Crocodile Volcano Park



This park is really far away. There are Crocodile Mountain Lighthouse, Crater Ruins, etc. in the scenic area. It is a well-maintained scenic spot. Remember to bring your ID card and ticket when you go there.



The sea water is very clean, and the wind blowing on my face is very comfortable~~



I have seen enough of the cloudy scenery this time. I hope it will be sunny when you go there🌞

The Crocodile Hill Scenic Area is located on Crocodile Ridge on the west side of Nanwan. It includes Crocodile Hill Lighthouse, Tangweng Terrace, Crater Ruins, Dragon Palace Exploration, Turtle Cave, Thief Cave, Hundred Beasts in the Sea, Sea Arch Bridge, Moon Bay, Coral Sedimentary Rock Scene, Sea Drying and Rock Rotting, Moon Square and other attractions, as well as geological wonders such as volcanic bomb impact craters, ancient tree fossils, water curtain caves, sea pillars, and sea erosion piers.

The only attraction on Weizhou Island that requires ticket inspection is Crocodile Mountain Volcano Geological Park, which means that this is the only attraction on the island that requires ticket inspection, and you can only enter the scenic area once. Other attractions do not require ticket inspection and have no restrictions on the number of times. The Crocodile Mountain Tourist Service Center is about 2 kilometers away from the main entrance of Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park. You can choose to walk or go to the tourist center to buy sightseeing bus tickets, 20 yuan/person, and there are no discount tickets.

The poetic beauty of the Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park on Weizhou Island intoxicated me and shocked my heart. Located in the southernmost part of Weizhou Island, the Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park on Weizhou Island is the essence of Weizhou Island and the only scenic spot on Weizhou Island that can be entered with a ticket. It was rated as a national 4A tourist attraction in 2009. Personally, I think the most worthwhile place to visit when visiting Weizhou Island is the Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park on Weizhou Island. When you enter the Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park, the first thing that comes into view is the Weizhou Lighthouse, which is 79.8 meters above sea level on Weizhou Island. Walk about 100 meters, turn left and go down the mountain, passing Tang Wengtai, Moon Square and the remains of the crater. The highlights of Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park include the crater ruins, Tongtian Cave, Turtle Cave, Devil Stone, Thief Cave, Beasts in the Sea, Mini Pig Ridge, Sea Arch Bridge, Sea Platform, Ancient Waves, Moon Bay, Sea Drying and Rocks Rotten, Lover's Bridge, Love in Weizhou, Platform Listening to Waves, and other unique sea erosion landforms, typical volcanic geological relics, a 2-kilometer coastal wooden plank road, and beautiful natural scenery. It is a good place to take pictures! The fusion of water and fire, love in Weizhou, come on! Young friends, this is also a romantic place to witness love! Weizhou Island with blue sky and clear water, the charm of the volcano is endless!

The scenery is really nice. Standing on the observation deck and looking at the sea is refreshing! Here are a few shortcomings, and I hope that Beihai's tourism will get better and better: First, you must buy a 98 yuan ticket to the Volcano Geological Park to go to Weizhou Island. It can be understood as the starting point of protecting the ecology, but this is a bit forced and makes you feel bad; secondly, there is only a narrow road in the scenic area, and it is all stairs. Why not consider making it wider? It was so blocked during the Spring Festival that it was very easy to get out of danger...see pictures! Third, the scenic area is known as a "national" geological park. Except for the ticket checkers and sellers, I have never seen staff to maintain order, and this is also the case with so many people during the Spring Festival. The service in the scenic area needs to be improved! Three stars for the scenery!

By The Devil Among Angels |

The volcanic rocks here are in various shapes and forms, which are so amazing that people can't help but sigh at the ingenuity of nature. The scenic area does not go back, but follows the signs and walks along the seaside to experience the different stormy waves, sea-eroded rocks and tropical green plants.

The weather is still cloudy, and the sea water is still very clear. It is conceivable that the scenery will be more beautiful if it is sunny.

Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area is located in Crocodile Ridge on the west side of Nanwan. It has the richest volcanic sea erosion landscape in China and the most complete multi-period volcanic activity relics preserved in China. Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area includes: Crocodile Mountain Lighthouse, Tang Weng Terrace, Crater Site, Dragon Palace Exploration, Turtle Cave, Thieves Cave, Hundred Beasts in the Sea, Sea Arch Bridge, Moon Bay, Coral Sedimentary Rock Scene, Sea Drying and Rock Rotten, Moon Square and other attractions. There are also geological wonders such as volcanic bomb impact craters, ancient tree fossils, water curtain caves, sea erosion pillars, and sea erosion piers.

Many of the boardwalks along the coast in Crocodile Mountain National Park are actually semi-open. You can walk down the bridge to the beach and directly onto the rocks. You can take photos and play with the sea water. This design is really thoughtful. The brave ones can get a little closer. We climbed directly to the edge of the rock, but please note that the rocks are very slippery due to the constant beating of the sea water. Please be careful if you want to go down to the beach. Some of the rocks are steep and it is easy to slide into the sea.

This is a place worth spending a day to slowly explore.

Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park is very large, and most of it is a plank road. Climbing up the mountain is very shocking. You can overlook the entire South Bay and the vast South China Sea. It is very shocking and worth a visit. The ticket is the ticket to the island, so be sure to keep it safe.

From the perspective of photography, Crocodile Hill is the most famous attraction on the island. It is a peninsula that extends from the southeast to the southwest. In principle, both sunrise and sunset can be seen here, but the angles are not very good. At the same time, the scenic area has opening and closing times.

Crocodile Hill is the highest point on the island, and you can see the entire South Bay and Moon Bay. It is also the only attraction on the island that requires tickets. Don't throw away the tickets for the island, you will need them here. There are two ways to get to Crocodile Hill: one is to take a special battery car to the scenic spot (other vehicles on the island are not allowed to enter), 20 yuan round trip. The boarding location is at the tourist center (actually the big stone tablet around the island). It is close to Shiluokou, Dishui Danping and South Bay. The second is to walk there. Dishui Village is closer, about 20-30 minutes of leg journey. It is uphill all the way, and it is not recommended to walk there. In addition, the walking path is still some distance away from the cliff, and you can't see the sea view if you choose to walk.

After entering Crocodile Mountain, you actually go around the peninsula of Crocodile Mountain. Go down the cliff on the left side of the lighthouse, and then go down to the east side of the Crocodile Mountain Peninsula, just facing the South Bay. Go all the way around the west side of the peninsula and come up from the right side of the lighthouse. There is only one road, so don't be afraid of going wrong. The route around the peninsula here is very similar to the section on Wuzhizhou Island in Sanya where you can only take a battery car. The difference is that it is fully open here. You can slowly walk to enjoy the beautiful scenery. It is worth spending half a day to take a good look around, which is much more generous than Wuzhizhou Island! There is a large platform near Moon Bay for easy take-off. The walking path is seen along the coast. Compared with the same section of Wuzhizhou Island that does not allow tourists to enter for free, there are too many generous things here! No one will care if the aircraft takes off here, and it is much better than Sanya from the shooting angle!

Because we were traveling with a lot of people and luggage, the electric sightseeing car we booked in advance was waiting for us at the exit of the pier. We were first taken to the hotel to put our luggage, and then we rushed to the Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area. The entire Weizhou Island is about 25 square kilometers, which is still very large. Transportation mainly relies on renting electric motorcycles or electric sightseeing cars. Weizhou Island is the largest island in Guangxi. It was formed by volcanic eruptions. More than 95% of the strata are composed of volcanic rocks. There are landscapes such as sea erosion, marine accumulation and lava. It is also the youngest volcanic island in China.

By Rise from Fire |

Nanwan Crocodile Hill Scenic Area includes Crocodile Hill, Colorful Beach, Red Square, Nanwan Ocean Sports Park and part of the sea area, with a total area of 3.8 square kilometers. Nanwan Crocodile Hill Scenic Area is famous at home and abroad for its beautiful island scenery, typical volcanic geological relics, peculiar sea erosion micro-landscape, rich ecological tourism resources and comfortable and pleasant climate.

You can't drive your own electric car here, so you have to go to the visitor center to transfer to a tour bus. It seems to be the most formal attraction on the island. It is also quite large and can be played for more than an hour. There will be some climbing, so it is suitable to come in the morning to cool down. It is a geological park, where you can learn a lot about the various landforms formed by volcanic eruptions.

Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park is the only attraction in the entire Weizhou Island that requires a ticket to enter. We bought the tickets for the attraction together with the round-trip boat tickets, so when we get here we only need to swipe our ID card to enter the park.

Weizhou Island is a volcanic island, so there are many sea erosion and marine accumulation landforms on the island. Crocodile Mountain is the most concentrated and diverse scenic spot of these landforms. Standing on Nanwan Street and looking southwest, Crocodile Mountain, like a "giant crocodile", lurks quietly on the coast, silently.

By WinKing |

Weizhou Island Crater Geological Park is located in the southwest of Weizhou Island, at the foot of the "Crocodile" Mountain. Weizhou Island Crater is famous for its spectacular volcanic lava and is the most important scenic spot on Weizhou Island. Its crater landscape, sea erosion landscape, tropical plant landscape, biological and astronomical landscape are unique and have high scientific research value.

Located on the Crocodile Ridge on the west side of the South Bay of Weizhou Island, about 4 kilometers away from the town center, here you can see the most complete remains of volcanic activity. The scenic area includes Crocodile Mountain Lighthouse, Crater Site, Dragon Palace Exploration, Turtle Cave, Sea Arch Bridge, Moon Bay, Coral Sedimentary Rock, Moon Square, etc. There are also geological wonders such as volcanic bomb impact craters, ancient tree fossils, water curtain caves, sea erosion pillars, and sea erosion piers.

The main entrance of Crocodile Mountain Park is about 2 kilometers away from the tourist service center (also known as the museum). You can walk there or buy a sightseeing bus ticket for 20 yuan per person. The scenic area is a circular route and you don't have to go back. The first thing you see after entering the park is the lighthouse. After passing the lighthouse, turn left and go down the mountain, and just walk along the plank road.

By LZY |

This park is the highlight of Weizhou Island. It is the only attraction on the island that requires a ticket. You must visit it when you come to Weizhou Island. The scenic area is beautiful, surrounded by mountains and water, and there are volcanic rocks along the beach. There are many classic attractions gathered here. It takes at least half a day to play here. You need to swipe your second-generation ID card to enter the park, and you don’t need a ticket, so don’t forget to bring it when you go to the island.

By A ray of morning light |

The scenery is very average, the accommodation on the island is ridiculously expensive, the environment is also very average, the food and accommodation are very bad, and the round-trip boat ticket and the island are 400, which is not worth the price at all. It is recommended to come for a day or two to experience it, there is no need to stay longer. If you like island travel, you can go to Thailand for this price

By ╭The little devil°╮ |

It is not recommended to go with children. There are wooden stairs going up and down. My child is four and a half years old and walked by himself the whole way. If he is younger, he can only be carried. There is only a small beach where you can go down, and you can't swim. Coconuts are 25 yuan each. You must eat and drink enough before entering the scenic area, and bring enough water. I came to the island on the second day, but I didn't apply sunscreen on my chest and got sunburned directly. It is recommended to touch up the makeup throughout the whole trip. The child was also tanned into black coal, but fortunately he didn't get sunburned. I didn't see the crater. There were bugs everywhere where there were stones. When I stepped on them, the bugs followed. It felt a bit like a ghost blowing out the light.

By Longyou |

I arrived here on the 2nd of the May Day holiday in 2019. There were a lot of tourists. The trail down the crater was crowded with people, and the rocks around the crater were full of people, so it is better to avoid the peak period to feel the good mood of tourism. It is better to walk from the entrance of the tourist bus on the roadside to the gate of the scenic spot. Along the way, the wooden plank road is full of flowers and butterflies are flying.

By Wang.N |

A must-see attraction on Weizhou Island, this is the place with a 98 ticket. The geological features are very unique and the walking distance is long, so remember to wear shoes that fit.

By iSTONE_S |

It's OK, but it's too rushed. The child's feet are uncomfortable, and I have to carry the child up and down the mountain. The weather in August is hot... Overall it's OK

By Purple Feather |

It was already evening when we got there, and it became dark soon after, so we didn't get to see the so-called Maldives of China.

By yangpal |

The volcanic landform is worth a visit to see the natural scenery and enjoy the sea breeze.

By Curry Cody |

The scenery is nice, and the trail from the ticket gate to the scenic area is not long, but it is more comfortable to spend 20 yuan on a sightseeing bus in the scorching sun to save some energy.

