The winding coastal line of Pingtan Island, Fujian province, stretches for 408 kilometers, including 100 km covered by a sandy beach.

There are three main beaches located in the north, east and south of Pingtan Island – Changjiang'ao Bay, Haitan Bay and Tannan Bay. Boasting fine sands and limpid seawaters, the beaches meet the requirements for a coastal tourism beach. The beaches are interconnected at a large span with lush shelter forest belts and island reefs.

The beach along the Tannan Bay and Haitan Bay is around 40 kilometers long, and it is also one of the largest domestic seaside-bathing destinations. Photo by Ke Jian / Provided to China Daily
