Day 1: Old Town Charms & Ancient Alleys Arriving in Fuzhou at dawn, head straight to the "Ming-Qing Architecture Museum" – Three Lanes and Seven Alleys. Cobblestone paths connect the Lin Zexu Memorial Hall and Bingxin's Former Residence, while Yanfu Academy offers snippets of Min Opera performances. The heart-shaped tree at the alley's end is a favorite photo spot. For lunch, try the "Three-in-One" at Tongli Rouyan Old Shop, savoring the springy texture of this intangible cultural heritage dish. Stroll through Shangxiang in the afternoon, where repurposed dock cafes mingle with red-brick ancient houses. At dusk, ascend Liberation Bridge for a panoramic view of Zhongzhou Island's European-style nightscape, with lights painting the Min River.

Yongquan Temple's vegetarian meal (¥15) is hearty, and cliff carvings hide Zhu Xi's calligraphy. At Fujian Museum, admire Dehua white porcelain Guanyin statues, then boat on West Lake Park – though spring cherry blossoms fade, summer lotus breezes enchant. Stay in a Taijiang homestay, then explore Daming Night Market: oyster grilled with shrimp oil paired with icy sweet rice delivers authentic local flavors. Day 3: Pingtan North Route – Windmills & Sea A 30-minute high-speed train to Pingtan begins your North Loop drive. Fairy's black reefs clash with waves for apocalyptic shots, while Beigang Village's stone-house craft stores offer unique souvenirs. Speed along the scenic coastal road to Changjiang'ao's spinning sunset wind turbines. During bioluminescent season, head to Northern Bay Ecological Corridor at night – "blue tears" glow like fallen stars. Day 4: South Route Secrets – Reefs & Sands Await sunrise at Longfengtou Beach, then visit Monkey Yan Island – mainland China's closest point to Taiwan, with alien-like rock formations. Lounge on Tanmen Bay's beanbag chairs with guava smoothies and live music.

Who hasn't chased the sunrise in Pingtan? The clear sky, the sparkling sea, and the gentle sunlight—every scene is breathtakingly beautiful. Here's your guide to chasing the sunrise: Experience 🌃 Get a good night's sleep the night before, set your alarm ⏰, and check the sunrise time for the next day. I recommend arriving at the viewing spot 1–1.5 hours early. My top recommendation is Longwangtou Beach. With its wide, unobstructed views, it's the perfect place to watch the sunrise. Once you arrive, find a flat spot on the beach, set up your equipment, and wait for the sunrise. At first, the sky is a deep blue, but gradually, a glimmer of light appears on the horizon, changing from a fish-belly white to a pale pink. Then, as if lifted by an invisible hand, the sun slowly rises above the sea. In an instant, the world is bathed in golden light. What to Expect The feeling of the first rays of sunlight on your skin is truly indescribable. 🥰 The sea before you transforms into a shimmering orange, with waves gently lapping against the shore, creating a beautiful morning melody. Everyone around is captivated by the beauty, expressing their awe and joy. In that moment, all worries fade away, leaving only reverence for nature and a love for life. What to Bring 📷 Camera: Capture the stunning sunrise. A telephoto lens can capture the sun's details. 🧣 Warm jacket: The morning breeze by the sea can be chilly, so a jacket will keep you warm and comfortable. 👒 Hat: Shield yourself from the sun and add a touch of style to your photos. 🕶 Sunglasses: Protect your eyes from the bright sun and enhance your photos. 🍞 Snacks and water: Stay energized while waiting for the sunrise. Important Notes 🚗 Transportation: If driving, plan your route in advance and be aware of traffic conditions to avoid missing the sunrise. If taking a taxi, book in advance to ensure availability. 👣 Safety: Watch your step on the beach to avoid stepping on shells or rocks. 🌊 Tides: Check the tide times beforehand and avoid lingering in dangerous areas near the water to prevent being swept away by the waves. 🧺 Environmental protection: Take your trash with you after watching the sunrise and help protect this beautiful beach. Pingtan's sunrise is a gentle healing experience and an unforgettable romantic adventure. 💕 Come to Pingtan and experience this magical sunrise!

If you're driving to Pingtan, I recommend a 2-day, 1-night trip, because a day trip is really a bit rushed. - If you're short on time, just do the North Line. Here's a guide for you. - 🗺Tour route: Longwangtou Beach → Xianrenjing Scenic Area → Beigang Bay → The most beautiful S-bend highway → Jingsha → Changjiangao → Northern Bay Ecological Corridor - 🏡Accommodation recommendation: I recommend staying in a sea view homestay on the North Line! It's close to all the attractions, and the sunset is very beautiful. If you have a large group, you can also choose a villa with BBQ facilities. - 🐚North Line Attractions: Longwangtou Beach: The best place to watch the sunrise, a super large seaside beach Xianrenjing: Natural sea erosion, the well wall leads directly to the sea Beigang Village: A well-preserved small fishing village facing the sea - The most beautiful S-bend highway: A coastal highway with a seamless view of the sea and sky Jingsha: China's "Little Iceland", with black reefs everywhere, making you feel the loneliness of the end of the world Changjiangao: The best place to watch the sunset, and also a high-incidence area for blue tears Northern Bay Ecological Corridor: The most popular spot on the North Line, with a windmill forest, the most beautiful fairy tale town, windmills and the sea, and many other attractions - 🌌Blue Tears, which everyone is very concerned about! You can't see blue tears every day! This is a natural phenomenon that depends very much on the weather and temperature. If you see red tide during the day, there is an 80% chance that you will see blue tears at night.

