📍Attraction Address: No. 108, Baidailiao Village, Weizhou Island, Beihai 🚗Transportation: Departure point: Beihai/Nanning → take a boat to Weizhou Island → free hotel shuttle (advance reservation required). • On-island travel: The hotel provides vehicle transfers & electric car rentals, perfect for the lazy traveler! 👍️Must-visit spots: 1️⃣ Island Bookstore This is arguably the most Instagram-worthy spot on the island. Upon entering, a long green path stretches toward the sea, as if leading to a dreamlike realm. Here, you can enjoy a quiet beach scattered with colorful coral and shells. The hammock under the shade is cool and peaceful—sit there all afternoon daydreaming, and time feels gentle. 2️⃣ Island Coffee The bright yellow seaside cabin is especially eye-catching and probably the most popular shop on the island. Sunshine and sea views complement each other beautifully. However, if you go in the afternoon to take photos, you might need to wait patiently for a spot. 3️⃣ Spring-Summer Cliff Garden Admission is 39 RMB, but it’s absolutely worth it. The garden’s winding paths and carefully tended flowers offer diverse scenery. It has lawns, a bookstore, cultural shops, and a restaurant for afternoon tea. Especially during the blue hour, it looks like a fairyland. 4️⃣ Pine Coffee This is a super chill spot located under a big pine tree by the sea. Occasionally, cute cats appear, so you can enjoy petting cats and taking photos at the same time. 5️⃣ Nanwan Street This seaside road’s railings make perfect photo props. At night, waves sometimes surge onto the road, “ambushing” passing electric scooters, creating scenes that are both fun and full of life. About Food 🦞 1️⃣ Sister Wang’s Seafood Very popular on Nanwan Street! Seafood is selected fresh and cooked on the spot, ensuring maximum freshness. The signature spicy crab has plump, firm meat coated in a rich, spicy sauce—one bite is super satisfying. Garlic vermicelli steamed scallops have garlic aroma perfectly infused into the scallops, and the vermicelli soaks up the fresh flavor—once you start, you can’t stop. Around 100 RMB per person for a sumptuous seafood feast. 2️⃣ Qiong Da Fermented Vinegar Hotpot The fermented vinegar hotpot is the restaurant’s signature. The sour and spicy broth smells amazing as soon as it’s served. Fresh seafood and crunchy vegetables dipped in the broth absorb the unique flavor, offering rich layers of taste that are sour, spicy, and appetizing. You won’t stop at one bowl. Around 80 RMB per person for a filling and satisfying meal. 3️⃣ Grandma’s Coconut Chicken The soup base is made from sweet coconut water paired with tender chicken. After cooking, start with a bowl of the clear, sweet soup full of coconut aroma. The chicken is cooked just right—tender yet chewy. Dip it in the special sauce for an even richer taste. After finishing the chicken, you can cook various side ingredients in the broth. Around 90 RMB per person, warm and comforting. 4️⃣ Guibai Shaved Ice After seafood and hotpot, a serving of Guibai shaved ice is perfect. The finely textured ice has a variety of flavors—mango is sweet and rich, strawberry is fresh and refreshing. It’s topped with fresh fruit and toppings, both beautiful and delicious, making it an excellent choice to refresh and cool down. About 30 RMB per serving, very cost-effective. 💗Other tips: Bring plenty of sunscreen and wear sun-protective clothing.
