    Despite encountering multiple crosswinds while crossing the 16.23-kilometer-long Taiwan Strait Bridge, we still made it to this scenic spot, the closest point on mainland China to Taiwan. We walked the first half, taking photos along the way, and took the shuttle bus back the second half.

    We went quite late, after 6 pm, but the guide was still very patient, meticulous, and hardworking. We felt a strong sense of history. It wasn't crowded at night, a unique experience.

    I only visited Houyan Island on Pingtan Island, where the 68-nautical-mile boundary marker is located. Honestly, I wasn't expecting the water on Pingtan Island, but it was incredibly impressive. The water, reflecting off the blue sky, was incredibly blue. Perhaps it was because the weather was so sunny. Houyan Island is essentially a rocky island, so if it's sunny, bring an umbrella. The Pingtan Highway-Railway Bridge is truly spectacular; be sure to experience it when you visit the island.

    I brought my child here to play because it was Halloween and I was afraid that he would be afraid to play in the children's area. The park is very large and there are many facilities, which is enough for him to play.

    There are many products in the Fujian Provincial Museum, and they are all very beautiful. The entire area is quite large, so if you go there, you are advised to bring some water. Some of the products there are very exquisite and in line with the audience's aesthetic taste. They have a strong sense of history. It is recommended that people of all ages come to visit.

    As dusk drifts over the Xing'an River, the alleyways of Shangxiahang, steeped in the colors of the Ming and Qing dynasties, become bathed in a smoky indigo. Lanterns sway atop the saddle walls, smudged across the black tiles and white walls into a flowing scroll. The river reflects the fleeting light of the century-old commercial port, as if time were gently grinding ink on bluestone slabs.

    The Lin Zexu Memorial Hall (usually referring to the main memorial hall in Fuzhou or Humen) is a prominent site commemorating Lin Zexu, a significant national hero in modern Chinese history. Here are some reasons why you should visit: 1. Significant Historical Significance A Symbol of National Heroism: Lin Zexu led the "Humen Opium Destruction" and is hailed as "the first person to open his eyes to the world." His struggle against the British and his anti-drug campaign marked a significant turning point in modern Chinese history. A Microcosm of Modern History: The memorial hall vividly depicts the history before and after the Opium War through artifacts and historical materials, helping visitors understand China's arduous journey from isolation to openness. 2. Extensive Collections and Exhibitions Precious Cultural Relics: On display are Lin Zexu's manuscripts, letters, a reconstruction of the Humen Opium Destruction scene, and Qing Dynasty official uniforms, some of which are national first-class cultural relics. Multimedia Interactive: Modern technology (such as AR and video) recreates historical scenes and enhances the visitor experience. 3. Architectural and Garden Features Traditional Architectural Aesthetics: The Fuzhou Memorial Hall boasts Qing Dynasty-style architecture and elegant garden layout, combining both monumentality and artistry. Rich Cultural Atmosphere: Many plaques and couplets are by renowned artists, showcasing a rich cultural heritage. 4. Patriotic Education Promoting the National Spirit: Lin Zexu's integrity, perseverance, and patriotism remain relevant today, making this a suitable place for students and families. Drug Prevention: The history of the Humen Opium Destruction offers practical lessons for anti-drug awareness campaigns. 5. Convenient Location Fuzhou Museum: Located in the heart of Fuzhou, it is surrounded by attractions such as the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, offering a convenient location for combined tours. Humen Museum: Located near the Humen Fort ruins in Dongguan, it integrates with the Opium War ruins to create a historical themed tour. 6. Free Admission and Excellent Service Most Lin Zexu Memorial Halls offer free admission (except for some special exhibitions) and offer guided tours, making them suitable for visitors of all ages. Summary: History enthusiasts, students, and ordinary tourists alike can deeply experience national integrity, absorb historical wisdom, and enjoy the dual immersion of cultural attractions. If planning a visit, it is recommended to allow 1-2 hours and combine it with a visit to surrounding attractions.

    It is worth taking the children there. There are many underwater species, the venue is quite large, and there are rich performances and activities. I didn't expect that there would be such a good underwater world in Yongtai. It can be said that it exceeded expectations.
