattered light, the unpredictable colors present a magnificent landscape in which man and nature live in harmony. If it coincides with the day when the clouds are floating, the sea is steaming and foggy, light and soft. Fuyao Islands are as charming as a mirage. As far as I can see, it is one of the ten most beautiful islands in China: Dayushan Island. Dayushan Island is the main island of Fuyao Islands. Guzhen Peninsula, Fenghuo Island, Xiaoyushan Island and many island reefs are adjacent to this blue sea area, which can be called "the fairy capital of the sea".

Yantian (boathouse)

Yantian Town is the largest concentration area of boat people in Fujian Province. There are nearly 7000 boat people at home. They live by fishing and collecting shells. A boat is a family, living a hard life of drifting at sea, so it is called "gypsy at sea". It truly shows the style of China fisherman, simple, hardworking and intelligent.

Qidu beach

According to netizens, after driving 50 kilometers from Xiapu Expressway to Ningde, take the exit from zhang wan Expressway and shoot on the mountain after driving about 9 kilometers in Liudu. There are no bamboo poles on the beach here, but it has a tough appearance different from other beaches. The dam where fishermen planted razor clams on the beach formed rough and powerful lines, which inadvertently formed a strange sea spectacle.

At high tide, various small animals such as clams, clams, snails, shrimps and crabs will be washed into the ridge with the tide; When the tide ebbs, these lines hidden on the seabed like fans are displayed. These criss-crossing ridges are a maze of small animals-they can't find a way out with the tide, so they can only get stuck in it. At this time, the fisherman stood on the "mud cow" made of wood and shuttled freely, bowed his head leisurely and put his prey into the fish basket. Where the "mud cow" passes by, it will leave obvious scratches, and when Qian Fan passes by, these interlaced traces will shine in the sun, showing an ingenious pattern.

Eight-foot gate fence (memory that Xiapu is about to disappear)

The fence of Baguamen is not in Baguamen, but in jiangbiancun, fuding city. Only the irregular circular purse seine can be seen along the road from Xiapu to Fuding in Shenhai Expressway. So the photographer called it an "eight-foot fence". This water area covered by purse seine has distinct layers and vivid light and shadow when the light shines obliquely. Rainy weather can also make some films with big contrast and blank lines, which is similar to the feeling of China ink painting, and has been favored by photographers in recent years. The eight-foot gate fence is a newly discovered photography spot for photographers. This purse seine built on the beach is said to be used to raise crabs. However, this photography spot will not exist for long. There will be an expressway here in the near future. Soon, the eight-foot gate fence will soon disappear, leaving us photographers with only a sigh!

Note: 3~5 days is the best time to take photos in Xiapu. The main highlight of the trip to Xiapu in May 1 Day is the scene of local fishermen working, collecting kelp and fishing in the sea, so the southern line of Xiapu in May 1 Day is the focus.
