Pingtan Summer Healing Sea Catching Spots
【Introduction】: Pingtan Island is not only a perfect seaside travel destination in summer but also a great place for sea catching in China. Today, I recommend a treasure spot for sea catching located in the northern part of Pingtan Island.
⛺【Great Sea Catching Spots】: Changjiang'ao Beach, Jingsha Black Beach, Beigang Village Shamen Front Beach
🛬【Sea Catching Guide】: The key to sea catching is to closely monitor the tides. Large tidal changes are particularly suitable for sea catching because when the tide recedes quickly, some seafood creatures like shells cannot burrow deep into the seabed and are left on the beach.
Beigang Village Front Beach has a lot of clams and razor clams, and it is very close to accommodation, making it very convenient. There are many people catching sea creatures here.
Jingsha Black Beach has many black reefs and a lot of snails. Many locals are there, and it is relatively close to Beigang Village, about a 10-minute electric bike ride away.
Changjiang'ao Beach is the largest, with many tourists catching sea creatures here. You can see small colorful snails everywhere, and you can enjoy the sea breeze and the scenery.
🏨【Accommodation Guide】: It is recommended to stay in the homestays in Beigang Village. The prices are affordable, and during the off-season, there are many accommodations for just over 100 yuan. All three sea catching spots are easily accessible by electric bike.
🧡【Tips】: Remember to bring a bucket, tongs, shovel, gloves, and water shoes for sea catching. Also, make sure to take sun protection measures.

Stop chasing the blue tears; the sunset at Changjiang'ao is the ultimate view of Pingtan
The blue tears of Pingtan are really too elusive, requiring nightly mobilization based on tear information, and the chances of encountering a major outbreak are quite low, making it quite a struggle.
Since you've come to Pingtan and can't find the blue tears, you must not miss the sunset at Changjiang'ao.
As the sun sets, the mudflats also shine with golden light, and the windmills in the distance form the most beautiful sunset. The rotating windmills, the S-curve of the Huanhai Road, and the flow of cars are all vividly illustrated at this moment.
This is the most beautiful moment on Pingtan Island!
From this spot,
in front is the spectacular sunset, closer are the beautiful mudflats and windmills, next to it is an ancient temple,
and there's also a beautiful internet-famous tree for checking in. It's truly a must-visit spot in Pingtan.
Location: Changjiang'ao Wind Farm, S-curve of Huanhai Road, Sea Temple

Fuzhou-Pingtan Island North and South Ring Road
A great place for leisure~ Wander aimlessly around the island on the North and South Ring Road, and stop wherever you want to spend half a day, it's very comfortable~ Especially love the sunset at Changjiang'ao🌄 and the beach at Tannan Bay~ You can stay at Tannan Bay for a whole day without getting bored^ I prefer watching the sunset while driving around the ring road at Changjiang'ao. As the scenery changes, the sunset clouds also change with time, and it's really beautiful! Especially the sudden view of the pink and purple twilight at the corner, it's as beautiful as a fairy tale. Jing Sha is also nice, going down for a walk and if someone skilled takes photos, it can be very picturesque. 68 Sea Miles requires a ticket, but it's okay to go for a walk. Beigang Village has many people who like the stone house architecture, which is a local feature of Beigang. You can see the sunrise in Beigang, but I've heard people say you can see the sunset 'but I really didn't see the sunset' and the place I stayed in Beigang faced the sea with a 3-story terrace, and I really couldn't see the sunset. Both the North and South lines have their own characteristics, and slowing down makes it feel more comfortable. I see some people say that Pingtan can be done in 2 days, but that's just skimming through the sights, one after another, and it's possible to tour that way. But it really lacks feeling~ Slowing down in Pingtan, I think, is better. I feel that even 5 days in Pingtan could be extended by another two days. I went in mid-May and could still chase the 'tears'~ (However, be careful when chasing the 'tears', it's really dark by the sea at night, and there are occasional trip hazards like stones or objects on the beach that you can't see because of the darkness, and it's easy to fall) If you've never been to Pingtan, it's really worth a visit. The locals in Beigang say that in July, the sky is the same color as the sea~ I imagine that must also be very beautiful. Also, I must mention that the mosquitoes in Pingtan are really fierce, each one more bloodthirsty than the last, so be sure to do a good job of mosquito prevention

