Pinghe County is located in the south of China's Fujian Province, under Zhangzhou City, at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong Provinces. It has a long history, having been founded in the 13th year of Ming Zhengde (1518), and is one of the important birthplaces of southern Fujian culture.
Pinghe has a rich cultural heritage, including the national cultural relics protection units of Jiaowulou and Zhuangshang Building and other earth building complexes. It is also the ancestral home of Lin Yutang, the world's literary master, and has nurtured a unique blend of Hakka and Southern Fujian cultures.
Pinghe is famous for the "Hometown of Koonji Honey Pomelo in China", and its Koonji Honey Pomelo is a National Geographical Indication product. In addition, Baiya Qilan Tea is also a local specialty agricultural product, which enjoys a good reputation both at home and abroad.
The county has beautiful natural scenery, with such landscapes as the Lingtong Mountain National Geopark and the Hakka Terraces in Daxi Town. With beautiful mountains and high forest coverage, it is an ideal destination for eco-tourism and leisure vacation.
Hattarvík is a charming village on Fugloy, the easternmost island of the Faroe Islands, located in a remote corner of the North Atlantic. This small community of only about 20 inhabitants is known for its magnificent natural beauty and isolated, tranquil atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for hikers and nature lovers.
Hatavik is nestled in a steep green valley surrounded by towering cliffs and rugged mountains overlooking the vast North Atlantic Ocean. The vicinity of the village boasts an abundance of bird habitats, including puffins, guillemots and other seabirds. The climate is variable and often shrouded in mist, adding to the mystique of the area.
Hatavik's history dates back to the Viking Age and the village retains traditional Faroese architecture, including grass-roofed wooden houses. According to legend, in the 15th century the village was ruled by the local chieftain "Froki of Hatavik". Today, the inhabitants live mainly from fishing and agriculture, maintaining the old way of life.
The journey to Hatavik is an adventure in itself, requiring a ferry or helicopter to reach the island of Fuglafjordur and then a hike through the spectacular landscape. The village offers simple accommodation and is the perfect base for exploring the pristine wilderness of the Faroe Islands. The best time to visit is during the summer months when the weather is milder and the days are longer.
