#Dinghaiwan Ruolin Hotel Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Only after visiting Pingtan did I realize the correct tutorial for chasing tears
In May, the beaches of Pingtan in Fuzhou welcome the dreamy 'Blue Tears', where the blue glow on the sand is like stars falling from the sky, truly beautiful and dreamy. If you don't want to miss this spectacle when visiting Pingtan, then patiently read through the guide, the tutorial for chasing tears is below😘
Fuzhou Lianjiang + Fuzhou Pingtan Travel Time: Two days and two nights
Places to visit:
Fuzhou Pingtan (the best beach for observing tears)
① Longwangtou: This beach is more crowded with tourists and is one of the most popular Blue Tears viewing spots on Pingtan Island
② Changjiang'ao: The frequency of Blue Tears at Changjiang'ao is very high, and even without the Blue Tears, the seascape here is unique
③ Dongmei Sea: Although it is far from the central urban area, it wins with fewer people and beautiful scenery, standing by the sea you can feel the coolness of the water
④ Tannan Bay: Tannan Bay is the largest bay on Pingtan Island, with smaller waves, making it very suitable for swimming and beach sports
Fuzhou Lianjiang
Dinghai Bay
Fuzhou's version of 'Little Sanya', with soft and comfortable beaches, and many recreational facilities within the scenic area, you can enjoy the sea breeze and have fun at the same time👍🏻
Qidacun Qiguanding
Known as the domestic version of 'Rio de Janeiro', after reaching the top🉑 you can overlook this fishing village, and those with strong physical strength can tour the village before climbing to the top🔝
Accommodation🏡
I stayed at the Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel: a seafront room with a view, standing in front of the window you can see the endless sea, the room has a large floor-to-ceiling window, the sun fully fills the room, and in the evening you can also see the sunset over the sea, without leaving home you can see the beautiful sea surface👍🏻
Conditions for observing Blue Tears👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
① Weather for observing tears: Around 21-26 degrees Celsius, clear skies, during high tide, and on days with a south wind, Blue Tears will appear
② Situation for observing tears: If during the day you can observe a slight red color on the sea surface, then Blue Tears will definitely appear tonight!
③ Time for observing tears: After 8:00 PM
④ Place for observing tears: Choose the 'tear observing' beach based on the actual situation🏖️

Are you still envious of the blue tears abroad? There's no need to travel all the way to the Maldives, as the blue tears of Pingtan Island are equally breathtaking! This seasonal natural wonder is not to be missed, or you'll have to wait another year!
Chasing Tears Timing
📅 Seasonal Limitation: From March to May, it's the season for blue tears, offering a great chance for a successful chase.
Essential Factors for Chasing Tears
🌙 Tide and Time: The golden time to observe the blue tears is from 7 to 11 PM on the 15th or 16th night of the lunar calendar.
Tips
🔍 Red Tide Precursor: If the sea turns slightly red during the day while you're playing by the seaside, it might be a precursor to the appearance of blue tears.

📍 South Line: Tannan Bay, Dafu Bay.
📍 Around the County Town: Longfengtou, Guanjiang Village.

📷 Camera Users: Manual mode, sensitivity set to very high, shutter time over 15 seconds, use a tripod for stability.
After chasing the tears, I went to climb mountains and see the sea in neighboring Lianjiang 🧗🌊
📍 Qiguanding
Fujian's version of 'Rio de Janeiro,' standing on the top of the mountain to feel the beauty of the sea and sky merging as one, with 1800 steps, it's tiring but truly worth it the moment you stand at the top - sisters watching the sunset should arrive before 3 PM.
📍 Geshacun
The beached ship of Geshacun
The recently viral shipwreck spot
Fujian's version of 'Bruges'
The atmosphere is simply full when the tide is out!
Accommodation🏠
Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel, not far from the main attractions, the sea view is stunning as soon as you open the door! The hotel also has a restaurant, making eating, drinking, and traveling convenient