By China-TravelNote users |

We arrived at around 4pm on the first day, and went again at noon the next day. We went to this attraction twice, and it was beautiful without any filter.

By Blue Moon V Sorrow |

Crocodile Mountain is the largest scenic spot in the entire Weizhou Island. There are many volcanic stone ruins. The crater is now underwater and cannot be seen~

By Year of Ai |

I rode an electric bike to the bottom of the scenic area, but was not allowed to enter. They forced me to climb the mountain in the hot weather or go down to the tourist center to take a sightseeing bus! They are really trying to collect money! The sea is not as blue as Thailand, and they charge 5 yuan for parking electric bikes everywhere. I will never come to a place like Weizhou Island again!

By Happy Lynn |

The scenery is beautiful and the recommended playing time is 3 hours.

By Wood source |

Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area is the core scenic area of Weizhou Island Volcano National Geopark. The towering lighthouse is the symbol of this place. Go down the steps from the mountain, pass Tanggong Rock, and reach the crater scenic area by the sea. This is the scenery after the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth, the dry sea and the crumbling of the rocks...

By silver |

It is the Weizhou Island National Geopark, also called Crocodile Mountain Park. The ticket you get when you pay the island entrance fee can be used as the entrance fee. However, there is a distance from the park entrance to the first scenic spot, so you need to make a choice, either walk or pay 20 yuan/person to take the battery car.

By Jambo Liu |

This attraction is included in the ticket to the island and is valid for three days. You can see the lighthouse and the magnificent scenery left after the volcanic eruption. The sea water here is very clear and you can see the seabed in the shallows (it may not be possible on cloudy days)

By Taotao |

You will be forced to take "free photos" at the crater, and you are almost forced to spend money when you receive them. This is a bit like the underwater world, and you need to work hard on the tourism experience. The scenery itself is beautiful, with red or black volcanic rocks and blue water. You have to sigh that this is the work of nature.

By Nan Nan talks to himself |

Crocodile Mountain is a place I want to visit again. Under the night, it is mysterious and beautiful~

This kind of peaceful beauty is hard to experience.

By Blue Bones |

I had no expectations for the Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area.

Plus we didn't buy sightseeing tickets to go in

I'm really unhappy

But from the mountain down to the seaside

That sea is so healing.

No filters or color correction at all

The most transparent color on the entire island, paired with red volcanic rocks

Everyone must buy sightseeing bus tickets!

By Qingyun Yixiao |

The characteristic of the whole scenic area is the sea erosion landform landscape formed by volcanoes. There are attractions such as Crocodile Mountain Lighthouse, Crater, Turtle Cave, Thief Cave, Hundred Beasts in the Sea, and Sea Arch Bridge.

By Xiaowen |

Natural scenery, nature is really amazing

By Second rate kid |

I took a boat from Beihai Wharf and it cost 150 yuan. I had to pay 98 yuan for the ticket to the island. I hadn't experienced other pitfalls yet. I encountered a big pitfall right after I got here. The seafood and restaurants... It was so pitfall that I vomited blood...

By Go to bed early |

Nanwan is a volcanic crater. These are all magma, which is very unique.

By man, |

If you have been to an island, don't come here to suffer. This island is really full of people who are trying to rip you off. Everything is expensive, ridiculously expensive. The point is that every attraction is similar. You will be even more speechless if you go there. A tricycle is 30 yuan for a short distance, and an electric car is 80 yuan a day. Boiled pork slices for dinner are 88 yuan, and fried noodles are just instant noodles for 20 yuan, which are unpalatable.

An island should be a very simple place. When you get off the bus, there are people asking you for money everywhere. I don't want to pay attention to these unruly people. The government doesn't care at all. I have traveled to so many places, and this is really several times more expensive than Sanya. That's why everyone likes to travel abroad. At least it's not so bad abroad. There are people asking for money at any time.

To all my friends who love traveling, I sincerely tell you that anywhere is better than here. Why come here and spend a lot of money and suffer? We spent 4,000 yuan for 3 adults and a child. Can you imagine that? We didn't spend a lot of money, didn't stay in a nice place, and didn't eat very well. It's really worse to go around the island than to do it. People who do go around the island will dislike it even more. Most of those who think it's fun have never been to an island.

