This rural revitalization project, built on the site of an abandoned mine, integrates business travel, accommodation, catering, and entertainment, driving employment and stimulating consumption. The night view is beautiful.
After 4pm, it's not so hot and you can see some daytime scenery. The lights of Wangxian Valley turn on at 6:30pm and it gets dark at 7pm. It's nice to take pictures of the night view. It's also nice during the day, but not as good as at night.

It's definitely worth a visit. There's a line in a song that goes, "Gulangyu Island faces Taiwan from afar." Standing on Sunlight Rock on Gulangyu Island, you can overlook Taiwan. There are also many unique old alleys and their stories.
The scenery of Gulangyu Island is pleasant. Walking on the fine sand beach and feeling the sea breeze gives people a relaxed and happy feeling. They don’t want to leave for a long time, letting the sea breeze blow all their worries into the sea of the Taiwan Strait, and they are intoxicated by it, as if in a dream.

There are too many people when you go there on holidays. There are queues everywhere. It is hot and uncomfortable, but the scenery is beautiful. I didn’t take the cable car next to it because the number of people is limited during holidays.
It is suitable for children to take a walk and see various plants. It is best to enter from the west gate, take the sightseeing bus, and get off at the south gate. This will save energy and the children will not be too tired.

It's a good hike, with beautiful views. The round trip takes 40 minutes, and aside from being a bit hot in the summer, there aren't any other issues.
The waiting time is about 30 minutes (at 10 AM on a summer weekend).
We booked it in advance on Ctrip, which was very convenient. We waited in line for a short while before we got on. The cable car is quite long and offers a great view overlooking the botanical gardens. The other side is the ocean, which is a lovely view. It's air-conditioned and quite comfortable.

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.

Wuyi Mountain is indeed worth recommending. The Jade Maiden Peak stands like a young girl, Jiuqu River, Dahongpao, etc. are all must-see places. The most shocking one is Impression Dahongpao, with its rotating stage and colorful lights... I want to watch Impression Dahongpao again
Entering the park with your ID card is very convenient, and after that, you only need to scan your face to board the bus at each attraction. My only regret was that I didn't get to ride the bamboo raft. You should book in advance during the summer. I heard it's even more crowded during Golden Week, but I was very satisfied with the crowds for the summer. Although the temperature was acceptable, it was still very hot. I decided to just explore the national park on my own, climbing and hiking whenever I wanted. It was very flexible and comfortable. The air was fresh, and the clear water and mountains were refreshing. It's worth a visit!

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 Bernoulli Cannon is spectacular. The Hulishan Fort is conveniently located next to Baicheng Beach, with buses running right outside. The sea views, blue skies, and white clouds are fantastic for taking photos. The staff are friendly and can even make small photo keychains for free, which is a great touch.
The scenery of Hulishan Fort is very beautiful, and you can also learn about the history of the bombardment of Kinmen and the past resistance against foreign enemies. The overall feeling after the tour is very good, the sea view is very beautiful, and you can see some of the islands of Kinmen, which is impressive.

Qingyuan Mountain is definitely worth a visit! The mountain is lushly forested, the air is fresh, and the natural beauty permeates every corner. There are sightseeing buses available, but no cable car. Don't miss Laojun Rock, where the Song Dynasty stone statue of Laojun is breathtakingly lifelike. Also, Nantai Rock offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Quanzhou city.
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.

Don't forget to get a free raincoat at the ticket gate. Baizhang First and Second Falls can really give you a bath, but the overall experience is still very good and worth a visit.
Purchasing tickets on Ctrip is very convenient, and you can even buy same-day tickets. I was unsure if Baizhang Waterfall would be open during the rainy season, so I kept putting it off. Luckily, Ctrip offers same-day purchases. After purchasing, I just swipe my ID and enter. Minors are free. They even give each person a raincoat at the entrance, which is really generous. It's a thoughtful gesture during this rainy season. The scenery at Baizhang Waterfall is also stunning. Watching the cascading waterfall transports you to a world of martial arts. Come on, embark on a journey through the martial arts world.
