Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone

Fujian's largest island, drawing visitors with coastal beaches, sea-eroded landforms and the "Blue Tears" phenomenon.

Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone lies off eastern Fujian, centered on Haitan Island (Pingtan Island), and is one of the parts of the mainland closest to Taiwan Island. Winds on the island are strong and the coastline winding. It has beaches such as Longfengtou, sea-eroded sights such as Shipaiyang (Banyang Sail Rock), and the stone-house village of Beigang. In late spring and early summer, some bays may glow with the bioluminescent "Blue Tears." Summer and autumn suit seaside visits, though watch for typhoons, and winters are windy. You can reach the island by high-speed train or by car over the Pingtan Strait Rail-Road Bridge, with convenient links to Fuzhou.
