📩 Essential tips for moms! Weizhou Island family travel Tips~
🌟 Weather on Weizhou Island is crucial! When the weather is good, the sea is beautiful and the fun is guaranteed; bad weather really affects the experience, so be sure to check the forecast before you go~
🌟 Shiluokou Beach has a lot of gravel, and Colorful Beach’s surface is slippery, so be sure to bring non-slip shoes or sandals for both kids and yourself to avoid discomfort or slipping~
🌟 Prices on the island are higher than in Beihai city, so it’s recommended to bring some snacks and water, especially the kids’ favorites, to avoid expensive purchases later~
🌟 There is no public transportation on the island, making it inconvenient to travel with kids; it’s best to join a tour group or rent a car, tours are more worry-free and convenient~
🌟 For moms who don’t want to plan or couldn’t get island tickets, just join a local small group! They offer airport pickup, and arrange all attractions and accommodation, so you don’t have to worry about anything~
