The Most Asked-About Fujian Coastal Road Trip! A Dream Come True for Road Trippers!

Fujian's 3,752-kilometer coastline hides China's wildest romance!🌊 No need to chase attractions—just roll down your windows, and you'll have the entire Pacific Ocean as your soundtrack~🎶 Here’s where to go on the viral Fujian coastal road trip👉 🌟 Must-Visit Hidden Gems Along the Way **First Stop: Ningde** 1. **Donghai No.1 Coastal Road** A 100 km cliffside highway with the blue-and-white Haiwei Castle🏰 Windmill forests, rainbow rest stops—every pullover is photo-ready! (Winds are strong by the cliffs—hold onto your hats!) 2. **Sunset at Dongbi Village** Golden tidal flats, fishing boats returning to harbor🌅 Stay at a 270° infinity pool B&B and watch the sky melt into the sea. Pro tip: Capture mirror-like tidal reflections + silhouettes of fishing rafts—super photogenic! 3. **Xiawei Island Sea Erosion Cave** Step into a 100-million-year-old cave framing a crystal-clear sea Reachable by a 5-min walk at low tide—photos here are unreal📸 (Watch your step—wear non-slip shoes!). **Second Stop: Pingtan** 1. **Dalian Island’s “Sky Gate”** A 20m-tall sea-eroded arch only accessible at low tide! Walk on colorful pebble beaches, dig for wild abalone, and catch crabs🦀 (Take them home for free!). 2. **Northern Ecological Corridor** Windmills + glass walkway + bioluminescent sea🌌 Though July misses the peak "blue tears" season, the starry Milky Way is still breathtaking. **Third Stop: Quanzhou** 1. **Luojia Temple, Shishi** A temple rising from the sea, where you gaze at the ocean from sacred halls!⛩️ At high tide, it floats alone on emerald waves—like a "Buddhist paradise" at sunset. 2. **Xunpu Fishing Village** Wear floral hairpins, pose by oyster-shell houses, and be a "daughter of the sea" for a day💐 Must-try seafood: red crab roe and oyster omelets! ⚠️ **Pro Tips** - **Check tide times**: Xiawei Cave, Sky Gate, and other secret spots require low tide access📱. - **Car rental**: Plenty of options in Xiapu/Pingtan (book directly on Trip.com!). Fuel up for long drives. - **Sun protection**: Combine physical + chemical sunscreen—road trips + beaches are a UV double whammy. - **Seafood recs**: Shishi beachside stalls/Xiapu Dajin Fish Market. Razor clams, mudskippers, abalone... feast for ¥50/pax🦞! Where wheels meet waves, half is azure poetry, half is earthly life. This summer, let the free ocean breeze rush through your windows💙
