It is the real Xiamen Port in the hearts of old Xiamen people. The name comes from the fact that it is the end of a long beach and sand from all over will flow here.
The fishing boats “go out in the morning and come back in the evening, carrying large loads of catch from the north and south, and return in a line when the wind is strong.” The aroma of seafood wafting through the streets is a childhood memory for many Xiamen residents.
Tradition on the left hand and fashion on the right hand are the distinct characteristics of Shapowei, where the old culture and new ideas collide to create fierce sparks.

Shapowei, once an ordinary little beach and a shelter, has now become one of the must-visit places for most people to visit Xiamen. It used to be a small fishing village, but now it has gradually become commercialized. I like the creative block inside, which has many literary milk tea shops and small jewelry stores.
What attracted me most was the small path along the Shapowei Water. There are also many literary shops along the way. It is quite romantic to sit in it, order a cup of coffee, and buy some cultural and creative souvenirs.
Not far away you can see Xiamen's landmark buildings, the Twin Towers, and the streets and alleys with a literary atmosphere. The night view is very good.
Recommend a B&B near Shapowei——Xiamen HiAir B&B
First of all, the location is very good. You can walk to Zengcuoan bus station for 500 meters. There are snack streets around it, so eating and transportation are very convenient!
The security is quite high. On the day of check-in, the clerk thoughtfully prepared toiletries and explained a lot of precautions, which made people feel safe.
Most of the rooms have king-size beds, but there are also twin rooms that can accommodate 4 people, making them very suitable for family travel.
The address of the B&B: No. 557, Zengcuo'an Community, Siming District, Xiamen
Shapoweili is quite close to the Xicun gate of Xiamen University, and it only takes ten minutes to walk there.
We arrived at Shapowei before 8 o'clock in the morning. It was deserted and the shops were not open yet. It was perfect for making some embarrassing/stupid/affected poses!
The shops started to open around ten o'clock. I heard that Shapowei is super lively at night!
But in fact, there is an awning in front of every store, which will block some of the light. At this time, post-production is still very important!
In fact, we only shot a part of Shapowei. Please give me another day. [Groundhog screams] It’s so good to shoot!
There are also places to eat.
Shapowei is the origin of Xiamen Port and has been used as a shelter since the Qing Dynasty. Shapowei is one of the seven communities under the jurisdiction of Xiagang Street, adjacent to Nanputuo Temple and Xiamen University. The name Shapowei comes from the fact that it is the end of a long stretch of beach, and sand from all over will flow here. In the early days, Xiamen Port was an arc-shaped bay. The bay in this area was crescent-shaped, and the golden beach was connected into one piece, so it was called "Yushapo". I like the bougainvillea here. There are also RVs! In this section, we mainly rode. Before setting off, I read the travel notes of experts and was attracted by Shapowei. Not far away, there is also a museum. We followed the navigation and passed this museum from Shapowei to Huandao Road.
The name Shapowei sounds very loud and artistic, but when I actually went there, I felt a little disappointed. Before I went there, I thought of "798", but when I actually went there, I found it was very small.
It was daytime when we went there, and Shapowei was no longer bustling and prosperous, but only lazy and depressed.
Walking on the streets of Shapowei, it feels like you have walked from one end to the other very quickly.
Shapowei is a shelter in Xiamen, where you can see the "past" and "present" of Xiamen. I admit that it is no longer as primitive as imagined, with many art shops and the legendary stone road turned into a wooden boardwalk. However, I think you should not set too high standards when traveling, just walk around and relax.
The night view of Shapowei is pretty good! You can also go to the top of the Twin Towers to see the whole Xiamen, which should be nice too!
Many people told me that if you like Xiamen's fresh style, you must go to Shapowei. At first, I didn't know what Shapowei meant. But later I realized that only when you really come to this place, you can really understand what Shapowei is. This place cannot be described in words.
