Book tickets for the "Princess" ferry at Xiangzhou Port 2 weeks in advance; during peak season tickets sell out instantly! ✅ On the island: Mainly hiking, but some sections allow hotel shuttle buses or shared electric scooters. There is luggage storage at the pier, so traveling light is more comfortable~ 📌 Must-Have List & Pitfall Avoidance Guide ▪️ Gear: Non-slip sports shoes/hiking shoes (key!), trekking poles (optional), mosquito repellent (island mosquitoes are vicious), sun hat + sunglasses + sunscreen (strong UV by the sea) ▪️ Clothing: Quick-dry clothes + light jacket (big temperature difference between morning and evening), bring an extra set of clothes to change (hiking makes you sweat) ▪️ Others: Bring enough drinking water and snacks (few supply points along the way), check the weather in advance and avoid heavy rain days; during peak season, start early to avoid crowds after 10 AM~ You really don’t have to just squeeze onto the beach!
