Many people say that you must go to Gulangyu Island in Xiamen when you go to Fujian, but I don’t think so now. Today I’m going to introduce you to Xiapu Dajing Beach. Although it’s a niche island, it boasts stunning ocean views, fresh and delicious seafood at reasonable prices. You must come here and experience the Xiapu beach. At least you won’t regret it.
Introduction to Xiapu Dajing Beach
Xiapu Dajing Beach is the longest beach on the Ningde coastline, stretching about 3500 meters. The local beach is basically free of any impurities. The sand is clean and golden yellow, the seawater is clear, and every day shrimps, crabs, and shellfish are pushed ashore with the tide. Lucky tourists often have unexpected small harvests. Every summer night, countless tents rise with the night on the beach, bonfires beside them are lit and laughter fills the air. The whole beach returns to the quiet of the night.
Xiapu Dajing Beach belongs to the subtropical monsoon humid climate. It is known as the “Hawaii of Fujian” and the “Daihe of Northeast Fujian”. The beach is 3000 meters long and 200 meters wide, and is complemented by Ming Dynasty ancient castles and other historical sites and myths.

Recommended attractions
1、Shalonggang
Shalonggang is famous not only because it looks like a dragon lying on the beach. There is a small sloping slope here. It’s a place where the sea can’t reach, the sand is white as snow, and the whole beach is warm and soft under the sun. This is the best place to sunbathe and enjoy the sea breeze. It can be called a snowfield in the sea.
2、Small windmills
The mountain here is covered with white small windmills. They feel the temperature and humidity of the sea, enjoy the sea breeze. This is the Xiapu Dajing Wind Farm. The small windmills are noble and elegant, standing on the mountain, very romantic, attracting many people to take photos and play.
3、”Lover’s Paradise”
The hundreds of miles of Australian ironwood are deep green and deep green, absorbing the abundant sunlight on Dajing Beach. Australian ironwood is commonly known as casuarina, with a straight trunk, never bending, needle-like leaves. The leaves are a few centimeters long, some are just a span, with obvious knots. This is the first large-scale artificial wind and sand protection forest of Australian ironwood in Fujian Province. The ground in the forest is all fine sand, soft as a carpet, dotted with drought-resistant weeds. Plus, the casuarina leaves shade the sky, creating a thick green shade, hence the name “Lover’s Paradise”.
4、Pebble beach
The sand here is covered with large and small pebbles, some as big as apples, some as small as quail eggs. Under the scouring of the waves, the pebbles are all round and crystal clear, with colorful colors. People walking on these stones can’t describe the comfort and joy under their feet, they are warm and can also help sleep.
5、Dajing Ancient Castle
Dajing Ancient Castle was built in the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty. Because this area of Dajing Village in Ningde was repeatedly harassed by Japanese pirates at that time, an ancient castle was built to resist foreign enemies, which was one of the four major castles in Fujian at that time. Today, although more than 700 years have passed, the ancient castle remains intact, and its long history exudes a strong sense of history, attracting a large number of tourists to visit and admire.