By Archie |

Check in at the lighthouse. A 5A scenic spot is being built here. It is very clean and is one of the must-see scenery on Weizhou Island. The scenic spot is entered by a tram along a small path. In addition to the steep road, which tests driving skills, it is still closer than walking on the main road. There are many steps to walk, so it is necessary to prepare a pair of comfortable walking shoes. For example, I just wore a pair of slippers and ended up with sore toes~ "Falling in love with Weizhou" probably means this~ The cleaners here have a very hard time. They have to go deep into the fence to pick up the garbage and some dead branches and leaves thrown by tourists. The weather is hot and the reefs are slippery. It is very hard! So tourists really don't litter casually. The trash cans are also relatively close to each other. It's just a piece of cake for us, and it's also reasonable~

By Full of money |

The wonders of nature, with the sea, mountains and scenery, are worth the price of admission if you go there.

By Clear weather |

I felt like I was going to climb a mountain hahahaha… so tired… I originally thought the crater was huge, but when I got there I realized it was actually very small, and most of the space was spent looking at rocks

By Ying Ying Ying |

The navigation took me to the Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park Visitor Center. After parking my car for free, I went into the lobby to ask how to get there. The staff told me that I needed to take a sightseeing bus to the entrance of the scenic area. The ticket was 20 yuan per person for round trip. They said that electric vehicles could not enter. By the way, there were free lockers in the lobby. Then I bought two tickets and took the bus in.

Later I found out that you can actually ride an electric bike in, but there is a fixed place to keep the bikes, and then walk about a kilometer to the entrance of the scenic area, and take a sightseeing bus directly to the entrance. You need to check your ticket before you can enter, so remember to bring your ticket to the island

It takes about an hour and a half to walk to Crocodile Mountain. The road here is a bit difficult to walk, so it is recommended to wear flat shoes.

Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park is a must-visit place when visiting Weizhou Island. If you don't come here, you will have come to Weizhou Island in vain.

From the lighthouse, follow the wooden stairs on the left to the bottom of the mountain, and you can see the remains of the Crocodile Mountain Crater.

The jagged volcanic landforms have been eroded by the sea for a long time to form the current wonders. One can't help but sigh at the uncanny carving of nature.

By * miny * |

The road to the geological park is a long uphill road. Cars are not allowed to go up, so you have to walk. It's tiring~~ The ecological environment here is well protected, and many small creatures were found along the way. The sea water here is very clear.

By The kid's chatter |

The scenic area here is quite large, with many climbs and descents, so we take a separate day to visit it, and if we are short on time, half a day will be enough.

It takes about ten minutes to walk from Dishuidanping to here.

You need to check your ticket at the scenic spot. You can't ride a bike in. If there are elderly people at home, it is recommended to take the scenic sightseeing bus, because it takes about 20 to 30 minutes to walk from the entrance to the scenic spot, but you will have to queue up for the bus on the way back. . Many children who have just learned to walk were brought in by their parents. They are very cute, and they walk with a kick.

Walk along the plank road to the scenic lighthouse, then go downhill to the coast.

[Note] The reef at the bottom of the slope is bumpy and it is easy for your feet to kick against the protruding reef. I got kicked and broke my foot. After that, I limped up the slope barefoot, but the road surface was very hot.

By Zhang Xiaoyu is on the road |

Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area is easy to walk, with trails all along the way, and it takes about 2 hours to finish the tour. The public service facilities in the scenic area are good, with many toilets and they are clean.

By goldfish |

Take a tourist bus up the mountain, round trip 20rmb/person.

It'll be there in about 10 minutes.

There are many Leucaena trees on the mountain.

The scenery at Crocodile Hill is very beautiful, with blue sea and blue sky.

Be sure to bring a big hat! It's a great sun protection tool.

Crocodile Hill Park is really beautiful, the plank road is well built, but some places are not suitable for swimming, you must wear shoes, there are many coral rocks,

At noon, when I was preparing to return, I truly felt that the National Day had come. I waited for half an hour before I could get on the bus.

By Cindy |

Popular scenic spots are concentrated in this area, including Shiluokou Beach, Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park and Dishui Danping. The most amazing one is Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park. The Moon Bay Coastal Plank Road is so beautiful. You can't ride an electric donkey into this scenic spot, so we walked a lot that day.

