Pingtan, a coastal city in Fujian Province and the closest mainland location to the island of Taiwan, is China's second international tourism island following Hainan. As a key zone for cross-Straits integration, it has recently added an exciting way to explore its beauty—low-altitude helicopter rides.

Visitors can board Robinson R44 helicopters, which carry 3 passengers per trip, to enjoy bird's-eye views of the sea and urban landscapes, exploringthe island from a whole new angle.

Currently, there are five routes, with distances ranging from 5 to 25 kilometers, covering spots like Pingtan Forest Park, 68 Town, Celestial Well and Tannan Bay. Custom routes are also available.

"As we flew along the coast, the view of the entire coastline was amazing!" said Lin Hong, a visitor after her helicopter tour.
