- Unique Natural Landscapes: As China's youngest volcanic island and Guangxi's largest island, the Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area, formed by volcanic eruptions, boasts well-preserved relics of multiple periods of volcanic activity. Its stunning trinity of sea cliffs, sea caves, and sea platforms is truly breathtaking.
- Rich Marine Ecology: The island boasts over 85% vegetation coverage, and its air and water quality meet national Class-A standards. It is the only habitat for Bryde's whales offshore the mainland and home to China's highest-latitude coral reefs, a coral reef ecosystem that has seen significant recovery in recent years.
- Pleasant Climate: Enjoying a subtropical marine monsoon climate, with mild winters and mild summers, and an average annual temperature of 23°C, it's ideal for travel in all seasons. In summer, visitors can enjoy spectacular sunrises and sunsets over the sea, while in autumn, seafood is plentiful.
- Diverse Cultural Attractions: The century-old Weizhou Catholic Church, constructed from submarine coral sediments, is a classic example of Renaissance French Gothic architecture. The Sanpo Temple in Nanwan remains a popular attraction.
- Rich Travel Experiences: Enjoy water sports like diving and sea fishing at Shiluokou Beach. Renting an electric scooter for a tour around the island is also a great option. You can also wait for the sunrise at Wucai Beach, watch the sunset at Shiluokou Beach, and collect shells at Shell Beach.
- Inconvenient Transportation: Access to Weizhou Island requires a ferry, which has relatively fixed departure times. Bad weather and other factors may affect your itinerary. Furthermore, the main modes of transportation on the island are electric scooters, sidecars, and minivans, which may be inconvenient for some tourists.
- Tourist Facilities Need Improvement: While the island offers a variety of accommodation and dining options, the overall quality varies. Some accommodations are basic, and the food is expensive and the food is average.
- High Commercialization: Some attractions are overly commercial. For example, at Shiluokou Beach, many motorcyclists and trinket vendors follow tourists around, disrupting the tourist experience. Crowded with tourists during peak season: During peak tourist season, Weizhou Island is crowded with tourists, especially at popular attractions such as Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area and Wucai Beach. This can cause crowds, affecting the viewing experience.
It is very suitable to rent an electric car to travel around the island. I recommend Shiluokou Beach, which has many beautiful shells. It is very beautiful to take pictures at night. Overall, the boat ticket and entrance fee to the island are still worth it.

It is the flood season, the scenery of the waterfall is very beautiful, the shuttle bus is also very fast, there are more people playing in the summer vacation, the bamboo raft needs to queue up, the bad thing is that the parking lot of the scenic area is not arranged reasonably, the vehicle exit queue is at least 20 minutes
Remember, you must go early. We arrived at around 9 o'clock and there were not many people. We walked and stopped, (took a bamboo raft and an electric car) were charged separately, took photos and checked in. It took more than 2 hours to finish the tour. On the way back, we saw that the traffic to the scenic spot was heavily congested, at least an hour, so you must arrive early, otherwise you will be delayed in traffic jams and looking for parking spaces.

When you come to Nanning, you must visit Qingxiu Mountain. It is worthy of being a 5A mountain. The ticket price of 20 is too good. You can't finish visiting it in one day. The scenery is different during the day and at night. I think it would be a crime to come here in spring.
It's a great place to take photos, and it's quite large inside. The only problem is that there are so many mosquitoes that you can't see them at all, just the lumps all over your body. I was really bitten by mosquitoes and had to leave the park early.

Although the weather was not very good, I still had a lot of fun. I didn't play many of the entertainment facilities because there were so many people and I didn't want to queue. I just wandered around. The NPC provided a lot of emotional value! The photo was taken very actively and it was very good hahaha
I just went there yesterday, let me tell you about my personal experience! I thought it would be less crowded on a rainy day, but when I got there it was quite crowded. The park is quite large. If you go to Fantawild, you can download a Fantawild Travel APP, which allows you to see all the attractions in the park. There are two attractions that require cloud queuing, which can be operated on the APP. I entered the park at 5 pm and played until the park closed at 10 pm. I didn't finish the tour and the attractions. Some attractions required a long queue and were over in just a few minutes, which was quite time-consuming. Although there are many attractions, it's not very amazing for an adult like me. It's more suitable for children. You should also buy a raincoat before entering because you need a raincoat to play the attractions. A raincoat in the scenic area is 45 yuan each, which is very expensive. You have to carry a backpack to pack your things and wear slippers or Crocs that can get wet. If you haven't been there, you can experience it once. The lanterns in the lake are quite beautiful at night. I don't recommend going to the Frozen snow-playing project at your own expense. It costs 49 yuan + 15 yuan to rent shoes. I wanted to leave after playing for less than 10 minutes. It was too cold. 🥶 Down jackets are worn by many people every day and have a peculiar smell. I still feel the smell after taking them off. There are not many people playing inside.

