Sea breeze, sunset, and a slight buzz—our anniversary was a perfect score.

Sitting by the infinity pool, with the mesmerizing blue sea and sky merging behind me, every snap feels like a blockbuster shot! This time, I unlocked a hidden gem in Pingtan—the Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Cliff Seaview Guesthouse. The southern location is absolutely top-notch, sharing it with those who want to get the same vacation vibe~

🌊 A visual feast of highlights
• 270° suspended infinity pool facing the ocean, silhouette shots at 9 AM against the backlight, sparkling pool at 4 PM—each time of day offers a different filter!
• Cream-colored Mediterranean buildings + cactus greenery, wearing a white long dress or a bright bikini, every pose looks like Santorini!
• You can watch the sunrise and sunset right in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the room, a lazy person’s dream without having to wake up early to hike. Both the bedding and bathtub face the sea (don’t forget your bubble bath balls!)

📍 Location & Transportation
• A secret fishing village in Aoqian Town, navigate to "64-1 Tianjiaowei," super convenient for self-driving and parking
• About 15 minutes by car from Pingtan High-Speed Rail Station, taxi recommended (just tell the driver "Yuxi Guesthouse," locals all know it)
• Private beach just a 5-minute walk away, ten times less crowded than Longfengtou, you can find little crabs at dusk while beachcombing

📸 Top 3 photo spots
1️⃣ Floating afternoon tea in the pool (advance booking required)
• Mango sticky rice + pink sparkling wine, a perfect prop for photos; ask the housekeeper to sprinkle flower petals for a dreamier effect
2️⃣ Rooftop terrace starry sky bathtub
• The atmosphere is perfect after lights come on at night; with a wide-angle lens, you can capture the bathtub and the Milky Way in one frame
3️⃣ Spiral staircase overhead shot
• Shoot down from the third floor, the curve of the stairs and the sea horizon create a perfect composition; twirling in a long dress for a candid shot is amazing

💡 Tested tips
• On sunny days, the pool reflects sparkling light—wear sunglasses to avoid squinting! Cloudy days are better for moody shots
• The guesthouse offers a free photographer (book in advance), very patient with posing guidance, and delivers original photos directly
• No convenience stores nearby, so buy snacks and drinks in town; you can order takeout for late-night snacks but delivery is slow

🍽️ Nearby activities
• Walk 5 minutes to the fishing port to watch fishing boats return; the evening light is perfect for cultural photography
• Drive 15 minutes to Tannan Bay, the glass-clear sea at No. 7 Beach is great for snorkeling
• The housekeeper recommends a local seafood stall where mantis shrimp are bigger than your palm!

⚠️ Notes
• It’s windy by the sea! Bring a light jacket to avoid chills in the morning and evening
• The pool is 1.5 meters deep; if you have kids, bring floaties
• Book at least one month in advance during peak season; sea view rooms are super popular

The housekeeper said they recently added a sea swing and rainbow stairs. I’m already excited for my second visit 👏 If you’re hesitating about where to stay in Pingtan, choosing this place is definitely a no-regret decision. Your social media grid will be legendary!
