Where and how to chase Blue Tears this year? Apart from Blue Tears, what else is fun and delicious in Pingtan? Just read this article.

What are blue tears? Before talking about the strategy, let’s first learn about blue tears.

Blue tears are a kind of marine red tide phenomenon, which can be vividly called the marine blooming period. It is mainly caused by two kinds of luminous marine plankton: Helicobacter hisi and Noctiluca.

The luminescent glands in their bodies will emit light blue light when stimulated by the beating of waves, so when a large number of sea fireflies and noctiluca gather in an explosive manner, a beautiful fluorescent blue sea will be formed, just like tears flowing from the sea.

The occurrence of red tide often means that there are some abnormal changes in the local marine environment, which may be eutrophication of seawater, or changes in wind direction and rainfall conditions.

Blue tears themselves are non-toxic and can be touched by people; however, as they are essentially a red tide phenomenon, whether blue tears are marine pollution is still controversial.

Harmful red tide, but here we still want to correct its name. The appearance of blue tears is not a warning that the water body is polluted, but it is precisely because the sea water in which it is located is very clear that we can see it.

Only excessive amounts of Noctiluca will cause eutrophication of water bodies, and the density of algae is precisely monitored by local scientists, so there is no need to worry too much.

But we still have to insist on protecting the ecological environment! When do blue tears appear? Pingtan blue tears usually appear from April to August every year.

Among them, April to May are noctilucent algae-type blue tears, so now is the early stage of the appearance of noctiluca blue tears.

Since Noctiluca is a cold-water algae, blue tears will disappear naturally when the water temperature exceeds its upper limit of survival.

The duration of this type of blue tears is also relatively short, usually about 30 seconds, and tear chasers must always be prepared.

July-August is the outbreak point of sea firefly blue tears.

The sea firefly itself is larger than Noctiluca, so the particle size of the blue tears will be clearer and brighter.

Moreover, the survival time of sea firefly blue tears can reach 120 seconds, making them easier to capture.

Depending on the marine environmental conditions, the duration of blue tears' appearance varies each year, ranging from 1 to 2 weeks to 1 to 2 months.

Chasing blue tears is actually very hard, although after sunset, blue tears will appear in places with no other light sources.

But generally large-scale outbreaks of blue tears occur late at night (after 23:00), and most tear chasers need to stay at the beach after dark.

But the moment you see the blue aurora appear in the sea, you will feel that it is all worth it.

How to chase blue tears? As a natural phenomenon, Pingtan blue tears can be predicted in real time. Although the accuracy will not be too high, it can provide us with a general direction.

Therefore, before setting off, you can pay attention to two public accounts in Pingtan that predict the location and probability of blue tears in the near future in real time. Pingtan Blue Tears Forecast and Pingtan Weather.

Chasing blue tears is really a metaphysics and requires good luck, so many people don’t take pictures when blue tears appear, but bow their heads and make wishes.
