Pingtan: windmills and the sea

Pingtan is a stop on Blue Tears Island worth making a special stop. For 2 days and 1 night, between Pingtan Island and Blue Tears, you'll encounter the unique atmosphere of Pingtan.

The first impression Pingtan gives is almost always Pingtan Island. When it actually appears before your eyes, the imagination in the picture suddenly gains weight, and the journey officially begins from that moment.

When it comes to Pingtan, locals often first mention Blue Tears. Only after experiencing it do you realize that landmarks are never isolated scenery, but the entrance to an entire period of life.

Hidden within the stone houses lies another side of Pingtan. With less noise from tourists and more daily warmth, you suddenly feel like you've briefly become one of these people.

If you have the energy, go take a stroll in the windmill field. There's no standard answer there, only your own rhythm, just filling your itinerary perfectly.

Pingtan taught me one thing: you don't have to chase every sight, just like Pingtan Island taught me—the best scenery is often where you're willing to stop and look carefully.