In the eyes of many old Xiamen people, Shapowei is a small port in their childhood. Although this port is not often used now, and there are no more fishing boats docked on the shore, there are now a variety of coffee shops, western restaurants, and milk tea shops here. It is a veritable Internet celebrity street. As long as you can find the Internet celebrity store guide on the Internet, you will definitely find this store here.
Sitting by the harbor of Shapowei, watching the sunrise and sunset and the sparkling water, there is an indescribable poetic feeling that emerges in my mind. Whether you want to come here to take very chic photos like those of internet celebrities, or come here to sit quietly and listen to music and chat with friends, Shapowei can satisfy you.
Every time I walk here, I feel like I'm on the road to many university towns. It is indeed because this place is very close to Xiamen University and can be reached on foot, so many students will come here to date, eat, etc. after class or school.
You can reach the waterside by walking through the alley. Although it is called the waterside, I don't know whether it is the seaside or the lakeside. Let's call it the seaside, after all, the water flowing into Xiamen is seawater.
Here you can sit quietly, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, and watch the afterglow of the sunset. The whole world is quiet and beautiful.
Address: Shapowei, Siming District, Xiamen
Recommended time: half a day
transportation
Public transportation: Take bus No. 86, No. 112 during peak hours, etc. to get off at the Fermentation Factory Station and walk about 220 meters to the station.
The last stop of Xiamen trip
It takes about half an hour to walk from Cat Street.
I heard that this place, like Zengcuo'an, used to be a simple fishing village.
Now it is developing quite well and has the feeling of a Thai town.
There are many bars and various literary shops around the river.
Shapowei is also the best place to see the Xiamen Twin Towers.
I think the night view is also beautiful
Come here with friends at dusk
Walk slowly and feel the local artistic atmosphere.
It is also a very enjoyable thing
Finally, I would like to thank the Three Xiamen University B&B where I stayed during my trip to Xiamen.
The service and environment are really great
I just want to stay and don't want to leave
Shapowei used to be a small fishing port. It was named because it was the end of a long beach and sand from all over the country would flow here. Shapowei is my favorite old street in Xiamen. I stayed in Shapowei on my last day. Now Shapowei has the old streets of old Xiamen on one side and literary and fresh shops on the other side. Some small shops are very low-key and hidden in the alleys of Shapowei.
Climb up to the rooftop of the Art West District and you can see the entire Shapowei.
This is another art district that has emerged in recent years. It should be a transformation of an old dock. As a latecomer, it is indeed more interesting than Zengcuo'an. There are many beautiful shops in the area, and there are more and more fashionable men and women. The Shimao Building that has sprung up next to the old community is also a strong contrast.
Coming here is like stepping into the leisure back garden of college students. It is full of romance, and the light of love can be seen everywhere. Don't forget that Shapowei is a well-known wedding photo shooting location! Here, we can send our most sincere blessings to the newlyweds. Immersed in this romance and feeling the power of love, people can't help but yearn and look forward to it. Let's sprinkle warm blessings for love in this dreamy city together!
Next to Shimao Straits Building is Shapowei. Shapowei means the end of a long stretch of beach. It was originally a gathering place for local fishermen to take shelter and rest. After being closed and renovated, it is no longer used as a berth for fishing boats. It has now become a market attraction.
Shapowei is a microcosm of the life of old Xiamen fishermen, retaining the original appearance of Xiamen. Here you can touch the old times of Xiamen while feeling the collision of new trends and art, and the fusion of fresh literature and retro nostalgic elements. Old bookstores, old museums, cafes, daily necessities stores and the Art West District have repainted the mottled and faded fishing alleys with fresh and vivid colors.
【Location】
Climb up from Xiamen Cat Street to the end, and then head towards the Xiamen World Trade Twin Towers to reach Shapowei. It is actually a small street full of various literary shops. The style is the same as Beijing 798 and Chengdu Dongjiao Memory. It is a must-visit place for literary and fresh check-in.
