Weizhou Island : Volcanic beaches
This island is found off the coast of Beihai, accessible by Ferry. It has beautiful beaches filled with interesting geological formations. I went in March and the weather was perfect - sunny in the middle of the day but breezy enough to feel comfortable.
The Island itself is very expensive to visit (2x ferry tickets & an entrance fee for the island) so I would recommend taking a couple of days and doing some diving or swimming while you are there to make the most of the trip.

The diving activities on Weizhou Island are not to be missed. Since you have come to the island, how can you miss the activities of going out to sea? If you like diving, then you might want to have a fun and exciting diving activity. There are not many opportunities to get in touch with the sea. You can also make a ginger grandfather, rent a sailboat, lie on the boat board and sunbathe, set a fishing rod and enjoy the fun of sea fishing.

If you have friends who want to come to Weizhou Island for May Day
This guide will meet your needs
Weizhou Island, as a famous tourist island in Guangxi
It has been popular for so many years for a reason,
This time on Weizhou Island, I felt that compared to other islands
It has fewer people, more beautiful scenery, and the seafood is really fresh and cheap!

A long seaside road, you can watch the sunset and take photos along the entire Nanwan Street! Many restaurants and bars on the street have excellent views for check-in photos, and there is also a cheap and fresh seafood market
2️⃣Shiluokou and Dishuidanping
Both beaches are excellent spots for watching the sunset, and the beautiful volcanic rock and dan rock photo spots are also here, be sure to check in and take photos to blow up your friends' circle
3️⃣Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area Volcano Island Group Park
Once you enter the scenic area and go down to the seaside, it's all coral stones, and there are various types of volcanic rocks. The most precious thing is that the sea water is very transparent and clear, and people around are always exclaiming that it feels like the Maldives!
4️⃣Seaside Swing
This seaside swing is on the beach outside the courtyard of Changfeng Homestay. Wear a long dress and a straw hat for a full atmosphere in the photos. It is recommended to go at one o'clock in the afternoon, there is shade from the trees, it's not hot, and there are no people
5️⃣Cactus Window
Navigate to the scenic viewing platform, and you can see it by the beach. You can also take photos in the shade at noon

The hotel is in a super location close to Dishuidanping, walk down the slope for two steps and you are at the bathing beach. The hotel is also an excellent sunset spot, with an infinity outdoor pool facing the sunset point, definitely the first choice for a vacation

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!

The most beautiful homestay on Weizhou Island is right here
🌟 A super beautiful homestay on Weizhou Island
The rooms are a bit quaint and the courtyard is huge with a swimming pool and a restaurant🍴
The courtyard is full of photo spots, perfect for sisters who love to take pictures
🌟 The service attitude is also the best among the places I've traveled to recently
Plus, there's a shuttle service from the dock, ready to arrange pick-ups and drop-offs from the island at any time
Breakfast and dinner are also particularly rich, with stewed dishes and silver fungus and lotus seed soup for dinner (it's rare for hotels to offer both breakfast and dinner)
🌟 The interior design is my favorite, and it's also great for taking photos in the room
Moreover, the stay is very comfortable, we booked a loft room with huge space upstairs and downstairs
The facilities in the house are also very complete, with a refrigerator, bathtub🛁, and two washbasins~

