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

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.

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.

📍Attraction Address: No. 108, Baidailiao Village, Weizhou Island, Beihai 🚗Transportation: Departure point: Beihai/Nanning → take a boat to Weizhou Island → free hotel shuttle (advance reservation required). • On-island travel: The hotel provides vehicle transfers & electric car rentals, perfect for the lazy traveler! 👍️Must-visit spots: 1️⃣ Island Bookstore This is arguably the most Instagram-worthy spot on the island. Upon entering, a long green path stretches toward the sea, as if leading to a dreamlike realm. Here, you can enjoy a quiet beach scattered with colorful coral and shells. The hammock under the shade is cool and peaceful—sit there all afternoon daydreaming, and time feels gentle. 2️⃣ Island Coffee The bright yellow seaside cabin is especially eye-catching and probably the most popular shop on the island. Sunshine and sea views complement each other beautifully. However, if you go in the afternoon to take photos, you might need to wait patiently for a spot. 3️⃣ Spring-Summer Cliff Garden Admission is 39 RMB, but it’s absolutely worth it. The garden’s winding paths and carefully tended flowers offer diverse scenery. It has lawns, a bookstore, cultural shops, and a restaurant for afternoon tea. Especially during the blue hour, it looks like a fairyland. 4️⃣ Pine Coffee This is a super chill spot located under a big pine tree by the sea. Occasionally, cute cats appear, so you can enjoy petting cats and taking photos at the same time. 5️⃣ Nanwan Street This seaside road’s railings make perfect photo props. At night, waves sometimes surge onto the road, “ambushing” passing electric scooters, creating scenes that are both fun and full of life. About Food 🦞 1️⃣ Sister Wang’s Seafood Very popular on Nanwan Street! Seafood is selected fresh and cooked on the spot, ensuring maximum freshness. The signature spicy crab has plump, firm meat coated in a rich, spicy sauce—one bite is super satisfying. Garlic vermicelli steamed scallops have garlic aroma perfectly infused into the scallops, and the vermicelli soaks up the fresh flavor—once you start, you can’t stop. Around 100 RMB per person for a sumptuous seafood feast. 2️⃣ Qiong Da Fermented Vinegar Hotpot The fermented vinegar hotpot is the restaurant’s signature. The sour and spicy broth smells amazing as soon as it’s served. Fresh seafood and crunchy vegetables dipped in the broth absorb the unique flavor, offering rich layers of taste that are sour, spicy, and appetizing. You won’t stop at one bowl. Around 80 RMB per person for a filling and satisfying meal. 3️⃣ Grandma’s Coconut Chicken The soup base is made from sweet coconut water paired with tender chicken. After cooking, start with a bowl of the clear, sweet soup full of coconut aroma. The chicken is cooked just right—tender yet chewy. Dip it in the special sauce for an even richer taste. After finishing the chicken, you can cook various side ingredients in the broth. Around 90 RMB per person, warm and comforting. 4️⃣ Guibai Shaved Ice After seafood and hotpot, a serving of Guibai shaved ice is perfect. The finely textured ice has a variety of flavors—mango is sweet and rich, strawberry is fresh and refreshing. It’s topped with fresh fruit and toppings, both beautiful and delicious, making it an excellent choice to refresh and cool down. About 30 RMB per serving, very cost-effective. 💗Other tips: Bring plenty of sunscreen and wear sun-protective clothing.

Experience the "Moonlight on the Sea" Hotel Like Xinxinzi, Lying Down to Watch the Glass Sea! Here's a hotel on Weizhou Island where you can see the ocean right from your doorstep ~ My first visit to Weizhou Island made me feel its sea is more beautiful than many other places. This time I came specifically for the Reef Hotel. I personally think that good service is definitely a bonus point for a hotel and even the entire island! First, the check-in process was super fast. They provide pickup and drop-off services, and staff respond to messages very promptly. I've stayed at many more expensive hotels and guesthouses, but truly feel their service isn't as good as this one. Especially when we changed room types, they could clearly remember who was who, and proactively moved our luggage to the new room without requiring us to check in again. The entire guesthouse is thoughtfully designed with distinctive personal touches. The complimentary gift is a sturdy, practical umbrella and bag. The beach loungers really make you want to lie down and relax. The restaurant's dishes with green onion, ginger, and spicy flavors are just as good as outdoor food stalls. If you don't feel like going out, you can eat there for several days. All three meals can be delivered to your room, and the free afternoon tea and evening porridge are quite nice. This time I came with family, so we experienced two different room types.

I went to Weizhou Island with my husband and stayed at the Rensheng Hotel, the same one as Yu Shuxin’s! I couldn't help but scream as soon as I opened the door. This perspective is so amazing! The room's infinity pool seems to be cast by magic, blending perfectly with the sea level. The most important thing is that there are few people and beautiful scenery! The glass sea is so clear that you can see the shells on the bottom of the water. At sunset, the whole sky is as charming as orange soda. At night, soaking in a private hot spring, watching the stars, and falling asleep listening to the sound of the waves is really healing. 🏠Super comfortable swimming pool courtyard ✨Great location between Weizhou Island Blue Bridge and Xijiao Pier ✨The secret pine forest on the beach facing the sea ✨24-hour constant temperature swimming pool (the water quality is superb, and any photo you take is a blockbuster) ✨The courtyard beach is decorated with cacti, full of tropical atmosphere ✨Excellent privacy, the first choice for a relaxing holiday 🌈Itinerary sharing D1: Beihai pick-up - hotel afternoon tea - Qiaogang Yuexiang Kitchen dinner After arriving in Beihai, we went to the hotel to have afternoon tea to relax, and then went straight to Yuexiang Kitchen for dinner recommended by the locals. The mantis shrimps were so big that they were bigger than our hands! D2: Take a boat to the island - check in at the hotel - tour around the island - travel photography - free shopping in Nanwan Market The volcanic rocks at Crocodile Hill are amazing, you can occasionally see blue tears at Dripping Danping, the colorful houses at Nanwan Street are beyond pictures, and buying a cup of sugar water at the church entrance is super refreshing. In the evening, I squatted at Shiluokou and watched the beautiful sunset. D3: Chasing whales at sea - barbecue dinner under the sea I followed the captain and caught a Bryde's whale. I was so excited that my hands were shaking. Eat barbecue in the evening while enjoying the sea breeze and looking up at the starry sky. D4: Going to the sea - Going to the island - The first port of the Maritime Silk Road - Dinner with the Tanka family We followed the fishermen to dig up a lot of small crabs. After getting off the island, we went to the first port of the Maritime Silk Road to take pictures of the ancient castle, and had a Tanka-style meal in the evening. D5: Return to Beihai When I arrived at the station, I was still looking through the photos and reminiscing about them. I really didn’t want to leave! 👉【Charter Tour】 【Customized Tour】 【Private Tour】 are all available ~ How to get the same itinerary?
