Experience water entertainment on Weizhou Island, come to Shiluokou Beach to play in the water and watch the sunset
🎢【Entertainment Experience Guide】
As a southern buddy who has been to Weizhou Island twice, I really recommend it. Both the scenery on the island and the water activities available are great. Weizhou Island is a volcanic island that is not very large, and there are some indigenous people living on the island. Although many outsiders do business here, it has not been overdeveloped. The scenery is beautiful. Watching the sunrise at the Colorful Beach and the sunset at Shiluokou is indeed very beautiful. There are also many water entertainment projects at Shiluokou, such as speedboat sightseeing, riding jet skis, paddling sea boards, leisure snorkeling, and magic carpets!

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
🥂If you want a lively place, you can stay near Nanwan Street, a street of bars/food

A visit to Weizhou Island is not complete without witnessing the stunning sunset at Shiluokou Beach
🧡Exclusive to the island, the orange sea sunset of Weizhou Island.
Romantic souls can never resist the sea, and I made another trip to Weizhou Island. During my 4-day stay, I saw the sunset twice, and the sunset at Shiluokou was truly beautiful. Friends who come to Weizhou Island must not miss it.

🍴Recommended two Shiluokou seaside restaurants: Qiugu Seaview Restaurant and Xingan Custom Bar. Both places allow you to dine while watching the sunset, and it's very beautiful as long as the weather is good. Weizhou Island is a trip worth taking.
•
🌄Quietly waiting for the sun to set at Shiluokou, listening to the music from the restaurant, and watching fireworks by the sea is a perfect day.

During sunset on Weizhou Island, watching the sun sink into the sea is so healing. Weizhou Island may not be big, but there are several great spots to chase the sunset, such as Shiluokou, Dishuidanping, Lanqiao, and the pier. This trip to Weizhou Island brought me many beautiful moments, and more importantly, relaxation and joy.

In the vicinity of Shiluokou Beach on Weizhou Island, the simple residents of the island have made their own houses a characteristic B&B for tourists to rent. Although not as luxurious as a star hotel, each B&B has its own characteristics. .
The 8th leisure village we stayed in this week, the boss is a very sentimental person. During the day, I will put my own "Lucky" and "Jinbao" two comets in the yard for the guests. Funny play. In the evening, put the sound and Mike on the empty ground, and the second becomes blue-tone music. Guests can sing their favorite songs at will.
Island tour is a must for seafood! The fishermen on the island are fishing for a large number of seafood every day. When the traffic was inconvenient, the island's seafood and bananas were used to feed the pigs and chickens. The seafood and banana chickens appeared on the tourists' table. There are many seafood restaurants on the island side. You can choose to eat seafood directly in the store. You can also go to the seafood market to buy the ingredients yourself and then take them in the store.
