Xiamen (15 July 2024) - 沙坡尾 (Sha Po Wei)

沙坡尾 (Sha Po Wei), once a bustling fishing port, is now a popular destination for both locals and tourists. The area is known for its unique blend of old and new, where traditional fishing boats dock alongside contemporary art galleries, trendy cafes, and boutique shops. The picturesque harbor, with its tranquil waters and historic architecture, provides a beautiful backdrop for an evening stroll.

As we arrived at Shapowei, we were immediately captivated by its lively and eclectic atmosphere. The narrow streets and alleys are filled with an array of interesting sights and sounds. We began our evening with a leisurely stroll along the riverbank. The setting sun cast a golden glow over the harbor, making it an ideal time for photography. The reflections of the old fishing boats on the water created a serene and picturesque scene. As the sun sets, we could see the beautiful reflection of the majestic Twin Towers (双子星)on the waters.


Looking for something different to eat for dinner, we saw a video of this shop 百万万 (Bravo Burger) and decided to give it a try. Bravo Burger, is a popular burger joint in the area known for its amazing tasting burgers. After dinner, we continued our exploration of Sha Po Wei by visiting the arts market. The market, set up along the riverbank, was bustling with activity. Brightly lit stalls displayed a wide array of handmade crafts, artworks, and vintage items.







Our evening at Sha Po Wei was a delightful experience, filled with art, culture, and delicious food. The area's unique blend of history and modernity, along with its vibrant arts scene, makes it a must-visit destination in Xiamen.

Not too bad.... We enjoyed the vibes and food here.