Pingtan | Nanny-level Guide | Is the sea worth it in winter?
All are dry goods, live without filters👀👀.
Winter with the sun, the experience is still very good.
Whether it's a homestay, or a chartered/rented car💰, it's very fragrant.
No one fights for parking spaces, no one fights for dining tables, and no one even fights with you for WC (this is the most practical), but be sure to check the weather before coming, preferably for two consecutive days of sunny weather☀️.
The first scenic spot on the north line starts from Xianren Well.
1️⃣Xianren Well:
There is a small road about 1 kilometer away from the scenic area. If you don't want to walk, you can also choose a sightseeing car. The best photography location is in the middle of the black rift. Pay attention to the reef under your feet to avoid slipping. There is also a Xianren Valley (the drone vision will be better).
2️⃣Beigang Art Village:
Stone houses, backed by mountains and facing the sea, have a superior geographical location. There is also the location of Where Dad Goes. However, perhaps because of the 🔥, this village is now very commercial. Whether it is worth coming or not, it's up to you.
3️⃣The most beautiful coastal road:
Here you can see the sea and sky line, it's really super beautiful.
4️⃣Mirror Sand:
Known as Fujian's "Little Iceland", the black beach is mysterious, especially the black hole, which gives people a sense of doomsday. Pay attention to the ebb tide before you can go in and take pictures📷. It's very photogenic whether it's cloudy or sunny.
5️⃣Changjiang Ao:
I personally think it is very suitable for children to play here, let the children understand the wind power station up close, the beach is clean, and the children can experience catching crabs🦀, picking up conch🐚, and stepping on the beach.
6️⃣Guocai Village (Fairy Tale Town):
Although Fairy Tale Town is said to be in Guocai Village, the shooting location is not here. Here you can see a long coastline and a white circular staircase, which is also very photogenic.
8️⃣Windmill Forest:
Actually, only that angle can take pictures. There are many vehicles coming and going, so be sure to pay attention to safety.
9️⃣Northern Deep State Corridor:
I highly recommend it here. If you come to Pingtan to play and don't go to the Northern Deep State Corridor, it's a waste of trip. This is a place full of romance. There are windmills, sea, and romantic people. Sometimes you can also meet a group of cute little lambs🐑. Furthermore, it is the Listening Wind Platform over there, there are also different windmill seas, and you can watch the sunset. Note: Two-wheelers🛵 are prohibited from entering, you can take a sightseeing car (1 person/10💰), 🚘 can drive in.
🔟Fairy Tale Town S Bay: Why is it called Fairy Tale Town by everyone? Here you can see castles, trees, sea, beach, windmills, roads, the beauty is really beautiful, be sure to pay attention to the vehicles coming and going, civilized shooting🎬 oh

What to play on Pingtan Island during the National Day holiday? This article is enough!
What else can you play in Pingtan besides chasing blue tears and watching the sea? Because I live in the Moqiao of Changjiangao, the range of activities is mainly around the homestay area.
The sand mountain in Figure 1 is within walking distance of the hotel. If you don't like walking, driving takes at most five minutes. According to the housekeeper of the homestay, the formation of the sand mountain is due to the terrain. The sea breeze blows the sand on the beach to this place. Over time, it becomes what we see today, changing and spectacular. It is recommended to wear light-colored clothes for taking pictures in the sand mountain, and you can walk barefoot on the sand mountain, which is quite interesting.
The stone array in Figure 3 is actually a waste recycling station. However, passing through the waste recycling station and walking into the stone array is like walking into a wild planet, full of wild fun. There are many succulents and cacti in the stone cracks. This place is very suitable for taking ancient style photos. Little brothers and sisters who like this shooting style can bring a set of Hanfu to Pingtan. This place is on the East Road of the island, not far from Haitan Ancient City.
Moqiao is one kilometer away from Changjiangao on foot. Standing on the shore and admiring the scenery of windmills connected with mountains and seas, whether it is a clear sky or a gloomy rainy day, each has its own beauty. The housekeepers of Moqiao also have a lot of unique private collections of scenery. If you live here, you might as well chat with them more and you will gain a different experience in Pingtan.
If you just want to stay quietly in Pingtan for two days, staying in Moqiao is the wisest choice. Sleep until you wake up naturally, eat the local special breakfast carefully prepared by the homestay. In this excellent location, the endless sea view and the gentle sea breeze accompany you like a shadow; the blue and white tones and the simple stone house architecture of the homestay are very photogenic, and you won't get tired of taking pictures all day.

A cream-colored, standalone B&B built by the sea
The standalone cream villa opens to a view of the sea and windmills, with a beautiful courtyard. There's a coffee shop with many picturesque spots. The first floor has many public areas with thoughtful designs, such as the boss's travel map and the boss's wife's photography portraits.
There are not many rooms, a total of seven. We stayed in the forest view on the first floor, which comes with a small courtyard and is quite spacious.
It is recommended to drive by yourself as it is quite close to the Forest Road, Glass Plank Road, Changjiang Ao and other scenic spots, just a few minutes' drive away. There's also a beach nearby where you can go and play, not too crowded.
There are not many places to eat around, you need to drive to other places, so it's a good idea to prepare some food to bring along.
