[2024 Pingtan Stay] Travel Guide for Pingtan Old Town Guyu Homestay (Updated Nov)
You won't want to leave! The scenery at this homestay is stunning.
The stay experience is excellent and great value for money!
The homestay is located on the north line of Pingtan Island, right by the sea!
It's a 5-minute drive to Changjiang'ao Beach and Jingsha, which is very convenient to visit in the morning and evening when it's not hot.
There are local restaurants and takeout within 300 meters, so you won't miss a meal.
The sea view is right there, and you can sit in your room and listen to the sound of the waves. You can watch the sunrise over the sea in the morning and the sunset in the evening.
There are many room types to choose from, so you can always find one you like. The rooms are tastefully decorated in a wabi-sabi style. The hostess is very warm and friendly, and the breakfast is delicious and plentiful.
The entrance is the best place to take photos. The homestay and the sea are almost integrated, and the photos are amazing!

It's the most beautiful season in Pingtan again, and here's a guide to the northern route for you to keep
Unique stone houses, vast sea windmills,
Lonely beach sunsets, beautiful island ring roads,
——This is Pingtan, Fujian,
Due to limited time on this trip, I took my child to play the northern route of Pingtan in a day and a half.
🌟Route: Xianrenjing—Beigang Village—The most beautiful island ring road—Jingsha—Stay in Tanshui Village—Changjiangao—S Bay Fairy Tale Town—Windmill Forest Road—Northern Bay Ecological Corridor
🌈Popular spots on the northern route:
1️⃣Xianrenjing: Here you can see cliffs and sea erosion wonders, like a mountain split in the middle, with goose soft stone scattered at the bottom of the valley, and the surging waves in front.
2️⃣Beigang Village: A cultural and creative village that became famous because of the filming location of 'Where Are We Going, Dad?', but I don't think there's anything special, just a small village by the sea with stone houses, most of which have been converted into homestays. It's suggested that you can skip this place ❌
3️⃣The most beautiful island ring road: A ring road between Beigang and Changjiangao, with sunshine ☀️ beaches 🏖️, windmill fields, etc., and some corners of the road can be surprisingly open and beautiful, better seen with eyes than captured in photos 📸. There are many snack stalls along the road where you can eat while strolling.
4️⃣Jingsha: Known as the 'Little Iceland'! Besides the beach, there is also a large area of black volcanic rock. On the left side of the beach, there is a black rock cave resembling Iceland's blue ice cave, where many people queue up to take photos. You can only enter during low tide, but the bottom rocks are sharp, so it's not recommended to take children there for photos. The black rocks by the sea are also photogenic.
5️⃣Tanshui Village Internet-famous swing: 📍Tanshui Village Committee, there will be signs by the road when you are close. It costs 10 yuan per person to swing for photos, and it's very photogenic with blue sky and white clouds, but I think it's a bit expensive.
Tanshui Village has opened quite a few homestays, the environment here is relatively quiet, close to the Changjiangao night market, and dining is within walking distance. It's also a frequent area for blue tears, recommended for those who like quiet.
I stayed at the Gucheng Jiuyu Homestay in Tanshui Village, with a very high first floor, a new environment, and an outdoor hot spring pool connected to hot water. This season, after the children play in the sea, they can soak in the hot water in the pool.
6️⃣Changjiangao: Super suitable for sunset photos, and when the weather is good, you can also see the windmill sunset orange sea. Dining is convenient, with many restaurants nearby, as well as a night market for you to choose from.
7️⃣S Bay Fairy Tale Town: 📍Yutang Branch Line, the lighting is beautiful when the weather is good, and the red-roofed church in the distance is very photogenic.
8️⃣Windmill Forest Road: At the end of the road are large windmills, forming a clear contrast with the size of people.
9️⃣Northern Bay Corridor: Pingtan viewing walkway, here you have glass walkways～postcard frames～message in a bottle beach～ring sea road
🌈Travel suggestions:
✅The seaside wind is too strong, don't wear short skirts! It's not recommended to let your hair down!
✅The UV rays at the beach are particularly strong, be sure to protect yourself from the sun! Reapply sunscreen frequently!
✅Don't blindly follow trends for photo spots! The coastal scenery is nice, and it's most comfortable to stroll and eat at a leisurely pace
✅When playing by the sea, pay attention to the tides and waves, and focus on your own safety!!
✅Although electric bikes are convenient, if the weather is too hot and it's not a holiday peak season, driving a car would be more comfortable.