Check-in at the domestic version of 'Rio de Janeiro' at Qiguanding
A one-day and one-night tour in Lianjiang, Fuzhou, with a special forces guide!
I've been seeing a lot about the domestic version of 'Rio de Janeiro' recently. It's located at 📍Qida Village, Lianjiang County, Fuzhou City, named Qiguanding because it resembles 'Rio de Janeiro'. From the top, you can 🉑 overlook the entire fishing village👀
After descending, I quickly prepared a nanny-level hiking guide for you. Babies who need it, give a like➕ and save it 🥰
Note: Be sure to choose good weather, otherwise you'll only see a big fog🤫
Qiguanding🔝
There are two routes🛣️
① Start climbing from the bottom of the mountain⛰️
Drive/book a car to 📍Qida Village Qiguanding, park 🅿️ and start climbing, take the famous 1800 steps, the whole journey is about 30-40 minutes give or take👌🏻
② Start climbing from halfway up the mountain⛰️
Drive/carpool to 📍Baiyun Temple, after arriving, don't stop, continue driving forward until you see 🈶 railings surrounding a wall, that's the halfway point 🏁, the journey is about 20-25 minutes give or take, the mountain road is rugged, this route is more challenging for drivers💪🏻
Note: For those who book/carpool, the prices for the journey from the bottom and halfway up the mountain are different, discuss with the driver beforehand to avoid unnecessary trouble🤫
Dinghai Bay🌊
Ticket🎫: Free
The sand here is very soft, stepping on it feels very comfortable, after climbing the mountain you can also enjoy the sea breeze to relax, and there are many amusement facilities🏄🏻♂️
Accommodation🏡
I stayed at 📍Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel, staying here is more convenient than in Qida Village, with more food options😋, 👆🏻 sea view rooms, just downstairs is the sea, and the rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, you don't even need to go out to see the sunset over the sea🌇

