After sunrise, venture out on a boat to Dongandao to capture the floating fishing village. This fishing village has a name , literally meaning “Venice on the Sea” – there are hundreds of houses built on the sea, a very impressive sight which will take your breath away and make sure you will snap non-stop.
After lunch, proceed to Xishan as you await the fishermen returning from their fishing trip. This is also a very good place for sunset. But you will be going to Dongbi right after Xishan for one of the best sunset view over the sea.

After Huazhu, transfer to Yangjiaxi for some ancient banyan tree photo-taking in the picturesque oldbanyan tree forest. Some of the banyan tree has more than 800 years of history. Under the shine of sunrays penetrating through the forest, the whole scenery seems to be like an oil painting.
Break for lunch before continuing in the afternoon.
After lunch, it is time to visit Yantian where you can interact with the locals, known as (“Lian Family Fleet Culture”). They are the boat people of Yantian, who for generations, have been dependent on fishing and clam picking as their livelihood. They live in small run-down (sometimes broken) boat and have to lead a wandering life on the sea, weathering all kinds of harsh conditions on the sea, just to be able to make ends meet. They have also been labelled as “sea gypsies”. Use your camera and skills, to showcase the life of these boat people. Tell their history, their culture and their stories through your lenses.