You need your ID card and island ticket to enter Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park. You need to walk a long plank road to get to Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park. The sea water poured into the gully formed by the lava flow during the volcanic eruption, and the bottom was clear. At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the color of the sea began to change. The tour route here is very well built, and it is no wonder that the tickets and boat tickets are expensive.

By wlf |

I came here during the National Day holiday. It was cool and comfortable at night. The environment is good, not commercialized, clean, and the sea water is quite clean.

Route: Shili Silver Beach - Old Street - Weizhou Island

We rented a donkey the night before, and rode it the whole next day to travel around the whole Weizhou Island. Otherwise, it would be very inconvenient to walk. There are only electric cars and buses. You need to buy a card in advance for the bus. The price of the electric car is more than 20 yuan. If you don't know how to bargain, you will be cut. The bad thing is that when you are close to a scenic spot, the car cannot drive in. The local old lady will charge you 5 yuan for the parking fee of the donkey. If you don't pay, you won't be allowed to park. If you stay a little longer, she will say all kinds of things about you young people who don't know how to adapt. If we say one more word in return, she will start to scold us, saying all kinds of ugly, embarrassing, and low-quality.

The scenery is good, very suitable for walking and stopping.

By Curious Cat |

I swipe my ID card to enter, and I feel that the paper ticket is useless~

One-way tour... There is a shuttle bus at the geological sign, I don't know if it costs money~ There are many people from the sign entrance to the park entrance...

We went there in the morning. It was so hot that we had no energy to take pictures. We just wanted to finish the journey as quickly as possible. However, the scenery was still beautiful.

You have to park your car in advance before entering. There are two options: one is to take his sightseeing bus (20 yuan per person, round trip included, only to the entrance of the scenic area), and the other is to park your own scooter, pay 5 yuan for parking, and walk to the scenic area. There is a 1.5-kilometer pedestrian bridge. I would like to emphasize here that I strongly recommend you to take the sightseeing bus up the mountain. We regretted it so much, because our feet were weak and hot anyway. You need tickets to Weizhou Island for this place, so be sure to bring tickets to Weizhou Island! There are also various check-ins inside. The scenery is really beautiful, but it is too hot and the ultraviolet rays are not strong. There are many broken corals on the volcanic rocks, and the sea water is really beautiful and clear! You still have to walk 1.5 kilometers down the mountain,

Walking through the dense forest plank road, maybe it was too early, there were few tourists, and the slippery road surface left our lonely reflection. Mosquitoes and flies were rampant in the rainforest, and short clothes and skirts just became their mobile dining tables. After a while, they were covered with red envelopes, scratching all the way, and had no time to see the scenery. I took a look at the lighthouse, the ancient artillery, and so on and ran away, but the road built with blocks condensed from the corpses of coral polyps made me stop for a long time. Along the way, I saw these blocks everywhere, and some people worried that this species would become extinct in the long run. Finally, I went down to the beach, and with the sea breeze blowing, I was finally not bitten by mosquitoes. It is said that it is best to go to the Weizhou Island Crater Geopark when it is windy, and the feeling of the stormy waves will make people never forget it. Obviously, I will not have such a scene today.

It was the first time that I felt the remains of the volcanic eruption so closely. Although it had been thousands of years, the twisted brown-red, gray-black rock and soil still made me feel terrified. Touching this land of various shapes and shapes, I seemed to still feel its temperature and the ice and fire that had once existed.

The electric scooter can only be parked at the entrance of the scenic area, and it takes about fifteen minutes to walk to the ticket gate. You can also choose to take the scenic area sightseeing bus, which costs 20 yuan per person.

