Do you know about Houyan Island on Pingtan Island?

Houyan Island in Pingtan, Fujian Province, is the closest place on the Chinese mainland to Taiwan, and there is a stone tablet on the island inscribed with the words 'The closest distance between the motherland's mainland and Taiwan Island is 68 nautical miles.' However, the entire Houyan Island, as far as the eye can see, is all rocks. Because it stands by the sea, it is subjected to the erosion of wind and waves all year round, so the island is full of rugged rocks with sparse vegetation, which is a typical representative of Pingtan Island where 'only rocks grow, not grass.' This morning, we took a taxi from the main urban area of Pingtan to Hou Island. Upon entering the scenic area, you can either walk or take a sightseeing bus. It is important to pay attention to sun protection, and the tour takes about 1-2 hours.
