2025 Weizhou Island Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

There are endless things to explore in Beihai, and it's relatively affordable, but be aware of some common traps. For first-time visitors to Beihai, it's important to plan your itinerary in advance. Today, I'm going to share some of my real experiences in Beihai✍🏻, hoping to provide a reference for your trip and ensure that you have a pleasant and hassle-free journey. · 💡Tips 1. Choose Beihai Station as your high-speed rail terminal, as it's closer to the city center and more convenient than Beihai North Station. 2. Avoid taking illegal taxis outside the airport or high-speed rail station, as they may try to sell you hotels, restaurants, or tour packages at exorbitant prices. 3. Avoid taking photos with people in strange cartoon costumes on the beach or at scenic spots, as this may involve additional fees. 4. The pearl jewelry at scenic spots is often of uneven quality. It's recommended to buy souvenirs from street vendors' carts at night, as the prices are more reasonable. 5. The prices of local specialties at scenic spots are usually higher. It's recommended to go directly to the supermarket, where some items also offer mail-order services. 6. The sun is strong in Beihai, so it's wise to bring a sun umbrella. 7. Cycling along the Silver Beach is a great way to enjoy the sea view, but remember to compare prices at different rental services, as you may find a better deal. 8. Guantouling is a great place to watch the sunset, while Qiaogang Beach is a good place to watch the sunrise. Don't get them confused. 9. During peak season, scenic spots may be busy, so it's recommended to book in advance on relevant platforms. 10. When traveling to Weizhou Island, choose Beihai International Passenger Port for the ferry. There are frequent departures, and ticket prices vary depending on the cabin class. 11. While you can taste the so-called specialty dried fruits for free, they are charged by weight and are expensive. Not worth it. · 🌈My itinerary Day❶: Beihai Station→Silver Beach→Qiaogang Style Street→Jinhai Bay Mangrove Forest Day❷: Guantouling→Old Street→Beibu Gulf Square Day❸: Weizhou Island→Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park→Driping Danping Day❹: Weizhou Island→Five-Color Beach→Catholic Church→Seashell Beach Day❺: Weizhou Island→Beihai→Return home · 🍲In Beihai, food is also an experience not to be missed: ✅Wang Jie Seafood: Offers authentic Sichuan-style seafood, spicy and delicious. ✅Coconut Ji Man: The coconut jelly here is fragrant and full of coconut milk. ✅Mama's Coconut Chicken: Wenchang chicken is tender and juicy, and even more delicious with the special dipping sauce. ✅Qiongda Zaopa Vinegar: Sour and spicy, suitable for dipping various ingredients. ✅Gui Ba Mianmian Ice: Smooth and delicate, with various fruit flavors, it's the perfect summer dessert. ✅Xiang Buluo·Beihai Dried Seafood·Souvenirs: This souvenir shop offers affordable prices and a variety of Beihai specialties, such as seafood dried fish, dried shrimp, sea duck eggs, and squid threads. Highly recommended. ·

Unfortunately, I came to Weizhou Island, and fortunately I chose the Reef Hotel among the few (three) relatively satisfactory hotels. I like their service. Although the price-performance ratio is not comparable to that of Hainan (the hotel's private beach is not as good as that of Hainan), I am satisfied with the extremely scarce supplies in Weizhou Island, which is a circled point. The hotel is wild and luxurious! But it is not really big, maybe Weizhou Island itself is very small! I wanted to complain about how deserted the road to the hotel was, and even the road was bad, but when we went out to eat, we found that every road was like this (even After walking a few steps, there is an unknown smell in the air that I can't find the source of. Satisfied again! Afternoon tea was delivered in the afternoon (we planned to listen to music and drink some wine from the minibar in the evening, and the kind butler delivered another one, which greatly improved our good impression) and stew was also delivered in the evening (it tasted pretty good) The breakfast was not what we imagined, which was served in the big restaurant. They prepared a portion for each person.

