About Xunpu Village
The traditional zanhuawei headdress centres rings of seasonal flowers around a coiled hair bun. It accompanies practical local clothing such as loose dajushan tops and wide trousers, associated with women working along the shore and carrying seafood. Flower dressing has also become a prominent part of the village's visitor economy.
The oyster-shell houses, called keke cuo, combine granite wall bases and red-brick window surrounds with an outer skin of overlapping shells. The shells are laid in rows with their convex surfaces facing up, creating the conspicuous scale-like texture of the walls. This material detail links the streetscape closely to the village's maritime life.
What to look for
