This small island fulfills all my fantasies about the seaside
First of all, when you come to Weizhou Island, you must check the weather🌥️. Surrounded by the sea on all sides, if you want to take bright photos, you must choose a sunny day☀️ to capture the sunrise and sunset, because the pictures really turn out amazing on sunny days!
It is recommended to stay for two or three days to enjoy the slow-paced life!
⚠Book your ferry tickets before booking high-speed trains and accommodations!
🔍Search for 'Weizhou Island Come and Play' on the Princess number to make purchases. Be sure to book round-trip ferry tickets first, there are various types of tickets, everyone can choose on their own
🎫The regular price is 150 per single trip
🚢The ferries are basically on the 1st or 3rd floor, the 3rd floor has a sea view, but it's more shaky, if you get seasick or carsick, try not to choose the 3rd floor, just in case you can prepare motion sickness patches or medicine in advance😷
🚗Transportation:
Take the high-speed train🚄 to Beihai, then take a boat from Beihai International Passenger Terminal⛵ to the island
Ticket🎫: Adult admission to the island is 98 per person
🛵For transportation on the island, rent a small electric scooter🛵, basically ¥60/day, if you arrive on the island in the afternoon, you can bargain, about ¥40
⚠️However, many scenic spots do not allow electric scooters to enter, and then villagers will stop you on the roadside to collect parking fees, electric scooters🛵 parking🅿 is 5 yuan each time.
(☑️Key point: You can park on the small roads before and after the parking lot, where you can see traces of parked vehicles, many people park this way, and this can save a lot of 5 yuan)
🏨Accommodations on the island are mainly homestays
🌅If you want to watch the sunrise, you can stay near the Colorful Beach area, but it's not so bustling, more quiet
🌄If you want to watch the sunset, you can stay near the Shiluokou area

2. Processing prices: blanched for 10 yuan, steamed for 15 yuan, ginger and onion, spicy, salt and pepper for 25 yuan
3. Renting a small electric car for a ride around the island in Beihai or Weizhou Island is the best, 🉑 feel the romance of the sea breeze💕

Encounter a cactus frame on Weizhou Island | It's like a romantic painting
There are always some fascinating photo spots hidden on the island.

Sunshine, beach, waves, cacti ...
I love it here because it's the place to complete a spontaneous trip with you
Here, I really saw the scenery that resembles my grandmother's Penghu Bay🏖

💙 Location: Blue Bridge Shell Beach/🌵Cactus Frame

This is a 'natural' frame carved out of ruins
In front of me is the green of the cacti🌵, behind me is the blue of the sea💦
The stroke of nature is like a painting

🎬Photo Tips❗️
✅You can take pictures with your back to the sea and facing the cactus field, composing the shot so that both the distant sea and the nearby 🌵 are framed, with different layers in the foreground, middle, and background to enrich the image.
✅It is recommended to check the weather in advance, as it can be windy on cloudy days💨

🛵How to get there
This spot is located on the north side of the island, near the Blue Bridge. You can navigate to the Weizhou Island Viewing Platform and get there by electric scooter, but after the main road, there is a narrow path, a bit secluded
•
💡Tip
❶It's very important to go on a sunny day!
❷Both morning and afternoon are fine, mornings tend to be bluer and afternoons more yellow
❸This is also a great place to watch the sunset, the sunset and the Blue Bridge in the same frame are super beautiful

It's time to eat oysters, come here (Weizhou Island)
Second stop Weizhou Island
Once a refuge for Hakka people and a pirate treasure hiding place, now the "second most beautiful island in China" and a popular tourist destination. This youngest volcanic island in China has developed rapidly in recent years. In some people's mouths, she is already a disappointing small island, while in others' mouths, she is still a gentle hometown for urban people.
It's not difficult to tour the whole island in a day. Along the way, you can watch the sunrise on the shell beach, see the rare geological landscape of sea erosion cliffs, sea erosion caves, and sea erosion platforms in China when the tide recedes on the colorful beach.
In the Catholic Church, you can learn about the history of the islanders' ancestors opening up a new home under the leadership of missionaries. In Crocodile Mountain Park, you can see the spectacular landform formed by volcanic eruptions on the scorched earth. Finally, at Dripping Water Danping, you can enjoy the sunset or try the water entertainment projects on the island.
Camping on Weizhou Island is a very comfortable thing. The shell beach, colorful beach, dripping water Danping, and snail mouth beach on the island are all good choices.
Although the old divers will not dive here, the water quality and coral ecology near Weizhou Island are considered to be above average in China. It's okay for novices to experience it. The best diving spot in this sea area is the slanting sun island in the deep sea, where the sea water is clear and the sea floor is wonderful.
Snail mouth, South Bay, and Dripping Water Danping all have diving clubs, among which South Bay Water Sports Base is larger. There are also clown fish diving, volcanic island diving base and Xinchanglong diving tourism resort.
Sea fishing is a characteristic activity of Weizhou Island. The hot season for sea fishing is from March to June every year, and the National Sea Fishing Championship is held here in May.
The rocks by the sea of Crocodile Mountain are good fishing spots, usually yielding green clothes and grouper. The oil pier, piglet ridge, military pier, and slanting sun island hanging alone overseas are all excellent places for sea fishing. There are not many shops that rent fishing gear concentrated in South Bay, you can also go out to sea with fishermen to catch fish and live a pure half-day sea life.
