Sharing a strait comparable to Jiuzhaigou, and no filters needed!!!

On Pingtan Island in Fujian, there is a dreamy sea area nicknamed the "Glass Sea." The seawater here is not just a single shade of blue but displays layers of emerald, Tiffany blue, and even mint green. It is crystal clear, and under direct sunlight, it looks like flowing gems with saturated colors that truly require no filters! 🌍 Transportation Guide · Major Transportation: 1. High-speed train: Take the high-speed rail to "Pingtan Station" (Fuzhou-Xiamen high-speed rail now reaches here). This is the most recommended way. 2. Self-driving: Depart from Fuzhou, take the Jingtai Expressway and Pingtan Strait Bridge, about 1.5 hours to reach. · Island Transportation: Attractions are scattered across the island, strongly recommend renting a car or hiring a driver for touring. Electric scooters can also be rented, but be mindful of sun protection and battery range. 📅 2-Day Blue Chasing Itinerary Day 1: Northern Line Fantasy Tour, watch windmills dance with the sea · Morning: Head to Heping Village at the northernmost point, check in at the S-shaped road leading to the sea and the colorful stone houses. Then go straight to the northern ecological corridor, an excellent spot to view the offshore windmill fields. · Afternoon: Explore the Changjiang'ao windmill fields, where huge white windmills stand on the beach against a backdrop of gradient-colored seawater. Wait here for a stunning sunset. · Night: Stay in the county town or Beigang Village guesthouse, with a chance to join the Blue Tears chasing activity (seasonal, peak from April to June). Day 2: Southern Line Secret Adventure, encounter the "Little Maldives" · Morning: Head to Tannan Bay on the southern line, the representative of the "Glass Sea." Choose a less crowded beach (such as Tianmei'ao, Yuantang'ao) to experience the crystal-clear water. · Afternoon: Visit Xiangbi Bay at the southernmost tip (check tides, best at high tide). From a drone perspective, the beach looks like an elephant's trunk extending into the sea, with different colors of seawater on both sides, incredibly magical. Then visit Dafu Bay and check in at the white corridor arch bridge. · Dusk: End the trip at Houyan Island (68 Nautical Miles Scenic Area), the closest point on the mainland to Taiwan. The combination of reef landforms and azure seawater is very photogenic. ⭐ Must-Visit Attractions 1. Tannan Bay: Has Pingtan's finest white sand and clearest "Glass Sea," with distinct layers of seawater, ideal for swimming and photography. 2. Northern Ecological Corridor: The peak of the mountain-sea highway's beauty, offering breathtaking views of blue sea, white sand, windmills, and reefs. 3. Changjiang'ao Windmill Fields: A large-scale offshore windmill group, at sunset the windmills, beach, and golden sea form a romantic scene. 4. Houyan Island (68 Nautical Miles Scenic Area): Unique rock formations combined with boundless sea views, red-brown reefs contrasting with blue-green seawater, full of geometric beauty. 💡 Warm Tips 1. Weather is key: The seawater color is directly related to sunlight intensity, so be sure to visit on sunny days; cloudy weather greatly reduces the effect. 2. Wind and sun protection: Pingtan is windy (nicknamed "Wind Island"), especially in autumn and winter, so bring windproof jackets and hats. UV rays are very strong, use high-SPF sunscreen and reapply frequently. 3. Tide check: Before visiting reef beaches like Xiangbi Bay and Jingsha, check tide times for safety and to enjoy the best views at high tide. 4. Avoid peak times: Holidays and summer weekends are crowded; try to visit on weekdays for a better experience. 5. Food recommendations: Must-try local seafood such as "Shilaiyunzhuan" (salted rice time), razor clams, braised sweet potato noodles, etc. The county town offers many Haicang specialty snacks and seafood stalls.
