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. ·

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.

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.

Recommended location: Beihai Silver Beach, Weizhou Island Silver Beach is known as the best beach in the world. The sand is very smooth and does not hurt your feet when you step on it.

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!