After longing for Beihai Weizhou Island, I finally set foot on this land amidst great anticipation. The scenery here is indeed breathtaking, and due to the limited number of people allowed on the island, it feels particularly quiet. At night, the streets are almost empty, so quiet that it feels a bit eerie. The trip was scheduled from May 1st to 5th. For transportation, I first traveled from Guangzhou South to Beihai, then took a ferry. I chose a hotel that offered free pier shuttle service (provided by the owner), which also had a swimming pool, quite distinctive. On the island, you can choose to ride tuk-tuks, but we opted to rent electric bikes, which allowed us to roam freely (charged by the day). The weather was sunny, perfect for a morning swim in the hotel pool. I don't recommend going out at noon when the sun is too strong, unless you're visiting some attractions. It's better to go out again from 3 to 4 pm, very leisurely and comfortable. We visited attractions like Crocodile Hill, Dripping Water Danping, Colorful Beach, Shell Beach, Shiluokou, and the Catholic Church. We also arranged a day at sea: taking the Da Fei to the yacht area, then boarding a yacht to experience some water activities. The sea trip was rather dull, and the water quality was just average. We only played with the glass-bottom boat and snorkeling. I honestly don't recommend going out to sea; it's enough to enjoy the island. Here are some must-visit places: - Shell Beach-Colorful Beach-Shiluokou, where watching the sunset at 5 or 6 pm is particularly beautiful, a must-experience. - The coastline towards Nanwan, go there at 3 pm to check in, and by 4 pm it gets crowded, the scenery is absolutely stunning! (Be careful of the waves at night when driving; we got wet by a sudden wave). - The Catholic Church is also a great place for photos and check-ins. - Crocodile Hill, we parked at the entrance and took an electric cart up, walking would be tiring. Regarding food, we went to Nanwan Seafood Market to buy our seafood and then had it processed at a restaurant, with processing fees ranging from 15 to 30 yuan. Some processing shops are quite a rip-off, so make sure to confirm the price in advance. We ended up having it processed at the guesthouse, and the owner was very nice. In conclusion, I highly recommend visiting here, it's a quiet island. You can stroll leisurely, ride your beloved little electric donkey, and enjoy the summer breeze. It's just perfect.

The Crocodile Mountain Volcanic Park, located in the Crater Geological Park of Weizhou Island, is one of the must-see scenery of Weizhou Island. The strange rock formations on the seashore are amazing. The landscape of Weizhou Island, which was formed by the volcanic eruption thousands of years ago, is reflected here. It is definitely a great place to see the volcanic rocks and enjoy the sea views. The remains of the volcanic eruption envelop the entire crocodile mountain coast, although it is called a relic, but the surroundings are full of vitality. There will be a lot of tourists here, and maybe its a bit of a love for this date. Location: Within the Weizhou Island Volcano National Geological Park in the Beibu Gulf area of Haicheng District, Beihai City

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. everyday 6

Yuya is a unique, Nordic-style attraction on Weizhou Island. Since you have come to Weizhou Island, you must not miss the sunset of the cliff. On the way to Yuya, I met a calf and was very cute with fresh grass. When we arrived, many people already occupied the best position, and also met a couple of new people to take wedding photos here, presumably recalled later, it is also a beautiful memory. If the colorful beach is the most precious jewel in the natural carving of Weizhou Island, then the cliff is another gift of this treasure to human beings.