Zhang Xinyu didn't deceive me! It turns out that Guangxi is an underestimated tourism powerhouse
Guangxi is in my top 5 scenic provinces in China.
Before coming to Guangxi, I thought it only had Guilin.
After several visits, I discovered just as 'National Geographic' says,
'Guilin's landscape is the best under heaven, but every part of Guangxi is like Guilin.'
Not only does it have the only nearshore island where you can see whale pods,
but it also boasts the world's most beautiful highway and Asia's number one transnational waterfall.
No wonder Zhang Xinyu also loves to travel and enjoy the waters and mountains of Guangxi.
Over the years, I've collected many of Guangxi's little-known beautiful sights.
If you come to Guangxi, you definitely don't want to miss them~
1️⃣ Detian Transnational Waterfall
It can be said to be the most worthwhile place to visit in Guangxi, and in my opinion, it's the most beautiful waterfall in China. Zhang Xinyu has just been there recently. Personally, I think it's much more beautiful than the Huangguoshu Waterfall, and right next door is the Vietnamese waterfall, which is quite magical~
2️⃣ Goose Spring
In my opinion, it's the best of Jingxi's eight scenic spots. The spring here never dries up throughout the year, the water is clear to the bottom, surrounded by mountains, especially in summer, it's like a paradise on earth~
3️⃣ Weizhou Island
If you want to go to the seaside and ride an electric scooter around the island with your girlfriend, you can do it in Beihai, instantly feeling like you're back in Taiwan (where we met), with a youthful vibe coming right at you.
4️⃣ Mingshi Pastoral
It's perfect for idling away two days here, with the most beautiful pastoral scenery in Guangxi. You can also taste the special Saigon coffee on the way, and the view from the observation deck at sunset is absolutely stunning.
5️⃣ Haokun Lake
I've revisited Haokun Lake, with its vast and clear waters, it's like a forgotten paradise on earth, a casual snapshot is a beautiful landscape painting~
Zhang Xinyu's hiking route:
No ticket needed, navigate to Wai Tun, go up from the basketball court for 10min to reach the place overlooking Haokun Lake, the scenery along the cliff edge is all breathtaking, like jade embedded in the mountains.
6️⃣ Xianggong Mountain
The ancients did not deceive me, it turns out that the 'Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains' painting really exists! If you go to only one place in Guilin, it must be Xianggong Mountain, you must choose a good weather, everything you see is picturesque.
7️⃣ Jiu Zhou Ancient Town
Known as the hometown of hydrangeas, Jiu Zhou has been making hydrangeas for over a thousand years. It hasn't been overly commercialized, surrounded by green mountains, and the local snacks nearby are a must-try.
8️⃣ Dashiwei Tiankeng
In addition to Jingxi's karst landscape and the red culture theme of the city area in Baise, there is also the world's largest sinkhole group in Leye, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while having coffee in a cliffside café.
9️⃣ Tongling Grand Canyon
It's like coming to the end of the world, the canyon is known as the 'Earth's Crack', especially the waterfall, which looks like a scene from a fantasy martial arts drama. The ancient Longshan Grand Canyon next to it is worth visiting together.
As a future son-in-law of Guangxi, my mission is to share the beauty of Guangxi with everyone!!

I took the photo of a lifetime on Weizhou Island!!!
I took the photo of a lifetime on Weizhou Island!!!|||Sisters, the weather forecast on the island is really inaccurate
It was supposed to rain all day today, but it didn't come at all
Sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy
Shiluokou in the morning, Dripping Water Danping in the afternoon
After entering Shiluokou beach, head to the right and keep walking towards the reef, the spot for taking photos is quite inside, the path is not easy, try to wear comfortable shoes
The places with green moss are also very photogenic
The off-season is really fun, no queues for anything, it's truly awesome

Weizhou Island Travel Guide
1. To go to Weizhou Island, be sure to purchase ferry tickets in advance on the WeChat public account "Laiyouba". The lowest ticket price is 150 yuan, and if you buy tickets late, you may only have the option of 180 yuan or two to three hundred yuan cabins. You can choose one-way or round-trip tickets. If you are not sure about the return time, be sure to purchase a ticket before returning, otherwise a 10% handling fee will be deducted when refunding. I was once charged a handling fee for a ticket refund.
2. On the ship, you can go to the deck without purchasing an additional ticket. About an hour after the ship sets sail, the third deck will be opened for free.
3. Renting an electric car on the island is extremely convenient for travel. Some places quote fifty or sixty yuan, but I bargained with the landlord to 30 yuan a day. The farthest route only takes twenty to thirty minutes.
4. Touring according to the picture route is very user-friendly, thanks to the netizen who shared it.
5. The place where I stayed was near the Xia Luo Kou, and it only took two to three minutes to walk to the beach to watch the sunset, which was very convenient.
6. The best place to watch the sunrise is at the Colorful Beach. But be sure to ask the locals the day before to find out if there will be a sunrise the next day. We were unable to see the sunrise that day due to thick clouds. The locals said that if you can't see the stars at night, the likelihood of a sunrise the next day is small.
7. Be sure to try the green bananas sold by the locals, they taste especially delicious.
8. The Cliff Bookstore has a pleasant view, but you need to spend at least 98 yuan on a juice package to enter. For friends who like to take photos, this is a good choice, as you can take many beautiful pictures.
9. The round-trip ferry ticket to Weizhou Island costs at least 300 yuan, and the ticket to the island is 98 yuan. Children over 1.2 meters pay half price, which is 49 yuan.
10. For tasting seafood, it is recommended to go to the seafood market where locals in Nanwan buy seafood. The owner of the homestay recommended a certain stall, but I forgot the specific number. Afterwards, someone will lead us to have it processed, and the taste of the restaurant where it is processed is also quite good, giving a one-stop service feeling.
Overall, this trip to Weizhou Island was very pleasant, with comfortable accommodations and enjoyable play. I also joined the ranks of friends from Chongqing that I met on the ship. In the evening, we rode electric cars to Nanwan Street to buy seafood, which I would never dare to do alone. They followed my route for the tour, and I was responsible for navigating and leading the way, which was a lot of fun.
If you have any other questions, feel free to message me privately. I will spare no effort in sharing all I know. The seawater of Weizhou Island is very clear.

