Fujian's most distinctive ancient city, no tickets required and no commercialization.
There is a place in Fujian that is known as the most distinctive ancient city in Fujian. No tickets are required and there is no commercialization, but unfortunately, too few people know about it! Curious friends may ask, where is this most distinctive ancient city in Fujian? What different scenery is there? With these questions and curiosity, let's talk about Haitan Ancient City today. Haitan Ancient City is located on the largest island in Fujian Province-Pingtan Island, and is located in the beautiful Tannan Bay Coastal Tourism Area. Pingtan County is referred to as "Lan", and Pingtan Island is the largest island in Fujian Province, facing the Taiwan Strait to the east. There are national island forest parks and Haitan scenic spots on the island, known as the "Island of Thousand Reefs". The "Blue Tears" is a unique feature of the local area, attracting many tourists to check in. The reason why it has become the focus of attention is also because of its geographical location-it is located at the narrowest part of the Taiwan Strait, only 68 nautical miles from Hsinchu, Taiwan.

Haitan Ancient City: A Journey Through a Thousand Years of Time
Hello everyone, I am your old friend, a travel blog writer who loves to explore the beauty of different places. Today, I am going to take you into an ancient city full of historical charm and mystery—Haitan Ancient City.🏯
As soon as you step into Haitan Ancient City, it's as if you've traveled through a time tunnel and returned to that prosperous ancient era. The ancient city walls stand there, witnessing the vicissitudes of time and the changes of history. Each brick and tile seems to be telling their stories.📜
Walking on the stone-paved roads of the ancient city, you can feel a sense of tranquility and harmony. The shops along the streets are full of dazzling traditional handicrafts and special snacks. I personally tried those snacks, and they were really delicious! Each bite is a deep experience of the ancient city's culture.🍜
In addition to the food and handicrafts, there are many attractions in the ancient city worth seeing. For example, the ancient temple, which is bustling with worshippers, venerates the local guardian deity. I made a wish there, hoping it would bring good luck to my travels.🏯
What impressed me the most was the night view of the ancient city. When night falls and the lights come on, the ancient city seems to be draped in a mysterious veil. I stood on the city wall, looking into the distance, feeling an indescribable emotion.🌃
This trip to Haitan Ancient City has made me deeply appreciate the profoundness of Chinese culture. It is not just an ancient city, but a living history book, waiting for us to explore and savor.📖
If you, like me, are curious about history and culture, then why not take a trip to Haitan Ancient City. I believe you will also be attracted by its charm and leave with unforgettable memories.🎒
