Blue tears in Pingtan are about to break out? Please keep this latest strategy for chasing tears.

Friends, in a blink of an eye, April is coming!

In April's seasonal drama, apart from enjoying flowers everywhere and enjoying the warmth of spring, what everyone looks forward to most must be blue tears!

Pieces of blue fluorescence like blue tears are scattered all over the beach, and the scenery is fantastic, and every time I see the net map, I will be shocked.

So it is a small dream for me to see blue tears with my own eyes.

Chasing blue tears requires skill and experience, but also depends on luck. The difficulty is not small. Few friends around me have seen it three or four times and have never seen it. I haven't chased it yet, and I'm going to make efforts this year.

Looking at the blue tears in China, Pingtan in Fuzhou is the first choice.

Pingtan is one of the regions where blue tears appear most frequently in the world. Although blue tears will also appear in other coastal waters as long as conditions are suitable, such as Songyu Wharf in Xiamen and Bohai Coast, the probability of their appearance is extremely low, so it is not recommended to chase them deliberately.

Blue tears appear at different times every year. This year came very early, and it only appeared for the first time on March 2. Of course, it is not surprising that there is a hot search and the reading volume exceeds 100 million.

It seems that there are not a few friends who are as eager as I am, so I have done enough homework for everyone.

Where to go this year and how to chase blue tears? Besides blue tears, what else is fun and delicious in Pingtan? It is enough to read this article.

What are blue tears?

Before talking about raiders, let's go to popular science and shed blue tears.

Blue tears belong to a kind of marine red tide phenomenon, which can be vividly called marine flowering period, and are mainly caused by two luminous marine plankton fireflies and noctiluca scintillans.

The light-emitting glands in their bodies will emit light blue light under the stimulation of the waves, so when a large number of fireflies and noctilucent insects gather explosively, they will form a beautiful fluorescent blue ocean, just like tears flowing out of the sea.

The appearance of red tide often means that there are some abnormal changes in the local marine environment, which may be eutrophication of seawater or changes in wind direction and rainfall conditions.

Blue tears themselves are non-toxic and people can touch them; But in essence, as a red tide phenomenon, whether blue tears belong to marine pollution is still controversial.

Harmful red tide

But I still want to clear its name here. The appearance of blue tears is not a warning of water pollution, but it is precisely because the sea where it is located is very clear that it can be seen by us.

Only excessive noctiluca can lead to eutrophication, and the density of algae is accurately monitored by local scientists, so don't worry too much.

But we still have to insist on protecting the ecological environment!

When will the blue tears appear?

Blue tears in Pingtan usually appear from April to August every year.

Among them, April-May is noctiluca noctiluca blue tears, so now it is the prophase of noctiluca noctiluca blue tears.

Because noctiluca scintillans is a kind of cold water algae, when the water temperature exceeds its survival upper limit, blue tears will naturally disappear. The duration of this type of blue tears is also relatively short, generally about 30 seconds, and the tear catcher must always be prepared.

July-August is the outbreak point of firefly blue tears.

Fireflies are bigger than night light, so the granularity of blue tears will be clearer and brighter. Moreover, the survival time of firefly blue tears can reach 120 seconds, which is easier to catch.

According to different marine environmental conditions, the duration of blue tears varies from 1 ~ 2 weeks to 1 ~ 2 months.

In fact, chasing blue tears will be very hard, although after sunset, blue tears will appear in places where there are no other light sources. But generally speaking, the large-scale outbreak of blue tears is late at night (after 23 o'clock), and most tear catchers need to stay at the seaside after dark.

But at the moment you see the blue aurora in the sea, you will feel that it is all worth it.

How to chase blue tears?

As a natural phenomenon, Pingtan blue tears can be predicted in real time. Although the accuracy is not too high, it can provide us with a general direction.

Therefore, before departure, you can pay attention to the two Pingtan blue tears forecasts and Pingtan meteorology in the official WeChat account, and you can predict the location and probability of blue tears in the near future in real time. If there is a high probability of blue tears that day, both numbers will send a notice.

Chasing blue tears is really metaphysics and requires good luck, so many people bow their heads and make wishes instead of taking pictures when blue tears appear.

Although chasing blue tears mostly depends on luck, you can also make some simple judgments when choosing the departure date.

Blue tears, for example, only appear on sunny days. If it rains later, let's start another time.