Pingtan's Blue Tears🪼 are about to experience a major outbreak! Make your travel plans and rush over!
👉Science Time👈
❌Blue Tears are not real tears, they are the light emitted by fluorescent algae in the sea
❌"Blue Tears" usually appear from April to August each year
❌Pingtan's Blue Tears have a major outbreak every year from April to May, with the best viewing time at night
👉Below are a few places where they commonly appear: 🔥Liuxiu Village: A place where Blue Tears appear frequently
🔥Changjiang'ao: Also has a high probability
🔥Mojing Village and Dongmei Village: Less popular but also beautiful beaches
🔥Houyan Island: A less-known island with clear waters, and if you're lucky, you might see a pink beach.
🔥Tianmei'ao and Longfengtou: Suitable for watching the sunset🌅
🌟Tips: You can rent a car, and it's easier to park if you're traveling in even numbers🛵
🌈Photography tips:
📸Prepare a tripod and a shutter release, adjust the appropriate exposure time and 📸please open the aperture to the maximum to capture the stars
📸Use a wide-angle lens to fill the frame with "Blue Tears"
📸It's best to turn off the flash when shooting
📸You can include subjects like people or footprints as elements to add liveliness to the picture
🚲If you don't see the Blue Tears, it's okay, Pingtan has many other hidden gems to check out
🚲Bike around the island! Enjoy a pleasant island bike ride in the fresh sea breeze
🚲Changjiang'ao Wind Power Station! 📷A popular windmill photo spot with a great atmosphere For girls, taking beautiful photos is the most important😛 So I've prepared some photo-taking tips for girls:
🌊Wear light-colored clothes for a better look! The color of Blue Tears is quite pale, so wearing light-colored clothes can blend in with the glow.
🌊Bring some small props! Such as balloons, bouquets, hats, sunglasses, etc.
❗❗Attention❗❗ Always be cautious when going to the beach😊 Do not go to unfamiliar beaches alone. Also, please take your trash with you to protect the beach environment.
🚗Pingtan-Lianjiang
The next day we also went to Qidacun in Lianjiang, about an hour's drive from Pingtan. Although it involves climbing a mountain, the process is not boring at all, because the scenery along the way is just too beautiful
This is the most beautiful place I've ever climbed, second to none👌Reaching the top of the mountain is an overwhelming experience that can't be put into words, 🉑Charge (Lianjiang has other fun attractions besides Qiguanding)
🏠Accommodation
The first thing upon arriving in Lianjiang is to book a hotel. I stayed at the Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel, which I can only say is value for money. Their service, the oceanfront view, these are indeed beyond words, and their hotel also includes a restaurant with good taste and a large scale, and the beach is just downstairs🏖️
Passport and Palate
Not abroad! It's Fuzhou! It felt like I went to Rio de Janeiro!
I've been longing to visit Qida Village, and finally, I'm here to check in. When I walked over 1800 steps and saw the azure sea and the fishing village all at a glance, it really felt a bit like Rio de Janeiro. This hike was truly worthwhile.
☑️Address
Qiguan Top, Qida Village, Fuzhou City
☑️Transport
Take the high-speed train to 'Lianjiang Station', you can choose to hire a private car to get there; we shared a ride with others, 30 yuan per person one way. You can also take the bus to Qida from Lianjiang Bus East Station, the journey takes about 1h to arrive.
☑️【Accommodation】
Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel
The only high-end hotel around Qida Village (I didn't expect it to be so affordable ). The room is very spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows + an unbeatable sea view. You can see the sunrise just by lifting the curtains in the morning. The room comes with complimentary drinks and tea sets.
You can enjoy tea while admiring the beautiful view outside the window.
Just a few dozen meters downstairs is the quiet Dinghai Bay beach, very peaceful and pleasant. Inside the scenic area, there is a hotel's own seafood restaurant, the prices are very reasonable, you can eat there with confidence.
☑️Touring tips
1⃣️For those who don't want to climb 1800 steps, you can also take a taxi directly to Baiyun Temple, which is about a 20-minute walk to the top of the mountain.
2⃣️No admission fee is required for the tour, and there are self-service water sales along the way.
3⃣️The fence with the wishing plaques is the best spot for photos, be sure to pay attention to safety!
4⃣️Be sure to go on a sunny day, got a bit sunburned, but it's really too beautiful! The wind is also very strong, remember to apply sunscreen.
Savoring Sojourns
You don't have to go to Weihai; you can also take photos of the Bluewise in Fuzhou
I captured the wreck of the Bluewise in Fuzhou, and the sense of fate is overwhelming❗️❗️
The lonely shipwreck stands silently on the beach after the tide recedes,
The weather by the sea is unpredictable, with clouds rolling and changing.
Compared to the clear skies of a holiday, the overcast twilight
Even more cinematic, with the protagonist's sense of fate skyrocketing.
📍Navigate to "Ha Sha Village" and you'll see these two stranded shipwrecks.
Be aware! Check the local tide chart; when the tide is low, the reefs will be exposed.
It's recommended to wear a dark or black trench coat, holding a bright red rose.
Matching with a red or white scarf also works, and any photo looks good.
Triple zoom on the phone can capture both the person and the shipwreck in the same frame, and live photos look great too.
The location of the shipwreck is in Lianjiang County, which is quite far from Fuzhou city center.
It's suggested to combine the trip with "Qi Da Village - Qi Guan Ding - Bei Jiao Bi Geological Park - Fisherman's Village - Gu Shi Village - Ping Liu Wei Geological Park - Huang Qi Beach", there's plenty of time.
📍Address: Ha Sha Village, Lianjiang County, Fuzhou City
💰Ticket: 0 yuan, free
🚗Transport: Self-driving (free parking), 1.5h drive from Fuzhou, or take a high-speed train from Fuzhou to Lianjiang Station and then carpool
🍳Food recommendations:
1⃣️Fish noodles, fish balls, oyster omelette
2⃣️Various seafood! Abalone, mantis shrimp, oysters, razor clams
🏠Accommodation
I chose the Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel because it's not far from the main attractions, only 20min away from Qi Da Village, and the hotel has huge floor-to-ceiling windows! The sea view outside the window is stunning👁️! There's a beach🏖️ downstairs and amusement facilities to enjoy! Very comfortable☀️
ZACHARIAH KENNEDY
In Fujian, Fuzhou | I learned a new photography style!
👀 Family, the incredibly stunning and lesser-known Qida Village in Lianjiang, Fujian must be recommended! Whenever the weather gets hot, I just want to see the sea🌊. This weekend, I took my bestie👭 for a drive there; it's only 1h away from the downtown area of Fuzhou, which is so convenient👍
🏠 After checking into the Ruolin Hotel in Dinghai Bay, we decided to head to Qida Village and discovered it's a perfect place for photography📸! Every shot is like a blockbuster, absolutely amazing~✨🌈
🏛️ Qida Village is a small fishing village, not very commercialized, and 'Ruolin Hotel' is the most famous star-rated hotel here. 🎁 Staying here also includes a hot pot package🍲, which tastes great👍🥟. Later, we strolled on the beach of Dinghai Bay, which was really fun with all the amusement facilities. 😂
🌅 The sunrise🌇 at the hotel is super beautiful! 📸 A casual snap is full of the atmospheric Korean style.
⛰ It's worth mentioning Qiguan Top, which has three routes,
👉① Drive to the middle of the mountain and then walk up,
② Drive to the foot of the mountain and climb more than 1800 steps,
③ There's also a dirt road that leads to the top of the mountain.
We drove to the foot of the mountain and climbed🧗 up, which took us about 30 minutes🅿️. It was over 1800 steps to reach the top😭. I was exhausted, but the vast and magnificent sea in front of me swept away all the fatigue!🌊 I also saw a windmill that's super suitable for taking photos and checking in, it's really photogenic~📷