Do not go to Weizhou Island, or you will regret it!!
If you long for a seaside island, this is the first choice. Every inch of the island exudes an intoxicating beauty. The sea breeze gently brushes by, bringing a faint salty taste, like a whisper, telling a chapter of freedom.
The setting sun goes down, and the azure sea in front of you interweaves with the afterglow of the sunset into a moving painting.
👍Most recommended:
Shell Beach, Flame Dance Plaza, Colorful Beach Crocodile Mountain, Colorful Beach, Catholic Church Xia Shiluo, Cactus Frame
Dripping Water Dan Screen, Blue Bridge, Evening Cliff, Shiluokou, West Corner Pier
🌟Highlights:
Shell Beach
It is also a place to watch the sunrise, and you can pick up shells after watching
Colorful Beach
An absolutely beautiful place to watch the sunrise, reflecting in the sea like a vast mirror. The shallow waters near the shore are extensive, allowing people to walk into the sea for photos, but be careful not to cut your feet on the reefs
Dripping Water Dan Screen
The dripping stone cliffs, paired with tall cacti and matcha-colored rocks, make for great photos, but be aware of the many small bugs on the stone cliffs. The beach here is long, with fine sand and very clear water
Shiluokou
An absolutely beautiful place to watch the sunset, similar to Dripping Water Dan Screen, but with clearer water

