[2025 Taishan Attraction] Travel Guide for Wang Fu Zhou (Updated May)

There is a beautiful island called Xiachuan Island in Taishan, Jiangmen. September happens to be the season with abundant seafood harvest and good weather, so we planned a two-day and one-night trip. In general, the experience is excellent. Here are some tips to share and help you avoid pitfalls! Transportation in Area 1: Purchase a package ticket (including round-trip boat, island bus and tickets) on the official account "Chuandao Tourism Network" at least 1 day in advance, drive to "Shanzui Port", take a boat for about 40 minutes to "Xiachuan Island Duwan Wharf", and take a bus for about 30 minutes to "Wangfuzhou Tourist Area" after getting off the boat. The homestay is in the scenic area. There are basically no Didi taxis on the island, and almost every restaurant and hotel has electric cars. For free pick-up and drop-off, we should proactively talk to them about the pick-up and drop-off issues. Accommodation in District 2: Because we were traveling in the off-season, we saw a good review on Meituan and called to ask. The price was definitely much cheaper than buying on the spot or on Meituan. We chose "Taishan Kaiyi Seaview B&B". We rented a sea view room. The environment and hygiene were good. The boss and his wife were very nice. They took the initiative to drive to the scenic area to pick us up and take us to the B&B. They would recommend hotels, car rentals and other services. There was no mandatory consumption. District 3 Food: I would recommend "He Yi Restaurant" and "Hai Lan Xuan Restaurant". They are restaurants opened by locals. A meal for 9 people only costs about 450 yuan. The menu is rich, with freshly caught and cooked mussels, snails, mantis shrimps, various fish, crabs and other seafood. There are also sweet and sour spare ribs, stir-fried free-range chicken with ginger and scallions, etc. They are fresh and taste good, but these two restaurants are not on Meituan, so many people will just look at other restaurants on Meituan and go there to eat. Area 4 Tour: I have divided it into two routes: a. The main beach is recommended for

Getting There - Boat Attractions - Beach Hotels - Popeye Holiday Inn Food & Restaurants - Seafood Shopping - Souvenirs There is a beautiful empty beach during the day while the Chinese hide in the room from the sun. Also the swimming pool is all to yourself until 4.30pm. We took a Jeep around the island to remote back roads to find the tranquil quiet places. The sunset beach restaurant provides amazing food with a beautiful sunset. Stayed here 4 days, wonderful. #bestislandtraveltowns#summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay

Jiangmen, a small coastal city hidden in Lingnan, has both the profound culture of an overseas Chinese hometown and the romance of an island. Two days are enough for you to immerse yourself in the blue sea and sky of Xiachuan Island, feel the gentleness of the coconut grove and fine sand, and experience the leisurely life in the fishing village. This guide will take you to travel between islands and delicacies, unlocking a poetic short trip. Itinerary: Two days and one night island tour 🌟Day 1: Explore Xiachuan Island and embrace the coconut breeze and sea charm Morning: Depart for the island Transportation: Drive from Guangzhou or Jiangmen to Taishan Shanzui Port (about 2.5 hours), then take a speedboat (about 40 minutes) directly to Xiachuan Island Duwan Wharf. Tips for visiting the island: It is recommended to purchase a package ticket (including boat ticket + scenic area transportation), the cost is about 154 yuan/person, and reservations must be made in advance during peak season. Noon: Seafood feast Food recommendation: After landing on the island, go straight to the island restaurant and try the "Fisherman's Sea Treasures" (a giant seafood boat, including lobster, abalone, etc.) or the "Assorted Seafood Pot" (choose your own spicy/satay soup base), about 80 yuan per person. Afternoon: Explore Wangfuzhou Coconut Grove Stroll: Take a walk along the 1,600-meter coconut grove coastline and feel the dappled light and shadows of the sun shining through the coconut leaves. Beach Carnival: Experience jet skiing and banana boating at Wangfuzhou Beach, or rent a beach buggy to explore around the island and go through the jungle to the Guanyinshan Observation Deck. Sunset check-in: Go to East Bay in the evening, dine at the Sunset Restaurant while enjoying the golden sunset and taking photos of beautiful silhouettes. Night: Listening to the Waves by the Sea Accommodation recommendation: Choose Xinghai Bay Hotel (sea view room is about 500 yuan/night), or a homestay next to the coconut grove (about 300 yuan/night), and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Nightlife: Have a drink at the beach music bar, or join a campfire party, set off fireworks, count stars, and enjoy the night view of the island. 🌟Day 2: Sunrise and natural wonders Morning: Chasing the Light at Miyan Sunrise strategy: Rent an electric car (about 200 yuan/day) to Miyan, arrive before 5:30, and wait for the sunrise over the sea. If the clouds are thicker, the morning mist and reefs in Niutang Bay will also be picturesque. Morning: Secret Adventure: Exploring Niutang Bay: Ride a beach buggy through the ecological forest to reach Niutang Bay. The reefs here complement the emerald-colored sea water. You can take photos with the grazing cattle and experience the original ecological fishing village style. Climb the 99 steps to the Ascending Rock to overlook the wonders of the "Seven Stars and the Moon" archipelago, and tap the sound stone to listen to the mysterious echo. Noon: Fishing Village Flavor Lunch recommendation: Try "Grandma's Glutinous Rice Balls" (hand-ground taro + seafood) or "Snail" (sweet, fragrant and delicious), paired with Taishan Yellow Eel Rice (you can stop by on the way back). Afternoon: Return trip and surrounding Easter eggs Return route: After returning to Shanzui Port by boat, if you have enough time, you can drive for 1 hour to Kaiping Diaolou (a World Cultural Heritage Site), check in the filming location of "Let the Bullets Fly", and experience the beauty of the combination of Chinese and Western architecture. ‼ ️Travel tips: a worry-free guide to avoid pitfalls 1. Transportation: The ferry schedule is affected by the tides, so it is recommended to check the Shanzui Port timetable in advance. If you rent a car on the island, you need to check the battery level to avoid breaking down. 2. Clothing: Sun protection clothing and sun hats are essential. It is recommended to bring two sets of swimsuits (seawater gets wet easily). The sea breeze is cooler at night, so bring a thin jacket. 3. Consumption: You can bargain at the seafood market, and choose popular food stalls to get fresher food; the signal is weak in some areas of the island, so bring a small amount of cash. The sea breeze passes by your ears, calling you to love life together and keep the romance of the island 🌊✨

A beachcombing trip with a full harvest! The first time I caught such a big crab🦀️, I also had it processed at a barbecue restaurant at night! Super fresh^_^ I felt like I spent most of my two days and one night on the road🤣 and I used various means of transportation… Day 1: Shenzhen (2 hours) — Pier parking — Boat (30 minutes) — Bus (30 minutes) — Park (electric car) — Hotel Afternoon activities: Hotel (van 20 minutes) — Beachcombing location (Zhuwan Village Beach) Beachcombing in the rain! Fortunately, the harvest was good! The first time I caught such a big crab🦀️, you really need good eyesight to catch crabs – they are all hidden in the sand After dinner, the beach was really comfortable～ It was very cool after the rain! I had the caught crab processed at a barbecue restaurant! With a glass of beer9 and coconut juice🥥, it was very pleasant～ Day 2: Island tour! Take a small off-road vehicle, you can drive it yourself, or let the driver drive it. I toured half of the island, and there were some small attractions along the way～ Just take a quick look! Look at the sea and feel the breeze～ Xiachuan Island! Not many tourists, the beach sand is good, and the seafood is also good～ The sea breeze is very cool and comfortable! It's just too much trouble to get there! But it was also a very special beachcombing experience～

Summer is of course the best match with the sea 🌊 Self-drive from Shenzhen 🚗 to Shanzui Pier (about 2 hours) Navigate to the First Port Parking Lot 🅿️, there are many parking lots on the roadside, but I parked for more than 24 hours and paid 87 yuan 💰 Ferry ⛴️ to Duwan Pier, about 40 minutes. Then directly transfer to a minibus Duwan Wharf to Wangfu Scenic Area, about 30 minutes, there are sightseeing buses in the scenic area Ferry--(40min) bus----(20min) sightseeing bus to the hotel The package ticket of 196 yuan is still quite cost-effective (must make an appointment for the island one day in advance) 🍚Eat: Laodifang Seafood Food Stall, Mingji Food Store, Zhutoumei Dessert (not really delicious) Try to see if there is a set meal for meals, after all, a la carte seafood is still a bit expensive 🏨Accommodation: Yunshan Resort (the environment and service of this hotel are still worth recommending, there is a beach outside, and it is also close to Shili Silver Beach) 🛵It is still very comfortable to rent an electric car to go around the island. It is really beautiful to ride around the beach (you can rent it directly at the hotel for 60 a day, and the price is bargained) 🌄It is a pity that I didn’t see the sunrise this time. The weather was bad and the sun didn’t come out. I could only go back to the hotel to catch up on sleep. Summary: DAY1: Shili Silver Beach Lovers Road-----Watching the sunset at Dongwan DAY2: Watching the sunrise at Miyan (5:50)----Going to the beach at Niutang Bay----Traveling around the island by electric donkey Be sure to take good sun protection, otherwise you will get sunburned like me. If it’s too sunny at noon, you can rest in the hotel, and then go out to play or take pictures in the evening, which is very comfortable. ⚠️Note: sunscreen, umbrella, slippers, mosquito repellent, white flower oil, snacks Xiachuan Island Wangfuzhou Tourism Resort