—"Others' travels are like military training, but exploring Fuzhou is like strolling in my own backyard!" Day 1: Old Town Wandering Route (with a bonus time-travel experience) Route: Fuhua Church (Christian Fuhua Church) → Three Lanes and Seven Alleys → Daming Road Night Market Food Street → Fudao Elevated Walkway (Night Mode) 1. "Pink Church" Fuhua Church "God said, 'Let there be light,' and so Fuzhou had a church with its own filter!" I stumbled upon this magical pink church in Gulou District. The cross on the top floor pierces the sky, and every shot is an Instagram-worthy masterpiece (only open for worship on weekends). 2. Three Lanes and Seven Alleys—Non-stop Inhalation Dive into South Back Street and start with a bowl of Tongli Yanpi: "Boss, give me a bowl of dancing Yanpi!" Turn into Qilin Bookstore (Three Lanes and Seven Alleys Branch) and eavesdrop on the owner's golden words: "When Bing Xin was writing 'Stars' here, she must have been spacing out at the skylight." 3. Daming Road Night Market Awakening Transform into a rice-guzzling special forces at night: grilled oysters sizzling with oil, and glutinous rice grains buried in the shaved ice! Locals whisper: "Rush when you see 'Meyabo Peanut Soup (Laoyaozhou Branch),' the taro paste is sweeter than first love." 4. Fudao Elevated Walkway—Magical Moment When the walkway lights up with star trail-like lights, this lazy bum suddenly perks up: "Dash to Exit 3! A one-hour stroll in the aerial forest, and I can post on social media for a week." Day 2: River-Sea Mix-and-Match Route (with a bonus sea-view subway) Route: Subway Line 6 → Yingqian Station → Changle Shaved Ice → Pingtan Island Round-the-Island Tour 1. Subway to Spring Hop on Fuzhou's most beautiful Line 6 and exclaim as you pass the Daoqingzhou Bridge: "The scenery outside the window is like the sea train in 'Spirited Away'!" The elevated platform of Yingqian Station is like an alien base, and the river wind blows your hair into a wild style. 2. Redemption of Changle Shaved Ice Get off at Shiyang Station and slurp a bowl of Changle shaved ice. The magical taste of crushed ice mixed with glutinous rice makes me ask: "Is this the Fuzhou version of milk tea rice?" 3. Pingtan Island—Philosophy of Relaxation Rent a small electric scooter and start an island-wandering journey: pretend you're in Kenting at Longfengtou Beach, and the arc of Xiangbi Bay Beach extending into the sea is even more standard than the circles drawn by the math teacher! In the evening, squat at Changjiangao Beach and watch the sunset over the windmill field. With each turn of the windmill, half of your worries disappear. Day 3: Literary and Artistic Walking Tour Route: Former Site of Hwa Nan Women's College → Yantai Mountain → Zhongzhou Island (Minjiang River Heart) → Youth Square 1. Travel Through Time as a Republican Era Miss At Hwa Nan Women's College in Cangshan District, banyan vines climb all over the red brick buildings. In the corridor with mottled light and shadows, "I feel like I'm about to pull out a pocket watch and recite English poetry." The ginkgo leaves of Shicuo Church can pave a golden carpet. 3. Zhongzhou Island—Magical Realism Standing on Jiefang Bridge and looking at the pink castle complex, the river wind brings the sound of an old man's erhu. This lazy person suddenly realizes: "This is the Fuzhou version of 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'." --- Lazy Person's Survival Kit 🍜 Foodie Radar - Blindly choose "Guobianhu + oyster cake" for breakfast. The old man at Xianfeng Market will smile and add an extra spoonful of shrimp oil for you. - Late-night snack: "Grilled oysters at No. 17 Daming Road" paired with "Deaf Uncle's Peanut Soup," the sweet and savory perpetual motion machine is activated! 🚴 Transportation Metaphysics - Subway Line 1 is the light of lazy people, and Yingqian Station on Line 6 is a must-visit (remember to choose a window seat!). - Please identify the small electric scooter for the round-the-island tour of Pingtan Island. Wandering around, never leaving Fuzhou This lazy person has personally tested: In Fuzhou, watching the river view while lying down is considered cultivation, getting lost is considered adventure, and eating too much is considered the completion of merit! 🌿Mei Xiyue She · Xunfu Official Residence (Sanfang Qixiang Dongjiekou Subway Station Branch)

The best viewing time is from 7pm to midnight, especially after 11pm, when large-scale outbreaks are more likely! - 🌊Recommended Locations for Chasing Tears Pingtan's tear spots are scattered, so it's recommended to focus on 1-2 areas each night: 1⃣ Longwangtou Beach: Close to the city center, with full amenities.

Safety first! 4⃣Bring a garbage bag and don't litter. 5⃣Drive, as public transport stops at night and the locations are far from the city center.
