CUI JIANG

Taste: Silver chestnut fried chicken (Langweixianwei) tastes good, the fried chicken is freshly made, the skin is crispy, the meat is tender, and the juice is rich. The fried chicken is sprinkled with Langweixian powder, which is slightly sweet, but just right. Amber fried chicken has a sweet and spicy taste, the spiciness is very low, and the skin is not so crispy because it is wrapped in sauce. But this tastes good the next day Environment: Very good, very elegant Service: Not bad, no separate charge for takeout

Fuzhou + Pingtan 3 Days, 2 Nights | From Three Lanes and Seven Alleys to 68 Nautical Miles, I See All the Mountains and Seas of Fujian in Two Days 💙🌊 A Spontaneous Getaway— Departing from Hangzhou 🚄 and arriving in Rongcheng by high-speed train at dawn. Three days and two nights, I wandered through ancient alleyways and chased the vibrant lights of the East China Sea. It turns out the romance of Fujian lies not only in Xiamen, but also between Fuzhou and Pingtan. 📍Day 1: Fuzhou: A Cultural Stroll Arrived at Fuzhou Station early this morning and checked into the Good Luck Hotel 🏨. Perfectly located near the subway station, clean and comfortable, and a fantastic value! Head straight to [Three Lanes and Seven Alleys] 🏛️ China's most complete preserved Tang and Song alleyway layout, featuring winding bluestone streets and hidden residences of Lin Juemin, Bing Xin, and Yan Fu among whitewashed walls and black tiles. 📚 Must-see: The "Love Tree" on Nanhou Street offers a gentle and romantic photo opportunity. Avoid: The "most beautiful corner" in Wanchun Lane can be crowded, so avoid visiting during peak hours or skipping it. In the afternoon, visit [Yantai Mountain Park] 🌿 for a charming collection of old villas and river views. Then, explore the adjacent [Yantai Mountain Commercial Strolling District] ☕ and enjoy a cup of Tangmo Tea. Every photo you take will look like a retro film! 📍Day 2: Fuzhou → Pingtan | A Day of Wind and Sea Take the high-speed train directly to [Pingtan Station] in 38 minutes this morning. 🚄Rent an electric scooter from the station. 🛵 (Highly recommended! Taxis are difficult to find). Start your island hopping adventure: Houyan Island 📍The closest point from mainland China to Taiwan is 68 nautical miles! A stone tablet inscribed with "Until the motherland is unified, compatriots long for reunion" instantly broke my heart. Jingsha Village: A quiet fishing village with colorful houses and an abandoned lighthouse, a hidden gem 📸 Changjiangao Windmill Farm: Giant white ships stand on the golden beach, and the sunset light and shadows are breathtaking 🌅 If you have more time, add the [Xianrenjing] basalt wonders or the [Beibu Gulf Corridor] coastline views. 📍Day 3: Longwangtou Sunrise + Return Although I didn't see it in person 🌅, the photos I saw online of the Longwangtou sunrise are truly stunning! The sea surface glows golden, and waves gently lap on the beach. I recommend waking up early for a swim! Return before noon: Pingtan → Fuzhou → Hangzhou, with smooth high-speed rail connections throughout 🚄 🍜Recommended food: Fuzhou: Tongli Meat-Dumplings (the fish balls are also delicious!), Cuijiang Fried Chicken (a great takeout spot 🔥), Daofeng Taiwanese Food (the oyster omelet is amazing) Pingtan: Lin Ji/Mao Ji Chaoshan Clay Pot Porridge (fresh and warm), Hot and Sour Seafood Soup (a great late-night snack) 💡Quick Tips: 🔹Sunscreen! Sunscreen! The UV rays at the beach are off the charts, so an umbrella is essential. 🔹 Pingtan's attractions are scattered, so renting an e-mule is the most convenient option (50 yuan/day). 🔹 For accommodation in Pingtan, Haitan Ancient Town or Beigang Village are more cost-effective options. This B&B is average. 💰 Total cost: Transportation 400 + Accommodation 300 + Food 250 + Car Rental and Tickets 150, ≈ 1,100 yuan. 📌 Summary: This trip was neither rushed nor rushed, featuring the depth of history and the vastness of the ocean. If you only have three days off, would be wise to combine Fuzhou and Pingtan and experience the authentic dual beauty of Fujian. #FuzhouTravel#PingtanIslandGuide#FujianNon-Spot Tours#High-SpeedRailTravel#CoupleShortTrip @TravelPotato
