Despite encountering multiple crosswinds while crossing the 16.23-kilometer-long Taiwan Strait Bridge, we still made it to this scenic spot, the closest point on mainland China to Taiwan. We walked the first half, taking photos along the way, and took the shuttle bus back the second half.

I only visited Houyan Island on Pingtan Island, where the 68-nautical-mile boundary marker is located. Honestly, I wasn't expecting the water on Pingtan Island, but it was incredibly impressive. The water, reflecting off the blue sky, was incredibly blue. Perhaps it was because the weather was so sunny. Houyan Island is essentially a rocky island, so if it's sunny, bring an umbrella. The Pingtan Highway-Railway Bridge is truly spectacular; be sure to experience it when you visit the island.

The mountains and the sea are connected, the terrain is steep and rugged, the rocks are intertwined, the rocks are jagged, the scenery is beautiful, and it is a famous military exercise site in history, which makes it even more magnificent. It is a pity that some attractions are closed to visitors during the renovation.

📍 Highlights: Blue miracle under the night sky After 8pm, the waves rushed to the beach with fluorescent blue ripples, like stars falling into the deep sea. When stepping on the waves barefoot, every step aroused fragmented blue light, as if stepping on the Milky Way. It is recommended to turn off the light of the mobile phone and watch it quietly for 3 minutes. After the eyes adapt, you will find that the whole bay is glowing faintly. Hidden surprises in the daytime The emerald glass sea in the daytime is also amazing! Rented a transparent kayak (50 yuan/hour) to float on the jelly-like sea surface, and the fish swimming underwater were clearly visible. There are mini tidal pools in the reef area, and small starfish and green-shelled crabs were found. 3 Immersive light and shadow experience The starry sky projection plank road set up in the scenic area exceeded expectations (free), and the 3D light and shadow projected the picture of whales swimming under the soles of the feet, forming a fantasy of virtual and real interweaving with the blue tears of real waves. ⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls: 7-9pm on weekends is a burst of traffic, and the best photography spots need to be reserved 1 hour in advance The price of seafood in the fishing house outside the scenic area is unclear, and the "Langlixian" food stall 800 meters east is recommended Do not buy the so-called "blue tears cultivation bottle" (actually fluorescent liquid) from the stall 📌 Exclusive strategy: ✔️ Wear light-colored clothes! White clothes are like a built-in soft light filter when taking photos in blue light ✔️ Bring a mini tripod (30 yuan/time for rental in the scenic area), and long exposure of more than 30 seconds can take pictures of the magical silk sea ✔️ Pay attention to the real-time fluorescence index of the scenic area’s official account, and the viewing effect is best 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, "After being drunk, I don’t know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of clear dreams that press the stars." The romance of nature is always beyond imagination.
