Island Diary - Pingtan (with Strategy Guide)
My Island Diary - Pingtan🐚
Day1️⃣
I encountered a rainy day on the first day. Since I was staying near Longwangtou Beach, I had a big lunch at the McDonald's at Longwangtou at noon🍔. Having brunch by the sea is really amazing. Although it was raining, the sea was still very blue. After eating, I strolled along the beach. The sea breeze was strong and the sky was overcast, which didn't affect my excitement of seeing the sea for the first time at all!!
It's inconvenient when it rains, so I only went to the Fairy Well (ticket🎫 22/person) that day. You can take a small train up the mountain for 8 yuan/person (this is optional, a ten-minute walk will also get you there haha). Fairy Well is indeed a good place to visit on a rainy day, with black rocks, gloomy sky, and the sea, it's great for taking cool photos
Day2️⃣
It was drizzling on the second day too, but it stopped at noon. We rented an electric scooter🛵 (40/day) from the guesthouse downstairs and planned to tour the south line. The first spot was Houyan Island/68 Sea Miles (the closest place to Taiwan), which we just looked at from outside and didn't enter, as it required a ticket.
Then we rode to Tannan Bay, which is my favorite spot among all. Maybe because the weather cleared up in the afternoon, the sea was clear and bright like glass, incredibly beautiful. There were so few people in the off-season, the whole bay was mine. Tannan Bay is really too beautiful, the moment I saw the sea through the pine forest was such a surprise. Because the weather improved a lot, we even waded in the water, and both of us left with a foot full of sand.
We had Linji Chaoshan Seafood Congee Pot, which was really fresh and delicious.
We also chased the sunset and saw an orange sunset on the road, but by the time we got to the beach, there were only two patches of pink afterglow haha
Day3️⃣
Finally, it was a sunny day on the third day. We saved the best weather for the north line and rented an electric scooter again (50/day). We set out early in the morning and went to McDonald's at Longwangtou to buy breakfast to eat while walking by the sea. It was so comfortable with the sun warming us, but unfortunately, there was a thick fog by the sea, and the water was not very blue.
🚩The first stop was Jing Sha, a reef beach where you can go down to take photos📷. The sea shrouded in fog was even more mysterious, with no end in sight.
🚩The second stop was Beigang Village, stone houses built by the sea. We just passed by quickly and took a look around.
🚩The third stop was Changjiang'ao, where you can normally see the Windmill Sea, but due to the fog, we could only vaguely see the big windmills. There are stone beaches and sandy beaches, and many friends were picking crabs, which was interesting.
🚩The fourth stop was Beibu Bay. Because the fog was too thick, we didn't go to the ecological corridor. We just enjoyed the sun and sea breeze in the sunny spots, listening to the sound of the sea. The fog was heavy, but the sun was also strong, and it was very comfortable to bask in.
📝The weather in Pingtan really depends on luck. We checked the weather forecast before and it was all sunny, but after we arrived, the weather changed abruptly. Everyone says the weather forecast is unreliable. Although we didn't see the sunrise and perfect sunset, we still experienced a different sea. Everything is the best arrangement. When there's sun, it's really hot. Both of us got several shades darker when we came back haha

A temporary idea made a bold decision for me, who had always been very cautious. Without any planning or unclear purpose, I embarked on this unexpected trip. When I arrived here, I wanted to see the sunrise and the sea. After nearly three hours'ride, I finally arrived at Pingtan. It is said that Haitan Island is one of the five largest islands in China. After reading the map, I decided to go to Tannan Bay to see the sunrise first. I arrived with excitement. First look around the terrain, then rent a tent, quietly waiting for tomorrow's sunrise. Outside the tent in the evening, there was a pleasant song of tourists, but it was inevitable that there would be a little noise after a long time. Sleeping on the beach at night, you can feel the humidity outside. Let me be frozen. That's a shiver. I set an alarm clock for the morning sunrise at four o'clock. I heard the sound of the alarm in my half-sleep and half-awake. After turning off the alarm, I finally took the first step in my tent at four-thirty. To tell the truth, it was still cold in the morning. Following other people's footsteps occupies the commanding heights, and can clearly see the distance. When we first arrived, there were only a few people. Slowly more and more people came. The color of the sunrise on the sea changed from light to dark. Really, many people take photos to see the sunrise with their SLR cameras and triangular brackets. By contrast, I'm very simple, just a cell phone, and it's almost dead. I cherish that there is no electricity at present. I am afraid that it won't last until the sun comes out. If the sun comes out of the water, my cell phone will turn off automatically. Just keep the original photos. Sometimes the beautiful things can not be recorded. They will be deeply imprinted in the mind and not erased. It's sunrise, the river is red and the water is blue in spring. After watching the sunrise, many people left and went to the beach to play. I also followed them for a few laps and took some beautiful moments. Then he found a new continent, took some pictures, rolled up his trousers legs and barefoot at the seaside. Feeling the gentle breeze passing my cheek, listening to the waves beating on the reef, watching the flocks of seagulls slipping across the sea seems to be an aesthetic picture, as if autumn and autumn are all the same, the clouds and solitary birds fly together! After staying in Tannan Bay for about two hours, I went to Haitan Ancient City. When I first entered the ancient city, I felt the old and mysterious atmosphere. Looking at the retro-style buildings on both sides, it seemed that I had brought me to another world. At the same time, there were many modern colors added here, which brought a different texture to the ancient city. Walking alone in the lonely and long alley touches the scenery, there is a sea building, hip-hop garden, there are folk tunes and intangible cultural heritage performances, let people linger and forget. I left this ancient city in a hurry with a little reluctance and embarked on the way back. The short vacation made me feel the enthusiasm of the people of Pingtan and the unique landscape here. I am glad to have this opportunity to appreciate the special tourism culture of Haitan Island with full curiosity and childishness. Life is a long journey, scenery everywhere!
