Haitan Ancient City
海坛古城
A replica ancient walled-city cultural district beside Tannan Bay, with free-to-visit city walls, lanes and Fujian–Taiwan style buildings, plus the *Haitan Past* performance and lantern festivals on holidays.
Haitan Ancient City is the largest replica ancient cultural district on Pingtan Island. Located near Tannan Bay, it was newly built in the style of Ming and Qing city walls, with city walls, gates, stone-paved lanes, temples and many buildings in the style of eastern Fujian island architecture. Inside you'll find restaurants, snacks, guesthouses and creative shops. Public areas of the ancient city are free to enter, while some rides, exhibitions and performances inside charge separately. During major holidays, the large-scale live show *Haitan Past*, folk parades and night lantern festivals are often held, and it becomes livelier once the lights come on in the evening. A full walk-through takes about 2 hours, so plan for the evening, then eat seafood inside the city. A taxi from Tancheng takes about 15 minutes, and it can be combined with Tannan Bay and Jiangjun Mountain in one day.
