The sand here is clean and soft, and the cliffs are shaded by verdant trees. Water often overflows from the cracks, dripping down like a curtain of beads. The most beautiful volcanic rock, the basalt, displays a flowing beauty, and even more beautiful is the lush green vines draping down, creating a striking contrast with the water dripping from the rocks.

Day 2 Wucai Beach → Shengtang Catholic Church → Shiluokou
All day
Get up early and head to Wucai Beach to capture the sunrise. Wucai Beach is Weizhou's most scenic sunrise spot, boasting a collection of sea cliffs, platforms, and caves, offering spectacular volcanic sunrises. As the sun rises from the east, the morning light casts a shadow over the layers of volcanic rock and reefs, creating a vibrant contrast against the vibrant colors of the sky and sea, creating a perfect spot for stunning seascapes.
Visit Shengtang Catholic Church to photograph its cultural architecture. A classic example of French Renaissance Gothic architecture, Shengtang Catholic Church is one of the four great Catholic churches of the late Qing Dynasty. The ancient church, untouched by any renovations, is uniquely constructed from coral, rock, and limestone sourced from the island. The surrounding alleys still preserve the original architecture and lifestyle of Weizhou Island, allowing you to experience the slower pace of life on old Weizhou Island. This is a haven for the island's cultural heritage.
In the afternoon, we headed to Shiluokou Beach to photograph the sunset. Located on the western coast of Weizhou Island, Shiluokou Beach boasts clear waters and a wide, thick, soft sand. The setting sun, radiant as cinnabar, dyed the clouds red, cast a purple shadow on the sea, and painted the beach pink, creating a vibrant, dreamlike spectacle.

After lunch, we'll arrive at the pier to board the return boat to Beihai International Port (scheduled departures between 2:30 PM and 3:50 PM, subject to ticket issuance and actual time of day). We'll then proceed to the high-speed rail station or airport for our return trip. This concludes our delightful three-day photography trip to Weizhou Island.
