My post on the variety of transportation methods in China included some examples from Xiapu, Fujian.  I went there based on the tip of a friend who had heard of its picturesque fishing villages.  Not only did it prove to be full of beautiful landscapes, it also had its own special local culture.

Some additional photos:
