Guishan Island | A secluded island just 1h boat ride from Shenzhen

Taking advantage of good weather is perfect for island hopping! A hidden gem just 1h boat ride from Shenzhen 🏝️ Here's a complete guide! - 📌 Accommodation The island is divided into two areas. The main village is more convenient with many seafood restaurants. Halfway up the mountain, there are many guesthouses perfect for those who want sea views. Considering hygiene, I chose the "Holiday Inn Express," and was surprised to find that the standard 45㎡ room even had a bathtub! - 📌 Activities Although many say you can explore the entire island in one day, I still recommend splitting it into two days because both sides of the island require significant physical effort. Completing everything in one day would be exhausting 🥲🥲 ✨Day 1: Head toward the lighthouse, take photos with the Guishan Island IP mascot benches, then proceed to the lighthouse where aerial shots produce great effects. Try climbing the mountain on the left side of the path—the view from the top is excellent! Afterward, visit the seaside boardwalk where there are several great photo spots. Using corners and overhead angles can help you avoid crowds in your photos. ✨Day 2: Walk toward Aimin Road, first stopping at the famous pedestrian crossing intersection. Then climb uphill to reach the actual Aimin Road, which involves continuous uphill hiking. When you reach the main guesthouse area, every step offers a scenic view. I recommend visiting the back entrance of the "Sky Boundary" guesthouse—the mountain road has fewer people but still offers sea views 🌊 - 📌 Food You must visit the market to buy fresh seafood and have it cooked! The taste is really good. Remember to bring water with you as exploring the island requires quite a bit of energy.