After entering the Shapowei area, you can quickly see a small courtyard on the left. The walls on both sides are covered with graffiti, which is very interesting. Many young people are also taking pictures here.
Going further ahead is a building with various small shops inside.
Shapowei and the Botanical Garden are my two favorite places in Xiamen. Xiamen is not big, and there are many attractions concentrated, so I took my niece to Shapowei again the next day. It is literary and you can check in. There are too many photo spots. There are queues for photos at several places, and some people go there to take wedding photos. I ate what I think is the best puff in my life. The name of the store is Green Train Puff. There is also one in Gulangyu. I couldn't help but eat it again in Gulangyu. Their new rose grapefruit tea is also very delicious. It is red, but I forgot the specific name.
Maybe I don't have the eyes to discover beauty. It's a very small street and there is basically no art to speak of. The shops on the first floor are just slightly decorated.
I went there at around 3pm. The street was quite popular. There was a newlywed couple taking artistic photos. In fact, the scene was like this. Maybe their photos will show another "beautiful view".
There were many young hipsters sitting and taking a rest in the shops on the first floor. In fact, I was very curious because the odor from the small pond next to it was really bad. It drifted as far as the wind wanted, but there were still so many people taking selfies. I totally underestimated their fighting power🙄🙄
Finally, I want to point out that although it is on the must-visit list, it is actually just that, and in many cases, it is not worthy of its reputation. The same situation is also the Art West District next door
Shapowei is one of the seven communities under the jurisdiction of Xiagang Street. Its name comes from the fact that it is the end of a long stretch of beach, and sand from all over the place will flow here. It has its own rhythm, it has its own literary style, and it has its own old Xiamen flavor. The walls are full of graffiti, and there are all kinds of literary shops. In the streets full of surprises, you can experience the beauty of the conflict between the new and the old. Shapowei and the Art West District are connected together. You can spend half a day strolling around. It is highly recommended for mothers who like taking pictures (especially on the first day of the trip when everyone is in the best condition)...
Shapowei Shelter is the earliest port in Xiamen, a port where people, fishermen and goods mixed together. In the Qing Dynasty, people went to Taiwan from here, and before leaving, they usually worshipped Mazu at Chaozong Palace. It is said that Lu Xun also left from here when he left Xiamen University for Guangzhou. It is a place with stories. History has turned a page. In recent years, it was first a gathering place for young artists, then a large number of cafes and restaurants, and now it is crowded with tourists.
Today we are going to talk about the pork knuckle, Dangdang Spicy👉👉The Seafood Stall at the Theater Dock! It is located next to the landmark Chaozong Palace in the Shelter Dock, facing the theater. During the festivals of the gods, there are opera performances and banquets here, which is very lively. People who believe in Feng Shui will definitely give it a thumbs up.
The owner's ancestors were also fishermen. In recent years, they have opened a seafood stall. After the new owner took over, it was upgraded to the current Instagram style. The environment of this two-story building (the third floor rooftop is not open) is more comfortable and pleasing to the eye. Especially sitting on the second floor balcony, you look at the colorful scenery, and you are also the scenery of others🌴
In terms of dishes, the roasted pigeon that the chef of the star-rated hotel is best at was once a favorite among old Xiamen people. It is 38 yuan per pigeon here, a very fair price. The live pigeons in the vegetable market cost 25-30 yuan. The key is that his pigeons are soaked in some marinade and spices, and the taste is refreshing 😇
In addition to the authentic Xiamen traditional methods of cooking seafood: soy sauce water (that is, braised) and steamed, curry, boiled (spicy), etc. After personal testing, I recommend braised abalone and earthworm jelly. The others are actually mostly good, and the taste is mostly above the average, and there are basically no thunder.
Oh yes, if the shrimp salad is bigger and has some watermelon, and is served colder, it will be more refreshing in the summer.
The artistic market and various artistic sculptures are very suitable for taking photos and checking in.