The lighthouse is a landmark building and the most well-known attraction on Weizhou Island, probably because it carries elements such as "crater" and "love in Weizhou". First go down the steps and turn around to reach the wooden plank trail. Here you can see a large number of exposed rocks, and the sea water splashes out waves, making a splashing sound~

I will never come to this island again, nor will I recommend it to my friends. Many people have mentioned the problems I encountered before. No matter where you go on the island, you will encounter two words: "asking for money". 1. The volcano park can drive to the entrance of the scenic area and then park. There are artificial barriers 2 kilometers away. No vehicles other than scenic area vehicles are allowed to enter. The attitude is bad. You either buy a scenic area ticket or pay the battery car storage fee to the locals, and then walk nearly 2 kilometers to the entrance of the scenic area. This 2 kilometers is a toll set up specifically for collecting money without regard for the feelings of tourists. The same is true for other places that can be called attractions, such as the Catholic Church. There are people guarding the intersections leading to the church, not allowing tourists to enter with battery cars. You either take the scenic area bus or let the locals collect the battery car protection fee, and then walk to the destination; 2. Buying seafood is short of weight, and the final price will not be cheaper than eating in other places; 3. Wherever the battery car is parked, locals will immediately come up to ask for money, and also ask for tolls. For a person like me who is tolerant, it is also the first time that I have the understanding that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. Some areas have nice views, but they are not good enough to make a special trip to come here. I suggest those who like to play in the sea go to Xiamen and Sanya. If this place is left alone, the customs will only get worse. I hope that people who come to play in the future will check the comments of netizens online in advance. In fact, many people have encountered the pitfalls you encountered. If you plan to come here to play, it is good to get a vaccination in advance and be mentally prepared.

Crocodile Mountain Park can be entered with the island ticket. This attraction is a must-see for the whole family. The large number of tourists gathered in the scenic area will reduce the quality of the tour experience. A staircase up the mountain can consume a lot of your physical strength. In this hot weather, basically one round trip makes tourists sweat.

If you have plenty of time on the island, you can visit here and see the bizarre shapes of the volcanic lava. If you are short on time, it is not recommended to count the number of people at this attraction.

I don’t think this park is important to me. Some people like it, but some people find it boring. Everyone has their own preferences.

Weizhou Island is the youngest volcanic island in China. Tickets must be bought to go to the island, and tickets must be checked at the Crocodile Island Volcanic Geological Park. Tickets are not required for other attractions. The entrance to the scenic area is on the mountain. It takes a long time to walk up along the plank road. It is recommended to take the scenic area battery car to the mountain. It costs 30 yuan to go back and forth. Because we didn't know, we were stopped by the villagers to collect the battery car parking fee. We were told to go up along the plank road. We thought it was the entrance to the scenic area, so we started climbing. As a result, we didn't reach the ticket check place for a long time. I was really doubting my life. Finally, I found out that there were several plank roads going up the mountain. We didn't go to the main gate, so we didn't know that there was an electric car to send us to the door. After entering the scenic area, we started the journey up and down the mountain. The child couldn't walk anymore. He kept cheering and encouraging all the way. No wonder he said he would play for 3-4 hours. If I didn't want to popularize volcanic geological landforms and sea erosion rocks for my children, I really didn't want to come in the summer.

The scenery is beautiful and you must go, the key scenic spot of Weizhou Island

By Lazy Pig |

Let me start with some comments about the 20 yuan battery car ride. We didn't take the battery car, nor did we come in from the main gate. Instead, we drove the electric car up from the small road near Dishui Danping. We couldn't go any further at the end of the road. We kept the electric car for 5 yuan and walked to the main entrance of the scenic area for 5 minutes. We walked on the plank road. We also went down the mountain to the small road to get the electric car back. Not only did we save the 20 yuan battery car fee, but we also saved the time waiting for the battery car. There were villagers selling old popsicles on the road for 5 yuan each. Crocodile Mountain is a must-visit, it's really beautiful! But it's also very sunny. You have to go down the mountain road to the seaside plank road first, and then go up the mountain. It's a one-way road in one direction.

It's not particularly recommended because it's a long way to go, but there are sightseeing buses, so it's okay!

Some guides say that you can walk to the entrance in more than 10 minutes, saving the 20 yuan per person sightseeing bus fare. What I want to say is that if you don't want to experience the feeling of being under the scorching sun and sweating like rain, it's easier to take a car, not to mention that the road in the park is still long. Because of its status as a geological park, Crocodile Mountain Park is laid out around the theme of volcanoes and sea erosion, mixed with some humanities introductions. After walking around, in addition to increasing knowledge, it seems that the color of my skin has become darker.