because it's too beautiful!!! Worried about getting lost or falling into tourist traps while exploring Weizhou Island? This thoroughly tested 3-day-2-night itinerary will help you cover all the highlights. We've also sorted out details like transportation, sun protection, and budgeting – just follow along for a worry-free and enjoyable trip. Essential Pre-Trip Tips - Transportation: There are no ride-hailing apps or taxis on the island, and attractions are quite spread out. We recommend renting an electric scooter for just tens of yuan per day – it offers great freedom to stop wherever you like. Remember to check the battery and brakes when renting, and don't hesitate to bargain. If scooters aren't your thing, local sightseeing cars or tricycles are available, but always agree on prices upfront. - Weather First: Always check the forecast before heading to the island. Strong winds, heavy rain, or typhoons will cancel ferry services, leaving you stranded. Also, Weizhou Island without sunshine loses much of its charm – the sea and beaches look dramatically different on cloudy days. Choose a sunny day for truly stunning views. - Sun Protection is Crucial: The UV rays here are stronger than you can imagine – even on cloudy days. Use high-SPF waterproof sunscreen, and don't forget wide-brimmed hats, UV-protective clothing, and sunglasses (you can remove the jacket for photos). Otherwise, you might return home several shades darker than when you left. - Budget Wisely: Weizhou Island isn't cheap. Round-trip ferry tickets plus the island entrance fee alone cost about 300+ yuan. Food and accommodation are also pricier than in the city. Plan your budget carefully to avoid money worries spoiling your fun. 3-Day-2-Night Itinerary Day 1: Discovering Natural Wonders - Morning: After arriving, rent your scooter and head straight to Crocodile Hill Park, the island's iconic attraction with unique volcanic rock formations. Walk the wooden boardwalk to see sea-eroded caves and volcanic craters. The viewing platform offers breathtaking ocean vistas – every angle is photo-worthy. Allow 1.5 hours (wear comfortable shoes as some paths are steep). - Noon: Have lunch in Nanwan Town and explore this lively little hub. - Afternoon: Visit Dripping Water Screen where water perpetually cascades down cliffs, creating a shimmering curtain in sunlight. The fine sand is perfect for barefoot wading. After 1-2 hours, proceed to Shiluokou Beach with crystal-clear waters teeming with corals and fish. Stay for sunset when golden light dances on the waves – absolutely mesmerizing. - Evening: Enjoy seafood in Nanwan Town, then take a moonlit beach stroll. Day 2: Culture & Coastal Charm - Dawn: Catch sunrise at Colorful Beach. At low tide, the volcanic rocks create a dazzling mosaic under sunlight – fantastic for photos. Watch as rising tides create mesmerizing water patterns between rocks (2-3 hours recommended). - Morning: Visit St. Mary's Catholic Church, a century-old French-style stone building. Its red-brick walls and lush courtyard make perfect backdrops for vintage-style photos (1 hour sufficient). - Noon: Try local seafood congee at nearby restaurants. - Afternoon: First stop at the Geological Museum to learn about the island's formation through exhibits (cool and educational, about 1 hour). Then head to Shell Beach – quiet and pristine, ideal for collecting shells or leisurely walks in the sand. - Evening: Feast on seafood in Nanwan Town before stargazing by the shore. Day 3: Hidden Gems & Departure - Morning: For tranquility, visit Blue Bridge area. Though partially damaged, its blue pillars against the sea create melancholic beauty – great for atmospheric shots. Then see Weizhou Island Lighthouse, a red-and-white maritime beacon with perfect picnic lawns. - Noon: Enjoy a final island-style lunch before packing up. Must-Try Local Delicacies - Seafood Noodles/Soup: Available at breakfast stalls island-wide. Fresh shrimp, crab, and shellfish broth with local rice noodles – the perfect energizing start to your day. - Banana Chicken/Pork: Raised on bananas and leaves, these meats are remarkably tender with subtle fruity notes, whether steamed or braised – a true island specialty. - Salt & Pepper Mantis Shrimp: Crispy golden-fried with peppery seasoning – irresistibly crunchy outside yet springy inside (use gloves to avoid prickly shells). - Dessert Shops: Refreshing treats like seaweed mung bean soup or cooling herbal jelly – sweet, affordable, and packed with ingredients. - Grilled Squid: Nanwan Town's street stalls serve smoky, spice-dusted squid tentacles – the ultimate chewy snack while exploring. Weizhou Island's magic lies in its unspoiled nature and slow pace. This guide ensures you'll hit both iconic spots and local gems, creating unforgettable memories amidst island life.

Weizhou Island Travel Guide: A Volcanic Island That Makes You Forget Your Worries Welcome to Weizhou Island, China's youngest volcanic island and the largest island in Guangxi. Imagine standing on an island formed by volcanic eruptions, with peculiar rocks shaped by cooled lava millions of years ago beneath your feet and azure waters stretching before your eyes—this feeling is even more thrilling than slacking off at the office! How to get there? The only way is by ferry from Beihai International Passenger Port. The fast ferry takes 70 minutes, while the slow one takes 2 hours. Opt for the fast ferry unless you fancy experiencing a "rocking cradle at sea." Remember to book your tickets in advance, especially during peak season—it's as competitive as Singles' Day shopping. Where to stay? Three options on the island: 1. Luxury hotels (for the well-heeled) 2. Homestays (highly recommended! Owners will tip you off on where to find the cheapest seafood) 3. Camping (romantic, but beware of mosquitoes treating you as an all-you-can-eat buffet). Staying near Dishui Village or Shiluokou is most convenient. Must-visit attractions: 1. Crocodile Hill Volcanic Park: The only ticketed attraction on the island (¥98), but worth every penny. Volcanic craters, sea-eroded caves, and a lighthouse—every shot is postcard-perfect. Best visited in the early morning or evening; going at noon means free sauna sessions. 2. Five-Colored Beach: Not literally five colors, but the volcanic rocks and moss at low tide are breathtakingly beautiful. Check the tide schedule, or you'll only see a "monochrome beach." 3. Shiluokou Beach: The best spot for swimming, with sand as fine as flour. Rent a sun umbrella and daydream all day, pretending you're in the Maldives (budget edition). 4. Catholic Church: A century-old church built in 1870 by the French. Post a photo online, and someone will surely ask, "Are you in Europe?" 5. Shell Beach: Less crowded and picturesque, perfect for shell collecting (though the prettiest ones are long gone). Especially romantic at sunset—not recommended for singles. Foodie guide: Coming to Weizhou Island without eating seafood is a wasted trip! Head to Nanwan Seafood Market to buy fresh catches and have them cooked at nearby restaurants. Must-tries: mantis shrimp, flower crabs, and grouper—prices are at least 30% cheaper than on the mainland. Bargaining tip: Pretend to walk away, and the vendor will call you back. Other local delights: Bananas (a local specialty; ¥5 gets you a huge bunch) Volcanic goat (raised on volcanic rocks, exceptionally tender meat) Sea duck eggs (with rich, oily yolks that are irresistibly fragrant) Practical tips: 1. Getting around mainly relies on electric scooters (¥60-80/day). Can't ride one? Prepare to walk till your legs give out. 2. Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Say it three times—the UV rays here can turn you into a lobster in seconds. 3. Best travel season: April to November, but avoid summer break (crowded and pricey). Winter is windy, ideal for "deserted island survival" vibes. 4. Bring cash! Many places don't accept digital payments—don't drool over seafood you can't pay for. Final reminder: Weizhou Island is magical—visitors always want to return. Don't believe it? Give it a try!

