Driving to enjoy the splendid cherry blossom season in Fujian, a guide to the must-visit places for a self-driving tour in Fujian province

Do not forget the promises you made to yourself, do not forget the faraway places you promised yourself to go. To be able to go wherever you want at a moment's notice is life's most extravagant indulgence and also its most brilliant freedom.

Changjiang'ao Wind Turbine Array

Located in Pingtan County, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, the Changjiang'ao Wind Turbine Array is a paradise for travel and photography enthusiasts. It is the largest wind power field in Fujian Province, with wind turbines arranged in an orderly manner. The combination of the blue sea, wind turbines, blue sky, and white clouds creates a fairy-tale-like beautiful scene. The vast sea, golden beaches, rolling waves, strong sea breeze, azure sky, white clouds, green fields, and rows of towering wind turbines will refresh your mind and make you reluctant to leave. Compared to most islands with fine white sand, the large black sand beaches here are particularly rare. Those who have visited know that this is a photography paradise, with picturesque scenery of blue sky, white clouds, and wind turbines everywhere.

Beigang Village

Beigang Village features winding coastlines, pristine beaches, stone-built houses, and a rich fishing village atmosphere. Despite its modest fame, it encapsulates all the characteristics of eastern Fujian. As the poet Haizi once said, 'Build a house, facing the sea, with spring blossoms.' This must be the place. The village gained recognition when the TV show 'Where Are We Going, Dad?' was filmed here, introducing many people to this stone-built fairy tale town.

Donghai Wonderland

Donghai Wonderland is located on the southern slope of Wangye Mountain. Here, there is a natural sea-eroded vertical well called 'Xianren Well' with a diameter of nearly 50 meters and a depth of more than 40 meters. The well walls are steep, and at the bottom of the well, there are three small caves connected to the ocean. Next to 'Xianren Well' is a large canyon that looks like a crack in the middle of the mountain, called Xianren Valley. Outside the valley is the vast ocean, and on the side, there is a small cave connected to Xianren Well. When the tide is low, visitors can enter the well along the rock walls. The bottom of the well is covered with round pebbles, naturally formed by sea erosion.

Meizhou Island

On this small island, the sea is blue and the air is fresh. Meizhou Island is known as the 'Penglai of the South'. It boasts over 30 scenic spots, including the captivating Meiyu Tide Sound, Meizhou Ancestral Temple, 'Eastern Hawaii', Jiubaolan Golden Beach, and the 'Little Stone Forest' Goose Tail Strange Rocks.

Quanzhou Bay Cross-sea Bridge

Quanzhou Bay Cross-sea Bridge is located in Quanzhou, the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road and the East Asian Cultural Capital. The bridge spans from Jinjiang to Hui'an, with a total length of 26.699 kilometers, making it the longest bridge in Fujian Province.
