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.
Weizhou , Come for the fun, stay 4the people!
Weizhou Island is a must visit, if you are looking for a great escape off the beaten path! Located in Guangxi province, this island is only accessible by ferry and is home to some amazing, historical scenic spots like the cathedral and volcanic beach; just to name a few, as well as many beautiful beaches.
If seafood is your thing, well fret not because you will be quite at home in seafood paradise! The locals are friendly and helpful and the togetherness of the villagers is quite admirable!
On your journey, be sure to enjoy a jet ski ride and also go whale watching. oh, and do not miss out on the amazing opportunity of seeing the sun rise or set on 1 of the many beautiful beaches.
Weizhou Island: come for the fun, stay for the people!

Catholic Church Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The Shengtang Catholic Church is one of the famous scenic spots on Weizhou Island. Although it is somewhat old, it also has a strong historical trace. The island residents have not done any processing and reconstruction in order to preserve its original appearance.
The whole building of the church was made of corals and shells on the island. The style should be considered very beautiful at the time. It is a classic French Gothic Catholic church. After coming out of the side door of the church, the garden is quiet and elegant, making people feel very relaxed.

Weizhou Shengtang Catholic Church, a sanctuary built of coral and volcanic stones
After landing on Weizhou Island, the first stop is the church, which is the most famous cultural landmark of Weizhou Island, located in the largest village on the island - Shengtang Village (originally named 'Church Village'), hence it is also known as 'Shengtang Catholic Church'.
The building was designed and supervised by the French, using locally sourced volcanic and coral stones as construction materials. The ancient mottled walls, Gothic architectural style, unique coral stone construction, and Catholic cultural elements are intertwined, making it quite picturesque.
A century of vicissitudes, the historical charm of the Catholic Church on Weizhou Island
Weizhou Island! It's simply the ceiling of romance in China💐~~
Outside the doors and windows👀, by the sea🌊, on the beach🏖, we landed in the early morning, the environment here is as beautiful as Monet's oil painting🖼~
This time we came to the Catholic Church on Weizhou Island⛪.
This church has not been processed and rebuilt, and all building materials are taken from the coral, rock and lime on the island🧱.
We walked around for a week and found that it has undergone a century of baptism and still retains the most primitive flavor😍.
Standing in front of it, the heaviness of history comes oncoming🤩.
Inside the church, please respect the local religious beliefs and cultural customs🙏, do not touch the Buddha statues and other religious items at will~
I hope everyone can better explore the historical charm of the Catholic Church on Weizhou Island✨.
After a century of vicissitudes, 📸 witness the changes of the times on Weizhou Island.
❶The ancient and mottled city wall🧱.
❷Gothic architectural style🕍.
❸The unique coral stone architecture and Catholic culture intertwine🤝, a casual shot is a sense of historical fragmentation📷.
❹The European-style garden square behind the church, with a hundred-year-old mango tree and jackfruit, gives a feeling of blooming flowers🌸.
Guangxi Beihai - Weizhou Shengtang Catholic Church
Weizhou Shengtang Catholic Church is located in Shengtang Village, Weizhou Island Scenic Area, Haicheng District, Beihai City. The tall and majestic cathedral, against the backdrop of the low houses around, appears large in scale and quite imposing.

Wucai Beach Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
A kaleidoscopic fairy-tale world, the Colorful Beach
The Colorful Beach is located about 24 kilometers north of the Burqin County town in Xinjiang and is the essential path to Habahe County and Kanas. It is adjacent to the rippling Erqis River , and the lush and verdant river valley scenery on the opposite bank complements each other, which can be described as 'one river separates two banks, each with its own distinct world'. The riverbank rock formations have varying resistance to weathering, resulting in an uneven contour, and the rocks display a variety of colors due to the different minerals they contain, hence the name 'Colorful Beach'.
The rocks at the Colorful Beach are diverse, and under the sunlight at sunset, the colors of the rocks are mainly red, interspersed with green, purple, yellow, white, black, and transitional colors, making the entire Colorful Beach a kaleidoscope of colors, a typical colorful hill.
The riverbanks of the Colorful Beach are crisscrossed with ravines and undulating in height, covering an area of about 3 square kilometers. Due to the varying resistance of the rock layers to weathering, they form an uneven contour, resembling colorful castles, monsters, and clusters of peaks, creating a landscape of peculiar landforms.
Burqin's Colorful Beach, at an altitude of 480 meters, was shortlisted in 'Magical Northwest Top 100 Scenic Spots' in 2018. The scenic area is rated as AAAA level.
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
↪️Port transfer: Many homestays only provide pick-up from the port, not drop-off, for pick-up and drop-off a small tricycle costs 30 yuan
🏖Weizhou Island Travel Guide
Day1: Arrive on the island - Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park - Dripping Water Danping Sunset - Nanwan Street food and drink😋
Day2: Colorful Beach sunrise, sea foraging - Nanwan Street food and drink - Catholic Church - Shell Beach - Blue Bridge - Shiluokou Sunset - Nanwan Street food and drink😋

