Embrace the Blue of Pingtan on Sunny Days

The blue tears season on Pingtan Island is coming soon🌊! This hidden gem island is the perfect summer getaway for escaping the heat and enjoying the sea. A 4-day, 3-night itinerary will take you along the most beautiful coastline, and you might even catch the romantic blue tears~ 💙 Blue Tears Chasing Guide: DAY1: 📍 Beibuwan Ecological Corridor: Must visit at dusk for breathtaking sunsets and distant views of windmill farms 📍 Changjiang'ao Windmill Farm: Perfect for silhouette photos of windmills at dusk, and the nearby beach is a hotspot for blue tears 🏨 Accommodation Suggestion: Stay near Beibuwan for newer homestays and proximity to blue tears spots DAY2: 📍 Tannan Bay: Pingtan's cleanest beach with flour-soft sand, ideal for sunbathing and swimming in the afternoon 📍 Houyan Island: The closest point on mainland China to Taiwan - only 68 nautical miles away! The red sightseeing path is super photogenic 🍴 Food Recommendation: Try the spicy salted mantis shrimp at the "Seafood Street Stalls" near Tannan Bay DAY3: 📍 Xianrenjing (Immortal Well): Dramatic black reefs contrast with white waves, creating stunning photos even on cloudy days 📍 Beigang Cultural Village: An artistic village where "stones can sing", filled with trendy cafes and homestays ⚠ Note: Check tide times for Xianrenjing - high tide is more spectacular but be cautious DAY4: 📍 Maotouqian: 360-degree unobstructed sea views, climb the observation deck for panoramic views of the Pingtan Strait 📍 Dafu Bay: Spend your last day relaxing by the sea here, the white arch bridge is an Instagram-worthy spot 💡 Practical Tips: 1️⃣ Best months for blue tears are April-June, with higher success rates after 8pm 2️⃣ Rent an electric bike (80-100 yuan/day) for convenient island transportation 3️⃣ Sunscreen is a MUST! The UV rays by the sea are extremely strong 4️⃣ Try the famous local "Shisanmei Salty Rice Time Shop" in town, a beloved old establishment
