Xunpu Village, Fujian

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.
