INT20 – HA PHO – SUNSET OVER THE COASTAL CITY (Nov 1st- Nov 5th/2024)

Ha Pho is located in Ningde City, northeast of Fujian Province, is one of the places with the longest coastline in Fujian and is also a holy land that concentrates the most typical alluvial landscape in China.
A “Photography” village with pre-arranged concepts just waiting for Photographers to come and capture the most beautiful frames!
The setups are meticulously done! Even the suitable standing positions are arranged for convenient composition!
Each alluvial beach in Ha Pho is surrounded by three mountains, creating beautiful natural landscapes with unique lines and colors.
The change of the tides in the four seasons along with the light and shadow of clouds on the sea, combined with the labor activities of fishermen create a special seascape that is hard to compare to anywhere else. The best time to take pictures is on the days near the 1st and 15th of the lunar month, when the tide is most suitable for taking pictures.

2. ITINERARY

 NOTE:

C = concept
!! OUR ITINERARY IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE DUE TO WEATHER AND TIDAL CONDITIONS. ALTERNATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY SPOTS ARE PLANNED.

DAY 1: CAN – WNZ – ĐONG BICH
At 3:40 PM, our tour guide and vehicle will pick you up at Wenzhou Longwan International Airport and transfer you to the hotel for check-in. (Estimated travel time: 2.5 hours).
At 4:30 PM, we will head to Dong Bich village to capture the stunning sunset. This is an excellent spot to enjoy the sunset. Additionally, the large fishing nets provide a popular photography subject. As the sun sets, Dong Bich tidal flats don a new attire. The soft yellow hue of the setting sun weaves a golden silk dress for the tidal flats, with gentle curves of small waterways and meandering sandbanks that change with the waves, some even forming an “S” shape. Furthermore, when fishermen hang their nets on the tidal flats, photographers will have a great opportunity to capture these everyday scenes and enrich their collection of Haipho culture-themed photography.
