🌊Guangzhou➡️Beihai: High-speed train 5h
🚉Beihai➡️Weizhou Island: 🚢1.2h, buy ferry tickets on the WeChat official account "Laiyouba" (🎫150–180) + Island fee 🎫98 (20 mins from the station to the pier)
❗️Buy ferry tickets 2 days in advance during the off-season. We could only buy 180 tickets for the return trip, but compared to the 150 tickets on the way there, the environment is much more comfortable. If you're worried about seasickness, you can buy the 180 ones.

🏨Accommodation: The homestay booked online is quite nice. You can buy seafood and have it processed at the homestay. The homestay also provides travel guides and pier transfers, and the price is also cheap~
🛵Transportation: You can basically rent scooters on the island, 60/day. We rented a car at the homestay, with no time limit. It's so cool to ride around the island.
📝Travel essentials: Sunscreen🧴, sunglasses🕶️, sun hat👒, motion sickness medicine💊, flip-flops🩴, toiletries, cold medicine (our friend caught a cold on the first day from the sea breeze)

Day 1⃣️:
We arrived at the homestay around 5pm, so we planned to go directly to Nanwan Street for dinner🦞
💛Nanwan Food Street: The most lively place on Weizhou Island, there is a seafood market. We bought seafood in the evening, found a shop to process it, and after dinner, went to Qiqi's Dessert Shop (Nanwan Street No. 1 Store) for dessert. The super lively street makes this small island even more welcoming.

Day 2⃣️:
💛Shell Beach🐚: Weizhou Island - Shell Beach. We went out at 6am and rode a scooter🛵 to Shell Beach to watch the sunrise🌅. The sand is very fine, and the sunrise is super beautiful (Picture 4)
💛Catholic Church⛪️: Weizhou Island Catholic Church (Picture 9) is right next to Shell Beach. We found a small shop nearby for breakfast, visited the church, peaceful and beautiful (keep quiet when entering the church)
💛Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area: Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area, the only scenic spot on the island that requires tickets, is the core scenic spot of Weizhou Island, and the volcanic crater scenic spot is inside. It takes about 2h to visit. We bought scenic spot bus tickets 🎫20 yuan for round-trip transfers (otherwise, it's a long walk). You need to climb slopes, and a long section of the road around the sea is open-air and very sunny (strongly recommend going in the morning). Standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the sea is absolutely stunning (Picture 24)
💛Dishuidanping: Dishuidanping Scenic Area - Beach. It's very close to Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area. We rested on the beach for a while, enjoyed the sea breeze, and chatted.
💛Island Ring Road: The most beautiful ring road is a must-pass on the way to Nanwan Street. We went to Qingning Ice Room for dessert. Their herbal jelly + fried yogurt is really👍. The owner even let us move chairs🪑to the roadside to take pictures. You deserve fresh summer road photos~(Picture 256)
💛Blue Bridge Beach: The sunset is extremely beautiful (Picture 7)

Day 3⃣️:
💛Shiluokou Beach: Shiluokou Beach. Because Muya is closed, we found a photo spot as spectacular as Muya. Walk to the right at the entrance of the beach, and when you see a mountain, you've arrived (Picture 3)
At noon, we went back to Qingning Ice Room for herbal jelly and then returned.

🌻Truth: Everyone has mixed reviews about Weizhou Island. It's true that you might encounter scams when buying seafood, but riding around the sea is really comfortable. Passing by small villages gives me the feeling of living in the countryside of Hainan with my grandparents when I was a child. Traveling is for happiness, so you can learn more and try to avoid being scammed~