The blue tears of Pingtan are about to experience a massive outbreak!! Hurry up and rush over!!!
The best chance to witness the blue tears is here, don't miss out on rushing over!!! 😍😍😍
👋 I've stayed up several nights to organize this most comprehensive guide to the Pingtan blue tears, almost blinding myself, but fortunately, hard work pays off, and I've finally put it together!!! 😭
✋ I won't allow anyone to remain unaware of the stunning blue tears hotspot on Pingtan Island. You don't have to go to the Maldives to see them, we have them in our own country!!
👉 The blue tears of Pingtan are seasonally limited, generally appearing from March to May. This is when the probability of successfully witnessing them is the highest. I've stayed up several nights to compile these tips, nearly blinding myself. 👀👀👀
😘 If you want to see the blue tears, it's best to choose a day with a light breeze or a southerly wind, but it doesn't have to be a southerly wind; sometimes a gentle breeze from any direction will do. If the wind and waves are too strong on the day, the blue tears will be scattered.
⚠️ A little tip: Red tide is also a precursor to the appearance of blue tears 👌. If you notice a slight reddish tint in the sea during the day while playing at the beach, then there's a very high chance of seeing blue tears tonight. Remember these two precursors, they're very helpful for chasing the tears. 😍
💧 Likely locations for the appearance of blue tears include: the northern line's Changjiang'ao, Mojing Village, Dongmei Village, Nanaozi, and Cat Head Dry; the southern line's Tannan Bay, Dafu Bay; and around the county town, Longfengtou, and Guanjiang Village.
📷 I've also organized tips for photographing the blue tears.
1️⃣ If you're using an iPhone, just use the Night mode for shooting, the new models capture it easily, older models may need to use screen recording;
2️⃣ If you're using an Android, use the Pro mode, set the ISO to 6400, and the shutter speed to 2 seconds;
3️⃣ If you're using a camera, use the M mode, set the sensitivity to the highest, shutter time to over 15 seconds, and it's best to use a tripod to stabilize the camera. 😘
⚠️ Be sure to check the weather before you go
📍 There's also a super photogenic, lesser-known secret spot, which is Qiguan Top in Qida Village, Lianjiang County, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province. It's just a 1-hour drive from Pingtan Island. This place, far from the hustle and bustle of the world, is a primitive and simple fishing village, known as 'Fuzhou's Rio de Janeiro', and is a must-visit! 🌴
📸 On the way to Qiguan Top, as you ascend along the mountain, the view becomes increasingly vast, and the distant sea horizon becomes clearer, with every casual shot turning out to be a masterpiece, boasting a very high success rate for great photos. Once you arrive, you'll feel as if you've instantly traveled to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. 😍
🏨 I highly recommend staying at the Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel. From the rooms here, you can see the vast sea and the azure sky, and the beach is just downstairs, making it very suitable for couples, families, and friends to vacation together. The Ruolin Restaurant tastes good 👍🏻 both in flavor and service.

Few people post about the sunrise at Qiguanding, so let me do it!
I drove from Wenzhou to Qiguanding at midnight 🚗
There was no need to climb the 1800 steps, I took a shortcut by car
It took about 20 minutes to hike up the mountain ⛰️ at 5:30 am and easily reached the summit
I saw the sunrise I wanted to see, the only downside was that the wind was really too strong
It was not friendly to my hair
This hidden gem in a small fishing village in Fujian 🌊 The Chinese version of Rio de Janeiro - Qida Village
The moment you climb Qiguanding is a blend of mountains and sea, a breathtaking view 💕💕
.
📍Qida Village, Lianjiang County - known as the Chinese version of Rio de Janeiro
⛰The best viewing angle of Qida Village is right next to Baiyun Mountain's Qiguanding
There are two options for going up the mountain, you can walk more than 1000 steps, or you can drive to the parking lot near Baiyun Temple and walk up from there~ We chose the latter, which is also the less strenuous route~
🎫Ticket: Free🆓
.
🚗Navigate to Baiyun Temple, the road is a winding mountain road, don't doubt and keep driving past the yellow archway with the Baiyun Temple sign, continue driving inside is a gravel road (the other side of the fork in the road is Baiyun Temple which is still under construction), keep driving along the gravel road! Until you reach a platform where you can see windmills and park, you can choose to stop here, and if there are not many cars, you can drive a little further up.
We drove to the end of the gravel road when we went, and there was a gate that only allowed walking, maybe it will be open in the future~ After getting out of the car, it takes about half an hour to walk to Qiguanding, but this gravel road is relatively flat without steps, it's very easy to stroll to the top!
.
🚩Photo spots at Qiguanding 📷
1️⃣The highest Qiguanding has a red flag, not far from the pavilion, you can take photos of the bay and windmills at the top, the sunrise here did not disappoint me!
2️⃣The most beautiful spot is down the steps from Qiguanding to the end of the mountain where there are many large rocks, in an instant the beauty is breathtaking~~🎈You can overlook the entire panorama of Qida Village, and you get the feeling of Rio de Janeiro🌊
3️⃣Standing at the end of more than 1000 steps, you can take an overhead shot of people and the full view of the fishing village, which is a more everyday spot suitable for sisters who are afraid of heights~
4️⃣Walking forward from the Qiguanding kiosk, there is a stone that says 'Peace is a blessing', going down you can take photos of Qida Village sandwiched between two mountains, the angle is also very unique~
5️⃣There are many scenic spots on the way, the platform near the end of the gravel road can take photos of the windmills and sea view behind, it's like being transported into a Miyazaki anime in a second~
⚠️Safety first when taking photos, some places have quite slippery stones.
. 🍳Food recommendations:
1⃣️Fish noodles, fish balls, oyster pancakes
2⃣️Various seafood! Abalone, mantis shrimp, oysters, razor clams
Accommodation in Qida Village
Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel
There are few hotels near Qida Village, we chose a nearby star-rated sea view hotel (it has floor-to-ceiling windows + sea view room, wake up in the morning and open the curtains to see the sunrise.
Just a few dozen meters downstairs is the beach, very quiet and comfortable. The hotel has a seafood restaurant, the prices are very reasonable, you can go with confidence!

