But!!! 🧐Yoooo~'s location is perfect! You can see the blue tears just a 15-minute walk from the hotel.

It was both stunning and exciting! ✅Hotel Features 🔸Located halfway up a mountain, with mountains behind and the sea on three sides, the view is so captivating that I couldn't take my eyes off the waves.

The offshore wind turbines and sunset in the distance add a natural filter, satisfying any desire for a tranquil escape! 🔸When the weather is good, you can see seagulls catching fish less than a hundred meters from your balcony. Bribe a seagull, and you'll have fresh fish for dinner! 🔸The rooftop pool offers the best view of the sailboats, providing both visual and experiential delight! ✏️Tips： ❤️Recommended for couples and friends 👭. The rooftop pool is also the most Instagrammable spot! ✅Hotel Services 🔸Public areas include two swimming pools, a restaurant, a library, a traveler's museum (super interesting!!!), a fitness center, a children's play area, and a coffee shop. 🔸The parking lot is large, with charging stations on the ground, perfect for electric vehicles. 🔸The room provides information on Pingtan's dining, entertainment, and tide-pooling guide (don't overlook this!!!). 🔸Blue Tears is a must-try!

| On the island closest to Taiwan, encounter a magical sunrise lit by windmills. When the watch hands passed 4:30 in the morning, I curled up on the rocks of the northern ecological corridor of Pingtan, and the sea breeze, carrying a salty smell, penetrated my jacket. On the dark sea surface in the distance, a very light dark blue color suddenly appeared - this was the whisper of the sea before it woke up. Essential Handbook for Light Chasers The sunrise in Pingtan is a ritual that requires precise calculation. Confirm in advance on the "Pingtan Weather" applet that the probability of morning glow is more than 60%, check the sunrise time for the next day (about 5:10-5:30 in summer), and bring a tripod, gradient gray filter, and thermos cup. In winter, it is recommended to wear a windproof down liner, and in summer, you should prepare mosquito repellent - mosquitoes at the beach don't understand romance. Three magical sun-watching coordinates Longfengtou Beach (25°30'N) is a textbook choice. At five o'clock in the morning on the beach, young people holding PTZs, couples wrapped in blankets and old men taking a morning swim formed a wonderful combination. When the first ray of golden light pierces the clouds, the entire beach will suddenly become quiet, leaving only the sound of waves lapping against the shore and the symphony of shutter clicks. What really made my soul tremble was the Changjiangao windmill field. Heading north along the Ring Island Road, hundreds of white windmills are looming in the morning mist. At sunrise, the rotating blades cut the sunset glow into flowing gold foil, as if entering the other world of "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind". It is recommended to bring a 70-200mm telephoto lens to capture the geometric dialogue between the windmill and the rising sun. Experienced players may wish to challenge the F3 Observation Deck of the Northern Ecological Corridor. You need to drive through the winding village roads here, but the reward is a 270° panoramic sunrise theater. In the morning light, the nearby fishing port, the cross-sea bridge in the middle and the Taiwan Strait in the distance gradually emerge. The mobile phone compass shows that it is only 68 nautical miles away from Hsinchu, Taiwan. The Magic Twelve Hours After Sunrise When the sun completely awakens the island, the real Pingtan begins. At the morning market at the Liushui Town Pier, you can take away freshly-plucked oysters for 5 yuan; walking through the painted stone houses of the Xianshui Village, you can hear the steam coming out of the grandmother's lucky charm (Xianmishi) under the century-old banyan tree; in the afternoon, chase the tide line at the Elephant Trunk Bay and use a drone to record the miracle of beach growth. I always return to Cheung Kong O at sunset. The windmill silhouettes in the twilight and the returning boats on the sea form a long scroll of ink painting, and the B&B owner will tell you: the Milky Way you saw last night actually has thirteen minutes more star tracks every day than the day before. TIPS: 1. After the high-speed rail arrives at Pingtan Station, it is recommended to rent a car and drive yourself (starting from 150 yuan/day) 2. It is recommended to stay at the "Dulu Blue Tears" stone house B&B, which retains the smart room type of traditional residential structure 3. During the blue tears outbreak period from April to June, you can continue to chase the "fluorescent sea" Easter eggs after sunrise While the city is still sleeping, Pingtan's sea breeze has already lifted up the sun of a new day. There is no affectation of internet celebrity filters here, only the most authentic appearance of the sea and time - just like the bowl of cat head dried fish balls that you can only eat when you return from the sea in the early morning, hot and rough, but so fresh that it makes your eyes warm.
