Here, I met the heart-moving sea——Pingtan Island Travel Guide

My babies! I just came back from Pingtan, and wrote this incomplete guide to Pingtan Island, the filming location of China's National Geographic. For you who are about to leave for Pingtan Island, I sincerely recommend that you take a closer look at the collection and immediately place an order: "Windproof sunglasses + sunscreen + hairspray + high-top waterproof shoe covers", then choose an auspicious day, avoid typhoons, and set off quickly... 🚙️Transportation: Self-driving Bid farewell to the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys of Fuzhou, pass through the downtown area, get on the Beijing-Taipei Expressway, cross the world's longest highway-railway bridge - the Pingtan Sea-Crossing Bridge, and you will arrive at Pingtan Island, the largest island in Fujian and the closest place to the mainland and Taiwan. The cross-sea bridge is 16.3 km long, with a six-lane highway in both directions on the upper level and a high-speed railway line in both directions on the lower level. [Shrine] Attractions: Disco scene on the sea Blue Tears Warning: Don’t trust the weather forecast! The metaphysics of this island is to remember to wear slippers (or overshoes) and a hat with a string buckle, otherwise the waves will wash your feet and the blue sky will give your hat wings. The four essential items for island travel are: a hat, sunglasses, a swimsuit, and slippers. 🏖Must-visit attractions 1. Changjiangao Windmill Field: The wind in Pingtan is breathtakingly beautiful. It's a photo-taking paradise with its own Hayao Miyazaki BGM, but please use your boyfriend as a support, the level 10 evil wind will make you understand what "hairstyle freedom" means. 2. Houyan Island (68 nautical miles scenic area): The closest point from the mainland to Taiwan (68 nautical miles). The red trail, lighthouse, and reefs are suitable for taking photos. Please pay attention to sun protection when the wind is strong. Purchase tickets to enter the scenic area. (68 nautical miles from Nanliao Fishing Port, Hsinchu, Taiwan) 3. Tannan Bay: The person who can watch the sea with you is more romantic than the sea. The Blue Tears PLUS version has clear water, few people and is quiet. It is a place where blue tears appear frequently. It is divided into several small beaches (Tianmeiao, Yuanyaoao, etc.), which is suitable for camping and daydreaming. It is recommended to wear fluorescent clothes so that rescuers can find you more easily when you are swept away by the waves (peak season from April to June). 4. Beigang (Cultural and Creative) Village: A representative of stone house ancient villages and the filming location of "Where Are We Going, Dad?", it has a strong literary and artistic atmosphere and is suitable for taking photos, experiencing homestays, and doing handicraft DIY. 🧆️Food: Self-cultivation of seafood 1. Oyster omelette: It is suggested to change the name to "Oyster hide and seek" because you can always find surprises (sand) in the eggs. 2. Bazhen Fried Cake: The ceiling of local dark cuisine, with a magical taste of sweet and salty interweaving. Remember to have a can of Wanglaoji after eating it. 3. Peanut soup: It looks ordinary, but it actually contains a secret - half bowl of peanuts and half bowl of sugar. Diabetic patients should be careful. 🏕Accommodation: Listen to the sea or listen to the wind? Here, every breeze has the flavor of nature. Enjoying leisure time is the home of the soul A. Sea view homestay: You can see the sea when you open the window, but you can also lose sleep because of the sea breeze (it is recommended to bring your own earplugs). B. County town hotels: The air conditioning is gentler than the sea breeze, but taking a taxi to the beach will make you question your life (20+ one way). 🧭Itinerary reference: Pingtan Island Tour Map A. One-day tour: Beibu Gulf Ecological Corridor - Changjiangao Windmill Field - Beigang Cultural and Creative Village - Longwangtou Beach. B. Two-day tour: Day 1 North Line (Beibu Gulf Ecological Corridor + Changjiangao Windmill Field + Beigang Cultural and Creative Village); Day 2 South Line (Houyan Island + Tannan Bay + Jiangjun Mountain). 📢Warm Tips: High-speed trains can go to "Pingtan Station". It is best to rent a car/electric car on the island (attractions are scattered), and bus routes are limited. Self-driving tour is the best choice if possible. 🔕️Prevention Guide: 1. Check the battery level before renting an electric car! If you ignore it, you will be blown into Mei Chaofeng by the sea breeze and have to push the cart for three kilometers. It's up to you. 2. Learn "Level 10 Pingtan Dialect" before buying seafood, otherwise you may encounter a magical situation where "the boss said 38/catty, but when you check out it becomes 38/liang". 3. Please increase the sun protection index to SPF100+, otherwise in three days you will be so dark that your own mother will not recognize you. 📻Final advice: It is recommended that sisters who wear skirts give up image management directly. After all, in Pingtan, your hair will reach its destination before you! Pingtan Island, a magical place that makes you want to curse when you come (the wind is too strong), and miss it when you leave (the blue tears are too beautiful)~
