ROUTE: HA PHO
Ha Pho is located in Ningde City, in the northeastern part of Fujian Province. It boasts one of the longest coastlines in the region and is renowned as a sacred destination showcasing some of the most iconic tidal flat landscapes in China. Each tidal flat in Ha Pho is surrounded on three sides by mountains, creating breathtaking natural sceneries with distinctive lines and color palettes.
The seasonal changes of tides, the light and shadows cast across the sea, and the daily activities of local fishermen all combine to form a unique marine vista unlike anywhere else. The best time for photography is around the 1st and 15th days of the lunar month, when tidal conditions are ideal.