There are many beautiful sights in Xiamen city that do not require tickets and are nature's selfless gift waiting to be discovered. Wait for a sunset at Shapowei!
Fortunately, there are many popular online stores. The milk tea in the first store is delicious... Photos taken nearby
A small fishing village hidden in the city, with the sun setting, the lights coming on, the busy stage, and the lively bars. It is a unique experience.
Xiamen Island is a relatively sparsely populated place with old style and new atmosphere
Xiamen is a place worth visiting. The snacks and beautiful scenery will make you linger.
There are delicious foods and surprises everywhere. There is no need to look for small shops, delicious foods, scenery, coffee shops, and pubs deliberately. Just walk around and you will find them everywhere!
Shapowei is the origin of Xiamen Port and has been used as a shelter since the Qing Dynasty. It used to be full of large and small fishing boats, but after renovation, only a few small boats remain.
I heard that Shapowei was once a safe haven for a small fishing village, so when you walk on the streets, you can occasionally smell the fishy smell of sea water.
Today's Shapowei has been transformed into a cultural, creative and food district.
Most of the buildings in Shapowei were originally 2-3-storey private houses. After being designed and renovated, many shops look very nice and are very suitable for taking pictures.
I have lived in Xiamen for almost 8 years. This is the first time I have visited Shapowei seriously. I think it is a paradise for photography enthusiasts. It is not too much to spend a whole day here. The combination of the new and old districts really makes it more interesting!
Shapowei is a pretty good place, you must visit it if you have time.
Shapowei is a literary and artistic district with many cute shops and stalls.
However, this place is not really suitable for the elderly, so I quickly bought a pair of earrings and left.
Shapowei at night is a different feeling. There are many fishing enthusiasts on the riverside, and the twin towers look particularly charming.
This is mainly an art street, similar to Chengdu's East District Music Park, with video games, delicious food, and old-style buildings. In fact, you can finish visiting the whole place in about an hour.
Not far from the school, we slowly arrived at Shapowei. Rusty fishing boats, irregular residential buildings, and pedestrians on the stone road on the shore made it seem as if time had stopped...
Xiamen’s old fishing boat shelter has many internet-famous delicacies on the street and an exhibition hall.
The area around Shapowei was originally a fishing village, but now it has evolved into a gathering place for Internet celebrity shops. In the eyes of many people, it is more famous than Zengcuo'an. There are many coffee shops, desserts, light meals, and hotels around, each with its own characteristics, making it a good place for taking photos.
The combination of the old street and the art district/a gathering place for literary young people, most of the shops are Instagram-style📷It is said that it is more lively at night.
It was my first time to go to Shapowei. At first I thought it would be a place with a strong cultural atmosphere. But where was the culture? I only saw people... It felt like visiting the East Suburb Memories in Chengdu. I will never go there again, but fortunately the photos I took were still beautiful.
The location is not easy to find. It is a small port, a bit like a smaller version of Kaohsiung Port.
The whole Shapowei is under renovation, so it's very messy. They are repairing the building facades and roads, so there's really nothing to see here at this time. If it's renovated and reorganized, it might still be a good commercial street.
The old houses in Shapowei, which are by the river? Or is it the river?, are so beautiful in photos... Although they are old and small, they are well-arranged. Looking at them from the opposite side gives you a healing feeling~
The old alleys in Shapowei are actually inhabited by people. I guess most of them are individuals doing business or fishermen along the way? Anyway, these messy and disorderly wires and cables are really amazing.
Please enjoy this time quietly and leave the past time here. It is also good to make the nostalgia to the extreme. Why change its beauty?
It must be beautiful at sunset and high tide in the afternoon. I went there once and happened to see the beautiful Shapowei. I personally think it is the best scenic spot developed in Xiamen in recent years.
It is said that it used to be a small fishing village, and then it gradually developed into what it is now. There is a pier inside, and some literary shops are around. It only takes half an hour to an hour to see the whole place. Many people take travel photos here.
