Pingtan Volunteer Secret Spot! Zhaiding is the Hidden Gem

I've been volunteering at a homestay in Pingtan for almost a month! A local sister took me to Zhaiding, this hidden gem, and it's truly breathtaking to the point of speechlessness 😭 Avoid the crowded Longwangtou; the sea and sunset here are simply divine! 🚗 About the route: It's super convenient to ride an electric scooter from the county town! Just navigate to "Zhaiding," and it takes about 20 minutes. Along the way, you'll pass vast fields of stone houses and windmills, perfect for snapping photos with a Japanese movie vibe! Near the destination, there's a winding mountain road, so remember to slow down and be careful~ 📸 Photo spots guide: 1. Mountain top viewing platform: Overlooking the entire blue bay, with windmills slowly turning nearby. On sunny days, photos come out with a natural filter. It's best to go after 3 PM when the light is soft and not harsh. 2. Coastal rocky beach: At low tide, you can walk onto the rocks. Have a friend shoot from a high angle to capture the waves crashing—this instantly amps up the atmosphere! 3. Stone house alley: The stone houses at the foot of the mountain are very distinctive. With fishing nets and boats as the background, you instantly transform into a fisher girl photo model. 💡 Volunteer thoughtful tips: ✔️ Be sure to apply sunscreen! The UV rays by the sea are strong; I've already gotten three shades darker 😭 ✔️ Bring a pair of non-slip shoes; the rocks have algae and can be slippery ✔️ Stay until evening to watch the sunset; the orange glow on the sea is so romantic you'll want to daydream right there ✔️ There are no convenience stores nearby, so remember to bring water and snacks in advance This place is perfect for zoning out. Sitting on the rocks listening to the waves, all worries just blow away~ If you're coming to Pingtan, don't just rush to the popular spots. This hidden gem is worth the visit! ✨
