On the first day of our trip to Pingtan, we checked into the absolutely amazing Elysea Manor! This sea-view resort B&B is simply Pingtan's hidden gem 💎 A French manor facing the sea, every casual shot looks like a vacation in Provence, filling you with romance~
🌊 You can see the sea and go clamming without even leaving!
The B&B is near Changjiang'ao, just a short walk to the beach to see the wind farm and stunning sunsets. Our room's balcony faces the sea, so we could watch the sunrise from bed in the morning 🌅 At night, you can hear the sound of the waves, which is super therapeutic~ The best part is there's a restaurant downstairs, a blessing for lazy people!
📸 A paradise for photo enthusiasts
The entire B&B has a French manor style, with Monet's Garden, an infinity pool, a retro corridor... every corner is perfect for photos! The smart home features and projector in the room are also a big plus, it's super cool to lie back and watch movies at night~
🍽️ The food is also very thoughtful!
Breakfast is good, and they even have afternoon tea! Their desserts are absolutely amazing, and the butler is super nice, delivering luggage directly to the room and recommending nearby clamming spots and popular swing photo locations.
🚗 What to do nearby:
• 5-minute walk to Changjiang'ao Beach
• Jing Sha Black Reef for photos (15-minute drive)
• Tanshui Village's popular swing (walkable)
• Northern Ecological Corridor to see the wind farm by the sea (self-driving recommended)
💡 Check-in tips:
• Be sure to choose a sea-view room!
• Ask the butler for tide times for clamming in advance
• Bring a white or floral dress for better photos
• Remember to book 1-2 months in advance during peak season
We had such a comfortable stay at Elysea that we didn't want to leave! It felt like a vacation by the French seaside, haha. We'll definitely come back to Pingtan again~
