Xiaohaicheng — Net arrays glowing under the blue dusk
Xiapu turns the tide into geometry — bamboo racks, net arrays and reflected sky that reward anyone who reads the timetable.
Our Xiapu routes are built around the tide. We shoot Beiqi at sunrise, Yantian as the seaweed is pulled at golden hour, and the glowing net arrays of Xiaohaicheng at blue hour — all timed to the daily water.
