🔥Ultimate Tips:

▪️Transportation: Renting a car is recommended for the whole trip! Attractions are scattered and public transport is limited (Many car rental points near Xiapu Station)

▪️Outfits: Wear a white long dress👗 for the grasslands + bright colors👒 for fishing villages

▪️Avoid mistakes: Be cautious about shooting Xiapu mudflats on cloudy days! Only sunny days can capture the mirror-like effect

▪️Cost: Around 800+ per person💰 (Off-season homestays 200+/night)
