I've been to Wanshan Island twice.

Wanshan Island, located in the southeast of Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, is one of the main islands of the Wanshan Archipelago. It's known for its pristine natural scenery, fishing village culture, and delicious seafood. Here's a detailed travel guide to help you plan a perfect island getaway: 👍Basic Information ✨Location: Wanshan Town, Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai City, about 40 nautical miles (1.5-2 hours by boat) from Zhuhai city center. ✨Best time to visit: April–October (summer is ideal for swimming and diving, autumn offers the best seafood, and winter can be quite windy). ✨Island features: Tranquil and rustic, fishing village charm, a fishing paradise, and military relics (such as air raid shelters). 🚗Getting Around the Island 🚲Walking/Cycling: The island is small, and most attractions are within walking distance (about 3-4 hours to walk around the island). 🛵Electric scooters: Villagers operate electric scooters near the pier, which you can hire (about CNY 30-50/person). 🚙Bicycle rentals: Some homestays offer bicycle rentals, perfect for a leisurely exploration. ✅Must-See Attractions & Activities 🍁Fushi Bay Witness the rare "glacial potholes" (circular stone holes formed by seawater erosion), a great spot for photos. Note: The rocks are slippery, so wear non-slip shoes and follow safety warnings. 🌿Wanshan Fishing Harbor Experience fishing village life, watch fishing boats return in the morning, and capture the sunset glow in the evening. Participate in "beachcombing" with the fishermen (collecting shells and catching crabs during low tide). ☘️Fishing & Diving Fishing: Wanshan is an international fishing destination. You can rent a boat for fishing (about CNY 500-1,000/boat, including fishing gear). Diving: The nearby waters have high visibility. Contact a local diving club (summer is the best time). 🌴Military Relics Explore Cold War relics such as air raid shelters and artillery emplacements, perfect for history buffs. 🪴Island Hiking Recommended route: Pier > Tianhou Temple > Fushi Bay > Fishing Harbor > East Coast Viewing Platform. 🍱Food Recommendations 🍤Must-try seafood: General's Hat (a type of snail), Gooseneck Barnacles, Grouper, Mantis Shrimp, and Oysters. Recommended restaurants: 🍹Pei Ji Seafood Restaurant: A long-established restaurant with clearly marked prices. Steamed fish is recommended. 🥙Fishermen's Food Stalls: Freshly caught and cooked seafood, around CNY 80-150/person. 🍲Self-purchase and processing: Buy seafood at the pier market and have it cooked at your homestay or a restaurant (CNY 15-30/500g). 🏨Accommodation Guide ◆High-end: Wanshan Jingyun Villa (mountainside villas, sea-view rooms around CNY 1,000+/night). ◆Cost-effective: Fisherman's Homestays (such as "Haifeng Homestay," CNY 200-400/night, clean and simple). ◆Tips: Book 1 month in advance during peak season (Labor Day, National Day), and you can negotiate prices on-site during the off-season. 📝Things to Note ①Weather: Protect yourself from the sun in summer (hats and sunglasses are essential). Boats may be suspended during typhoons. ②Cash: Some small shops only accept cash. It's recommended to have around CNY 500. ③Environmental protection: Do not litter and protect the coral reefs. ④Internet access: The signal on the island is generally okay, but weak in some areas. 🗓Suggested Itinerary (2 days, 1 night) Day 1: Arrive on the island > Lunch at the fishing harbor > Fushi Bay > Island hike > Seafood dinner > Stargazing. Day 2: Early morning fishing/beachcombing > Visit military relics > Return trip. Wanshan Island is perfect for travelers who enjoy a slow pace and seek pristine nature. Avoid peak season crowds to fully experience its tranquility and wilderness! Feel free to ask any further questions.
