Pingtan Island, located in China’s Fujian Province, close to the Taiwan Strait, is known for its picturesque scenery and rich tourism resources. It boasts not only enchanting island views but also a wealth of traditional culture. To better showcase Pingtan’s “Fu” culture to the world and further the development of Pingtan as an international tourism island, the Media Center of Technology Culture & Sports of Fujian Media Group and the Tourism,culture and sports bureau of Pingtan comprehensive pilot zone organized the “Fu Culture to the World—Fu Culture Short Video Exploration Series.” International students and media reporters were invited to explore Pingtan and experience the island’s romantic vitality and cultural charm. This short video series is a genuine record of their visit to Pingtan.
BUI THI LINH, a Vietnamese international student from Fuzhou University of International Studies and Trade who loves Chinese culture, visited Pingtan’s 68 Nautical Mile Scenic Spot during this trip, the closest point on the mainland to Taiwan. She successfully unlocked the secret to its popularity as a social media hotspot. On this island, just 68 nautical miles from the Nanliao Fishing Harbor in Hsinchu, Taiwan, she observed:
- Ink Pillars, resembling ink falling from a pen as if writing letters home;
- Concentric Window, like a stamp frame, through which Taiwan Island can be seen across the sea;
- The Eye of the Channel, like a huge eye, looking forward to the child returning to the mother’s arms;
- The 68 Beacon Tower illuminates the way home;
- The Watchstone Array, where all the humanoid stones face the sea as if waiting for the return of their children.
Every scene in the 68 Nautical Mile Scenic Spot symbolizes deep longing and concentric connection. It perfectly blends natural scenery and artistic landscapes, embodying a romance that resonates with every Chinese person. All of this deeply moved BUI THI LINH, who profoundly appreciates Chinese culture.
