It's the most beautiful season in Pingtan again, and here's a guide to the northern route for you to keep
Unique stone houses, vast sea windmills,
Lonely beach sunsets, beautiful island ring roads,
——This is Pingtan, Fujian,
Due to limited time on this trip, I took my child to play the northern route of Pingtan in a day and a half.
🌟Route: Xianrenjing—Beigang Village—The most beautiful island ring road—Jingsha—Stay in Tanshui Village—Changjiangao—S Bay Fairy Tale Town—Windmill Forest Road—Northern Bay Ecological Corridor
🌈Popular spots on the northern route:
1️⃣Xianrenjing: Here you can see cliffs and sea erosion wonders, like a mountain split in the middle, with goose soft stone scattered at the bottom of the valley, and the surging waves in front.
2️⃣Beigang Village: A cultural and creative village that became famous because of the filming location of 'Where Are We Going, Dad?', but I don't think there's anything special, just a small village by the sea with stone houses, most of which have been converted into homestays. It's suggested that you can skip this place ❌
3️⃣The most beautiful island ring road: A ring road between Beigang and Changjiangao, with sunshine ☀️ beaches 🏖️, windmill fields, etc., and some corners of the road can be surprisingly open and beautiful, better seen with eyes than captured in photos 📸. There are many snack stalls along the road where you can eat while strolling.
4️⃣Jingsha: Known as the 'Little Iceland'! Besides the beach, there is also a large area of black volcanic rock. On the left side of the beach, there is a black rock cave resembling Iceland's blue ice cave, where many people queue up to take photos. You can only enter during low tide, but the bottom rocks are sharp, so it's not recommended to take children there for photos. The black rocks by the sea are also photogenic.
5️⃣Tanshui Village Internet-famous swing: 📍Tanshui Village Committee, there will be signs by the road when you are close. It costs 10 yuan per person to swing for photos, and it's very photogenic with blue sky and white clouds, but I think it's a bit expensive.
Tanshui Village has opened quite a few homestays, the environment here is relatively quiet, close to the Changjiangao night market, and dining is within walking distance. It's also a frequent area for blue tears, recommended for those who like quiet.
I stayed at the Gucheng Jiuyu Homestay in Tanshui Village, with a very high first floor, a new environment, and an outdoor hot spring pool connected to hot water. This season, after the children play in the sea, they can soak in the hot water in the pool.
6️⃣Changjiangao: Super suitable for sunset photos, and when the weather is good, you can also see the windmill sunset orange sea. Dining is convenient, with many restaurants nearby, as well as a night market for you to choose from.
7️⃣S Bay Fairy Tale Town: 📍Yutang Branch Line, the lighting is beautiful when the weather is good, and the red-roofed church in the distance is very photogenic.
8️⃣Windmill Forest Road: At the end of the road are large windmills, forming a clear contrast with the size of people.
9️⃣Northern Bay Corridor: Pingtan viewing walkway, here you have glass walkways~postcard frames~message in a bottle beach~ring sea road
🌈Travel suggestions:
✅The seaside wind is too strong, don't wear short skirts! It's not recommended to let your hair down!
✅The UV rays at the beach are particularly strong, be sure to protect yourself from the sun! Reapply sunscreen frequently!
✅Don't blindly follow trends for photo spots! The coastal scenery is nice, and it's most comfortable to stroll and eat at a leisurely pace
✅When playing by the sea, pay attention to the tides and waves, and focus on your own safety!!
✅Although electric bikes are convenient, if the weather is too hot and it's not a holiday peak season, driving a car would be more comfortable.
Xianrenjing Scenic Area, provincial geological park. It consists of Xianrenjing, Xianrendong, Xianren Valley and other landscapes, and rare sea erosion landforms in China. Xianrenjing is 40 meters deep, natural sea erosion shaft, and there are three small wells at the bottom that are connected to the sea. The waves beat the reef and roll up the dry layer of waves.
The first stop of Xianrenjing's North Line tour took about 2 hours. It was very convenient to buy tickets on Trip.com. It was used as you buy. There were really many tourists in the scenic spot. The scenery was OK. I personally think that the tickets are not expensive and worth a visit!
The play area is not big, there are fairy wells, fairy valleys, observation decks, etc. When I went there that day, the weather was not good, and the visibility of the sea mist was low from time to time. So you must choose good weather.
The well is more than 47 meters deep and the diameter of the well is more than 50 meters. The water in the well is like a "trapped dragon", hitting the rock wall, lifting huge clusters of white waves, the sound of the waves is extremely spectacular. The cactus well is a sea erosion skylight formed by the erosion of the waves, and the volcanic rock collapses along the multi-group joint gravity. In general, that is, the volcanic rock of Xianrenjing is distributed in many groups of joints, the color is divided and broken, and the sea water is constantly corroded along the joint group to form a sea erosion hole. The sea water can't get out through the sea erosion hole, and it will continue to erode the surrounding area of the hole, thus forming a relatively large-scale sea erosion hollowing area. Because the bottom rock layer was hollowed out, the upper rock layer collapsed and formed the fairy well. There are several legends about the fairy well, including "Dragon Palace Treasure", "Dragon Palace Play Music", "18 Bachelor Stone", "Iron Guai Li Die for the Well", "Jin Guanyin" is the most famous.
The scenery of Pingtan is so good, there are mountains and waters, that is, there are more people now, not as convenient as before, and the overall is good. Xianrenjing is a combination of landscapes and rivers. It is very popular and the attractions are not big, so it is very easy to play and it is worth a visit!
