Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day in September are both good times to visit Weizhou Island! September happens to be the fishing season of Weizhou Island. There are many fishermen fishing for seafood in the seaside port. If you go to play now, you can taste the freshest seafood. Next, let's look at all the food, shelter and transportation information needed for a holiday in Weizhou Island.

Travel time:
March-June is the best, with the best scenery, the best fun, the crowds are not crowded, and it is convenient to buy tickets and stay.
July-August is the most popular month. You can dive in the sea, but the weather is hot and there are many typhoons. But the scenery of Weizhou Island is also the most beautiful during this time!
the weather is slightly cool from September to October, especially in October, when the temperature difference between morning and evening is large.

The timetable is about one hour from 8: 31 a.m. to 7: 31 p.m.
Tips:
I can buy the tickets a few days in advance, but I bought the tickets together when I bought them, and I bought all the round-trip tickets, otherwise there would be no tickets!
After disembarking from Weizhou Island Wharf, there will be a very long corridor, and then you can go to the place where you bought the tickets for going to the island, and then you can directly check the tickets and enter the island. After checking the tickets, go straight ahead and there will be a big parking lot, which basically stops at sightseeing bus and electric tricycles.
As mentioned in front of the tickets for going to the island, you must buy tickets for going to the island. The adult ticket is 1.21 yuan/person, so you can buy a boat ticket directly on the island. Just be careful not to be cheated, and it won't take long to buy it on the island.