I walked around Shapowei in the morning. Looking at the streets, I felt like I was in Taiwan. There were not many people, the shops were also very leisurely, and the slow-paced atmosphere permeated everyone. Women and men are really two completely different creatures. I would never go shopping aimlessly when traveling, but she likes it...
Shapowei is a new internet celebrity check-in spot in Xiamen. The number of people is increasing day by day, and there is a fresh atmosphere there. And there you can enjoy the charm of Xiamen's new landmark, the Shimao Straits Twin Towers. Shapowei is not far from Nanputuo, and the most convenient way is to ride a bicycle.
There are all kinds of shops inside, but what attracted me were the boats, the sky, the small beach, and the sunset! I like the tranquility in the hustle and bustle!
The shops around Shapowei are very artistic, with beautiful decorations and suitable for taking photos. Some milk tea shops and bars also have a good atmosphere, suitable for friends to sit and chat together. It is super nice here, especially in the summer nights. Opposite is the Art West District, a popular check-in spot, and there are also some very artistic shops to visit.
Shapowei is very close to the university town. It is an art district and a check-in place for many Internet celebrity delicacies. Many designs are very interesting, and there are many great shops. It is a combination of art and creativity.
There are many delicious restaurants in Shapowei.
Xiamen, if you still stay at Xiamen University, Zengcuo'an, Gulangyu and other traditional tourist attractions, you are out! Shapowei is definitely a place where you can enjoy the sea breeze, eat delicious food, visit small shops and buy beautiful things. Shapowei is divided into Shapowei Art West District and Shapowei
We went at a bad time, and many shops were closed. But it was still a good place to take photos.
It’s just a small long street with many places suitable for taking photos. Any photo you take will give you a literary and fresh feeling!
My phone ran out of battery, so I didn't take any pictures. It should be fun at night.
Shapowei is the real Xiamen Port in the hearts of old Xiamen people
The name comes from the fact that this is the end of a long stretch of beach.
And the sand from everywhere will flow here
The fishing boats along the coast "go out in the morning and return in the evening, fishing in large quantities from north to south, and returning in a line when the wind is strong"
The aroma of seafood wafting through the streets is a childhood memory for many Xiamen natives.
Tradition on the left hand and fashion on the right hand, that is the distinctive personality of Shapowei
Here, you can go to Shelter Street to drink tea and coffee
You can go to the Art West District to experience the new wave of literature and art in the old fishing port
Old culture and new ideas collide here to create fierce sparks
Young, fashionable, creative, artistic, it's hard not to fall in love with this place
As a literary youth, of course I won't miss this place~~
Market streets, creative shops
There are many studios appearing in this cultural gathering place
Not only can you take photos, but there are also many snacks to try.
It might be a little early when we arrived at Shapowei, and some shops are not open until the evening. I think it will be very beautiful here at night, but it is also very artistic during the day. Many girls hired travel photographers to take photos here. It is a very fresh place, very suitable for taking photos and some fresh wedding photos. It would be great if we could come here to take photos when we get married. Every scenic spot in Xiamen is suitable for taking wedding photos.
It's nice to go shopping at night. The night view is beautiful. There are many small shops and bars. There are not many people on weekdays. It's very relaxing to walk around.
A place where tradition meets fashion, various art shops are good elements for taking photos. It is also a place developed in recent years. Shapowei feels much fresher and more elegant than Zengcuoan. Maybe we came early and there were not many tourists, or maybe it was Monday morning for the same reason. It makes people feel comfortable and elegant here. It is also a place where people want to stay and walk around. There are several good shops.
#Literary place Shabowei#
Shapowei is also known as "Yushapo". The early Xiamen Port was an arc-shaped bay. The bay in this area was crescent-shaped, with golden beaches connected together.
Shapowei has incorporated a lot of art and culture, attracting a large number of young people with ideas and creativity to start businesses here. The Shapowei market includes three categories: food market, design and handmade market, and drunkard market. The forms of development include monthly theme market, weekend market, literary night market, etc.