Time: 2023.12.24 Sunday 20:00 Venue: Jiangmen Performing Arts Center Qiaodu Grand Theater Zeng Bit with his explosive curly hair is coming to Jiangmen! Really want to experience the live performance of 'First Love'! Friends coming to Jiangmen, let's check in at the watchtowers together and feel the different scenery! 1. Kaiping Watchtowers The Kaiping Watchtowers Cultural Tourism Area is located in the southwest of the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong Province, in Kaiping City - the hometown of overseas Chinese, architecture, art, and watchtowers. It mainly includes: the world cultural heritage site Zili Village Watchtower Complex, Majianglong Ancient Village, and the unique Li Garden of Chinese overseas Chinese gardens. Here, there are ancient buildings such as villages, watchtowers, western-style houses, residential houses, gardens, and villas, as well as natural landscapes like rivers, hills, fields, lotus ponds, bamboo forests, and trees; a dazzling array of cultural relics and ancient trees, idyllic scenery with small bridges and flowing water, and picturesque dwellings, making it a place with rich tourism resources. 2. Xiachuan Island Wangfuzhou Xiachuan Island Wangfuzhou Tourist Resort has pure seaside scenery, coconut breeze and sea charm, and is a great place for playing in the waves, frolicking in the sand, and enjoying the seaside sunrise and sunset. Of course, fresh seafood is also the main theme here. After disembarking from the pier and going ashore, you need to take a shuttle bus to the scenic area. There is a coconut grove stretching over a thousand meters along the seaside, where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll under the coconut trees with the sea breeze. 3.

Xiaochuan Island is a pleasant place for tourism and leisure. Sometimes when it's too leisurely, I feel like giving myself something to do, so I rented a motorcycle with my friends and raced all the way to the top of Windmill Hill. In the end, it was just me being too adventurous; the ride up the mountain was bumpy, and my butt was nearly wrecked, which was hilarious. ⚠️Important Notes⚠️ 📍Navigate to the flagpole peak 🏍Rent or bring your own motorcycle to drive there, or ask a local friend you know well to take you 👭🏻Go with a companion, because the roads leading up are all mountain roads, and it's good to have someone to look out for each other As the name suggests, Windmill Hill is a hilltop for wind power generation, so there's a lot of wind. The scenery is beautiful, but safety comes first! And most importantly, protect the environment. Leave no trace and take your trash with you.

Really...do you know anything about this large hot spring villa in Jiangmen? My friends have always praised the ceiling of the hot spring villa and it is very suitable for company team building. There are 9 independent hot spring pools. Looking at the courtyard where hot springs can be freely entered in Jiangmen Taishan, the appearance of this villa really won my heart. I drank tea and chatted with friends in the courtyard, had afternoon tea and snacks, and then took a hot spring tour. It was really my dream vacation 📍Address: Taishan, Jiangmen, Guangdong (12 rooms, 22 beds) 💫Facility services: Infinity swimming pool | 9 independent hot spring tea art areas | reception area | barbecue area luxury KTV | indoor children's paradise desert style garden | billiard room/automatic mahjong | electronic arcade chess and card entertainment room | children's room Open Western-style kitchen | Chinese-style kitchen 💫Villa highlights: The villa style is clean and bright, with wabi-sabi style decoration, and every detail is full of details. There are 9 private hot spring bathing pools, and you gently scoop up a few ladles of warm spring water. After soaking in the hot spring, your whole body will be warm. In the evening, there will be a barbecue party in the garden. Spend relaxing time in hot springs Taking pictures in the villa, the atmosphere is full, and it’s a blockbuster Summary: Generally speaking, the facilities are complete and the entertainment facilities are also very interesting. The price-performance ratio of large-sized villas in Jiangmen is really high! 💫Guidelines for surrounding travel: Summer Palace Hot Spring: If you ask what Taishan is famous for, it must be the hot spring here! There are very few people traveling during off-peak hours! 💫Thirty-three Market Street The shooting location of the popular drama "Kurst", the long embankment arcade built along the street brings together Chinese and Western elements~ 💫Mei Family Courtyard The arcade-style buildings are lined up row upon row and are exquisitely decorated. They are representative of the intact overseas Chinese buildings in China and were the filming location of "Let the Bullets Fly" 💫Taishan Xiachuan Island A food paradise focusing on seafood.

