Date: 20231211-20231212 Where is the boundary between the Pearl River and the South China Sea? It could be Lingdingyang, or the Wanshan Archipelago, or more specifically - the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge? On a moving ship, if you can see this huge bridge on both sides, then, it is also under your feet. Guishan Island is known as the gateway to Wanshan, administratively belonging to Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai City, and we stayed in Guishan Town, Guishan Village. The homestay is on a high place, and the foot of the mountain next to it is Wen Tianxiang Square, I like the look of this national hero with deep hatred. Then walk south along the coastal road, passing through the busiest places on this small island one by one, including the market, the dock, the customs... At dusk, golden light covers the mountains, windmills, and ships on the sea. The sun went down, and we just walked to No. 1 dike, between two lighthouses, one high and one low. In addition to Guishan Village, Guishan Town also has a Guihai Village, which locals call Fisherman's Village and Hakka Village respectively. The triangular land where the two villages meet is the CBD of this town, with several restaurants and shops. On the way to Guishan Ship Memorial Park the next morning, I inadvertently looked back and saw the homestay last night. I saw the green top of the stone in the morning, and I remembered watching the stars at night. This island was originally called Garbage Tail Island. In memory of the soldiers who sacrificed here in the early days of liberation, it was renamed to its current name. The lighthouse on No. 2 dike is red, corresponding to the green of No. 1 dike, guarding the entrance and exit of the island. If there was such a good harbor back then, would the Guishan ship still be sunk? Fortunately, we live in a peaceful era and can eat seafood for two consecutive meals. The seawater here is not the clearest, and the content on the sea surface is complicated: there are many ships coming and going, and there are all kinds of tonnages; you can see Hong Kong, Macau, and Zhuhai; and there is a large row of wind power generator sets. But I think we will come again, to eat delicious and cheap seafood; to see the most complete sunset, the liveliest sea!

Transportation: Book the boat ticket online, the ordinary cabin is 100💰, bring your ID, arrive at Xiangzhou Port Terminal 30 minutes in advance, and you can reach Guishan Island in 50 minutes by boat Check-in point: No.1 Lantern Tower You can see the No.1 Lantern Tower in front of the pier when you arrive at the island. It is a landmark building of Guishan Island, and it is easy to take good photos Cliff Carving Corridor Stroll along the Cliff Carving Corridor about 1 kilometer long, admire the calligraphy and seal carving, super comfortable Guishan Hero Landing Point Go along the Cliff Carving Corridor, you can reach the Guishan Hero Landing Point, and you can visit the Martyrs Monument along the way Wen Tianxiang Square Here, you can learn about the story of Wen Tianxiang Island Road Sunrise🌅Sunset🌄, watch birds fly on the island road, breathe fresh air, feel nature, and take beautiful photos casually Food: The seafood there is very fat and sweet, you can choose the seafood by yourself, take it to the restaurant for processing, it's very delicious!!

🏠Accommodation: Because we were going to Macau, we chose to stay in a hotel near Gongbei Port. In fact, it is very convenient to take a taxi in Zhuhai. If you are not going to Macau, I feel it is more convenient to book a hotel by the sea. Day 1⃣️: Going to Guishan Island as an islander We set off in the morning to Xiangzhou Wharf and took a boat to Guishan Island. 🉑️Follow the Xiangzhou Port public account to get the boat departure time. The ticket price is 1⃣️0⃣️0⃣️ yuan, and it takes about fifty minutes to arrive. If you get seasick, you can stick a seasickness patch half an hour in advance. As a native of Guizhou, I get seasick badly, but luckily there are vomit bags on the boat, and seasickness patches. Guishan Island is not big, you can choose to take a sightseeing car or ride a bicycle. Lazy people are advised to choose a sightseeing car. We returned to Zhuhai by boat in the evening, and when we returned around five and a half, we encountered a super beautiful sunset, but we were already on the boat at that time, so we could only admire it through the glass. It is recommended that friends who go can wait for the sunset and then return after watching. Day 2⃣️: Zhuhai Coastal Bicycle Circuit Tour The scenic spots along the way include Lovers' Middle Road, Love Post Office, Seaside Swimming Field, Zhuhai Fisher Girl, City Balcony, and Sun Moon Shell Grand Theater. 🚴You can rent a shared bicycle for the circuit, stop or continue at any time, freely. You can also choose a sightseeing bus, but I prefer to ride a bicycle. In the afternoon, go to Beishan Mansion to enjoy afternoon tea and lunch. I highly recommend visiting the "Old Things Warehouse" inside, which is very interesting. 🍽️Eat: Because my friend and I are not foodies, we basically eat whatever we encounter on the road. Didn't go out of our way to find. Probably ate the more famous ones: Tuiji Shenji The taste is average. Zhuhai's famous oyster stewed chicken, because I don't eat stewed chicken, so I didn't eat it. 🚗Transportation: Basically, my friend and I took a taxi or Didi Because the last day was a night flight back, I didn't want to drag my luggage around, so I rented a car for a day. The luggage is left in the car, which is very convenient. The car was delivered to the hotel, and the car was returned at the airport, which is very convenient. And the roads in Zhuhai are wide, and driving is quite comfortable. Parking in Zhuhai is also quite convenient, but the parking fee is a bit expensive.