ALEXANDER LUCAS
Finally, I have climbed to the top of Dongfang Rio de Janeiro and encountered the stunning mountains and seas
If you can't go to Rio de Janeiro, then come to Fuzhou's Dongfang Rio instead~
The scenery is absolutely no less than abroad 😭
It can be said that it must have a place among the niche tourist attractions in China
There are hardly any people now, and the number of tourists is super low
The key point is that this is not a photo deception‼️
The reality feels even more beautiful than the pictures
.
📍Address: Qiguanding, Lianjiang County, Fujian
🎫Ticket: Free
🚗Transportation: It is recommended to drive by yourself, about 1h drive from the high-speed rail station

There are many ways mentioned online, but it all comes down to two methods
1️⃣Navigate directly to 'Qiguanding', there is a large stone monument at the foot of the mountain, next to which is the path to climb the mountain, it takes about 40 minutes to reach the top, simple and effective
2️⃣After navigating to Qiguanding, continue driving upwards, there are mountain roads and dirt roads, keep driving to the city wall arch. Then start walking for 20 minutes. (It is recommended to climb the mountain directly using the first method)
3️⃣The stranded boat in Ha Sha Village
The recently popular shipwreck spot
Lianjiang's version of 'Bruwes'
The atmosphere is full when the tide is out!
.
🍳Food:
1⃣️Fish noodles, fish balls, oyster pancakes
2⃣️Various seafood! Abalone, mantis shrimp, oysters, razor clams
Accommodation in Qida Village
Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel
There are very few hotels near Qida Village, I personally pay more attention to hygiene and comfort, so I chose a nearby star-rated sea view hotel (it is a floor-to-ceiling window sea view room, you can see the sunrise when you wake up in the morning and open the curtains.
Just walk a few dozen meters downstairs to reach the beach, it's very quiet and comfortable. There is a seafood restaurant in the scenic area that is affiliated with the hotel, the prices are very reasonable, you can go there with confidence!

🌟Travel Tips
1️⃣For photography, you must choose a good weather, so you can see the blue sea. If it's cloudy and foggy, you won't be able to capture anything
2️⃣It is definitely recommended to drive by yourself, as transportation is really inconvenient, and it's hard to get a taxi in remote areas
3️⃣The top of the mountain is quite steep, so be sure to pay attention to safety when taking photos, as many places do not have railings, so be careful