Tired of cookie-cutter beaches? Come to Weizhou Island and experience the remnants of volcanic power (Crocodile Hill), glass-clear waters paved with coral reefs (Rainbow Beach), the century-old Catholic Church, and volcanic cliffs resembling matcha cake (Dripping Water Danping)... Hop on an electric scooter, weave through banana groves, and witness breathtaking seaside sunsets (Shiluokou/Muya), while feasting on freshly caught seafood!

Fresh off the island where my phone's 128GB storage got filled with stunning shots, but also stepped into traps no one mentions online! This blood-and-tears compiled "Fairyland Survival Guide" might just save your trip! --- 🌟 MUST-SEE: 3 Legendary Moments on Weizhou Island 1. "Sunrise at Rainbow Beach - So beautiful it should be illegal!" Pro tip: Avoid the crowded shore! Head left to the volcanic rocks - dawn light hitting honeycomb formations with ankle-deep waves creates Instagram gold. Hidden move: Check "Tide Elf" mini-program - spring tide + sunny day = double wow! 2. "Twilight Cliff Sunset - Risky but worth it!" - Warning: Official path closed! Access via hidden trail near "Changfeng Homestay" (watch for loose rocks!) for insane cliff silhouettes at golden hour. - Bloody advice: Wear grippy shoes! Bring flashlight! Retreat by 7pm - rising tides erase paths! 3. "Nanwan Seafood Feast - Heavenly indulgence!" - Bargain hack: Hit market at 4pm! Haggle 50% off! Watch them scoop from tanks. - Best kitchen: "Shi Lu" kills spicy crab! Transparent fees beat overhyped spots. --- 🚫 Nobody Warns You: 3 Major Traps 1. "Ferry Tickets: No ticket = trip ruined!" - Booking voodoo: Grab "Beiyou 26" (big stable boat!) at midnight 3 days prior on Ctrip. Avoid lower deck - vomit-inducing! - Plan B: Can't get tickets? Buy "Island Pass + Ferry" combo (¥50 extra but lifesaving). 2. "Water Sports: No haggle = sucker!" - Snorkeling at Shiluo Port: Listed ¥380? Haggle to ¥180 (visibility mediocre, no Maldives). - Jet ski scam: "¥100/lap" becomes ¥200! Film price negotiations for safety! 3. "Accommodation Scams: Sea view? More like construction view!" - Dishui Village truth: Ask "any roadwork?" before booking. "Fangdao" has epic views, but "Mandian Homestay" next door has trenches ruining vibes. - Budget gem: "Yeli House" near Shell Beach - ¥300+ for coral stone cottage with free clam-digging tours! --- 📅 My 3-Day Crowd-Dodging Itinerary Day1: - 2pm arrival → Twilight Cliff wild beach (off-peak sunset) → Nanwan Market seafood bargaining (avoid 8pm rush) Day2: - 5:30am Rainbow Beach volcanic rocks → Nap → 10am Crocodile Mountain (cooler hours) → 3pm Catholic Church (magic light) → Blue Bridge shell hunting (empty!) Day3: - 9am Dishuiping sea caves → Shiluo Port water sports → 2pm Cactus Photo Frame (meh but insta-worthy) → Bye! --- 🍤 Food Hall of Fame/Shame (GPS-tested!) ✅ Heavenly: - "Daydream Fusion": Island's only edible pizza! Hawaiian version with meter-long cheese pulls - "See You Tomorrow" mango ice: Nanwan Street's boss - double mango portions = bliss - "Zhonghe Liuzhou Luosifen": Lifesaving stinky noodles! Broth shames chain stores ❌ Criminal: - "77 Dessert": Sugar water scam! ¥20/bowl < coconut juice - Roadside "Banana Pork": All frozen! For real deal try "Qingli Dawn Court" braised version --- 📣 Final Truth Bombs: 1. Weizhou's beauty costs ¥500+/day minimum! 2. Scooters are gods! Rent at ¥70/day (full battery), deposit ≤¥300! 3. Viral Cactus Frame is dumpy... but silhouette shots work 👇 SOS Time: What scams did you encounter? Expose shady shops in comments to save fellow travelers!