|Shimokawa Island. Address: Taishan, Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, 2 hours from Guangzhou. Navigate to Shanzui Port Terminal. 2 Transportation: Park your car at the pier parking lot, 30-40 yuan a day. Don't drive to the island. Not only is it expensive, but you will also miss a lot of things. There are electric motorcycles for rent everywhere on the island for 60-100 yuan a day, and pink convertible jeeps for 200 yuan/2 hours. It is so comfortable to ride or drive along the beach. ③Tickets: Buy online in advance or on site, the package price of 210 is very cost-effective (bring your ID card). Includes round-trip boat tickets (1 hour, 45 minutes by boat), ferry bus (one boat, 20 minutes by boat, don't rush to catch the bus after getting off the boat), and tickets to Wangfuzhou scenic spot. No queues in off-season. 4. Choose Shangchuan Island or Xiachuan Island: Both are great. Xiachuan Island faces west, with better sunsets and coconut groves; Shangchuan Island is larger, facing east, with better sunrise views and Windmill Mountain. But the package ticket for Xiachuan Island was 210, and the package ticket for Shangchuan Island was 185, so I went to Xiachuan Island based on the principle that you get what you pay for. 5 Accommodation: There are many B&Bs and hotels on the island, and the quality is similar, none of them are particularly high-end. The holiday hotel I stayed in was newly renovated and a bit better, costing 350 per night. The hotels are very close to the beach. 6 Time and weather: I think the most important things when going to an island! May 1st to National Day is the peak season, especially during the short holidays, don’t join in the crowds. March to April, October to December are the off-seasons. Although many water activities are not available, there are basically all the fun and food to eat, and the temperature is just right, neither hot nor cold. There are fewer people, lower prices and a better experience. The most important thing is to go on sunny or cloudy days. You will miss a lot of scenery on cloudy days. Don’t go on rainy or typhoon days. 7. Food: Affordable seafood is everywhere on the street. The two of us had four dishes for 220 yuan. ⑧ Fun: take photos at Wangfuzhou Beach and coconut grove, water sports, watch the sunset at the pier beach at the end of Dong'ao Village, watch the sunrise at Miyan in the morning (remember to check the sunrise schedule), rent a car and go for a drive on the beach (you have to rent a car to watch the sunrise and sunset, it is recommended to rent an electric motorcycle), buy fish from fishermen in the evening, rent a boat to go out to sea, catch seafood, eat barbecue on the beach (the cuttlefish sausage is amazing), the most beautiful beach is at Niutang Bay (you can have breakfast and watch the beach at "Zhu Tou Mei" on the way back after watching the sunrise).

#Greater Bay Area must-visit check-in spots In 2023, I visited Xiachuan Island in Taishan, a quiet and beautiful island. This trip is not only a stroll along the coastline, but also a peaceful experience of the island scenery and the sea breeze. The beach of Xiachuan Island is white and soft, surrounded by the blue sea🏝️🌊. The island is covered with lush trees, creating a refreshing green scene. Walking on the beach, with my feet on the soft sand and the sea breeze blowing on my face, I feel the tranquility and comfort of nature. Far away from the hustle and bustle, with only the sound of the waves crashing, it feels like entering a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. In 2024, with my peaceful and beautiful memories of Shimokawa Island, I made a new travel wish. I hope to set foot on this island again and feel the gentleness of the sea breeze and the tranquility of the sea🌴🌞. This is my wonderful hope for future travels, and I look forward to finding more peaceful times on the quiet beaches of Shimokawa Island.
