At that moment, you finally understand: Nostalgia is nothing but — a city remembers you, and you are willing to stay for a while. Haitan has no ancient past, yet it tells an ancient dream. In the heart of Pingtan, the pulse of a thousand years beats.

Haitan Ancient City is a must-see destination in Pingtan. Located at the intersection of Cuiyuan South Road and Huandao East Road, it's open 24/7 year-round. It blends ancient charm with modern flair, surrounded by period buildings and offering a wide range of dining, shopping, and entertainment options. The atmosphere is vibrant both day and night, making it a great place to experience local culture and savor delicious food. Recommended route: Enter through the city gate and stroll slowly along the main street to marvel at the architecture. Try the various food stalls, especially taking photos while you walk. After entering the city, you can rent Hanfu (Chinese traditional clothing) and change into it. Any stop is truly captivating, especially along the ancient city walls, along the old alleys, or along the arched bridges, which offer stunning photo opportunities. If you prefer unique dining options, consider taking a slightly longer detour; there are numerous themed restaurants and cafes within the city, perfect for a restful night. A round trip takes about two hours, and you can spend the evening enjoying the romantic atmosphere of the ancient city illuminated by the night lights. Must-dos and photo spots: 1. Hanfu Experience: Rent a Hanfu costume for a photoshoot – the atmosphere will instantly rock you. 2. Ancient City Wall: Snap a stunning photo with the old city wall as a backdrop – a must-do. 3. Ancient Streets and Alleys: The cobblestone streets and antique lanterns are Instagram-worthy photo spots. 4. Food Court: Don't miss the local seafood, snacks, and traditional pastries. Attraction Tips: - The area is open year-round, but it's recommended to visit on weekdays for photos. Weekends are more crowded, and passersby are likely to be in the photo. - It's recommended to book the Hanfu Experience in advance; popular items may require a wait. - Each alleyway has its own unique style, so take your time to discover hidden photo spots. - Restaurants in the ancient city mostly specialize in local cuisine; we recommend trying the seafood and local snacks. - For a nighttime experience, stay until sunset; the lights come on to create a more medieval atmosphere. Things to note: - The ancient city is large, so comfortable shoes are recommended. - Some food stalls have shorter opening hours on weekdays, so it's best to go early. - Bring your own power bank, as a full day of taking photos and checking in might not be enough.

Having been to Pingtan three times, I've discovered that many of its attractions are completely unnecessary! Not recommended 📍Beigang Village on the northern route: Overly commercialized... There used to be a few worthwhile coffee shops there, but now they've been overrun by all sorts of 1688 Yiwu goods. Completely unnecessary. 📍Haitan Ancient Town on the southern route: The only place in Pingtan where there are more staff than tourists... As soon as you get here, you're immediately swarmed by waitstaff. It's heavily commercialized, and there's nothing much to see. Worth a visit 📍Xianrenjing: This should be the first stop on your northern trip. I prefer the sea view from the observation deck to the black reef below. Looking out at the endless ocean is truly soothing! 📍Jingsha: The black reef gate is a must-see photo spot in Pingtan. There's a line there... but everyone is very disciplined. It's best to think of your poses before taking photos, otherwise you might get a bit socially awkward after a long period of shooting. 📍Changjiangao: Following the popular travel guide, I arrived here just in time for sunset. The sunset and the white windmills are a perfect match! 📍Dongxiang Island This is my favorite spot. It's a real-life Zelda world. It's the only place in Pingtan that's not commercialized, has beautiful scenery, and is sparsely populated. 📍Houyan Island 68 Nautical Mile Scenic Area This is the closest place in mainland China to Taiwan. For fans of Taiwanese music, film, and culture, this place will melt your heart.

