Gulangyu Island
We've arrived! A must-see for couples. It lives up to its name, the Qin Island. This beautiful, rich, and artistic island blends European and Southern Fujian culture. Transportation is convenient, and the boat ride from Xiamen Port takes only ten minutes. Highly recommended!
A visit to Xiamen is a must-do on Gulangyu Island. There are no cars on the island. After taking the morning ferry from Dongdu to Sanqiutian Wharf, you can stroll through a variety of buildings and private residences, surrounded by azure sea and sky. After visiting the attractions included in your combined ticket, you'll essentially complete your island tour before leaving by taking the evening ferry from Neicuo'ao Wharf. Gulangyu is also known as the Piano Island, and the Organ Art Center offers regular organ performances and exhibitions of various pianos and organs, offering a truly immersive artistic experience.

It is worth going. Pingtan highlights: the island scenery is beautiful, the blue tears are wonderful and dreamy, the road around the island is comfortable, the stone ancient village is unique, and the seafood is delicious. There are also wind power fields, elephant nose bay and other net red punch points, which is a good place for leisure and vacation.
The beauty of Pingtan Island is a rhapsody unleashed by the Creator. Stretching along 408 kilometers of coastline, the basalt canyons of Xianrenjing (Fairy Well) appear to have been carved by a giant axe. At low tide, stepping into the 47-meter-deep well, waves crashing against the black reef stir up thousands of snowdrifts. The slanting morning light feels like stepping into the secret realms of Iceland. Sunsets at Changjiangao are a visual wonder: a 3,000-acre array of windmills is reflected on the mirror-like beach. When the tide recedes, pink-blue shells scatter like stardust. At night, "blue tears" sparkle with the waves, like diamonds scattered on deep blue silk. Even more remarkable is the preservation of the character of a pristine fishing island. The clifftop road of the northern ecological corridor connects the colorful stone houses of Baisheng Village. Fishermen's nets hanging out to dry tremble in the wind, and the salty sea breeze carries an untamed wildness.
For nine years, Pingtan has strived to balance development and conservation, anchored by an international style and youthful fashion. Smart tourism systems are already bearing fruit: Longwangtou Beach features real-time visitor flow monitoring, automatic flushing pools, and smart public toilets, significantly enhancing the visitor experience. The integration of culture and tourism is also a highlight: the Keqiutou Site Museum condenses 7,000 years of Austronesian civilization into an immersive exhibition; the "Planet Calling" Seaview Theater in Tannan Bay uses light and shadow to recreate the spectacle of the Blue Tears, bringing culture from the academic realm to the masses. However, over-commercialization is encroaching on some corners: the ancient architectural complex of Haitan Ancient City has been reduced to a cookie-cutter Yiwu small commodity market, and the throngs of people jostling for photo spots at the "Eye of the Strait" observation deck on Houyan Island often leave travelers feeling a sense of loss.
Pingtan's ambitions extend beyond being a popular online destination. Events such as the International Kiteboarding Festival and the F4 Racing Carnival ignite excitement along the coast. Sailing activities at Pier 22 allow visitors to transition from simply "watching the sea" to "playing in it," signaling its progress toward becoming a full-time vacation destination. However, shortcomings remain: the public transportation network is weak, and the infrequent island-wide bus service forces tourists to rely on expensive chartered vehicles. Some homestays advertised as "sea view rooms" are actually located in remote villages, making the bumpy dirt roads a heart-wrenching journey home late at night. By strengthening ecological protection (for example, limiting commercial development along the northern corridor) and cultivating its unique cultural heritage (for example, reviving the intangible cultural heritage of rattan shield exercises), this "island closest to Taiwan" can truly become the Hawaii of the East.
Pingtan is a gem sculpted by sea and wind—it boasts some of China's finest coastal scenery and stunning starry nights, yet it continues to vacillate between extensive development and sophisticated operations. If restrained craftsmanship replaces the short-sighted pursuit of traffic, it will surely shine as the brightest pearl of the Strait.

The environment is picturesque and makes people linger. As soon as they come in, they are attracted by the scenery of nature, the beautiful mountains and rivers, and the earthen buildings. The locals are very warm and simple, and the consumption is reasonable.
I like the ancient banyan trees, the earthen buildings, the mountains and rivers here, and the people here are very friendly. The only thing I don’t like here is the business. The villagers come out to set up their own stalls, which is too monotonous! It lacks fun!

The scenery on the boat is very beautiful and the overall fun is also very strong. I have been on Guangzhou and other Shanghai boats before, but the culture on this boat is not as good. The entertainment activities on this boat are very motivating. But the meal is just average. I went there late at night and there was nothing to eat. Although there was always food to eat, the variety became very limited.
The night cruise on the Xiamen ferry was amazing! The sea breeze was so comfortable, and the night view of Gulangyu Island looked like it was covered in stars. The buildings outlined by the lights were so charming. You could also watch the light show on both sides of the strait. It was so relaxing to chat in the breeze. It was worth the price of admission!

