Pingtan Island / Watching the sunset heals most of life's regrets

Morning 9:20 Fuzhou South - 9:54 Pingtan Station Because the special forces trip only has one day to play on Pingtan Island After comparing many strategies, I chose the better-looking North Line ★Route (Starting from the midpoint closest to the high-speed rail station, heading north) First stop: Longfengtou Beach This attraction is closest to the city, but it doesn't have many special features. The sea around Pingtan Island hasn't been particularly blue recently Second stop: Xianrenjing Scenic Area This is my second favorite attraction today. It is divided into Xianren Valley, Xianren Peak, and Xianren Well. The 'Xianren Valley' that many people go to for photos online is actually quite deceiving, mainly relying on post-editing for the colors, and there are a lot of people queuing up to take pictures, making it very crowded. In fact, the best scenery in this area is on 'Xianren Peak,' where you can look down and see the seascape walkway at a glance, and the local fishermen's village is very quaintly displayed before your eyes Third stop: Jing Sha Black Stone Beach The black reefs are scattered across the beach, making it very suitable for taking dark-style photos. The black reefs stretch along the coast for 300 meters, with few people around, allowing for free photo composition, both close-up and distant views are beautiful Fourth stop: Changjiang'ao Wind Power Field Scenic Area Wind turbines are a landmark on Pingtan Island, and in fact, they can be seen on any beach, but they are particularly dense here. My most vivid memory is taking the high-speed train from Fuzhou to Pingtan, passing through the strait and seeing the power generators standing in the sea like giants, spectacularly looming, and as the light ripples across the sea surface into my eyes, that moment felt like I was in a Hayao Miyazaki manga, entering another world Fifth stop: Northern Ecological Corridor This is the most beautiful attraction today! Be sure to time the sunset and come two hours in advance. Photos 1-8 are all from this spot. Don't take the sightseeing bus, walking ensures you won't miss any of the beauty. Walking down from the sightseeing bus stop to the beach, you look up to see the mountains, sea, and sky reflecting off each other, and at that moment, your whole heart opens up. Passing through the beach and up the stairs, the glow of the sunset gradually comes into view, looking back you see the cliffside walkway, looking up you see the giant wind turbines accompanied by the winding road below, all the scenery blending into the pink and purple hues, that instant I felt like I was in Hobbiton, the home of the Hobbits. This place is a mythical world! Any corner is perfect for taking photos! No need for any strategies or tutorials! I feel like all regrets are healed at this moment. This is also a viewing spot for 'blue tears,' it is said that from April to August, from 8 pm to early morning, with some luck, you can see blue lights by the sea, but we didn't see them this time. 🚖Transportation: It's too hot and sunny to want to ride an electric bike, and parking can be a hassle if you rent a car, so I chose to take a taxi. There is a local app called 'Yueba,' which allows you to book a minibus anytime, anywhere, which can be understood as a bus version of Didi, but the capacity is not very high, so it's a bit hard to book. When you can't book it, just take Didi directly, which is also very convenient. All in all, the cost for the whole day is about the same as renting a car. But it's much more convenient
