Pingtan, a Shining "Pearl"

Seen from above, the more than 3,000-kilometer coastline of Fujian holds a shining "pearl", Pingtan Island. With 126 islands and 702 reefs, millions of years of geological change have shaped Pingtan into a place of "a thousand reefs and a hundred islands."

Across the vast ocean, with its deep blue waves, Pingtan has long guarded a key maritime route. The island's early settlers, skilled in living with the sea, built their homes along the coast. Through their daily life with the ocean, they developed a sea-faring culture full of adventure and dreams, giving this island city a rich and unique human charm.
