🏠 Pingtan Accommodation
City center or near Longwangtou is more convenient
We stayed at a hotel near Longwangtou, "Pingtan Surprise Unintentionally Retro Designer Hotel"
A hotel decorated in French vintage Southeast Asian style, rooms feel great and facilities are complete! The first floor combines a café and Western restaurant~ also a very photogenic check-in spot!
