Pingtan Island: Your Summer Escape for Romance and Healing~

🕘【Introduction】 This largest island in Fujian hides countless surprises that will make you scream with delight—it is the closest point on the mainland to Taiwan, with a 68-nautical-mile stone monument symbolizing the deep connection between the two sides. It is also certified by "China National Geographic" as a hotspot for "Blue Tears," with glowing waves resembling a galaxy from April to October each year. Additionally, it features the stone village seen in "Where Are We Going, Dad?" with colorful houses reflecting against the blue sea and sky, creating picturesque scenes reminiscent of Japanese films. Even more remarkable are its rare marine erosion landscapes: the natural vertical sinkhole of Xianren Well leading directly to the East China Sea, and the twin sail-like rocks of Shipaiyang standing tall in the ocean, accompanied by mystical legends—like the mute emperor cutting paper soldiers and Li Tieguai carving a well with his cane.