From the gate to the canyon entrance, you have to go through a trail. After entering the park, there are very long wooden steps, which is very physically demanding, but it is really worth the trip, especially the circular cave near the waterfall. The children love it very much. The waterfall falls straight down, and the water splashes against the wind. It is very comfortable^_^
The entire Tongling Grand Canyon is lush with lush forests and medicinal plants! The oxygen level is incredibly high! It requires a lot of hiking, including many stairs. We walked a lot, but the air was so fresh! I felt completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire walk, not feeling tired at all! At the end is the Tongling Waterfall, which I personally found to be incredibly beautiful and spectacular! It's so high and majestic! You absolutely have to walk inside to the Water Curtain Cave!!! Finally, we hiked back to the entrance and took a seven- to eight-minute tourist minibus for ten yuan per person to the exit, which is also the entrance.

Living in the villa, you can visit the countryside and surroundings in detail, and the villa uses bicycles for free. The surrounding scenery is about 5 kilometers away. The mountains and clear waters are beautiful. Especially eye-catching, to make a blockbuster [scenery] [price-performance ratio]
It's worth a visit. The scenic area is well managed and the service attitude is good. The boatman and the tour guide always greeted us with a smile. The girl patiently explained and sang folk songs. The scenic spot is compact, the scenery is beautiful, and it's very photogenic.

Beihai Silver Beach is a tourist destination worthy of its reputation! The 24-kilometer coastline is endless, and the fine white sand is glittering in the sun. The seawater here is pure, the waves are gentle and there are no sharks. Whether you are walking on the beach or experiencing water activities such as surfing and windsurfing, it is very pleasant. In the evening, the setting sun dyes the sea surface orange-red, which contrasts with the clouds in the sky, and is as beautiful as a fairyland. Coupled with the music fountain light show of the "Chao" sculpture, it is simply intoxicating and unforgettable.
The salty smell of the sea breeze 🎉 Beihai Silver Beach, a national AAAA-level scenic spot, is known as "Beidaihe in the South and Hawaii in the East".
The beach here is long and flat, with a wide and flat 24-kilometer coastline and a gentle slope, allowing you to stroll and run to your heart's content. The sand is fine and white, and the beach formed by the accumulation of high-grade quartz sand is as delicate as powder, white and flawless. It shines silver under the sun, like a dreamland. The water temperature is clean, with an average annual water temperature of 23.7℃. You can swim in the sea for 10 months. There is no industrial pollution in the sea area, and the water quality exceeds the average coastal standard by more than one times. The waves are soft and the waves are gentle and soothing. It is a natural beach where you can swim in the sea without worries. The air is fresh, rich in iodine, magnesium chloride, etc., and has a high content of negative ions. It is a "natural oxygen bar".
In addition, there is Asia's largest laser music fountain and a giant sculpture "Chao", and the multimedia show every night is magnificent. Whether it is a family trip, a date or a gathering with friends, Beihai Silver Beach is an excellent choice. Come here and leave beautiful memories.

The scenic area is divided into water and land routes. To be honest, the water route is a bit perfunctory. It takes 20 minutes by boat and returns along the same route. There is only one suspension bridge where the Journey of Flower was filmed and a mountain along the whole way. The other scenery is mediocre, but the land route is still quite interesting. After taking the boat, you can walk into the park. There are the internet-famous flower sea, rushing water, and the internet-famous cave milk tea shop. You can walk and stop for about 3 hours. Overall, it is not bad, but the ticket price is more expensive than the Niagara Falls.

I've been here many years ago, and this time I brought my kids back to check it out. While it might seem unremarkable from the outside, the interior is a truly spectacular use of space. The exhibition area is incredibly large, and even a quick tour would take half a day to complete.
The park features marine life, amphibians, reptiles, primates, birds, insects, and a large collection of rare and large specimens. Biology enthusiasts could spend a whole day exploring. There's a dedicated photo spot on the rooftop with a stunning sea view.
For those with children, I recommend arriving at 9 AM so you can stroll along and catch the mermaid, sea lion, and manta ray shows.
The sea can be seen in three hours. There are marine life, reptiles, birds, and insects. Overall, it is OK. The mermaid is very good, it is still worth seeing.

Rafting at the Gulongshan Grand Canyon was absolutely amazing and highly recommended. I missed the trip to Tongling Grand Canyon because the Detian Waterfall didn't release its water, which was a bit disappointing. I hope to make up for it next time. A partial refund for any unused portion of the package would have been even better.
Rafting in the Gulongshan Grand Canyon was absolutely amazing, hands down. The scenery along the way was breathtaking. We opted for the classic rafting option, and the guide kept us updated with the scenery along the way. Don't miss the opportunity to spot the stone figure of the chief in the first picture and read the story behind it. A partial refund would have been even better if we didn't use the package. We stubbornly waited until 3 p.m. for the Detian Waterfall to release its water, but it didn't, so we missed out on the Tongling Grand Canyon.
