This is my dream island.

Why didn’t anyone tell me this before going to West Island…😭||🎫Offline ticket price: 95 yuan, online ticket price: 90 yuan 🎫 Hainan residents ticket price: 80 yuan 🎫Student/children ticket: 50 yuan ⏰Opening hours: 08:30-17:30, 18:00 (off-island) 🚌Bus: Take bus No. 16/25/26/2/55/57 to Xidao Station, then walk about 300 meters 🚘 Rent a car and drive: Xiaoqi Port Pier, free parking, and then walk 5 minutes to the ticket office ⚠️Notes 1⃣️Those who buy tickets online must buy them in advance. If you buy tickets less than one hour later, you will not be allowed to enter. 2⃣️During the peak season, it is best to avoid peak travel and go out early, otherwise you will have to wait in line for at least an hour. Note that if you miss the last boat, you can only stay on the island. 3⃣️You can rent a car in the scenic area to the foot of Niuwangling Mountain, but you cannot drive into the fishing village; you can bargain for renting a car in the fishing village, but you can only rent it in the fishing village, and you must be careful that someone will seize the car 4⃣️It is recommended to go to the Niuwangling reef area in the afternoon, the light and clouds are just right, pay attention to your feet when taking pictures, don't slip into the sea 5⃣️The boat ride to the island takes about 15-20 minutes. It will shake when encountering wind and waves. Take seasickness medicine half an hour in advance if you are seasick💊 6⃣️Beach lounge chairs and cradles outside the village are charged! ! Don't sit casually 7⃣️ If you bring a lot of things with you, you can go to the tourist center to rent a locker after you arrive on the island. It costs 20 yuan each and a deposit of 50 yuan 8⃣️When visiting scenic spots, be sure to wear sunscreen and prepare items to cool down and prevent heatstroke 9⃣️When taking photos, it is best not to step on the steps at the doorstep of the villagers' house, as you may be scolded. 1⃣️0⃣️ Check the weather before traveling. Don’t go to West Island on the last day. If the weather is bad, you will miss the flight. 1⃣️1⃣️The boarding time is not fixed. You can get on board by queuing up and waiting for the boat to arrive. 1⃣️2⃣️The water in Xidao is very clear, but the sand is very coarse, and there are many shells and corals that hurt your feet. You need to wear a pair of thick-soled slippers, especially if you are with a baby. 1⃣️3⃣️ Although West Island is small, it will be very sunburned and tiring to walk the whole way. It is best to rent a tour bus (cannot enter the village) or an electric car 1⃣️4⃣️The most beautiful moments of West Island are sunrise (6 o'clock) and sunset (6:30) 1⃣️5⃣️There are many hotels and homestays in West Island. It is recommended to book one week in advance. The price is likely to increase when the deadline comes. 1⃣️6⃣️If you want to play with beach sand, you can go to the Binhai Bathing Beach, where the sand is relatively fine and soft 1⃣️7⃣️Prepare the tools before going to the beach. If you stay in a B&B, you can ask the owner if they have any for rent. 1⃣️8⃣️Try not to dive in Sanya in winter. The water is very turbid and you can't see clearly at all. The corals are also artificial. 1⃣️9⃣️I’ve stayed in a pretty good B&B in the village - Daoyu. The sea is just over a hundred meters away and it’s not noisy at all at night! The room is actually much larger than it looks in the photos, with a private bathroom, a full set of toiletries and a bathtub! When I’m tired from playing and don’t want to go out, I just lie on the big bed and watch a movie 🎬 It’s so relaxing~ 📷Photography check-in points: ✅Coral cut wall ✅Beachfront bathing area ✅Niuwangling ✅Love Hand-painted Avenue ✅Sea Book House ✅Coral Old House
