Weizhou Island Travel Guide: A Lazy Diary on the Volcanic Island

——"There's an island in Beihai so fun you won't want to leave!"—— 📍 Attraction Recommendations (with quirky commentary) 1. **Crocodile Mountain Volcanic Park** - Must-visit! This is what a volcanic crater looks like ↓ (Insert pic: your expression when squatting). - Actually the remains of an eruption from hundreds of millions of years ago—red rocks, black stones + turquoise sea and blue skies. Wear bright colors for photos, or you might blend into the rocks. - 💡 Money-saving tip: The 20 RMB/person shuttle? Skip it! A 15-minute walk saves you bubble tea money! 2. **Rainbow Beach** - Not "rainbow-colored black"! At low tide, seaweed on the rocks + sunlight = instant phone wallpaper. - Sunrise warning: Stunning, but if your love for bed runs deeper than the sea… never mind. 3. **Dripping Water Danping** - Cliffs that drip year-round (free facial vibes). At sunset, the beach turns into an orange sea—couples flock here, so singles, bring sunglasses. 4. **Nanwan Street** - The wildest (literally) street on the island! Waves often crash onto the road—riding a scooter might get you a "wet and wild" surprise. - At night, it becomes a bar-and-BBQ strip. Sea breeze + folk music = 50 RMB/person to pretend you're in Kenting. 🦞 Foodie Radar (Seafood lovers, rejoice!) - **Nanwan Seafood Market** - Bargain gold hour: 3-5 PM! Mantis shrimp, flower crabs, grouper… buy fresh and get it cooked next door (steamed: 10 RMB/jin, salt-and-pepper style = chef’s kiss). - Anti-scam mantra: "Boss, weigh it right, or I’ll cry at you!" - **Banana Pork** - Island pigs raised on bananas—so tender it’ll make you question pork’s purpose in life. Try the twice-cooked banana pork at **Shi Lu**, guaranteed to make you eat 3 bowls of rice. - **Dessert Freedom** - **Qiqi’s Sweet Soup Shop**: Coconut milk *qingbu liang* + mango double-layer milk pudding—sweeter than first love, priced as cold as an ex (15 RMB/bowl). � Accommodation Guide (Broke but Bougie) - **100-200 RMB range** - **Weizhou Island Qingli Homestay**: Minimalist style, 5-minute walk to Dripping Water Danping. The owner will teach you how to dodge crowds for epic photos. - Secret tip: Can’t book? Search "Weizhou Island fisherman’s homestays"—locals’ renovated houses, cheap but WiFi may be… whimsical. 🛵 Transportation Mysteries - Rent a scooter (60 RMB/day). If you’re a bad rider, get insurance (or cling to someone who can drive). - Pro tip: Ditch GPS—ask the banana-selling grannies for directions. Shockingly accurate. 💥 Hidden Easter Eggs - At low tide, hunt for shells at **Shell Beach**. Lucky finds include heart-shaped coral (more reliable than love vows). - After 9 PM, you might spot bioluminescent "blue tears" (glowing microbes).

If you’re both, congrats, you’ll leave here happily heavier!" 🌅
