Pingtan North Line Deep Roaming: November's Mountains and Seas

In November, the Pingtan North Line sheds the hustle and bustle of the peak season, with the sea breeze carrying a slight chill. Whether driving or riding an electric scooter, every scene exudes a natural and serene charm, perfect for those who want to slow down and enjoy the sea.

The core area of Maotouqian Ancient Village, a filming location for "Where Are We Going, Dad?", is a scenic spot in itself with its homestays. 🎬
Red-tiled stone houses are built along the hills, with moss-covered walls and old brick carvings above the doorways that tell the stories of the fishing village. In the morning, follow the villagers to the well at the village entrance to fetch water. In the afternoon, bask under the century-old banyan tree, and in the evening, watch the smoke rise from the chimneys. In November, the village is so quiet you can hear the sea breeze whistling through the alleys.

Under the Banyan Tree Café, located near the homestay under a large banyan tree, features a wooden terrace facing the mountains and sea. The swing at the entrance brings back childhood memories. ✨ Order a local specialty seaweed jelly drink, sit here watching the distant wind turbines spin, and listen to the owner share the legend of how "Maotouqian" got its name from a cliff resembling a cat's head. It's both relaxing and stress-relieving. The November afternoon sunlight is perfect, and photos taken here need no filters to look stunning.

The North Line's must-visit spot is the Northern Ecological Corridor! With comfortable weather in November, renting an electric scooter to explore slowly is the most enjoyable way.

Wind Turbine Forest Road: The moment you enter the corridor, you'll be amazed! A massive white wind turbine stands in the middle of the road, with green trees on both sides shading the sunlight, creating a dappled golden effect on the road. Any random shot here looks like a Japanese-style fresh photo. 📸 When the wind blows, you can hear the "whoosh" of the turbines spinning, which is incredibly soothing.

F2 Viewing Platform: Standing on the platform, beneath your feet is the azure sea, and in the distance, a cluster of white wind turbines. Hidden in the mountain valleys are a few stone houses. The November sky is especially blue, making the scenery look even cleaner.

·

The S-curve road at the end of the corridor is stunning! The road winds like a white ribbon around the mountains and sea. On one side, waves crash against the shore, and on the other, colorful houses dot the landscape. In the distance, wind turbines spin slowly, making it feel like stepping into an anime scene. 🌈 Photos taken here in the afternoon sunlight capture all the beauty in one frame.

·

Changjiang'ao is the perfect spot to watch the sunset! In November, the sun sets early, around 5 PM. The setting sun slowly sinks into the sea, dyeing the water orange-red, with the shadows of the wind turbines stretching long. The tidal flats after the tide recedes are bustling, with people carrying small buckets to dig for clams, while fishermen sort freshly harvested seaweed. The purple seaweed hangs on bamboo poles. Sitting on the beach, listening to the sound of the waves and watching the fishing boats return, brings a deep sense of peace.