The arcades full of retro atmosphere and the small shops with literary and fresh style are undoubtedly a holy place for travel photography. You can also taste delicious food while walking and strolling. The most impressive one is Dear Burger. Order a burger and a drink, and the hard work of the journey will be swept away immediately.
Since Shapowei was undergoing renovation at the time, there are not many photos left. It is definitely much better to go there now than it was then.
Shapowei is near Xiamen University, and there are a lot of people. I took a quick look around, but I didn't like it very much.
Shapowei is the real Xiamen Port in the hearts of old Xiamen people. In the early years, fishing boats along the coast went out in the morning and returned in the evening. The salty smell of seafood floating in the streets and alleys is the childhood memory of many Xiamen natives. Shapowei is mainly divided into two major areas: Shelter Wharf and Art West District. Art West District is suitable for taking photos, and most of the food is concentrated in Shelter Wharf. Drinking a cup of coffee here is the reason for many tourists to stop. This was originally a Xiamen aquatic product processing factory. The cultural and artistic district transformed from a freezing plant, equipment room, and warehouse reflects the youthful vitality of Xiamen City, and the new trends of literary and artistic people can be seen. Just like this dining car transformed from a retro bus, although it is a remake, it is still interesting. Walking to Shelter Wharf, I encountered another graffiti wall. The wall has been mottled with years, but the imprint of history will only add to the charm and not reduce the style of the day. I randomly found two dessert shops that seemed to be very local. The mixed fruit jelly that looked ordinary had the stone flower introduced in "A Bite of China". The cool taste was endless. Before visiting Shapowei, I thought it was full of spiritual energy, but in the end, I was left with a full sense of local sentiment. It is unpretentious, low-key and peaceful.
After the renovation, Shapowei has become an art district, gathering many literary and artistic shops. If you have enough time, you can slowly stroll around.
Personally, I prefer the atmosphere of life hidden in the literature and art here.
People say that Shapowei is like a young lady who returned from studying in Europe. She is full of passion for life and decorates her home exquisitely and romantically.
The small shops and cafes along the coast play soft tunes, and passers-by smile with satisfaction, which is a symbol of satisfaction and joy in life.
There are many delicious foods in the alley, and you need to take time to find them. Good wine needs no bush. Here I ate authentic ginger duck.
In the past, Shapowei was full of fishing boats, and the other side of the river was full of dilapidated houses where locals lived. Nowadays, most of the local residents have moved away, leaving only a few small boats still reminiscing about the past history. Now Shapowei Market regularly holds market activities with different themes. It is the earliest and largest creative market platform in Xiamen, gathering more than a hundred young entrepreneurs.
Shapowei is the end of a long beach. Sand from everywhere flows here, forming a shallow crescent-shaped bay, which became a safe haven for fishing boats in the old days. Now, due to the construction of Yanwu Bridge, large fishing boats cannot enter, and only small fishing boats are still docked here, telling people about the past of a hundred years.
The fishing boats along the coast "go out in the morning and return in the evening, carrying large baskets of catch from the north and south, and return in a line when the wind is strong." This traditional imprint is still preserved today. At the romantic moment of sunset, the returning fishing boats still work as usual; and the aroma of seafood wafting through the streets is a childhood memory for many Xiamen natives.
The young people in old Xiamen would dig fiddler crabs on the mudflats, surround mudskippers in the reef puddles, and pick snails on bridge piers and reefs. They would then walk through the alleys and smell the aroma of wooden barrel rice in the house. Suddenly, they would be thrown into the sea by adults like chickens to learn how to swim...
Unfortunately, Xiamen is a small island, and traditional things will be immediately washed away by the modern atmosphere. Now Shapowei has become a commercial district dominated by culture and art, but you can still sit in the shop and order a cup of Internet celebrity drink to taste the faint joy and sorrow of this small port.
