YD Seaview Restaurant

Located on the most beautiful ring road on the northern line, this sea view restaurant is full of Santorini style and is perfect for taking photos.

So addictive! You might not want to leave once you're here, you'll want to leave your heart in this blue sea! 🌊 I've compiled a super comprehensive guide, so you can avoid pitfalls and easily find the must-see spots! 🌅 Must-see attractions: A romantic journey through mountains and sea North Route: Chasing the sea without looking back - Fairy Well: The natural sea cave is absolutely stunning! Giant waves crash against the rocks, creating a white mist. Don't forget to photograph the rainbow path next to it – it's incredibly refreshing! 🌈 (Tips: Wear non-slip shoes, the rocks are very slippery!) - Beigang Village: The stone houses are scattered in a charming way, hiding the secret that "the stones can sing." Sitting in a fishing village cafe in the afternoon watching the sea is incredibly therapeutic. ☕ - Mirror Sand: Black sand beach with white windmills – perfect for dark-themed photos. Be prepared to queue for the popular photo frames, so arrive 10 minutes early! 📸 - Changjiang'ao: A divine sunset spot! As dusk falls, the windmills are bathed in golden-red hues, the sea breeze caresses your hair, and even your breath carries a romantic atmosphere 🌇 South Route: A Journey to Mountains, Sea, and Faith - Longwangtou Beach: Don't miss the sunrise at 5 AM! The sea shimmers with golden light, every snapshot is wallpaper-worthy 🌞 - 68 Nautical Mile Scenic Area: The closest point to Taiwan, check out the "Closest Point Between Mainland China and Taiwan" monument—a moment to ignite patriotic fervor 🇨🇳 - Tannan Bay: The sand is so fine it feels like walking on cotton. Enjoy swimming and splashing during the day, and perhaps even witness bioluminescent plankton at night (highest probability in April and May) 💧 - Beibu Gulf Ecological Corridor: Drive through the mountains and sea, each viewing platform offers a unique seascape, every snapshot a masterpiece 🖼️ Cultural Bonus: Be sure to see "Pingtan Impression"! Director Yang Liping's oriental aesthetic feast brought intangible cultural heritages like rattan shield exercises and the "Sending Off the King Boat" to the stage, leaving me breathless throughout! 👏 🦐 Food Frenzy: The Secrets to the Freshness of the Island - A Lucky Break: Pingtan's Must-Have Snacks! Sweet potato starch wrappers encase seafood and vegetables, soft, chewy, and fragrant, with a super auspicious meaning—a must-try freshly made! 🥟 - Seafood Claypot Congee: A 20-year-old establishment at Mao Ji's main branch, the congee base is freshly cooked with fresh shrimp and crab—one bite and you'll be amazed by its freshness! (Beware of queues during peak season!) 🦀 - Oyster Omelet: Unlike the Minnan style, the Pingtan version has more sweet potato starch, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, a perfect match with sweet chili sauce 🌶️ - Seaweed and Meat Soup: A soup made with local specialty seaweed, with a fresh and tender texture, perfect with snacks to cleanse the palate and warm the stomach 🍜 - Sea U Cloud Top Seaview Restaurant: Enjoy seafood while gazing at the azure sea—both the scenery and the taste are top-notch, perfect for a date or a photo opportunity 💑 🚗 Transportation Guide: Avoiding Pitfalls External Transportation - High-speed rail directly to Pingtan Station; taxis or car rentals are readily available upon exiting the station. It only takes 30 minutes from Fuzhou—super convenient! 🚄 - Driving to the island offers more freedom! Enjoy the sea breeze with your car windows open along the coastal highway, and stop anytime to take photos of the scenery (Note: Speed ​​limits are 60 km/h on some sections, so don't exceed the limit!). Island Transportation - Renting an electric scooter is super cost-effective! Only 50-80 yuan per day. The attractions on the northern route are close together, making for a very pleasant ride chasing the wind (Avoid: Don't rent a "low-speed electric scooter" as it's restricted on some sections). 🛵 - Public transportation is not very convenient. Attractions are scattered and services are infrequent. It's recommended to carpool or rent a scooter in a group to save time and effort. ⚠️ Avoid these pitfalls: 1. Seeing blue tears is a matter of luck! Don't believe claims of "100% visibility." April-May and July-August are peak seasons. Check the "Pingtan Blue Tears Warning" mini-program in advance 🔍 2. Book accommodation in advance during peak season! 1. B&B prices double in July and August. Accommodation in the county town offers good value. Seaside B&Bs are suitable for those seeking a vacation experience (don't believe false advertising like "walking to the beach," ask for the exact distance). 🏨 2. Ask about prices at seafood stalls first! I recommend restaurants like Adi Specialty Seafood Restaurant with clearly marked prices to avoid "sky-high" seafood prices. It's best to watch them weigh the seafood. 🦞 3. Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! The sea breeze and UV rays are intense. Without sunscreen, you'll get three shades darker in no time. Physical sunscreen is also essential. 🧴 4. Don't try to do too much! The attractions are spread out; you can't cover the north and south routes in one day. I suggest splitting your trip into two days, otherwise you'll be exhausted. 💥 #PingtanIsland #PingtanIslandTravelGuide #PingtanTourism #PingtanRomanticSunriseViewing #FujianTravel