Fuzhou | Qida Village, the Fujian version of Rio de Janeiro is truly beautiful
| Qida Village, the Fujian version of Rio de Janeiro is truly beautiful.📍Located at Qiguan Top, Qida Village, Lianjiang County, Fuzhou City
📍Free
❇️Ways to go up the mountain
1⃣️At the foot of the mountain, park for free at the Qiguan Top stone stele, then climb 1800 steps up the mountain
✅Suitable for young people with good physical strength, take photos while climbing, and you can encounter more surprises
2️⃣Carpool or take a motorcycle taxi near the mountain entrance, the price is about 20-50, especially taking a motorcycle taxi, which can save time queuing up the mountain during peak hours
✅Motorcycle taxis are more suitable for 1-2 people going up the mountain together, not cost-effective for more people, and it doesn't look very safe
3️⃣Drive to the bottom of the Qiguan Top wall
✅After taking a motorcycle taxi or driving to the wall, you need to walk along a low wall similar to the Great Wall for more than 1 kilometer to reach the Jiuxian Jun Temple, climb up the small dirt slope on the right side of the temple, walk a short distance forward and you will encounter steps, walk down the steps, the pavilion and red wishing plaques are the popular photo spots, walking up leads to a broader view
✅Driving up the mountain, the mountain road has eighteen bends, not easy to navigate, the last 1 kilometer to the wall is a dirt road with stones, bumpy, and difficult for cars with low chassis
✅Self-driving during peak times will encounter 4 or 5 vehicle control points, vehicles have to queue up to go up the mountain, and only when cars come down can an equivalent number of cars go up, the waiting time is very long (but once you get up there, you'll find that there aren't so many cars that a few more couldn't be accommodated)
‼️Tips‼️
▶️Be sure to go on a sunny day❗The mountain roads are difficult in rainy weather and the photo effects are much worse❗
▶️The popular photo spot is located on the edge of a cliff, be cautious⚠️ and ensure safety, those who are afraid of heights (like myself) are advised not to get too close, it's not necessary to take the risk, but personal safety is a must
▶️Whether at the foot of the mountain, halfway up, or at the top, parking is free🅿️, during holidays and peak times, besides taking a motorcycle taxi, the time spent driving around the mountain (including traffic control queuing) and walking up the stairs feels about the same
▶️When you reach the control point in front of the Guanyin Temple, do not listen to the security guard and park on the spot, the 1 kilometer-plus mountain road is not long, but the dust is particularly heavy,
when other vehicles pass by, pedestrians can get a mouthful of dust, be sure to drive to the bottom of the wall (the arch in the upper right corner of picture 5)
▶️Naturally, the prices on the mountain are higher than at the foot of the mountain (e.g., tea eggs 4 yuan each, grilled sausages 10 yuan each), you can bring a small amount of water and snacks (there's not much to do at the top of the mountain, 1-2 hours for taking photos and resting is enough)
▶️The wind is strong on the mountain and it's sunny, be prepared for wind, sun protection, and insect prevention
🍳Food recommendations:
1⃣️Fish noodles, fish balls, oyster pancakes, the seafood beef hotpot in the hotel is also great.
Accommodation in Qida Village
Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel
There are few hotels near Qida Village, for a family trip, this time we chose a nearby high-end sea view hotel (it has floor-to-ceiling windows + sea view rooms, wake up in the morning and open the curtains to see the sunrise).

Chida Village, Fuzhou - The City of Sky in the Human World
🏖️ Known as the 'Little Rio de Janeiro'. 🗽
According to an old man in the fishing village 👴, four years ago, it was a little-known dilapidated fishing village 🎎. Now, four years later, it has become explosively popular 🔥 for its view from the top of Qiguandian, which resembles Rio de Janeiro, and has become one of the hot tourist spots in Fuzhou! 🔥🗽
📍Address: Chida Village, Lianjiang County, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province 🎫Ticket: Free🆓
🚇Transportation:
Take the high-speed train 🚝 from Fuzhou Station to Lianjiang Station, the ticket costs 12 yuan
From Lianjiang Station 🚝, you can take a taxi to Minyun Lianjiang Passenger Transport East Station for about 10 yuan, and then purchase a bus ticket to Chida Village 🚌
Bus ride: about 1h
Bus fare: 15 yuan (pay on boarding)
Departure times: 7:30, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 (after 12:00, buses depart every 1h, ⚠️the last bus is at 4:00 PM)
🚕By taxi, after exiting Minyun Lianjiang Passenger Transport East Station, there are many taxis at the entrance offering rides to Chida Village. If you share a taxi, it costs about 30 yuan per person, and you can bargain if there are more people 💰
🚶To climb to the top of Qiguandian, there are 1800 steps in total. Starting from a large stele at the foot of the mountain, it takes about 1h to reach the top. It's advisable to bring a bottle of water and some bread for sustenance. Water is also sold halfway up the mountain, and there is a public toilet.
🚗For the first half of the ascent to Qiguandian, there is a winding road up the side of the mountain. If you're driving, you can navigate directly to Baiyun Temple. After a ten-minute drive, you'll reach a parking lot halfway up the mountain. Get out of the car, pass through the stone archway, and there's a path like the Great Wall. A 25-minute walk will get you there 😍😍😍
If you're not driving but still want to take a vehicle up the mountain, there are many taxis at the foot of the mountain. Just ask for the price, and generally, sharing a taxi to the halfway point costs about 20 yuan per person.
⚠️Please be careful when taking photos 😶
🏠Accommodation & 🍜Cuisine: You can stay at Dinghai Bay, where the Ruolin Hotel is fully equipped. Dinghai Bay has well-maintained beach facilities, and other scenic spots are a 15-30 minute drive away. The hotel also has a restaurant with decent Min and Cantonese cuisine, quite distinctive 👍
☀️Weather: Sunny or cloudy weather is better for photography, so remember to check the weather forecast in advance if you're planning to visit 😘😘😘
Haizi said, 'When you come to this world, you should see the sun.' Unknowingly, it's already April, and the weather is gradually warming up. Everyone can go out and have fun during the break, and those who are busy can follow me, and I'll show you the scenery 🌈🌈🌈

