After the troops assembled, they headed to Nanji Village in mainland China to capture the sunset at the southernmost tip of the continent, featuring a dazzling array of elements, including the lantern tower, the waterline, salt pans, coral reefs, windmills, and sunny beaches. Along the way, we encountered numerous small private salt pans, and if we happened to see oxcarts driving to the sea or salt workers at work, we could stop and take photos. After the shoot, we headed to Xuwen County for our overnight stay.
Day 2: Nanji Village → Pineapple Sea → Xishan Village → Imperata Sea
All day
After breakfast, we'll travel to Pineapple Sea, known as the "Hometown of Pineapples in China." We'll explore the area's many hidden photo spots to capture authentic pineapple action. Year-round, you'll have the opportunity to capture pineapple harvesters in action. Known as the "Flower Fields of Hokkaido" and the "Idyll of Europe," the endless expanse of pineapple fields stretches gracefully to the horizon. The vibrant colors of the pineapple orchards year-round, interspersed with small villages and massive windmills, create a captivating tropical agricultural landscape. After your photo session, we'll proceed to Imperata Sea for overnight stay.
Visit Xishan, Xinliao, at the right time to photograph banana boats and sunsets. Near Xishan Village, a small banana-shaped sampan, used for offshore fishing, is located on the waters. These boats are so lightweight that two people can easily carry them ashore. They navigate the shallow waters with ease, like a whitebait in the waves, earning them the nickname "Baicaoguai" (white chaoguai) from the locals. As the sun sets, the Xishan sea appears to be bathed in a blanket of gold. Long-exposure photos with these unique local boats in the foreground are sure to be breathtaking.
Day 3 Baimaohai → Chikan Old Street → Zhanjiang West → Various places
All day
Get up early to capture the sunrise over Baimaohai and the locals fishing. Baimaohai is named after Baimao Village, founded in the early years of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty. Surrounded by three seas, it boasts abundant fishery resources, earning it the nickname "Baimaohai." The "Ten-Mile Oyster Beach" is a famous spot in this area. When the tide recedes, a vast expanse of black rock, covered in oysters, is exposed. Residents of Baimao Village and nearby fishermen gather in bamboo baskets to dig for oysters on the Black Rock. The old lighthouse at Baimaohai is the soul of this area. The Guangdong Tourism official account recommends Baimaohai as one of the most beautiful sunrise viewing spots.
After breakfast, head to Zhanjiang Chikan Old Street to photograph the cultural architecture. Many "Nanyang-style" buildings are still preserved here, with old arcades and traditional houses blending together. Walking here, you can feel the traces of history and experience the rich atmosphere of life. This is also the main filming location for the 2020 hit web series "The Hidden Corner." Here, you can take your time to film and enjoy Zhanjiang's delicious snacks.
Disband the group at Zhanjiang West Station (estimated arrival time around 4:00 PM) and return home by high-speed rail, concluding your three-day enjoyable photography trip.
