🌟 Getting to the Island
: Take a taxi and navigate to "Xiaoqigang Pier" to board the boat
🎫: Adults 98 RMB/person, students half price
(Remember to buy tickets online at least one hour in advance; you can also buy at the tourist center and board immediately)
⏰: 8:00 AM–5:30 PM, boarding stops at 5:00 PM, the last boat back from Xidao Island is at 7:00 PM (boat ride takes about 20 minutes)

🌟 Tour Route
1️⃣ Seaside Bathing Beach (p5, p6 Turn left after exiting the pier to see it)
2️⃣ Crooked Neck Tree (p2 Right next to the Seaside Bathing Beach, there are two trees for photos)
3️⃣ Coral Wall (p3, p4 After taking photos at the Crooked Neck Tree, walk along the coast until you see a group of girls sitting on it)
4️⃣ Road Leading to the Sea (p14 Personally, not that great for photos, busy intersection with lots of people)
5️⃣ Xidao Island Heart-Shaped Color Wall (p7 Walk along the coast until you see a long line of people)

🌟 Tips for the Trip
🔹 Definitely, definitely wear sunscreen!!! You will get sunburned!!!
🔹 Wear flip-flops!! Wear flip-flops!! Wear flip-flops!!
🔹 Recommend renting a small electric scooter for easier travel, about 30 RMB!
🔹 My bestie and I don’t know how to ride scooters, so we took a sightseeing vehicle driven by locals, 50 RMB for two people, hop on and off as you please.