Our family of three completed a three-day, two-night trip to Pingtan and truly appreciated the incredible value of island travel. The trip cost over 3,000 yuan, and we not only had a blast but also enjoyed a plethora of seafood. The savings were far greater than we'd imagined! Here are some tips and pitfalls I've compiled, hoping they'll be helpful. Over the past few days, we've visited all of Pingtan's popular attractions: Dragon King Head sunrise chase, Changjiangao windmill fields, the Northern Ecological Corridor, Tannan Bay Beach, Houyan Island, Xianrenjing, and Xiangbi Bay. We also took some stunning Hanfu photos in Haitan Ancient City. 👉 Things to note: 📍1. Sun protection: Buy high-factor sunscreen and protective clothing in advance, as the island's UV rays are extremely strong. 📍2. Transportation: When renting an electric scooter, choose one with a 200km range to ensure sufficient battery life for your island hopping trip. 📍3. Blue tears: Follow the "Pingtan Blue Tears Forecast" official account to double your chances of seeing them. 📍4. Seafood Market: Buy freshly landed fish directly at the pier; prices are one-third of restaurant prices. 📍5. Houyan Island: The closest point to Taiwan from mainland China (only 68 nautical miles) Here are some key things to note: 👇​ 📍Longwangtou Sunrise: Check the time in advance; it usually occurs around 5:10 AM in the summer. Remember to bring flip-flops! Beach lockers are very expensive. 📍Northern Ecological Corridor: Visit after 4 PM. The Windmill Sea at sunset is breathtaking. There's a line to take photos at the F2 Observation Deck, but it's definitely worth it. 📍Tannan Bay: Choose Tianmeiao Beach for less crowds and beautiful views. Beach chairs require a minimum purchase, so bring your own picnic mat. 📍Seafood Processing: Look for "Yucuo Seafood Stall" for clearly marked prices. We ate there three times in a row, and the mantis shrimp were bigger than my palm! 📍Midnight Snacks: My dad loves Minnan Shacha Hotpot, Wumei Mao Roast Duck, and Lao Ma Zha Market Hotpot, perfect for spicy food lovers. 📍My kids have been enjoying Wenhai Seafood, Maoji Seafood Claypot Porridge, and Nostalgic Fujian Folk Dishes lately, especially the red crab glutinous rice. 📍Xianrenjing: Tickets are required, but the popular black reef area is very slippery, so wearing non-slip shoes is recommended. Mornings are less crowded, making it easier to take good photos. 📍Chasing Blue Tears: Never trust paid guides! July is more frequent, with the highest chance of seeing them in Mojing Village and Changjiangao. 📍If you're stuck for somewhere to go in the evening, I recommend the "Weifushe Art Shop" in the county town. They have a large selection of instant cameras, DIY products, Pingtan cultural and creative products, and art accessories. 📍Accommodation: Hotels in the county town are more convenient than B&Bs, and they offer convenient car rentals and dining options. If you insist on staying in a B&B, I recommend "Waiting for the Wind" in Beibu Gulf. In the end, I was incredibly satisfied with my three-day, two-night trip to Pingtan. 🏖️ I got to enjoy all the seafood and the stunning ocean views. If you have more time, you should definitely try some sea catching! I hope everyone can experience the blue romance of Pingtan.

Don’t want to squeeze into popular spots? This lesser-known Pingtan guide is for savvy travelers! Escape the crowds for two days and enjoy the island’s peaceful romance～ Day 1: Chase a “Sea of No One” Morning: Leisurely stroll in Beigang Village Don’t rush straight to 68 Nautical Miles! First, visit the old stone houses in Beigang Village—stone houses covered in greenery. Walk along the coastal path to see fishermen’s drying nets and small fishing boats docked by the shore. Every snapshot feels like a “sea island lifestyle” masterpiece. There’s a bench café at the village entrance; order an iced Americano and sit by the window, watching the sea breeze sway the reeds—ten times more comfortable than crowded attractions! Afternoon: See the “Pristine Beach” on Dongxiang Island Take a boat from Liushui Pier to Dongxiang Island (book tickets in advance on “Pingtan Passenger Transport”), just 20 minutes away! Don’t take the sightseeing bus on the island; rent a small electric scooter to explore—highly recommend “Xiaobei Village Beach,” almost deserted. The sand is fine and white, the water so clear you can see tiny shells. Barefoot wading and chasing crabs feels like discovering a hidden private bay. Evening: Listen to the sea and eat seafood in Beigang Village Stay overnight in a stone house guesthouse in Beigang Village, preferably one with a small courtyard! In the evening, order seafood at a small restaurant by the guesthouse entrance. The owner catches and cooks fresh seafood on the spot. Try the “steamed grouper” and “oyster omelet,” paired with a local beer. Sitting in the courtyard listening to the waves crashing is much more soothing than noisy snack streets～ Day 2: Wait for a “Limited Light and Shadow” Morning: See “Mountain and Sea in One Frame” at Maotouqian Get up early and head to Maotouqian! Navigate to the “Maotouqian Viewing Platform.” The route is a bit winding but worth it—standing on the platform, you see green hills plunging into the blue sea, with white fishing boats occasionally drifting by, like a scene from a painting. Very few people here, so you can quietly take photos for half an hour without disturbance. Afternoon: “Pretend You’re Abroad” at Dafu Bay Visit the “White Boardwalk” at Dafu Bay! The boardwalk is built along the rocks, ending at a small pavilion. Standing in the pavilion looking at the sea, the left side shows a blue bay, the right side scattered rocks. When the sun is out, the water shimmers blue-green. Add a filter to your photos and it looks like a Southeast Asian island～ Evening: “Warm Up with a Bite” at Haitan Ancient City No need to tour the ancient city—head straight to the snack street! Try “Shilaiyunzhuan” (a Pingtan specialty snack with glutinous rice skin wrapped around seafood filling), and a bowl of “fish ball soup,” warm and comforting. After eating, take a stroll by the river at the ancient city gate, enjoy the evening breeze, and wrap up your two-day trip～ Tips and Reminders • Rent an electric scooter with long battery life! Some places on the northern route are far apart, running out of power halfway would be troublesome～ • Bring a light jacket! The sea breeze is strong in the morning and evening, especially on cloudy days, it can get chilly～ • No need to specifically chase the “Blue Tears”! The peak season is May to August, but it depends on luck. Encountering it by chance is even more exciting～ Pingtan’s beauty isn’t just in the popular check-in spots. Take your time exploring, and you’ll find the sea breeze, deserted beaches, and roadside eateries are the most comfortable things of all～💙