Crocodile Hill Park is very sunny (very sunny, bring water, and remember to bring your ID card and ticket)

If you want to climb the mountain, you need to park your electric donkey at the first gate when you enter the scenic area, buy a round-trip ticket, and you can't ride any further. Just go up to the top of the mountain, and you will reach the ticket gate. It's not very far, but it's too hot.

We didn't buy sightseeing tickets for the scenic area, and walked for a long time before reaching the ticket gate. Friends who have read the guide must remember to buy round-trip sightseeing bus tickets

Comment: (My perspective) I went there in August, it was too hot. I took a small bus to the entrance of the scenic area. After entering, there were green trees all the way to the seaside~the crater, beautiful reefs. It only took two or three hours. The water vending machine usually costs 10 yuan per bottle.

Beihai is really beautiful. Remember to bring sunscreen before going there, as the ultraviolet rays are too strong.

By Little thing 27 |

When you arrive at the ticket hall of the Geopark, you can choose to walk to the scenic area or buy a ticket and take a shuttle bus. There are beverage vending machines everywhere.

This is my favorite place on Weizhou Island. If you want to see its beauty, you need to walk up a long flight of stairs. But when you reach the crater, it is worth it. The clear sea water + the weather was cloudy when I went there, and it was extremely comfortable. If you go to Weizhou Island but don’t check in at the Volcano Park, it’s like going to Weizhou Island in vain.

By Yeyeyeyeyeye |

It really felt like I was at a market, because I only had less than an hour and a half, and basically I just looked around and stopped to take photos, and I couldn't stop to appreciate the beautiful scenery, and I didn't marvel at the traces left by the volcano... The beach here is very open, the water is clear, and because of the wind and the sea waves are also very big, the waves hit the reefs and splashed white waves on my face, which was cool...

Special volcanic magma rock ~ young volcanic island ~

By China-TravelNote users |

Remember to bring your ID card and island ticket (i.e. Crocodile Hill Park ticket), which is the only attraction on the island that requires a ticket. The scenic area includes: Crocodile Hill Lighthouse, Crater Ruins, Dragon Palace Exploration, Turtle Cave, Sea Arch Bridge, Moon Bay, Coral Sedimentary Rock, Moon Square and other attractions. There are also geological wonders such as volcanic bomb impact craters, ancient tree fossils, water curtain caves, sea erosion columns, and sea erosion piers. Here you can see the most complete remains of volcanic activity, which makes people sigh at the uncanny workmanship of nature. Suggested tour duration: 3 hours (if possible, you still have to go early, it was close to noon when we were playing, and there were many people).

The sea in the volcanic geological park is a different scene, with a different kind of grandeur. The route to the scenic spot is not very long, but the route shown on the ticket is winding and feels very long.

Because the Crocodile Mountain Scenic Spot wants to make malicious profits, any vehicle must park one kilometer away from the scenic spot, and then walk one kilometer or choose their tour bus for 20 yuan per trip, 40 yuan per person for round trip. It is strongly recommended to walk to the scenic spot. Gaode Map tells us that it is really only 983 meters away.

The road at the beach is slippery, so be careful when walking!

There are so many cacti on the island.

I really like the clear sea water, it makes me feel relaxed from the bottom of my heart

The fishing boats returning from fishing early in the morning slowly opened up this peaceful beach.

It takes about 2 hours to visit the entire scenic area.

The landscape inside is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated

The sea water is very refreshing. For some reason I want to take you to a tropical island. Hahahaha

I never thought this was a volcano. I guess it’s a dead volcano now. . .

This attraction is mainly for viewing volcanic rocks of various shapes, where the sea and sky meet and the waves beat, which is very spectacular. It is very nice to take pictures.

If you don't visit Crocodile Mountain Park when you go to Weizhou Island, it's like you've come to Weizhou Island in vain.

By Paradox0305 |

You need to enter the island to enter. I feel that this attraction is average. It may be more fun to wait for the water to cover the boardwalk in the evening when the tide rises. You can also see the scene of volcanic rocks dripping water here, and the dripping Danping next to it is similar.

At noon on July 28, I took a nice nap, got up at 15:30, and took a bus to Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park (remember to bring your ticket and ID card. I didn't bring my ID card, but they let me in). It's a worthwhile attraction, with clear water, high waves, and beautiful scenery. In many places, you will get your pants wet if you are not careful. You walk fast and finish the tour in two hours.
