At Tannan Bay Scenic Area, the magic of Pingtan comes to life: visitors splash in the crystal-clear waves, linger on scenic viewing platforms to snap postcard-perfect photos, or wander through sun-dappled jungles to capture unforgettable moments that will last a lifetime.

"Pingtan is absolutely stunning – its sea is unlike anything I've ever seen," gushed Zhang Lizi, a traveler from Xi'an. "Yesterday, I explored Jingsha, where jet-black reefs boast an oil-painting texture that feels straight out of Iceland. This morning, 68-Nautical-Mile Scenic Area wowed me with its quirky, one-of-a-kind rock formations. And now, at Tannan Bay, I'm greeted by a vast stretch of powdery sand and vivid blue waters. One island, three incredible landscapes – it's truly unique! Plus, the fresh seafood is unbeatable; from food to accommodation, every part of my trip has brought me so much joy. I'm obsessed with Pingtan!"
