💡 Tips

Use Didi (ride-hailing) or rent a car, as public buses between the coastal villages are infrequent.
Visit Beiao Beach during low tide to see the rock formations and the colorful seaside architecture clearly.
The area is very close to Fuzhou Changle International Airport, making it an excellent spot for a final coastal break.
Be mindful of the tides; at high tide, much of the sandy beach area disappears under the cliffs.
Look for the massive wind turbines along the coast, which provide a great backdrop for sunset photos.

Hunan is a rising coastal community in the Changle District of Fuzhou. Due to its immediate proximity to Fuzhou Changle International Airport, the town has become a key link between urban infrastructure and the natural coastal landscape. Beiao Beach (北澳沙滩) is a popular spot for locals and visitors to enjoy the sea without traveling far from the city. The coastline features wide sandy areas and moderate surf, well-suited for relaxing walks. In recent years, the waterfront has been modernized with parks and leisure facilities to enhance the natural beauty of the area. Local cuisine features typical Fuzhou fish balls and fresh seafood from the East China Sea. Hunan is an excellent example of modern development along the Fujian coast, where traditional fishing meets high-tech logistics. Thanks to its excellent transport links, it is a good first or last stop for travelers visiting the Fuzhou region.
