Special instructions:
1. Beihai has been the hometown of Nanzhu since ancient times.

Nanzhu Palace, opposite the Underwater World of Chating Road, is the largest state-owned franchise store of Mingzhu, located in Beibu Gulf Middle Road.
When shopping, you should pay attention to shoddy goods, often the outer packaging is beautiful, the outer layer you see is good, but the inside is defective. It is best to open the package when buying.
3. The seafood products in Beihai Aquatic Products Market are good and cheap, so it is the best choice to buy some and take them back as "personal letters". But remember to kill at least half to two-thirds of the price.
Silver beach, a must-see attraction in Beihai.
Located in the southern seashore of Beihai City, it is about 6 kilometers away from the urban area, stretching about 24 kilometers from east to west, with a total beach area of about 38 square kilometers. The sand on the beach is fine quartz sand. Under the sunshine, the white and delicate beach will give off silver light, so it is called silver beach. This is an excellent natural bathing beach, which is famous for its long and flat beaches, fine white beaches, clean water temperature, soft waves, high negative oxygen ions and no sharks. The content of negative oxygen ions in the air is 50 to 1000 times that of big cities. It is known as the "trump card scenic spot" of China tourism and enjoys the reputation of "the first beach in the world".
The scenic spots strolling through Silver Beach are concentrated in the middle of the beach.

The dense pine forest around Sanguan Pavilion makes it more majestic. Standing on the Sanguan Pavilion to watch the sunrise, the sea and the forest are excellent places to go.
Yintan entertainment

Yintan entertainment tips
First, the precautions for swimming:
1. If you go to Silver Beach, you will definitely go swimming in the sea. It is best to bring swimming equipment such as swimsuit, goggles and swimming ring in advance. If it is too troublesome, there are many stalls selling or renting swimming equipment near Yintan, but the prices are not cheap.
2. When swimming, don't go to deep water areas and areas without lifeguards. Don't go too far offshore. Once the wind rises and the tide rises, you should go ashore immediately.
3. Stay away from jet skis when swimming and pay attention to safety.
4. The seaside is sunny and "toxic". After swimming, the skin falls off easily. You should take sunscreen skin care products and pay attention to protection.
Second, special reminder:
1, it should be noted that never find someone to rent or borrow equipment, especially things like jet skis, which may be slaughtered if they are unsafe.
Don't go to the so-called "lover island" by motorboat. Ship owners sometimes blackmail tourists because the ship is broken.

But every seafood restaurant has one or two people coming to meet you on the expressway. You'd better decide which one to go to before talking to them.
Weizhou Island is a must-see attraction in Beihai.
Weizhou Island is the largest island in Guangxi and the largest extinct volcanic island in China. The island is known as the "Great Penglai" fairy island because of its stormy waves, deep caves, beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. The island is located 36 nautical miles southeast of Beihai Peninsula, surrounded by the sea, 65 kilometers long from north to south, 6 kilometers wide from east to west, with the highest elevation of 79 meters.
Volcanic island is rich in landscape resources, with volcanic lava landscape-Zhuziling; It is like a "turtle bow blue" that falls into the sea; Julian's long hanging "dripping Dan screen" dripping screen (the dripping village on the south bank, formerly known as Dishuiyan. The upper part of the cliff is covered by trees, and the cracks between the upper parts of the walls often overflow with water, falling bit by bit, such as hanging bamboo curtains); There are also many reef caves shaped like seals, dolphins and seahorses, which are called the sea of animals, such as fairy caves, thief caves and sheep caves. In addition, the French Catholic Church in Tangsheng Village settled on the island at the end of 19. The building materials of the church are all taken from the corals and rocks on the island, and they are still as strong as ever after a hundred years. There are also historical footprints of Sanlao Temple and Notre Dame, which witnessed the combination of Chinese and western cultures. More than 400 years ago, Tang Xianzu, a famous dramatist in Ming Dynasty, visited this island and wrote a poem "Rizhao Weizhou outline, the wind deviates from the island ocean". In addition, there are various recreational facilities on the island, which is an excellent place for island exploration, sea fishing, shellfish bathing and diving exploration. Weizhou Island is also the best place to watch the oblique panoramic view of the sun on Xieyang Island. Under the sea from Weizhou Island to Xieyang Island, you can also see strange and beautiful underwater ribbons.
Tour tips:
1. It is best to stay for one night and enjoy the charm of the rising sun and the fun of sea activities at night.
You must pay attention to the weather forecast when you go to the island. If you can't sail because of the weather or wind and waves, you will be forced to stay on the island for a few days.
There are no banks in Weizhou Island at present, only rural credit cooperatives. You can't withdraw money by card. Visitors who want to stay on the island for a long time had better prepare more cash.
Recommended route for tour around the island:

Tips:
1. Taking a boat is the only way to Weizhou Island, with few flights. Add 1-2 in the afternoon of peak season. You'd better buy a round-trip ticket in advance. Generally speaking, when the weather is fine, only the clippers can sail. In bad weather, the clippers can't move forward, only slow boats. If the weather is bad, the ships will stop sailing, so you must pay attention to the weather when you go to the island.
2. During the voyage, pay attention to the safety signs on board, the direction of lifeboats and emergency doors, life jackets are generally under the seats, and plastic bags and drugs to prevent seasickness will be prepared on board.
The only way to get to Xieyang Island is to take a boat from Weizhou Island Pier. A speedboat carrying about 10 passengers costs about 500-600 yuan RMB, which can be reached in half an hour. The round-trip cost of taking a fishing boat on the island is about two or three hundred yuan, about one hour. The average speedboat fishing boat can't exceed 10, so don't overload and wear life jackets.
Catering:
The island mainly eats seafood, and vegetables and meat are more expensive than seafood. I suggest you buy your favorite seafood in the vegetable market near the pier and let the people in the food stalls process it. The processing fee is very cheap, and the seafood is the freshest and cheapest when the fishermen unload the ship around 7 am. A few people may not be able to eat 200 yuan.
Accommodation:
Accommodation on the island is average and the price is not expensive. Some hotels, ordinary hotels and fishermen's hotels offer it.
1, Nanyou Hotel (Nanwan Street) and Penglai Hotel (the highest point of Weizhou Island) have relatively good conditions, and the cost is about 100 yuan.
2, fisherman's restaurant, the conditions are average, but the store is warm and simple. Piggy Bar (Nanwan Street. 800 meters from the dock) the atmosphere is good. Ande Hotel (near the ticket office of the wharf) and Golden Bay Hotel (the third floor of Jingang Building of the town government). Prices range from tens of dollars.
Boarding the "Penglai in the South"-Weizhou Island, overlooking the magnificent scenery of sunrise and sunset at sea; Explore the lava wonders and marine landforms left by volcanic eruption 1 10,000 years ago; Diving at the bottom of the sea and watching the dazzling coral bushes are the greatest enjoyment of the trip to the North Sea.
