Day 2 Beihai → Weizhou Island (In-depth tour around the island, shellfish hunting)
All day
Today's Topic: First Impressions of Weizhou | Island Tour
According to your flight schedule, your driver will transfer you to Beihai International Passenger Port (scheduled departures between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM, subject to ticket issuance and actual departure times). Then, board the ferry to Weizhou Island. After setting sail, gaze out the window at the boundless ocean, darting towards freedom. After approximately 1.5 hours, you'll arrive at Weizhou Island, greeted by a soothing sea breeze. As you step onto this volcanic island, ranked second among China's Top Ten Most Beautiful Islands by National Geographic, you'll officially begin your "Island Lifestyle." Your exclusive island butler will be waiting at the dock. We'll be escorted to the hotel for check-in.
After lunch, your butler will guide you on a tour around the island, exploring every hidden corner of Weizhou Island. You'll visit the picturesque Ring Road, the Catholic Church, Shell Beach, the Blue Bridge, and more. Then, you'll visit Dishui Danping, where layers of sea erosion and verdant vines crisscross the landscape. The sand here is clean and soft, stretching from the lighthouse to Shiluokou. In the evening, arrive at Shiluokou Beach, stroll along the soft sand, and enjoy the slow pace of life on the island, waiting for the sunset and the returning fishermen.
If the tide is right at night, the housekeeper will lead everyone to go to the beach to pick up crabs and snails.
Note: Sea-hunting activities are greatly affected by weather and tides. In case of bad weather or high tides, the time of sea-hunting activities will be adjusted or cancelled.
Kind tips:
1. Due to limited passenger ferry resources during some holidays, please book at least 15 days in advance. China-TravelNote will try to book flights on the morning of the same day, but the specific time will be based on ticket issuance.
2. The infrastructure on Weizhou Island is relatively backward, and the accommodation conditions cannot be compared with those on the mainland. Temporary water and power outages may occur.
Day 3 Crocodile Mountain Park → Sunset Sea Fishing
All day
Today's Topic: Sea Fishing at Sunset
After breakfast, we'll depart for Crocodile Hill Park, one of Weizhou Island's main attractions, led by our butler. The diverse volcanic rocks here complement the stunning ocean views. In this crater, formed millions of years ago, we'll experience the grandeur of time and nature. We'll then stroll along the seaside boardwalk to discover Weizhou Island's "End of the World."
The highlight of the trip was our afternoon sea fishing trip. This time, we visited Xiayang Island, a small island just nine nautical miles from Weizhou Island. The island is home to a single village, Xiayang Village, with just over 20 households, who primarily rely on fishing for their livelihood. It feels like a real-life version of the Peach Blossom Spring. We'll visit Niubi Cave, a National Geographic favorite, for snorkeling, cliff fishing, and more. While the conditions are simple, the rewards are truly rewarding.
After about three hours of sightseeing, we returned to Weizhou Island by boat.
Kind tips:
1. [Sunset Sea Fishing] Since sea activities are greatly affected by weather and other special activities, we will flexibly arrange the time according to the weather conditions.
2. The amount of sea fishing you can do is up to you.

We're not making any plans this morning, leaving time for everyone to explore. This island has so much to offer. You can get up early to watch the sunrise at Sunrise Beach, or sleep in naturally.

In the afternoon, we will be sent to the pier in time according to the flight schedule (scheduled flights are from 14:00 to 16:00, subject to ticket issuance time and actual time on the day), ending this pleasant trip to Weizhou Island. After about 1.5 hours, we will arrive at Beihai International Passenger Port and disband.