Shapowei is actually a creative park with all kinds of small shops selling food, drinks and daily necessities, but it would be a bit boring for me to go around there alone.
Many movies were filmed in Shapowei, Xiamen. "Take My Brother Away" was filmed here. I also like to come to Shapowei with my wife to relax. This place not only retains the docks with the style of southern Fujian, but also has modern urban buildings. This subtle combination makes me feel lost in the city and in the fields every time. Like all scenic spots and Internet celebrity check-in places in the country, there is a complete and consistent shopping street, as well as familiar online shopping stores, post offices, postcards, etc. However, because of the existence of Shapowei, this small and fresh store has a hint of light and elegant temperament. It is still recommended for couples and boys and girls who like to take pictures. I don’t recommend it if a group of gays come out to play, because after walking, there is no place to stop.
The goal should be to create an "art district" similar to Beijing's 798 block. At present, it seems to have a certain scale, with mobile cart shops, skateboard streets, and unique graffiti and architecture that attract many fashionistas who come to take photos. There are also some very unique Western restaurants and many Xiamen specialty snack shops. There is also a traditional cultural propaganda museum that introduces the folk custom of burning dragon boats, which is worth a visit.
Once a safe haven, Shapowei is now a great place for young artists to pose for photos
Shapowei is a very interesting place and a great place for photo shoots! The skateboard room on the second floor is so cool, and the green plants on the balcony are very cool.
If you also like vintage clothes, I highly recommend The World on the Top Floor. This vintage-style store is simply amazing!
I liked the 8BoT sign so I took a picture of it. I was also attracted by the drinks the guy was trying. I bought a cup when I was tired of shopping.
Hello, its me. I passed by this telephone booth and wanted to take a picture. Just as I had the idea, a young lady rushed up and took a picture. I had to trouble other people to take the picture, so I just assumed that I had taken it.
This is the tail of a branch of the sea, and it is also an inner bay suitable for fishing. Residents make a living by fishing! Because the temperature was high that day, there were few people in Shapowei Art Street, so we went to the small fishing village of Shapowei. The sea water here is smelly, and the houses are built on both sides of the sea. It is also a beautiful scenery for the camera!
The entrance to Shapowei is very inconspicuous, and the navigation system cannot provide a route. The entrance to Shapowei is opposite a beverage store called "Mango is Very Yellow". After entering from the entrance, there is a road. If you don't sit in the store inside, half an hour is enough for the tour.
Shapowei can be considered an art district, with many literary and artistic shops, and you can find many small things if you walk around carefully.
Shapowei used to be a safe haven, and now some internet-famous shops are here. It has an artistic atmosphere and is very suitable for taking photos.
It is said that the fishing boats in the sunset at Shapowei are very beautiful. The taxi driver said that the sun had already set and it was a traffic jam, so we would not be able to see the sunset even if we went, so we gave up. The driver's reason for refusing to take us was so convincing that we could not insist. It was already past 8 o'clock when it was completely dark.
Shapowei is an old neighborhood. After it was developed, there are all kinds of artistic shops scattered around. Unfortunately, the road was under construction when we went there. We encountered traffic jams, noise, and mud, and returned home disappointed. Shapowei was not suitable for taking photos during the road construction period.
Shapowei runs through University Road. Along the coast, there are many old fishing boats that are traces of history, which perfectly blend with the advanced, fashionable and exquisite style.
☞ Attractions? : It is a real internet celebrity check-in spot. The fresh decoration is really tasteful. There is a wall full of dreamy star balls to satisfy your princess dream, and there are cute telephone booths for you to pose, not to mention that every window is a good background. Here you can satisfy the little wish of girls to take photos

Walking along Daxue Road, you will see the river and old fishing boats on one side and various small shops on the other. Finding a small shop where you can pet cats, write a few postcards to old friends, and sit at the window on the second floor, sipping coffee and watching the sunset is also a kind of enjoyment in life.
