Going back to Zhangzhou we decided to stopped by Pingtan Island. This island is very peaceful I supposed and I was interested in there houses most of all I just find it great thinking. I suppose it is windy in that island so residents put some stones on their roofs. I think it's fascinating they different houses exterior. I think their main source of income is fishing. I can see a lot of fishing boats and of course some seafood around. It's good to know that there is a place like that in China. It's also popular for it's rock forms it's similar to Bali I would say like there are some interesting rocks where you can the water in it and splashing all over. It is good to travel by car you can stop by anywhere you like. The weather wasn't good at that time though. #tripinspired #tripmoments #tripcom #china #pingtan #fujian #fuzhou #chinatravel

It was the first time for my family to spend the Spring Festival away from home. We decided to travel to Pingtan Island as our destination very early. It was not easy to find a homestay with a first-class sea view. We searched for a long time and chose this one. The picture showed that it was very close to the sea. What finally made us decide was that more than 80 out of more than 180 reviews mentioned that the sea view was invincible. I came here and found that it was much better than I expected. 😘😘😘 🧹Location/Environment: See picture ❤❤🤞The bed and breakfast is located on the most beautiful ring road around the island on the north line of Pingtan, with excellent sea views, endless sea of ​​windmills and a wide field of vision. There is no better, only the best! 🉐🉐 🏘️️️Room type/layout: The B&B faces the sea, and there are many 270-degree sea view rooms. It is the first time I have seen a stone house sea view room with glass walls on both sides. It is not an exaggeration to lie on the bed and watch the sea💋💋 🛌Supplies/Facilities: The rooms are equipped with smart home, Xiaodu service, and large-screen audio-visual facilities. The children love it very much. There is a swimming pool right outside the door. It's a pity that you can only watch it in winter. The B&B has its own parking lot, and the transportation is super convenient. It also provides stylish electric cars with a range of 100 kilometers, which makes travel convenient! 💰️Surrounding facilities: The breakfast at the B&B is very rich, and we had breakfast with a sea view. There are many restaurants within 2 km. Seafood restaurant, Yunding Restaurant in Beilanling is very nice🉑🉑 💗Service quality: The boss and his wife are very enthusiastic and responsive. They also took the initiative to drive us to the surrounding attractions. It is a must👍 🌹Other tips: [One] The scenery in summer must be so beautiful that it makes you cry. Friends who have never been to the beach strongly recommend staying in this sea view B&B. [Two] I heard that the viewing period for blue tears will begin after March. The B&B is close to many blue tears observation points on the northern line, such as Changjiangao/Jingsha/Beigang Village. If you have the chance, you must go and experience it.
