Xunpu Village's unique zanhua (fresh flower hairpin) tradition blew up all over global social media feeds. Local coastal women wear elaborate full flower crowns woven from fresh blossoms, a centuries-old custom born from ancient oyster fisher clans, now recognized as a representative intangible cultural symbol of Fujian coastal folk culture.
Travelers can book full floral hairstyling sessions and take portraits beside the village's exclusive oyster-shell wall houses—this special architecture exists nowhere else in China. This viral flower hairpin trend revived the village's local tourism economy, drawing worldwide attention to this once-overlooked coastal heritage spot. Wearing zanhua is far more than just a photo gimmick; it lets visitors immerse themselves in local coastal women's daily routines, old fishing labor customs and soft folk aesthetic tastes all at once. The village stays open for visits year-round, spring and autumn carry the most pleasant mild coastal weather.
A Filipino content creator said fresh flower crowns wilt super quickly under harsh midday sunlight—schedule all photoshoots in early morning or late afternoon hours.
