Things to do in Yangxi

This hidden pearl fishing port in Yangxi can be called "the last island utopia in western Guangdong"! The 3-kilometer crescent-shaped beach has not been eroded by commercialization. When the tide is low, a mirror-like jelly sea is exposed, and you can see schools of sardines shuttling around. In the morning, follow the Tanka fishermen to dig geoducks (tool rental is 10 yuan), and in the evening, watch the returning fishing boats cut through the sunset in the century-old coconut hammock. The slow pace has the power of healing. The seafood market is freshly caught and cooked (50 yuan per person for lobster, but there are few entertainment facilities, which is suitable for pure island fundamentalists. Short review: The natal beach for social phobia patients, unlocking high-level healing at a low cost! (Hidden copy: Chartering a boat to go out to sea to fish for squid is 200 yuan/boat, and the spoils can be made into sashimi)

The most loyal repeat customer, not only me, but my whole family is very satisfied, worth recommending! A good place for vacation and retirement! If you live there for a long time, it will be very comfortable to buy a small fan, and it will be uncomfortable to turn on the air conditioner all the time!

Hailing Island, formerly known as Luozhou, is located in the northern waters of the South China Sea, southwest of Jiangcheng District, Yangjiang City, 20 kilometers from downtown. It is 23 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide. Hailing Island has a total land area of 108.9 square kilometers, making it the largest island in Yangjiang City. Hailing Island boasts over ten scenic coastal tourist attractions, including the Taifu Temple, Linggu Temple, the Ancient Fort, the Zhenhai Pavilion, and the Guanyin Pavilion. In January 2001, Dajiao Bay on Hailing Island was designated a National 4A Scenic Area by the National Tourism Administration, becoming the only national-level coastal tourist area in Guangdong Province. As Guangdong's fourth-largest island, Hailing Island's tertiary industry is primarily based on tourism, making it one of the earliest areas in Guangdong to develop coastal tourism. After more than two decades of development and construction, the island has seen rapid economic and social growth, earning it numerous national honors, including National Blue Tourism Demonstration Base, China's Top Ten Treasure Islands, China's Top Ten Beautiful Islands, National Marine Park, National Mangrove Wetland Park, National Central Fishing Port, and National Underwater Archaeology Base. In 2016, it was included in the State Council's 13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Island Tourism Destination. In 2020, it was designated as one of the third batch of Guangdong Province's All-Area Tourism Demonstration Zones. In June 2023, Hailing Island was selected for inclusion in the national list of "Harmonious Islands."

Dajiaowan Beach, a five-star scenic area on Hailing Island, one of China's top ten most beautiful beaches, is much less crowded than the free side of Hailing Island due to its admission fee, resulting in a better experience. After swimming, you can rinse off, and the beach has many shells to collect. However, the park is still under renovation, so you have to backtrack to exit from the main entrance.

I must commend our handsome tour guide! The itinerary was very well planned, avoiding any unnecessary detours. He took special care of the older members of our group, looking after them attentively throughout the trip and even helping with their luggage and backpacks – his service was incredibly heartwarming. His explanations were detailed, and he was very approachable, making the entire trip relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you so much!!!

This hotel is perfect for a chill vacation. The ocean view is unbeatable and definitely worth returning to. The service is excellent, and the hotel feels like a small estate with great privacy. This is why I chose it. If I had to suggest something, I'd appreciate the addition of a high-definition projector with a retractable motorized screen. Also, I'd like to upgrade the hairdryer to a Dyson. Otherwise, it's practically perfect.

We entered from the South Gate. Although there were many people, it wasn't chaotic at all. The signs were very clear, and the staff were very responsible. It was a very enjoyable trip for the kids; Guangzhou is beautiful and delicious. It was our first time seeing a rhinoceros and our first time riding a cable car—a great experience!

I purchased the 450m platform view. My wife is scared of heights, so we didn't do the 360 ball ride. After going up top and seeing it move very slow and it has secure safety railing, I regret not purchasing that package. It's definitely not scary.

Shuangshan Island is dotted with ponds and green trees. It is a pleasant place to stroll around in the fresh air, warm in winter and cool in summer. There are ferries between Shuangshan and the port area, which is quite convenient. There are resorts on the island, where you can stay with a few friends.
