Dongbi Sunset Point
东壁
Xiapu's best-known sunset spot. Fish rafts and laver poles scattered across a sheltered bay glow gold in the setting sun.
Dongbi is in Dongbi Village, Sansha Town, Xiapu. It faces a semi-enclosed bay covered with aquaculture rafts, floats and laver poles. In the evening, the sun sinks behind the hills across the bay, casting golden light over the rafts and small boats. It is the signature sunset subject of Xiapu's tidal flat photography. The village has built a viewing platform, and you can also shoot from the roadside, though most spots are free. Arrive an hour before sunset to claim a position. It's about an hour's drive from Xiapu county town, and you can stay overnight in Sansha Town to combine it with the sunrise at Sansha and Huazhu.
