I sincerely recommend joining a tour group when visiting Weizhou Island in Beihai during the Qingming and May Day holidays

Nowadays, many people prefer independent travel, and I do too, but not only is it tiring, it also requires a lot of research into travel guides beforehand, including booking hotels and attractions. Moreover, during holidays and peak tourist seasons, it's impossible to make reservations, and you end up just lying in a hotel for several days. Therefore, during holidays and peak tourist seasons, joining a local pure-play small tour group is really enjoyable and not very expensive, and they can help you avoid pitfalls! However, when signing up for a tour, you must carefully check the company's business license and such, and not be tempted by low prices! Now, the prices of attractions and hotels are very transparent, and you can easily find out the prices by checking. Definitely avoid choosing options that are obviously too cheap, as no one is doing charity unless they are family or friends. ❣️First-time tips for visiting Beihai 🎬Don't go to the seafood stalls near Yintan Beach to eat seafood. The seafood there is expensive, scarce, and not tasty, which will disappoint you. I suggest going to Qiaogang Style Street, where there are many seafood stalls that are super affordable and delicious. 🎬When processing seafood, be sure to guard against seafood swapping. It's best to take a photo to remember the appearance of the seafood, and make sure to poke a small hole at the bottom of the bag to drain the excess water before weighing. 🎬Don't take private tricycles or motorcycles as these modes of transport have no safety guarantees and you can easily be scammed. Never trust their recommendations for food and hotels. 🎬Before coming to Beihai, be sure to check the weather in advance. If there is heavy rain, it is not recommended to travel, especially to Weizhou Island, as the ferry may be suspended due to heavy rain. 👉Classic 4-day 3-night itinerary in Beihai👈 ✔️Day 1 🫡Join the group in Beihai - pick up from the airport/train - check into a Beihai hotel🧜‍♂ ✔️Day 2 🚗Full-day driver and guide with a private car ➡️ The First Beach in the World·Beihai Silver Beach⛱ (South Pearl Soul Sculpture) ➡️ Beihai Old Street·Arcade Building Group·Haiti Street ➡️ Internet-famous Liuxia Village ➡️ Beibu Gulf Square⛵ ➡️ Check into a Beihai hotel ✔️Day 3 🚢Weizhou Island (including round-trip ferry tickets and island fees) full-day independent travel - (Recommended: Main Landmark Square·Catholic Church·Marine Sports Base·🐊Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park·Dishui Village Dishui Danping) - Stay at a Weizhou Island hotel or guesthouse🏨 ✔️Day 4 Full-day independent travel - (Recommended: Wucailou Beach to watch the sunrise🌄·Shell Beach🏖) - Take the ferry back to Beihai City in the afternoon - Drop off at the airport/train station.
