Xiapu It is a place to see rural Chinese fishing, collecting seaweed,
farming, and coming in and going out in their boats and flat
bottomed push boats. The people are relatively poor, and even the
houses look old as from the times of the Cultural Revolution. The
farmers work their gardens on nearby hills with hand tools, and
enjoy tea and small cakes at breaks.
In addition to its tiger-striped beaches, bamboo structures and
poles, buoys and fishing vessels provide human counterpoints to
the natural beauty of this area.The bamboo poles, stone columns
and fish nets are usually put into the mudflat to dry laver, kelp and
other marine products. When the sun and sets, the tide rises and
falls occurs, all the things on the beach, including bamboo poles,
fishing boats and fishing nets can form various spectacular and
fantastic sceneries.
