Fujian Weijing: Tidal Flats with Golden Sands

Weijiang Village, where has vast land of tidal flats, is located over 30 kilometers away of Xiapu County, Ningde City, China’s southeast Fujian Province. It is a perfect shooting point for kelp cultivation, little fishing boats, sunrise and sunset. Weijiang is nicknamed “Bun Mountain” because there is a rocky islet humping up on the sea, which is look like a steamed bun looking from a far distance, hence the vivid name “Bun Mountain”. With seawater surrounding around and tidewater moistening, it is more like northern China’s Wowotou(a kind of steamed corn bread). When tide ebbs, the tidal flats surrounds it, which looks like a brim of a hat, therefore, it is also called “Top Hat Mount”.

Bun mount in Weijiang Village is an important destination of this journey. Careful companions found that there are no lodgings. So we have to play it by ear, hoping that we can live in local houses to know more about the fishermen’s life. However, after arrival in the afternoon, many families don’t provide accommodation. So we had to go to Xi’nan Town which is 30 kilometers away of Weijiang, and came back to Weijiang the next morning.

No more words and just see the pictures!
