Shapowei typhoon shelter

Xiamen port used to be a famous port in history. The area near the sea was called "shapowei". The coastal fishing boats "go out in the morning and return in the evening, and pick and catch in the north and south of Dadan. When the wind blows, the fish pass through and return", becoming a natural shelter from the wind. It used to be the most prosperous area in Xiamen, with 10000 or 20000 people and nearly 4000 fishing boats in its heyday. The smell of seafood in the streets is a childhood memory of many Xiamen aborigines.

Typhoon shelter is the landmark of shapowei. You can see it from any alley between 2 and 150 university road. Today's typhoon shelter still plays its original function. It can not only see all kinds of fishing boats in Southern Fujian, but also see egrets flying over the water when it's lucky. Friends who like photography must not miss it.
