[Yuhuan | Coast and Countryside: A Long Letter to Eastern Fujian]
On the eastern coast of Zhejiang, Yuhuan is a land that blends sea breeze, rural life, and fishing village life. In the early morning, the sea shimmers silver, fishing boats slowly leave the harbor, the sea breeze carries a salty aroma, and the morning mist in the fields interweaves with the tiles of the farmhouses. Every breath brings the unique freshness and tranquility of a coastal city.
In the morning, the coastal trails are quiet and long. Waves gently lap against the shore, the fishing port and small islands loom in the distance, and the dew on the country paths gleams in the morning light. Strolling through the village, red brick roofs, ancient temples, and lush green fields intertwine in the morning light. The atmosphere of fishing village life blends with the sea breeze, and time seems to stretch here. Every step feels like breathing in the rhythm of the coast and countryside. The afternoon light is brightest, the sea shimmering, the fields and villages are clearly outlined, the fishing port is bustling and orderly, and the coast, countryside, and villages interweave into a dynamic scene in light and shadow, vividly showcasing the atmosphere of Yuhuan life. At dusk, the setting sun paints the sea, fishing harbor, and fields a golden orange. A gentle breeze caresses the water, casting shadows across the beach, village roads, and temples, as if time has slowed down. Truly breathtaking, after nightfall, lights illuminate the villages, fishing harbor, and coastal trails, their reflections reflected on the water. Yuhuan whispers stories of coastal life and the local culture of eastern Fujian.
If time permits, stroll along the coast, photographing the reflections, or wander through the fields and fishing villages, capturing the intertwining of sea breeze, light, and life. You'll understand then: Yuhuan is more than just a coastal city; it's a long poem composed of coastline, countryside, and fishing village life. Every step brings you to the refreshing tranquility of the eastern Fujian coast.