Self-driving to the Sky City | Sisters, I advise you not to come
Because once you come, you won't want to leave😆
🚗Originally planned to go to Quanzhou, but on a whim at Dongshan Island, after driving for more than five hours, we finally arrived at Qida Village!😅
🧚♀️Self-driving buddies can directly navigate to 'Qiguan Top', this location is the closest you can get to the mountain top by car, there's a small parking lot, but there aren't many spots available🧐
⚠️Special Reminder⚠️ 🅿️The road up the mountain is not very easy to drive, drivers need to have good driving skills～😲
You can also park at the foot of the mountain and walk up the stairs, which takes about half an hour😆
🌊After climbing to the top, everything is worth it! The sunlight at four in the afternoon just right hits the town, making it feel like the town is sparkling! I've been to quite a few places, and this one really ranks in the top three❗️❗️❗️
🌕All I can think of are these phrases: Traversing mountains and seas, chasing the wind and waves, through the seasons, born free!😎
🏠Accommodation recommendation: Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel, which is about a 20 min drive from Qida Village. The hotel has large floor-to-ceiling windows, and you can see the sea when you wake up. The restaurant in the hotel is quite good, and there's a beach and amusement facilities to play with downstairs. The hotel also has tea sets, sipping tea while looking at the sea is so comfortable❗️❗️❗️

🌟Fuzhou Qida Village|A severely underestimated treasure fishing village 'Domestic version of Rio de Janeiro' How can you not come!? And now there's no admission fee!! It's worth a trip to Lianjiang just to overlook this colorful fishing village🌊
🏘In the village, you can see many houses built on the edge of the cliff🏠, even the scenery here is the color of the waves🌊
🌄To reach the top of the mountain, you need to climb up 1800 steps, about 1 hour to reach the top. When you finish climbing this road, you can see this village nestled against the mountain and surrounded by the sea on three sides.🏘It's like a city in the sky above the sea, and like a mysterious hidden island🧤It seems that as long as you open your arms, you can embrace the whole world🌏
💋There are many guides online, I won't babble. Sharing that I stayed at the Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel this time, it was really another surprise on the journey🏤Only 20 minutes from Qida Village, the sea view room has a large floor-to-ceiling window facing the sea, this is what a vacation should look like!!
🎆In the new year, I hope everything can be as perfect as this trip🎆

This is not Rio de Janeiro, this is the city of God belonging to Fujian
This small fishing village in Fujian has become so beautiful that it's like 'Rio de Janeiro'! 😍😍
—Chida Village Flag Top✨✨✨
Climbing up the flag top, you can see the sea fishing grounds everywhere in the near sea bay, and the islands are scattered. Looking down from the top of the mountain, the whole fishing village is like a 'Venice' on the sea, with islands in the sea, sea in the mountains, mountains in the clouds, and clouds under your feet! 👀👀👀
❗❗❗Travel tips, please keep them well! ✈✈✈
✅Be sure to go on a sunny day, the scenery is good when the weather is good, it's the kind of beauty that doesn't need a filter, and you want to go a second time!
✅If you want the scenery to be more beautiful, start climbing in the afternoon. If you're lucky, you can see the sunset, the sea and the sky are the same color, and the beauty is colorful!
✅Don't underestimate the flag top, the scenery is really beautiful, but it's also very difficult to climb, there are 1800 steps from the foot of the mountain, and they are all steep! There are hardly any railings on the way up the mountain, so be careful!
✅You don't need to bring a lot of water, there are many tents on the way up the mountain where you can rest, and there are various drinks there, you can buy them on your own.
✅We went three days ago, it's still quite cold on the top of the mountain in December after the sun goes down, keep warm, the sea breeze on the top of the mountain is also very strong, be careful when taking pictures, the stone for taking pictures is a bit dangerous⚠️Those who are afraid of heights are advised not to go!