I really like the Taoist concept of "Tao follows nature". I came here for the reason that "Laozi is the best in the world". I like it very much. It takes some time to walk down the mountain after taking the bus. The scenery is good. I will come again next time if I have the chance.
Laojun Rock was featured in a video about Aerial Photography of China, so I came here because of its reputation.
In the tourist-heavy Quanzhou, it's a quiet spot, sparsely populated. Laojun Rock isn't hidden very far, and you'll find it after a short hike.
It's a relatively natural scenic spot, primarily for hiking, so it's not very interesting.
It's said that there's no entrance fee in the morning or evening, but the regular price is 70 yuan for adults and 35 yuan for children/students, which is a bit steep.
It's said that if you hike further, you'll find some scenic spots and teatimes. Our visit was rather haphazard, so this review isn't comprehensive, so it's for reference only.

The earth buildings are scattered throughout a village. It is recommended to stay overnight. The night view is quite beautiful. I personally recommend hiring a tour guide, or just taking a quick look. Many residents still live in the earth buildings, which are very lively.
The Chengqi Tower, the king of earthen buildings, boasts a stunning architecture. Its massive 73-meter diameter and over 400 rooms, a structure of circles within circles, a circle within a circle, exemplifies the masterful architectural skills of the ancients. Its rich cultural heritage allows visitors to experience the Hakka people's dedication to traditional virtues. The scenic beauty of Chengqi Tower, nestled between mountains and water, is surrounded by dozens of large and small earthen buildings, both round and square. The area boasts comprehensive amenities and a restaurant. However, the area is heavily commercialized, with some of the local guides being indigenous, who offer less than professional explanations and high ticket prices.

It's definitely worth a visit. I'd definitely go again, but it's not suitable for men. The ancient architecture, the laid-back atmosphere, the cool weather—who would have thought this was Fuzhou in July?! The shops were all fantastic, and I didn't miss a thing. I explored all the cultural and creative areas, and the alleys are unique. I was completely satisfied with both the food and the drinks.
Meals: I didn't miss anything at Old Fuzhou. I ate there twice in a row. It's great value, but there's a line. I went to Zhuzifang after hearing a recommendation, but it was just average.
The meals were so good that I didn't have room for the snacks. I couldn't finish the peanut soup, taro balls, and brown sugar egg tarts. 😅
I'm a three-dimensional photographer, but the difference isn't huge. It's mainly the AI editing. I've lost myself in the experience; it's all about the experience. Otherwise, I'd regret it.
I live nearby, check in at the Love Tree, and take photos anytime. It's stunning.
Strolling through the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys feels like unfolding half of modern Chinese history. Bluestone pavements connect the Ming and Qing dynasty houses of Yijinfang and Wenrufang, where saddle-walls and carved doors and windows speak of the craftsmanship of Fujian. Beneath the heart-shaped banyan tree of Nanhou Street, tourists scramble to check in. Around the corner, you'll stumble upon the curling steam of the Tongli Meat-Dumpling Shop, where a bowl of wontons wrapped in bird's nest skin is deliciously chewy.
The fusion of Chinese and Western styles in the flower hall of Yan Fu's former residence and the Tang-style courtyard of the Xiaohuanglou evoke memories of the translation of "Evolution and Ethics" and the poetic charm of the Tenghua Yinguan. The caisson ceiling of the waterside stage reflects the shimmering waters, while nighttime Minnan opera performances resonate with a century of elegance. Occasionally encounter a book engraver performing a bronze figure "Awakening," or a jasmine tea stall in the Song-style market—past and present intertwine here.
Here, Lin Zexu's courage, Bing Xin's eloquence, and Lin Juemin's "Letter to My Wife" are all captured deep within the alleys of white walls and black tiles.

Choosing Dongshan Island for this trip was a real smart decision! The blue and white houses of Nanmen Bay are full of artistic charm. The Sufengshan Ring Road is half mountain and half sea, the scenery is breathtaking. The seafood is fresh and affordable, and the squid and grouper were incredibly satisfying. Renting an electric scooter for a ride was relaxing and relaxing. I highly recommend it to everyone!

The location is amazing! It's a 3-minute walk to the beach. The kids love it here. It's a very beautiful island. The B&B is clean and hygienic. WiFi, hot water, and air conditioning are OK. This is enough. The room is very cost-effective. One room can accommodate two people in a standard room.
Putian, Fujian, is definitely worth the trip. The waters are clear, the island scenery is beautiful, and the people are friendly and kind. While the island's attractions are underdeveloped and there's little entertainment, it's nice and romantic to just relax and enjoy the sea breeze and daydream. Food is affordable, and the people of Putian are pleasant, polite, and courteous. The incense sold at Mazu is also very affordable. All in all, everything went smoothly and was worth it. The boat ticket to the island includes the Mazu ticket, which covers both the round-trip journey.
