3 Days 2 Nights Healing Trip on Weizhou Islandπ 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~
π’ 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.
ποΈ My Treasure Itinerary:
Day1: Arrive at Weizhou Island β Check into homestay β Rent electric bike for island tour β Sunset at Shiluokou Beach (super soft sand!)
Day2: Sunrise at Colorful Beach β Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park (need scenic area shuttle ticket) β Nanwan Street Seafood Market (freshest at 3pm when fishing boats return)
Day3: Dripping Water Danping β Our Lady Chapel β Shell collecting at Shell Beach β Return trip
π
 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.
π¦ Food Recommendations:
β’ Hao You Hui: 20 yuan per dozen oysters, plump and fresh
β’ Shi Lu: Recommended seafood fried rice and salt-pepper mantis shrimp
β’ Banana Chicken: Island specialty free-range chicken roasted in banana leaves
β’ Qiqi's Dessert Shop: Amazing double-layer milk pudding and taro balls
π‘ Accommodation Tips:
β’ Stay near Colorful Beach for sunrise views, Shiluokou for sunset
β’ Recommend Nanwan Street for convenient dining and seafood shopping
β’ Off-season sea view rooms from 200+ yuan - perfect for enjoying sea breeze on balcony after island tour
π‘ 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~