Island Diary | Weizhou Island Travel Guide (may contain dissuasive content)
Sharing some tips while also helping everyone avoid potential disappointments. It's not that Weizhou Island is not nice, it's just not as great as described online 😅
Transportation✈️🚢
Flights from Hangzhou to Beihai are scarce and at inconvenient times, so I flew to Nanning, played for a day, then took the high-speed train to Beihai to catch a ferry to the island. Not flying directly to Beihai makes the journey more complicated...
The island is quite small, mainly e-scooters➕tourist buses. It's cost-effective to charter a tourist bus when in a group.
Accommodation🏠
Booked a homestay near the Colorful Beach for the sunrise, everything else was ok, but the breakfast was too perfunctory... It's been a long time since I've had such a sloppy breakfast (if you don't mind, you can PM me to ask).
Food🍽️
🔶Nanning
🔸Gui Xiaochu: Tastes good👍
🔷Weizhou Island (for the convenience of the elders, we dined near the scenic spots)
🔹Jiefu·Vietnamese Beef Pho: Can't believe this was my favorite meal! Nice environment, delicious💯
🔹Jingye Restaurant: Scenic spot, ‼️you can't see the sunset here, only the afterglow🫠Average dishes, but the environment wins.
🔹starry Starry Coast: Seaside scenic spot, average taste, located at Shiluokou Beach, where you can eat while watching the sunset, good for taking photos.
🔹Chicken Auntie·Coconut Chicken: Average coconut chicken, compared to the ones I've had before, I personally find it overpriced and in small portions.
🔹Daydream Fusion Restaurant: Passionfruit ribs are delicious (don't go to the coconut seller next to it towards the church direction, I bought a bad one, and when I found the seller within three minutes, he cursed and said I didn't buy it from him / 'See You Tomorrow' mango ice on the same street is okay🉑️)
🔹Homestay Lunch: The homestay bought seafood and processed it, which was the best seafood meal on the island🤤Banana chicken is delicious🐔
🔹Fruits: Jackfruit and bananas are delicious, there are also longan and starfruit trees near the homestay that you can pick and eat.
Itinerary📝
day1⃣️ Nanning
🟡Three Streets and Two Alleys
Similar to Wide and Narrow Alleys
🔵Night Cruise on Yong River
Suitable for accompanying elders, young people can skip it
day2⃣️ Weizhou Island
🟡Colorful Beach
The beach is small, the sunrise is nice, the rock walls are good for taking photos, ⚠️be careful
🔵Nanwan Street
Coastal, with bars, shops, and trendy restaurants, some shops are quite interesting, worth a stroll after dinner, but the road is narrow and prone to traffic jams, hard to get a tourist bus if it's too late😤
day3⃣️Weizhou Island
🟡Crocodile Mountain
A small hike, not tiring, the seaside is picturesque, clean, and clear.
🔵Dishui Danping
Didn't go because of the rain
🟡Shiluokou Beach
The sand is white, good for watching the sunset! Many water activities available.
day4⃣️Weizhou Island
🟡Catholic Church
The church and its surroundings are blocked off at every intersection to collect tourist bus fees, which is really unsightly❗️There's a small path you can navigate on your own, if you can't find it, you can pay a local 10 yuan to guide you.
Ordinary church➕back garden. Next to it is a street with restaurants, shops, and coffee shops.
🔵Shell Beach
Less crowded, feels okay! Really found some beautiful shells🐚
day5⃣️
After four days on the island, because of 🪖drills... tired, lay like a corpse for a day, got the return ticket in the afternoon and went back to Beihai.
But I really have to say, there's too much trash on the island🫣
QUINN BROOKS
I sincerely recommend joining a tour group when visiting Weizhou Island in Beihai during the Qingming and May Day holidays
Nowadays, many people prefer independent travel, and I do too, but not only is it tiring, it also requires a lot of research into travel guides beforehand, including booking hotels and attractions. Moreover, during holidays and peak tourist seasons, it's impossible to make reservations, and you end up just lying in a hotel for several days. Therefore, during holidays and peak tourist seasons, joining a local pure-play small tour group is really enjoyable and not very expensive, and they can help you avoid pitfalls!
However, when signing up for a tour, you must carefully check the company's business license and such, and not be tempted by low prices! Now, the prices of attractions and hotels are very transparent, and you can easily find out the prices by checking. Definitely avoid choosing options that are obviously too cheap, as no one is doing charity unless they are family or friends.
❣️First-time tips for visiting Beihai
🎬Don't go to the seafood stalls near Yintan Beach to eat seafood. The seafood there is expensive, scarce, and not tasty, which will disappoint you. I suggest going to Qiaogang Style Street, where there are many seafood stalls that are super affordable and delicious.
🎬When processing seafood, be sure to guard against seafood swapping. It's best to take a photo to remember the appearance of the seafood, and make sure to poke a small hole at the bottom of the bag to drain the excess water before weighing.
🎬Don't take private tricycles or motorcycles as these modes of transport have no safety guarantees and you can easily be scammed. Never trust their recommendations for food and hotels.
🎬Before coming to Beihai, be sure to check the weather in advance. If there is heavy rain, it is not recommended to travel, especially to Weizhou Island, as the ferry may be suspended due to heavy rain.

Volcano Crater
The Beihai Volcano Crater Park is located on Weizhou Island in Beihai, which is the largest volcanic island in China. The lava erupted by the volcano, after ten thousand years of wind and rain, still leaves those astonishing traces of the years. The vibrant and colorful living corals are a major feature of Weizhou Island; on the beach, there are many weathered white coral fragments and shells gathered together to form a long scenic line. It is said that when the sea is calm, you don't need to dive to see living corals in shallow waters.