Accommodation selection
The red dot area is highly developed, and the hotels and inns are crowded with fishermen's music and tourists.
The orange area is moderately developed, with appropriate accommodation capacity and few tourists.
The green area is poorly developed, with primitive scenery, few hotels and fishermen's music and few tourists. It is very suitable for vacation and leisure.
The main reference for choosing standard accommodation is the distance from the sea and the vicinity.
Accommodation types are mainly affordable fisherman Lehe B&B Inn, seaside beach cabins, star-rated luxury hotels and youth hostels.
the price of a single room is 111-both in 411 yuan.
Tips:
If you want to see the sunrise, it's near Shell Beach and Rainbow Beach, and if you want to see the sunset, it's at Shiluokou and Dishuidan Screen, which is relatively expensive. Or you can choose to be near the Catholic Church and South Street, where there are many online celebrity shops. I live near Shiluokou, which is very convenient. I don't have that kind of remote feeling, just opposite the passenger station.
There are some hostels that are very suitable for taking photos. If you have enough time, you can visit them. For example, in July, Sheila's wooden house, Wild Island, Langgu Village, Qingyi Ancient Residence, from midsummer to cool autumn, a peaceful corner, a farewell party, a 271-degree sunset seascape castle (very close to the sunset cliff), and many more. Transportation on the island
There are three kinds of transportation on the island: (all of them are rented)
This type of transportation is suitable for family trips, elderly people with children, etc., but the prerequisite is to be able to drive this car, which is a bit like driving an electric tricycle around the island in sightseeing bus.
It is suitable for passengers who can't drive, and it is also suitable for tourists who are afraid of the sun. This is also quite convenient.
If you rent a battery car, it is probably the choice of most people. It is affordable and free. You can go wherever you want, but only if you can drive. Weizhou Island has many places and ramps, so you should pay attention to safety when driving a battery car.
Tips:
I still think it is more convenient to rent an electric car if I can ride it. I can travel around the island and pat on the road. However, if you go to a scenic spot, someone usually charges at the parking spot, and 5 yuan has one, unless you know how to get to the path. Island food
Seafood market First of all, regarding the purchase of seafood, it is basically in Nanwan market. There are two seafood markets in Nanwan, one is big and the other is small. I have never been to the small one, and I basically go to the big one because there are many varieties to consider and the price will be more. As for the purchase of other vegetables, it is also next to the Nanwan seafood market, and there is a special vegetable market. The types are basically daily vegetables, and the price is slightly more expensive.
Buy seafood/vegetables and come back to the inn for processing (most people's choice is that the inn provides processing, but only a few inns don't)
Buy seafood/vegetables and process them in an out-of-town restaurant, which is similar to the first one, but it is estimated that the processing fee will be more expensive
Eat them in an out-of-town restaurant (I don't recommend this personally, because of course, seafood is the freshest in the market. And it's not that expensive) Introduction to the scenic spots on the island:
Besides visiting the scenic spots on the island, there are many activities to play, such as fishing in the sea, snorkeling, catching the sea, roasting chickens, throwing fireworks at night, beach biking, sailing, and now a new project, yacht towing umbrella, is launched. If you like excitement, you can try it.
About the scenic spots on the island
Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park
The scenic spots are the most concentrated. You can only visit the island once within 48 hours. Be sure to bring your ID card and tickets, because the real person system was adopted, and I didn't know when I went, so I used my quick wits to get Alipay's real person certification. Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park can play for a day, mainly because it is so beautiful, the sea is crystal clear, the sky is blue, and every place wants to pat.
The only scenic spot on the ticket requires a second ticket check, so remember to bring the ticket to the island when you go to Crocodile Mountain Park.
It takes at least 2 hours to play, so it takes a lot of energy to climb up and down the stairs.
The three scenic spots, Dishui Danping, Shell Beach, Shiluokou and Rainbow Beach
are mainly beaches, with Shell Beach watching the sunrise, Dishui Danping and Shiluokou watching the sunset. Another feature of the drip screen is that there is a large green plant forming a green screen, and a drop of water drops falls from the rock wall like a string of beads. There are various activities on the beach, such as beach motorbike, motorboat, snorkeling and so on. Rainbow Beach is beautiful at low tide, especially on sunny days, when the sun shines brightly.
Originally known as Dishuiyan, the upper part of the cliff is shaded by trees, and the cracks between the upper layers of the wall often overflow with water, dripping down a little bit, such as hanging beads.
Sunset is one of the best places to enjoy the sunset on the sea. If you want to watch the sunset, it is usually around 7 o'clock in summer and around 6 o'clock in winter. Whether you can see the sunset like a flaming cloud depends on your luck.
Nanwan Street
This is Weizhou Island's commercial center, seafood market, fruit and vegetable market, various dessert shops, various restaurants, small restaurants, various grocery stores and so on. It should be noted that the fishing season is closed from May to August every year, so the price of seafood will rise, and the price of seafood will fluctuate with the income from fishing in the sea. The price is cheaper if many people go to sea. The fence of Nanwan Street is a good photo spot, and it was shot into a large film carelessly.
Processing mode At present, eating on the island is basically a processing mode with imported materials, that is, tourists go to the market to buy fresh food on the same day, and then an inn or restaurant processes it for them. The processing fee is 11-one dish in 21 yuan. Of course, if you don't want to buy food, you can go to a restaurant to order food, but the cost performance may not be as cost-effective as buying it yourself and then processing it.
Seafood price The seafood in Weizhou Island is the current price, and the price fluctuates greatly due to the weather, sometimes it is very cheap and sometimes it is a little expensive. In the weather, many fishermen went out to sea to fish, and the harvest was good. There were many seafood on that day, and the price was cheap. If the weather is bad, such as windy, there will be fewer fishermen going out to sea, and there will be less seafood on that day, so the price will be higher. However, like scallops in shellfish, the price fluctuation of crabs and shrimps is the biggest.
fishermen's return time fishermen go out to sea to fish every day and return at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Note that the bus driver said that the market is often short of two pounds, so it is suggested to weigh it fairly. Tips: approximate price and practice
Scallops and flower shells are 11 yuan/kg. Scallops should be as big as possible, and the meat is also delicious. Scallops are usually steamed with garlic. Flower armor is usually stir-fried
abalone 3-5 yuan/piece, which can be steamed with garlic or stir-fried.
2-3 yuan/oyster (cultured relatively small, with thin sharp shell), 5-7 yuan/oyster (wild stone-like guests are thick, also called stone oysters, with yolk-like paste in them, which is delicious, and it is recommended to try this when you come to Weizhou Island); The practice is to steam garlic.
squid 25-35 yuan/kg, which can be boiled or stir-fried with pepper.
prawn 51-71 yuan/kg. The prawn in October-February is very big, really big, as big as the palm of your hand, and the meat is very firm. It is usually boiled and original.
Pipi Shrimp 31-81 yuan/kg is highly recommended. It is delicious whether it is boiled and sweet or crispy with salt and pepper. It is a bit difficult and laborious for people who don't eat it often.
Blue-flowered crab is 31-81 yuan/kg. There are several common crabs in Weizhou Island, but it is recommended to eat crabs, which are wild and have fresh and sweet meat. The method can be steamed or stir-fried with ginger and onion.

Grouper is 45-51 yuan/kg, and there are no small bones. It is all meat, which is suitable for the elderly and children. It can be steamed or braised.
Catholic Church, Notre Dame Cathedral
European Gothic architecture, the Catholic Church has a choir every afternoon around one o'clock, and there is a beautiful flower wall in it. Many people come here to take pictures. Notre Dame Cathedral is relatively small, so it's ok to visit it if you want. If you don't have enough time, there's no need to go.
setting sun island
is a small island not far from the outlying islands, and you can go there by speedboat. If the weather is good, whales can often be seen, and you can snorkel and fish in the sea here. It is said that there are so many fish that even people who can't fish can return home full of food.
Highway around the island, banana forest and grass
If you ride a small electric bike, there are still many beautiful scenery to take pictures along the way. When there are few people, you can take pictures on the highway, and you can also get into the banana forest on the roadside. It is also beautiful to take pictures on the grass when the weather is clear and the sky is blue.
Blue Bridge
I don't know if we can get on the bridge now, but we didn't get on it when we went. The afternoon I went there was beautiful, probably very pure and blue, which can't be expressed in words. This is the most beautiful sea I have ever seen in China, and it is also the place that surprises me most except the sunset cliff. The sand here is very soft. When you step on it, the sea water will come up slowly, and the sand will lose its instep. It's a pity that I put on socks on the day I went, so I couldn't play in the water. ?