Colorful Beach: Sunrise🌅 sea foraging
Dripping Water Danping: Sunset, and if lucky, you can see the blue sea😎
🔖Travel tips
1. When picking seafood, compare prices at three places, and you can also bargain. We went to the Nanwan Seafood Convenience Market on Weizhou Island, Beihai, and after buying, we went directly to the restaurant opposite for processing, which was also quite good🤗
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💕
4. Crocodile Mountain Park requires hiking, the route is quite long, hiking takes about 1.5h, prepare water and dry food in advance, the volcanic crater is inside the Crocodile Mountain scenic area, round-trip by car is 20 yuan😉
Longmen Torrents—A Little Australia in Hainan
The last stop of my trip in Hainan was Longmen Torrents. It is located in Danzhou, where Su Dongpo was once exiled. I stayed on Haihua Island upon arriving in Danzhou. The accommodation was the best value of the trip, costing just tens of yuan per day, with a room fully equipped with a washing machine, fridge, and induction cooker. There weren't many tourists, mostly from the north, but it was quite a distance from Longmen Torrents, nearly an hour's drive, half of which was through rural scenery. Near Longmen Torrents, there are actually three beaches, with Longmen Torrents being just one of them; the other two are Wucaili Beach and Lover's Beach. The three beaches are very close to each other. Longmen Torrents was somewhat disappointing. Its feature is a natural stone arch, behind which is a long rocky beach covered with volcanic rocks, making it difficult to walk on. In the distance, some people were gathering seafood from the sea; I really wondered how they managed to get down there. Lover's Beach was unremarkable—I went down, took a quick look around, and left.
Wucaili Beach was the most satisfying. It's only two or three hundred meters long, with high cliffs facing the sea, fiery red mountain rocks, black reefs, and cacti all over. There's a lighthouse on top of the cliff. In the middle of the sea, there's a tall reef that, during high tide, is the only one that remains visible above the water, while the others are submerged. Some say it looks like a sail, but from the angle of my photo, it resembles Aladdin's lamp.
Not far from Longmen Torrents, by the roadside near the sea, there's a flat area with some fishing boats moored on the sea, and a lighthouse visible in the distance. The shore is lined with volcanic rocks, with occasional flowers and plants growing among them. This spot was perfect for backlighting, with the distant setting sun like blood and the green leaves on the black volcanic rocks nearby dazzlingly bright.
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🫣

I suggest you plan the itinerary for the day of arrival and departure to be more compact,
We planned eight days, but because the travel was not well-arranged, it felt like we only had fun for five days. I recommend going directly to Weizhou Island on the first day, and for those with elderly, head straight to Beihai, as there's not much need to go to Weizhou Island (due to factors like supplies, medical care, prices, attractions, etc.)
Dripping Water Screen, Cactus Picture Frame, Crocodile Mountain, and the church are places you must visit.
I regret not coming to Weizhou Island earlier | It's really too beautiful

High-speed rail 5h + boat 1.5h + island pick-up
Friends in Guangzhou can directly take the high-speed rail from Guangzhou South Station to Beihai Station. Friends in other cities within the province can first take the high-speed rail to Guangzhou South Station, then depart for Beihai
Friends from other provinces are advised to fly to Beihai at their own expense (the flight arrival time should not be later than 13:30), then take a taxi for 30 minutes to Beihai International Passenger Port, and take a boat to the island together
