Pingtan Island / 平潭岛 

▶ Introduction / 介绍

As an island county located off the east coast of Fujian province, Pingtan is the closest place on the Chinese mainland to the main island of Taiwan. Pingtan county, also known as the Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone, is part of the China (Fujian) Free Trade Zone that focuses on further opening up cross-Strait communication.

Pingtan is the largest island in Fujian province. Its beautiful natural scenery and the local culture has been well preserved, and its many wetlands make Pingtan a paradise for birds. Thanks to its long winding coastline and abundant wetland resources, Pingtan is a perfect habitat for migratory birds to rest or forage during the winter-to-spring period. For Pingtan, the blue sea, silver beach and the green water and mountains are important environmental foundations for its sustainable development, and they are advantageous resources for supporting high-quality growth. The zone is seeing a boom in tourism development as it's actively building itself into an international tourism island.
