3 Days 2 Nights Healing Trip on Weizhou Island🌊 This volcanic island is truly the white moonlight in my heart! Not overly commercialized, it retains the charm of an original fishing village, perfect for zoning out and relaxing~
🚢 Island Access:
Just a 1.5-hour ferry ride from Beihai International Passenger Port. Remember to buy tickets 3 days in advance on "Weizhou Island Ferry Tickets" during peak season! Recommend the 150 yuan Beiyou 25 ferry - super stable with minimal seasickness.
🏖️ My Treasure Itinerary:
Day1: Arrive at Weizhou Island → Check into homestay → Rent electric bike for island tour → Sunset at Shiluokou Beach (super soft sand!)
Day2: Sunrise at Colorful Beach → Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park (need scenic area shuttle ticket) → Nanwan Street Seafood Market (freshest at 3pm when fishing boats return)
Day3: Dripping Water Danping → Our Lady Chapel → Shell collecting at Shell Beach → Return trip
🌅 Must-do Experiences:
Watch sunrise at Colorful Beach - volcanic rocks change color in sunlight! Buy seafood at Nanwan Street to cook at your homestay - the mantis shrimp and flower crabs are huge~ Sunset at wild beaches near Muyai Cliff (currently closed) with fewer crowds and stunning views.
🦞 Food Recommendations:
• Hao You Hui: 20 yuan per dozen oysters, plump and fresh
• Shi Lu: Recommended seafood fried rice and salt-pepper mantis shrimp
• Banana Chicken: Island specialty free-range chicken roasted in banana leaves
• Qiqi's Dessert Shop: Amazing double-layer milk pudding and taro balls
🏡 Accommodation Tips:
• Stay near Colorful Beach for sunrise views, Shiluokou for sunset
• Recommend Nanwan Street for convenient dining and seafood shopping
• Off-season sea view rooms from 200+ yuan - perfect for enjoying sea breeze on balcony after island tour
💡 Practical Advice:
1. Best to rent electric bikes (60 yuan/day) for getting around
2. Sunscreen is a must! Island UV rays are intense
3. Keep island admission ticket handy for Crocodile Mountain scenic area
4. May-October is glass sea season, ideal for diving
5. Buy sea duck eggs at Shengtang Village as souvenirs before departure
Time here feels like it's at 0.5x speed - riding electric bikes chasing sea breezes by day, listening to waves in hammocks after seafood feasts by night. Definitely a healing island I'll revisit countless times~
