The Pingtan International Beach Music Festival kicked off on Longwangtou Beach in Pingtan, Fujian province on June 10.

One of a series of activities held alongside the 2017 Ocean Cup China (Pingtan) International Cycling Tournament, the music festival got the city pumped up for the race the next day.

The festival, featuring a mix of singers, dancers and catwalk shows, offered the audience a fantastic audiovisual feast. Thousands of glow sticks waving to the beat lit up the whole beach.

"It is really cool to watch such a wonderful performance at a place near my home," said Yu Ning, a local Pingtan resident.

In addition to the concertgoers, on the night a raft of visitors pitched their tents along Longwangtou Beach to enjoy the captivating moonlight shed on the rippling sea waves.

"I just saw the moon rise slowly over the sea, it was very romantic and beautiful," said Lin Lin, a tourist who came from Fuzhou, provincial capital of Fujian province, with a dozen of her friends.

"It is my first time to visit Pingtan, and I was taken aback upon arrival," Lin added. "The sea is so blue and clear here, which is completely beyond imagination."

"Put up a tent at night to observe the moon hanging in the sky, fall asleep with the sound of sea waves lapping the beach, and watch the sun rise slowly above the water the next morning," said another visitor, summing up the day as an experience of a lifetime.

Many visitors were also attracted by the caravan exhibition organized on the same site.

"Caravans offer people a way to travel more casually," commented Luo Zhijie, a member of staff at the exhibition.
