Just got back from Sanya, and I really don't recommend going in May–July because…

If you go to Wuzhizhou Island without a guide, you're really going to step on some landmines❗️ My dear friends, Wuzhizhou Island is truly as beautiful as paradise, but if you don't do your research, your experience is really going to take a nosedive! Here's a guide I've put together with a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. You're welcome to take it~ . 🚗 Transportation 1. Self-driving: Go directly to "Wuzhizhou Island Pier." The pier has a parking lot. Small cars are CNY 8/trip, which is quite a bargain since there's no time limit. After parking, just take a boat to the island. 2. Bus: You can take buses such as Route 28 and Haitang Bay Line 1, but the journey is quite long. Be sure to check the route and departure times in advance, otherwise waiting for the bus can be really annoying! 3. Taxi: It costs about CNY 60–90 to take a taxi from downtown Sanya, and the whole journey takes about 50 minutes. If you have a large group, it's not too bad if you split the cost, and it's also more convenient because it takes you directly there. . 🏠 Accommodation 1. Hotels on the island: Hotels like Wuzhizhou Island Hotel have luxurious facilities and super attentive service, and beautiful sea views right outside your door. The downside is that they're pricey, so go for it if you have the budget! 2. Seaside B&Bs: The prices are relatively affordable, and they're usually located very close to the beach. The B&B owners can also share all sorts of hidden gems with you. 3. Hostels: Suitable for friends who are traveling alone or on a budget. The atmosphere is relaxed, and you can meet many like-minded friends, but the accommodation conditions are definitely not as good as hotels~ . 🎡 Activities 1. Tickets: Tickets + round-trip ferry tickets cost around CNY 144. 2. Opening hours: 8:00–18:00. Last admission to the island is at 16:00, and the last ferry leaves the island at 18:30. Plan your time accordingly, and don't miss the last ferry. 3. Tour route ◦ Must-see attractions: ◦ Marine Star: Standing on top of it, you can overlook the entire island and the vast South China Sea~ ◦ Lover's Island: The seawater here is as clear as jelly, and the white sand beach is also beautiful. Stroll around and take pictures for a relaxing and photogenic experience. ◦ Activities: ◦ Diving: The underwater world here is rich. The fringing reef dive is suitable for beginners, and you can see colorful corals and tropical fish. Deep sea diving is suitable for advanced players, and you can explore mysterious shipwrecks. ◦ Jet skiing: Thrill-seeking friends shouldn't miss this. Speed across the sea and feel the speed and passion. . 👗 What to wear 1. Photos: You can prepare bright-colored dresses, such as yellow and red. Set against the backdrop of the blue sea and sky, the photos will look amazing. You can also wear resort-style outfits with straw-woven elements and prints to create a full-on island vibe. 2. Activities: Wear comfortable swimwear, beach pants, and flip-flops so you can easily go into the water and play on the beach. Also bring a sun-protective jacket that's both sun-protective and versatile. . ❗ Important notes 1. Check the weather forecast in advance and go on a sunny day to get better seawater colors. 2. If you're prone to motion sickness, try to sit in the back row or on the second floor when taking the ferry. 3. Prices on the island are relatively high, so you can bring your own snacks and water. .
