Sansha Town & Huazhu Sunrise
三沙镇·花竹日出
A fishing port town in northeast Xiapu, where Huazhu Village on the hillside overlooks islands and bays. It is a classic spot for sunrise photography over the sea.
Sansha Town lies in the northeast of Xiapu and is an important fishing port on the east coast of Fujian. Its harbour is full of fishing boats, and the town is known as the "Town of Light and Shadow", with many guesthouses and photography inns. To the east, Huazhu Village sits on a hillside facing the sea. From the viewing platform you can see the islands and fish farms in the bay. When the sun rises from the sea, the play of light and shadow is rich, making it the signature sunrise spot in Xiapu. It is also used for star and coastline photography. The Huazhu viewing platform is free. It is best to stay in Sansha the night before and arrive 40 minutes before sunrise. The sunrise here and the Dongbi sunset can be scheduled for the same day.
