Xiapu Mudflat, Coastal mudflat in Ningde, China.
The Xiapu Mudflat stretches over 40 kilometers along the Fujian province coastline, forming patterns of sand and water during tidal changes.
The region contains the 700-year-old Dajing Castle, which stands as a testament to the enduring connection between land and sea in this coastal area.
Local fishermen maintain traditional aquaculture practices, using bamboo poles and nets for oyster farming and seaweed cultivation across the expansive mudflats.
Visitors need waterproof boots and should check tide schedules before exploring, as water levels affect accessibility to different photography locations throughout the day.
The mudflats create natural tiger-skin patterns at Beiqi Village, while Shajiang Village presents distinct S-shaped waterways visible during low tide periods.