They say it's hot here? I don't believe it | Qida Village
| Qida Village. It's really too beautiful! It has the architectural characteristics of Fujian fishing villages, and it's not inferior to foreign countries at all! You must choose a sunny day to come, the sun can better highlight the spectacular city under the mountain ⛰️
We set off from Fuzhou during the New Year's Day period, originally planned to take the high-speed train, but we had to get on the bus back to the city before 4 o'clock, which was too restrictive, and we also wanted to play other attractions around, after all, we came all the way.
So we changed our plan temporarily and chose to rent a car. We rented a Toyota Corolla, the car fee was 51 yuan + fuel fee was 70 yuan, it was really cost-effective If you can drive, it is recommended to rent a car 🚗 to go! Free and convenient～
Itinerary: Qiguanding + Beijiaobi Geological Park
🖼️Picture 1 was taken on the top of Qiguanding, it is recommended not to imitate, too dangerous, especially the small grass next to it, must not step on!! I'm still scared now

🖼️Pictures 9～16 are Beijiaobi Geological Park, a free attraction, but it is also a 30-minute drive from Qiguanding, about 700 meters away from the attraction there is a parking lot where you can park. Here's the key point, next to the parking lot there is a neatly repaired staircase that you can climb up, walk to the front there is a platform, covered with tall dead grass, taking pictures 📸 is absolutely beautiful, 🖼️Picture 5, Picture 13-14 were taken here.

Fujian version of Rio de Janeiro | Seeing the mountains and seas in my dreams
My family, have you started looking forward to the summer of 2024 recently?
If you want to go to the beach, don't miss Qida Village! It is definitely a treasure trove of less popular and beautiful scenery, known as the "Fujian version of Rio de Janeiro". My best friend and I just came back from there, it's really beautiful, I want to share it with you right now!!
We drove from Quzhou Jiangshan, arrived in Lianjiang County, Fuzhou at four or five in the afternoon, and stayed here at night. The next day we woke up and set off for Qida Village, and the scenery along the way was also beautiful. If you don't have a car, you can take a high-speed train or bus from nearby cities such as Fuzhou, Xiamen, and Wenzhou. The transportation is quite convenient.
There are two routes to the mountain:
Walk up 1800 steps.
The locals will take you up in an SUV, 20 per person for carpooling. We are a small car, afraid of scratching the car, and the road is not good, so we did not choose this way, if your own home is an SUV, you can drive up, but you have to return the same way.
We took a local car up, and we were shocked when we arrived, it was so beautiful! It is recommended to climb to the top of the mountain, the scenery is really worth seeing, I really like to see the sea, white clouds, snow, it's really healing!! Looking down from the top of the mountain, I really feel that my depressed mood has been released, it's so cool!!
After climbing the mountain, we went to Huangqi Beach around 4 pm, just in time for the ebb tide, you can catch crabs, squids and so on. And there are very few people here, you can also walk in, experience the feeling of a deserted beach vacation. Both attractions are free, I highly recommend it to everyone!
The attractions here are free, not as commercialized as Zhoushan, and the locals are very enthusiastic❤️. And there are not many people on the beach, the water is very clean, you can clearly see the fish and shrimp crabs in the sea, it's so cool!
Accommodation recommendation: A few kilometers from Lianjiang to Qida Village, there is a Ruolin Resort Hotel, only spent 288 for a room, the front desk let us upgrade to a sea view room, we played for two days, the next morning we went to see the sunrise at sea🌄, and went to Pingliuwei Geological Park, I will write another note to share later. In general, Qida Village is a very niche, original attraction, very suitable for weekends or small holidays to relax!
My family, I highly recommend you to go to Qida Village, you will definitely not regret it if you go!!

Escape the city plan | Go to the beautiful seaside of Fuzhou (with guide) ||| Who says you can't go anywhere in winter travel❓
At the beginning of this year, I chose to come to this niche island-Fujian Fuzhou Lianjiang County
The weather has been good during this period. I ate a bowl of noodles in Huangqi Town and drove to Pingliuwei to check in.
Here are the endless blue sky and clear blue sea, the volcanic rocks of various shapes, high and low, forming a unique coastal landscape.
🧭Navigation: Pingliuwei Geological Park
⌚️Time: 20-30 minutes from Dinghai Bay
🅿️Parking: There is a place to park here, just opposite the ticket office
🔅Pingliuwei Geological Park: Ticket🎫 Thirty
There are seaside plank roads and unique sea-eroded rocks🪨
Just during this period of good weather, you can walk around and take a casual shot🤳 and you can post a circle of friends with a lot of praise❗️
✨Tips:
Seaside🏝️ travel, hats🧢 sunglasses🕶️ are indispensable
Walk by the sea and feel the taste of the sea breeze
The reef at low tide is very suitable for taking pictures📷
🏫Accommodation:
I booked a room at the Ruolin Hotel in Dinghai Bay
The room is fully equipped and the super large floor-to-ceiling windows can see the boundless sea when you wake up
🍱Delicious food:
Who would have thought that you could eat so delicious in Dinghai Bay‼️
It broke my perception that there is no good food in the bay area
✅Finally, the little friends who are going to play here recently should look at the guide in advance and go when the weather is good. If you don't understand, you can ask me haha
