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)

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.

After visiting the venue, I stopped by the store to do some shopping. The store had a wide variety of products, including novel refrigerator magnets and keychains, all of which were exclusive to the park and of good quality. They were perfect as souvenirs for my trip.

This is a treasure trove of a museum; I thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour. I went during the May Day holiday, and it wasn't too crowded. I imagine it would be better to go on a weekday when it's less crowded, and it's also a great place to bring kids. Behind the museum is the beach, which is quite unique.

The ecological environment is excellent, and the animals have ample living and activity areas. The tour itinerary is also quite good. There are many tourists, requiring a relatively long wait in line, but the staff are well-organized, friendly, and attentive. The downside is that the park opens at 9:30 AM, and after waiting in line for over 30 minutes, it gets very hot, and some animals become lethargic. In short, the wait for the mini-train and cable car is quite long, and it can be tiring.

Weizhou Island is indeed quite famous, and the cost of traveling there is also quite high. A round-trip ferry ticket costs at least 300 yuan, and the island entrance fee is 98 yuan. Add in accommodation, transportation, and food, and the total cost exceeds 1000 yuan. The attractions you can visit include Crocodile Mountain Geopark (requires some physical exertion), Wucai Beach (for sunrise), and Shiluokou (for sunset). As for the Blue Bridge and the church, well, let's just say they're not worth visiting.
