I've been back for several days now, and finally have time to write this. I hope it will be helpful for those planning a trip to Pingtan and choosing a guesthouse. I spent a long time selecting this particular guesthouse, and it truly didn't disappoint! 😊 My writing isn't great, so I'll just ramble on as I think of things.
First, there are many guesthouses in Pingtan, and many of them look beautiful in pictures, making it really difficult to choose. I usually consider both positive and negative reviews, especially paying attention to the negative ones 😂 So I hope my review is objective. All the photos are mine; I actually took many, but I've selected a few from different angles.
Second, let me talk about this guesthouse. It's located near the northern route, halfway up a mountain. The coastal road below is the most beautiful ring road around the island, offering scenic views of the northern route along the way, which is very convenient.
When I arrived, the receptionist was very kind; he rushed out to help me with my luggage as soon as I got out of the car. Because it's the off-season, they upgraded my view from a 180-degree sea view to a 270-degree sea view for free, which was a truly unique and delightful experience. I didn't leave the house all afternoon, just stayed on the balcony and sat in the courtyard enjoying the scenery – it was incredibly relaxing. They even provided complimentary afternoon tea. Although the weather wasn't great, it didn't stop me from unwinding and feeling completely relaxed. Plus, the area around the pool, which is usually a public area, felt like I had the whole place to myself because there were so few people.
The guesthouse consists of several buildings, all small two-story structures. I personally prefer choosing rooms on the second floor with good views and layouts; since I was already there, the experience was more important. I didn't see the sunrise this time, which means I'll definitely come back next time.
