⏰When to catch the blue tears:
Blue tears in Pingtan Island are generally seasonal and are most likely to appear from March to May. This is the best time to try and catch them successfully.
🎈Conditions for an outbreak: When there is a southern wind, the temperature is around 21-25°C, the air humidity is high, and the tide is rising.
Blue tears tend to explode between April and June, with levels ranging from 3 to 5.
They have a chance of appearing between 21:00 and 2:00. It is recommended to go at around 9 p.m. (for reference).
PS: Mainly based on tidal time
📍Where to catch the blue tears:
Northern line: Moleng village, Lanpan village, Nanaozi, Yutang village, and Maotouqian
Southern line: Tannan Bay, Tianmeiao, and Dragon King's Head Beach
The appearance of blue tears is random and depends on where the seaweed is blown by the sea breeze. The probability of the appearance of blue tears is higher in the northern part of the island.
As the places where blue tears appear tend to be congested, if the distance is not too far, it is recommended to use a motorcycle. If the distance is far, drive a four-wheeled vehicle to the entrance of the village and walk inside.

💙Notes:
1️⃣For friends riding electric bikes, many blue tears chasing spots do not have lights, so be careful when driving at night.
2️⃣The beach is darker at night and tends to be crowded and chaotic, so be careful, stick to your companions, and do not go to remote and deserted areas.
3️⃣The beach is windy, so be sure to bring a windproof jacket, mask, and rain boots. Do not go far from the shore.
Finally, to catch the blue tears, you need good weather, good location, and good company. If you are not confident, you can find a local guide. I wish you all can see the wonderful blue tears 💧💧.
