Things to note when traveling to Pingtan Island:

1. About sun protection

When I went there, the sun was not very strong and the temperature was around 25 degrees. I didn’t think sun protection was important because it wasn’t very hot, so I only applied it on my face and hands, and wore slippers on my feet. When I got back to school, I found that half of my feet were white and half black, so sun protection is very important. Don’t think that you won’t pay attention to it if you don’t have the sun. Ultraviolet rays are very strong! So be sure to remember to wear sunscreen!

2. About clothing

Pingtan Island is very hot at noon and very cold at night. The wind is very strong, very strong, so friends who go there must remember to bring a thicker layer. If you want to wear a small skirt, you should also remember to wear stockings or change into long pants at night. Otherwise, it is very humid and windy at the beach, so you still have to pay attention to your health.
