More details

Pingtan Island in China's Fujian Province is famous for its mysterious and beautiful "blue tears" phenomenon. Whenever night falls, the twinkling blue light on the sea is like stars, which is intoxicating. So, when is the best time to enjoy this wonder?

First, we need to understand the causes of “blue tears”. This phenomenon is caused by a microorganism called Noctiluca scintillans that multiply in large numbers in seawater and is stimulated by external factors. Therefore, its occurrence is closely related to the marine environment, climatic conditions, etc.

According to years of observation and research, Pingtan Island's "blue tears" generally appear between April and August each year, with May and June being the best viewing periods. During this period, the ocean temperature is suitable, the Noctiluca scintillans reproduce vigorously, and the night breeze disturbance makes the "blue tears" phenomenon more obvious.

In addition to the month, the specific viewing time is also affected by factors such as tides and weather. Generally speaking, the alternation of tides, that is, high tide and low tide, is a good time to watch the "blue tears". In addition, a clear and windless night is more conducive to observing this phenomenon.

In short, Pingtan Island’s “Blue Tears” is an intoxicating natural wonder. Choose the right time, place and equipment, bring awe of nature, and enjoy this wonderful sight!

📍Highlight experience: The blue miracle under the night sky After 8 pm, the waves rushed to the beach with fluorescent blue ripples, like stars falling into the deep sea. When walking on the waves barefoot, every step stirs up tiny blue lights, as if crushing the Milky Way. It is recommended that you turn off the light of your phone and watch the view for 3 minutes. After your eyes adjust, you will find that the entire bay is glowing. Hidden surprises during the day The emerald glass sea is just as stunning during the day! We rented a transparent kayak (50 yuan/hour) and floated on the jelly-like sea, and the fish swimming underwater were visible. There are mini tidal pools in the reef area, where small starfish and green-shelled crabs are found. 3 Immersive light and shadow experience The starry sky projection plank road set up in the scenic area exceeded expectations (free). The 3D light and shadow projected the image of whales swimming under your feet, and the blue tears of real waves formed an illusion of virtuality and reality. ⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls: There is an explosive flow of people from 7 to 9 pm on weekends, and the best photography spots need to be reserved 1 hour in advance. The seafood prices at the fishing house outside the scenic area are blurred. It is recommended to walk 800 meters east to the "Langlixian" food stall. Do not buy the so-called "blue tears cultivation bottle" (actually fluorescent liquid) from the stall. 📌 Exclusive strategy: ✔️ Wear light-colored clothes! The people in white clothes take photos in the blue light as if they have their soft light filter✔️ Bring a mini tripod (30 yuan/time for rental in the scenic area) and long exposure of more than 30 seconds to capture the magical satin sea✔️ Pay attention to the real-time fluorescence index of the scenic area’s official account, and the viewing effect is best when it is above Lv.3🌌 Postscript: When the crowd dispersed at 1 a.m., I lay on the still warm beach and watched the remaining fluorescence flickering like breathing. At that moment, I suddenly understood what the ancients said, "When drunk, you don't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of sweet dreams that overwhelm the stars." The romance of nature is always beyond imagination.
