October in Xiapu, staying in a "Museum on the Sea"

Locals say that in October in Xiapu, if there is light, it is a photography season gifted by the gods. If not, it is a watercolor painting. And I happened to encounter its brightest appearance.

Departing from Hangzhou, 3.5 hours by high-speed train.
I was very lucky to have a string of sunny days.
I wanted to find a seaside place with few people and stories to stay for a few days.
So I found "Baisui."

It used to be a ballet shoe factory.
Now it is a museum guesthouse facing the sea.
The retro industrial style structure retains the framework of the old factory,
but injects new vitality.

Opening the window reveals an unreserved view of the sea.
In the evening, do nothing,
just wait for a sunset that will not be late.

If you want to come too:
▫️ It is recommended to stay 2-3 nights to experience the slow-paced seaside daily life.
▫️ Sunny mornings and evenings are the best times for photos.
▫️ It’s best to rent a car for flexible exploration of the surroundings.