And if the wind is southerly, the temperature is warmer, and the sea is still pale pink, the probability of blue tears erupting that night will be greater.

On Pingtan Island, blue tears are mainly found in Longwangtou, Changjiang 'ao, Dongmei Village, Tannan Bay and Houyan Island. Several points are not close, so it is recommended to concentrate on chasing one point every night.

After blue tears, it is suggested to live by the sea and rent an electric car to travel, because once blue tears break out, these points will be blocked with great probability.

How to shoot blue tears?

There are three elements in shooting blue tears: long exposure, large aperture and tripod.

Take a camera, set it to a large aperture of 2.8-4.0, bring a wide-angle lens and flashlight, and expose it for 4-8 seconds. If possible, it is best to bring a tripod and a cable release. Just turn on the long exposure function.

Besides blue tears, how to play pingtan?

Pingtan is the largest island in Fujian and the fifth largest island in China. It used to be called Little Kenting.

In addition to blue tears, the island is also very fun, such as driving along the open coastal road, watching windmills in the sunset and caves by the sea. The experience is great.

Pingtan is mainly played around the island, with a northern line and a southern line:

North Line: Donghai Fairyland-Beigang Wenchuang Village-Huandao Road-Jinsha-Changjiang Bay-Beibu Gulf Glass Plank Road;

South Line: Houyan Island-Haitan Ancient City-Tannan Bay-Trunk Bay.

This trip is mainly about chasing blue tears. Let's arrange some games near the tears. Eat and stroll during the day and be close to blue tears at night.

How to get to Pingtan?

First of all, talk about traffic. It takes about 5 hours from Hangzhou to Pingtan Station by high-speed train, and the fare is around 300 yuan, which is quite convenient.

If you live near Fuzhou, it is recommended to drive by car. Pingtan Island is not small, the distance between scenic spots is above 10km, and public transportation on the island is not convenient. It will be more efficient to charter a car or get off the high-speed rail.

Of course, it is not recommended to drive near the tear. You can rent a battery car to go in.

How to play in Pingtan?

_ Longwangtou

Longwangtou is one of the largest bathing beaches in China, with a coastline of 9.5 kilometers and good beach quality. It is the closest point to Pingtan city. Play in Pingtan City during the day and leave blue tears on the head of the nearest Dragon King at night.

The facilities around Longwangtou are also quite complete, and the younger facilities such as cafes and music teahouses are gradually enriched. You can swim and surf on the beach, or go camping with a tent. It is also an excellent place for Pingtan to watch the sunrise.

If you like to catch the sea, the dragon king's head is also suitable. There is a reef group in the sea between the main beach and Hongyan Mountain Villa, which will only be exposed to the sea when the tide is low. During the annual fishing ban, there will be trawling activities near coral reefs.

_ Changjiang 'ao

With good ecology and less light pollution, it is easy to see the purest blue tears in the Yangtze River and Macao.

In addition, the Yangtze River in Australia during the day is also very beautiful, and windmills stand at the seaside in a patchwork way, which is beautiful and spectacular.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of Longwangtou, there are fewer tourists in Changjiangao, the beach is quieter, and there is an amazing sunset+windmill landscape. Take a random group of photos of Japan.

The Yangtze River Olympics is next to the roundabout road, so you can go for a ride. There are often cycling teams on the road, which is very cold and really has the style of painting in Taiwan Province Province.

_ Dongmei Village

Dongmei Village is also one of the most frequented places for Blue Tears. On March 17 this year, the first blue tears appeared in Dongmei Village, so the chances of encountering them in April and May were quite high.

Dongmei Village is a simple small fishing village, surrounded by mountains and seas. Fishing boats are moored at the port of the village, and three or two fishermen come back from the sea in small boats, showing a quaint temperament, which is worth visiting and having a cost-effective meal in little seafood.

There is also a fairy well scenic spot next to Dongmei Village, which is a natural undersea cave. From top to bottom, it looks like a huge well, which is adjacent to the sea and separated from it by a huge stone wall.

The sea breeze swept the well water to the cliff, and a deafening noise could be heard on the cliff, which was magnificent.

_ Tannan Bay

Tannan Bay has good natural scenery and is also a bathing beach. Compared with the dragon king's head, it is not inferior at all. The blue sea, white sand and green forest can be swept away. There will be a bonfire party in summer night, which is very suitable for parents and children to have a holiday.

