Fujian's 3,752-kilometer coastline hides China's wildest romance!🌊
No need to chase attractions—just roll down your windows, and you'll have the entire Pacific Ocean as your soundtrack~🎶
Here’s where to go on the viral Fujian coastal road trip👉
🌟 Must-Visit Hidden Gems Along the Way
**First Stop: Ningde**
1. **Donghai No.1 Coastal Road**
A 100 km cliffside highway with the blue-and-white Haiwei Castle🏰
Windmill forests, rainbow rest stops—every pullover is photo-ready! (Winds are strong by the cliffs—hold onto your hats!)
2. **Sunset at Dongbi Village**
Golden tidal flats, fishing boats returning to harbor🌅
Stay at a 270° infinity pool B&B and watch the sky melt into the sea.
Pro tip: Capture mirror-like tidal reflections + silhouettes of fishing rafts—super photogenic!
3. **Xiawei Island Sea Erosion Cave**
Step into a 100-million-year-old cave framing a crystal-clear sea
Reachable by a 5-min walk at low tide—photos here are unreal📸 (Watch your step—wear non-slip shoes!).
**Second Stop: Pingtan**
1. **Dalian Island’s “Sky Gate”**
A 20m-tall sea-eroded arch only accessible at low tide!
Walk on colorful pebble beaches, dig for wild abalone, and catch crabs🦀 (Take them home for free!).
2. **Northern Ecological Corridor**
Windmills + glass walkway + bioluminescent sea🌌
Though July misses the peak "blue tears" season, the starry Milky Way is still breathtaking.
**Third Stop: Quanzhou**
1. **Luojia Temple, Shishi**
A temple rising from the sea, where you gaze at the ocean from sacred halls!⛩️
At high tide, it floats alone on emerald waves—like a "Buddhist paradise" at sunset.
2. **Xunpu Fishing Village**
Wear floral hairpins, pose by oyster-shell houses, and be a "daughter of the sea" for a day💐
Must-try seafood: red crab roe and oyster omelets!
⚠️ **Pro Tips**
- **Check tide times**: Xiawei Cave, Sky Gate, and other secret spots require low tide access📱.
- **Car rental**: Plenty of options in Xiapu/Pingtan (book directly on Trip.com!). Fuel up for long drives.
- **Sun protection**: Combine physical + chemical sunscreen—road trips + beaches are a UV double whammy.
- **Seafood recs**: Shishi beachside stalls/Xiapu Dajin Fish Market. Razor clams, mudskippers, abalone... feast for ¥50/pax🦞!
Where wheels meet waves, half is azure poetry, half is earthly life.
This summer, let the free ocean breeze rush through your windows💙
