Photo Spots
1. Wangfu Continent: A well-known attraction on Xia Chuan Island with fine sand and clear seawater. You can photograph the waves, footprints, and silhouettes on the beach; use the coconut groves as a backdrop to capture people walking through them; in the evening, capture the light and shadows of the fishing village sunset and the sea.
2. Xia Chuan Coconut Groves: Full of rich Southeast Asian charm. Use the curves of the coconut tree trunks to compose your shots, photographing people leaning against or strolling through them; use the coconut groves as a backdrop, and add camping props (tents, picnic mats, etc.) to create a relaxed atmosphere.
3. Mi Rock: A great place to watch the sunrise. Arrive early to photograph the color changes of the eastern skyline at sunrise; use the outline of the Mi Rock reef, combined with the rising sun, to create silhouette effects.
4. Niukou Park: The sea view platform has a good view. You can take panoramic views of the sea and sky; create compositions with the sacred cow sculpture in the foreground and the sea in the background; capture the moment when the sea breeze blows through your hair and the corners of your clothes.
5. Dong Bay: A sunset viewing spot. Record the beautiful scenery of the sunset dyeing the sea orange-red; photograph people's profiles and full-body shots in the sunset.
6. Colorful Fishing Boats: The blue and maroon fishing boats of Xia Chuan Island are a special feature. Use the fishing boats as a backdrop to photograph people boarding the fishing boats or working and resting by the boats.
Shooting Tips
• Make good use of light: Morning and evening are golden hours, the light is soft, and you can take warm-toned romantic photos; on sunny days, use tree shadows to create light and shadow contrast to take pictures with distinct light and dark.
• Low-angle shooting: Shoot upwards close to the ground to highlight the tall shapes of coconut trees, reefs, etc., and increase the visual impact of the picture.
• Capture dynamic moments: In scenes such as beaches and seas, capture the moments when people run, play in the water, and chase the waves to show vitality.
• Clever use of props: Prepare straw hats, colorful balloons, bubble machines, surfboards, etc. to add interest and atmosphere to the picture.
Outfit Suggestions
• Fresh vacation style: Girls choose floral dresses, white wide-leg pants with colorful suspenders; boys wear linen shorts and colorful short-sleeved shirts.
• Energetic sports style: Suitable for water sports, quick-drying shorts, vests, with sun hats and sports sunglasses.
Other reminders
• Check the weather in advance. Sunny days have high color saturation and produce better photos. After rain, there may be a fresh atmosphere.
• Bring photography equipment. Drones can take panoramic views of the island, and camera telephoto lenses can capture details of the distant sea.
• Take sun protection and mosquito prevention measures to ensure a comfortable shooting process.
