For a person who has lived far from the coast, “tidal flat” is unheard of, and it was only after viewing the images of Xiapu that I understood what “tidal flat” was.

In simple terms, it is the muddy land exposed by water levels after high and low tide, which is called “intertidal zone” in geomorphology.

This land is rich in aquatic resources, including mussels, scallops, clams, oysters, mud clams, razor clams, seaweeds, nori, and so on.

When the fishermen saw a lot of bamboo on the hills, they made full use of the plant. After they cut down the bamboos, they inserted them into the tidal flats; the bamboos were used for drying seaweed and sea kelp.

Little did the fishermen in Xiapu realize that their daily work in the tidal flats and the bamboo sticks inserted in the tidal flats would become a piece of art.

The scene on the tidal flats is changing endlessly.

The bamboo sticks were surreal and the tidal flats looked golden in the sunset.

When it was foggy, the scenes were like ink paintings.

Xiapu is dubbed “the most beautiful tidal flats” holds lots of truth. The photography subjects were the ever-changing tidal flats and the fishermen making a living at the sea..

Xiapu is one of the best places to enjoy seafood. If you are going to Xiapu for photography or to enjoy the seafood, either way, Xiapu can definitely meet your requirements.
