Pingtan Island. Sandy Bottom: You Can Shoot Desert Scenes in Fujian.

Pingtan is not just about the sea; you can also shoot desert scenes here. Navigate to 'Sandy Bottom' and you'll see a small dirt mound. Don't doubt it; it's just an inconspicuous little yellow dirt mound. Upon closer inspection, it's a large sand pile. Although it doesn't have the vastness of the northwest deserts, it's enough to awe you with its natural beauty. The fine, gentle sand stands firm like a rock, and the wind has carved intricate patterns into the sand pile. Just looking at the photos can be deceiving, making you think you're in a desert 🏜️. Reality makes me marvel at the power of filters. Photo enthusiasts, you should definitely check it out! The location is on the Ring Island Road, which is scenic all the way, with famous spots like Beigang Village and Mirror Sand. You can enjoy the scenery all the way. For those who love taking photos, each spot can take up to 2 hours, haha. 🚗 There's a cement area for parking. The sand pile is right next to it. You can see swings and a few households. No charge for taking photos. ❣️ Helpful tips: Be sure to protect yourself from the sun and sand. The sand underfoot is hot, and when the wind blows, it fills your entire body and hair with sand, which can be quite painful. Wearing a jacket with a hood is especially important; otherwise, the sand will stick to you when you sweat. Make sure to keep small items in a big bag, or they might get buried in the sand and be lost forever. 👗 Outfit suggestions: pure white, pure black, pure red long dresses for a classy look, cargo pants and tank tops for a spicy look, wasteland style, denim or brown western style—all are suitable.
