Weizhou Island is beautiful, but I won't go there again because...

🌅Want to travel to Weizhou Island but don't know where to start? Save this guide to help you explore Weizhou Island! 🚢How to get to the island Purchase round-trip ferry tickets on the "Laiyouba Official Website" Princess Line, starting from 150 yuan per trip. You also need to buy an island entrance ticket, 98 yuan for adults, which remains valid as long as you stay on the island. 🛵Transportation on the island 1. Bus: Limited routes, long waiting times. 2. Tricycles: Run by villagers, usually 30 yuan per trip, price negotiable. 3. Sightseeing electric carts: Run by villagers, price negotiable. 4. Electric scooters: 50 - 60 yuan/day in low season, 80 - 100 yuan/day in peak season, must be returned the same day, ride safely. Note that there's no Didi taxi service on the island. 🏠Accommodation options 1. Seaside guesthouses: Choose these if you want a relaxing sightseeing experience with beautiful sea views, but prices are higher. 2. Village guesthouses: Choose these to experience local customs, with more affordable prices. For sunset views, stay in the western areas like Shiluo Port or Dishui Village; for sunrise views, stay in eastern areas like Seashell Beach or Five-Color Beach; for nightlife, stay near Nanwan Street. Guesthouses usually provide one-time pickup service on the island, contact them in advance to confirm pickup time. 🍱Food recommendations 1. Seafood: You can buy seafood at Nanwan Street Market, and many guesthouses and restaurants offer seafood cooking services. Note that seafood prices vary, so pay attention when purchasing. 2. Local specialties: Niding soup, Weizhou rice noodles, volcano goat barbecue, etc. - you must try these! 📸Attractions to visit 1. Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park: The core scenic area of China's youngest volcanic island, preserving volcanic eruption relics, where you can see volcanic bomb impact craters, sea erosion arches, and other geological wonders. 2. Five-Color Beach: Features rare "triple geological landscapes" of sea erosion cliffs, platforms, and caves. At low tide, the algae on volcanic rock platforms reflect colorful mirror effects with seawater, especially stunning at sunrise. You can also collect crabs and shellfish here. 3. Shiluo Port Beach: Crystal clear water, one of the best diving spots. Snorkeling is available during coral season (May - October). The fine sand is perfect for jet skiing, and you can enjoy gorgeous sunsets in the evening. 4. Seashell Beach: A 4km natural beach where coral fragments and giant clam shells scatter at low tide. Less crowded but beautiful, you can photograph the "shell forest" with no people in the early morning, and camp under the stars in summer. 5. Shengtang Catholic Church: A Gothic church built in 1853 by French missionaries using local coral, volcanic rock, and limestone. It features a unique blend of Chinese and Western styles. You can buy and taste jackfruit from the century-old tree next to the church, and attend Mass on Sunday mornings. 📅Suggested itineraries 1. Southeast area (stay at Nanwan Street): Nanwan Street → Five-Color Beach → Daosu Hillside Guesthouse → Holy Church Scenic Area (Catholic Church). 2. Southwest area (stay at Dishui Village): Dishui Village → Dishui Danping Beach → South Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area → Shiluo Port Beach → Spring-Summer Cliff Garden. 3. Northern area (stay near Blue Bridge): Viewing Platform → Blue Bridge (Weiyi Sea Wooden House → Chuyu Changfeng Coffee Shop) → Island-Loop Coffee → Lakeside Coffee Shop (Xiangsi Lake). ❗Important notes 1. Check weather forecasts and tide tables in advance. Five-Color Beach is accessible only at low tide, while other beaches look better at high tide. 2. Weizhou Island is offshore, and most supplies are shipped from North Hai city, so prices are relatively higher than in the city. Please be understanding. Many restaurants offer group purchase deals, so ask before ordering.
