Xiapu is praised as the most beautiful mudflat in China, with green sea, sliver beach and charming fishing boats. April to May, September to November are the season of seaweed harvesting, best time to photograph the local farmers and fishermen's work scene.
Xiapu arrival by high speed train from Fuzhou or Xiamen, which are connected by international flights from Singapore, US, Canada and European countries.

Welcome dinner with Mercier and other participants.
After dinner, Mercier will have a short pre-trip instruction in the local photographer's office, and you can also try local famous tea :)
Max. number of participants: 8; Min. number: 3.
Two cameras will be very helpful, it will save your time to change the lenses. Better to have one full frame body with regular lens, and one half frame for zoom lens.
For sunrise, 24-70 and 70-200 are needed; at sunset, 70-200 is more useful.
Besides, if would be great if you have a primary lens with big aperture (1.4 or 1.8) for low light indoor photography.
Tripod is very necessary of course. We prepare at least 2 tripods for backup, you can bring your ball head only and use it on our tripod if concerning about the weight of your luggages.
I don't think you will use polarizer filters or ND filters in Xiapu.
Besides, it will be great if you can bring a mini tripod for your mobile phone, lots of opportunities to film time-lapse when tide coming.
