en.ptnet.cn | Updated:2024-03-20 | Lin Kongbo, StephanieAs the spring rain subsides, the early spring warmth of Pingtan Island embraces visitors with its gentle sunshine. Mr. Tang from Zhejiang Province, China, has arrived in a unique way – with his RV! He and his wife have embarked on a two-day adventure, exploring the island's beauty from the comfort of their mobile home.
Their first stop? The stunning Trunk Bay. Fine sand, crystal-clear water, and a breathtaking sunset painted the sky with vibrant hues. "We've traveled to many places with our RV last year," Mr. Tang shared, "but Pingtan feels particularly suited for this type of travel, especially during the off-season. The experience is fantastic!"
Pingtan's allure for RV enthusiasts isn't just a recent phenomenon. With its captivating island scenery, well-maintained roads, and historical villages, Pingtan has become a popular destination for those who love the freedom of RV travel. Travel blogger Qu Yi captures the essence perfectly: "Pingtan boasts a pristine environment, a convenient coastal highway, and charming old villages. Breathing in the fresh air under a starry sky, surrounded by such natural beauty, makes for a truly relaxing and unforgettable journey."
Recognizing this growing trend, Pingtan has actively embraced RV and camping tourism. They've developed unique experiences like "water sports RV camping tours," created designated RV camping sites like the one at Mount Junshan, and even hosted RV-themed events, attracting RV enthusiasts from all over.
To further enhance the experience for RV travelers, Pingtan Tourism Transportation Company has installed water and electricity points at key scenic locations, including the 68-Nautical-Mile Scenic Area, Tannan Bay, and East China Sea Wonderland. "Currently," says Lin Mingdong, "the Pingtan Cultural and Tourism Group is accelerating the construction of an RV camping zone. This project is expected to be operational by May 2024, providing a safe, professional, and comfortable environment for RV campers and enthusiasts."
With its picturesque landscapes, convenient infrastructure, and growing support for RV tourism, Pingtan is poised to become a haven for those who love to explore on wheels.