At the same time, it has a long coastline of 22km, surrounded by mountains, rich reefs and islands, and a wide field of vision. If there are blue tears, the scene will be spectacular.

If you are tired of playing and don't want to go back, just rent a tent next to you and listen to the sound of the waves.

_ Houyan Island

Houyan Island is the closest place in Chinese mainland to Taiwan Province Province, only 68 nautical miles, so Houyan Island is also called 68 nautical miles scenic spot.

The scenery on the island is not worse than the most beautiful expressway around the island. The whole island is almost unobstructed, open, bright and romantic.

There are good seats everywhere, whether it's beach trails or rocks scorched by the sun. Houyandao suggested coming at night, not too dark, and chasing blue tears on the spot.

How to eat pingtan?

_ Seafood porridge

Recommended restaurant: Maoji seafood porridge

You can't avoid this bowl of seafood porridge when you come to all the coastal cities. At the seaside, there must be enough seafood. Get rid of your hair and order a huge amount of seafood porridge. The simpler the ingredients, the more delicious they will be.

_ Bazhen Fried Cake

Recommended restaurant: Haitan special snacks

Bazhen Fried Cake is a kind of glutinous rice that can only be eaten in Pingtan. The sticky q bomb of sweet potato powder wraps the delicious seafood. Friends who like glutinous rice and seafood like me probably won't stop chopsticks.

I'm not saying that Pingtan people really know ingredients.

_ salty rice time

Recommended restaurant: none (roadside stalls are enough)

Salted rice should be the most famous traditional snack in Pingtan! In my opinion, it's a bit like Qingming Tuanzi in the south.

However, in the south, pickles or bean paste are usually packaged. Here, the stuffing naturally becomes all kinds of seafood, and it is also seafood+glutinous rice. I can eat three at a time.

_ Fried Oysters

Recommended restaurant: 68 seafood food stall (Houyandao branch)

Fried oysters are a classic street snack in southern Fujian. In Pingtan, laver will be mixed with all kinds of food and become a wonderful combination.

The oyster fried with laver is wrapped in a crispy taste, which is a wonderful taste of adding fresh on top.

_ Fish balls, fish dumplings

Recommended restaurant: Shi Lai Run Pingtan snacks.

Pingtan fish balls have many kinds of fish noodles, such as eel balls, mackerel balls, fish balls and small fish balls. In fact, all kinds of fish are mixed with cassava flour in different proportions, which is a bit of Wenzhou fish soup. QQ play, the soup is very fresh and sweet.

Eat eight pounds a meal.

Fish dumplings are even more special, with thin skin and deep stuffing. They are also delicious when dipped in them, like Pingtan crystal shrimp dumplings.

_ Seafood noodles

Recommended restaurant: clear soup and noodles (Xihang Road Branch)

The local seafood noodles in Pingtan will be lighter than those in other places, but the flavor will be more pure.

You can order a bowl of noodles for 30 yuan. The seafood is so tightly spread that you can't even see the surface. It's super fresh.

Finally, some suggestions on transportation and accommodation in Pingtan are attached. Good luck to all, and good luck to all!

Also welcome to talk about your experience of chasing tears in the comments section!

/traffic tips/

Starting from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, take the high-speed train to Pingtan Station, about 5 hours; If the starting point is close to Fuzhou, self-driving is more recommended; Pingtan Island is very large, and the scenic spots are far apart, so it is convenient to drive by car or get off the high-speed rail.

There are two main types of transportation on the island: self-driving and battery cars; It is cheaper to rent a car and drive by car, but after the blue tears enter the outbreak period, the number of tourists in Pingtan Island will suddenly increase sharply, especially in the traditional punching place like Huandao Road, the mobility of battery cars will be greater;

There are tourist buses between scenic spots along the coast. WeChat pays attention to "Pingtan Tourism Passenger Transport" to see the details.

/Accommodation recommendation/

Hotels/guesthouses in Pingtan are mainly concentrated in county towns, and the prices are relatively moderate; There are many choices for homestays on the island. The densest place is in Beigang Village, which is also a very suitable place for strolling, and the supporting facilities will be relatively complete.

Some small islands with beautiful scenery but little development have only natural villages, so accommodation is difficult to solve. Outdoor enthusiasts can consider camping with tents when the temperature is warmer.
