Guishan Island | An Unexpected Encounter with a Real-Life "Little Kenting"

| An Unexpected Encounter with a Real-Life "Little Kenting." This vacation, go see the sea and chill! Sea, windmills, lighthouses, beaches 🌴 Guishan Island fulfills all my dreams of an island~ Zhuhai Guishan Island is a treasure island that has been overlooked by many. 🚢 Transportation: I departed from Xiangzhou Port in Zhuhai. I bought my ticket in advance on the "Xiangzhou Port" Princess. It costs CNY 100/person for a one-way ticket, and the journey takes about 50 minutes. You can see the sea and islands from afar during the boat ride, which made me look forward to it! If you come to Zhuhai from other places, it costs about CNY 20 to take a taxi to Xiangzhou Port from Zhuhai Station or Mingzhu Station, and it takes about half an hour to get there. ✅ Two-day, one-night itinerary: D1: Aimin Road → No. 1 Dike Lighthouse → Guishan Warship Memorial Park → Reef Cave → Dolphin Bay Beach Sunset D2: Beishan Viewing Platform Sunrise → Wen Tianxiang Square → Island Ring Road Cycling → Evening Wind Market → Leave the Island . 📸 Must-visit photo spots: 🔶 Aimin Road: A sloping road known as "Little Kamakura." The green plants on both sides and the sea at the end form a comic scene. It is a must-see for taking Japanese-style photos. 🔶 No. 1 Dike Lighthouse: A landmark white tower next to the pier, fresh during the day and romantic at dusk 🔶 Guishan Warship Memorial Park: The coastal plank road has jagged rocks, and the sense of history blends with the sea view. 🔶 Reef Cave: Natural cave with interlaced light and shadow, suitable for taking silhouettes Dolphin Bay Beach Sunset: The orange sky is reflected on the sea surface at sunset. It is recommended to sit on the beach swing and capture silhouettes. 🔶 Beishan Viewing Platform: The best spot to overlook the entire island. Golden light spills over the sea at sunrise. 🔶 Wen Tianxiang Square: Statue with the background of the Lingdingyang Sea Island Ring Road Cycling: Rent a bicycle and ride along the coastline. If you are lucky, you may encounter white dolphins jumping out of the sea. 🌅 Attractions: 🎈 Guishan Warship Memorial Park: It is of great historical significance and was built to commemorate the heroic landing ship "Guishan." Standing on the viewing platform on the top of the mountain, the sea breeze is blowing, the sea is endless, and you can also see various freighters shuttling back and forth. It feels great to take pictures, and any shot will be a great one. 🎈 Aiming Road: A must-visit for literary youth! The streets are lined with colorful shops, some selling unique souvenirs and some with cozy cafes. If you are tired from shopping, sit down and have a cup of coffee and feel the slow pace of island life. 🎈 Lighthouse: The lighthouse on the island is a landmark spot. The red and green colors are particularly eye-catching against the blue sky and sea. In the evening, the lighthouse lights up, creating a full atmosphere, and any shot is a blockbuster. 🎈 Island Ring Road: Rent a bicycle and ride along the Island Ring Road, feeling the embrace of the sea breeze. The sea view, reefs, and hills along the way are like movie scenes, and you can stop to take pictures at any time. 🍱 Food: 🦀 Seafood is a must-eat! You can go to the seafood market to pick fresh shrimp, crabs, and shellfish, and then find a nearby restaurant to process them. Steaming, poaching, and typhoon shelter frying are all delicious. 🥥 Coconut jelly is also a must-try. It is sweet and refreshing, full of island style, and cools you down instantly with one bite. There are also Hong Kong-style tea restaurants on the island, with authentic-tasting silk stocking milk tea and fresh shrimp wonton noodles. 🏠 Accommodation: It is recommended to stay in a homestay near the sea, where you can see the sea when you open the window, and you can also watch the sunrise over the sea in the morning. The homestay I stayed in this time was very cost-effective. The owner was also very enthusiastic and helped plan the tour route. Remember to book in advance on major platforms and read more reviews. ❗️ Tips: 1. Be sure to protect yourself from the sun. The ultraviolet rays on the island are very strong, so bring sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen. 2. If you are prone to motion sickness, prepare motion sickness medicine in advance. 3. There are many mosquitoes on the island, so bring mosquito repellent. Guishan Island is really a treasure. It has beautiful natural scenery, a rich history and culture, and you can also taste delicious seafood. It is very suitable for weekend vacations, romantic dates, and family trips. If you haven't been there yet, hurry up and arrange it!
