The weather forecast is aired at about 6:55 am following the Morning News on CCTV channels 1 and 13. Pingtan got a five-second frame with weather information for three consecutive days.

Making it onto CCTV’s weather forecast is of great significance to the promotion of Pingtan’s image, said Gao Chengliang, director of the local meteorological bureau.

The background photo – a customs checkpoint – is taken by local reporter Nian Wangshu. There is an alternative photo too which captures the beautiful landscape of Shipaiyang Reefs, said Gao.