A mountain kid from Guizhou, I really get seasick when I'm on a boat. I wanted to be a happy islander for a day, but in the end, I became a seasick islander. It starts with seasickness and ends with seasickness. ☀️Itinerary: Depart from Xiangzhou Wharf in Zhuhai and return to Zhuhai on the same day. Depart to Xiangzhou Wharf in the morning, 🉑️follow the Xiangzhou Port public account to get the departure time. 🎫The ticket price is about 1⃣️0⃣️0⃣️ yuan, and the journey takes about 50 minutes. If you get seasick like me, you can put on a seasickness patch half an hour in advance, and there are also vomit bags on the boat. Guishan Island is not big, you can choose to take a sightseeing car or ride a bicycle to play, because my friend and I are lazy, so we chose the sightseeing car. There are sightseeing cars and bicycles at the port after getting off the boat. 🧸Tour route: ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 🗼Lighthouse: Located near the pier, you can see it as soon as you get off the boat, and there is a coffee shop next to it. You can have a cup of coffee there after a round and enjoy the sunset. 🏖Dolphin Bay Beach: I had high expectations for the beach before I went, thinking about the sun, beach, drinking coconut water, and all kinds of enjoyment, but the actual experience was: the beach was under maintenance, so I just took a rough look. 🏡Little Fish Village: There is a popular zebra crossing here for photo taking. 🕴Guishan Ship Memorial Park: This is the most beautiful place in the whole journey, don't forget to enjoy it. The seaside plank road is very photogenic. 🏠Accommodation: There are places to stay on the island, but my friend and I chose to return to Zhuhai. In the evening, take a boat back to Zhuhai City. If time permits, I suggest waiting a bit, admiring the beautiful sunset, and then returning. When we left at about five and a half, we encountered the sunset. Unfortunately, we could only enjoy it through the ship's window, but it was still unforgettable. So, if you go to Guishan Island, you might as well wait for the sunset before leaving. Guishan Island may be small, but it also has its unique scenery and experience.

The lighting is good for taking photos in the morning, and my friend said it's like Kamakura. It's also very atmospheric at sunset. Beishan Reservoir To reach the green ladder on the coastline, you need to take a sightseeing car. It's quite sunny during the day, so it's better to come in the morning or evening. Guihai Village, streets of blue and white houses, with a touch of Santorini vibe. Guishan Lighthouse At the place where you disembark, be sure to come here to watch the sunset and evening glow, where you can overlook the city in the twilight. Seaside rocky promenade. Walk from the lighthouse for about five minutes, and there is a beautiful stone cave at the entrance for taking photos. Tips: Accommodation can be chosen on the hillside near Guihai Village. Here the terrain is high, choose a room with a sea view, waking up and seeing the sea in front of the window is also great. In summer, the island is relatively hot and humid. Next spring, the temperature will be just right, but be sure to protect yourself from the sun!

The scenery on Guishan Island is truly healing～ The road to the sea, the cluster of guesthouses in the blue and white town, various seaside cafes, facing the sunset on the beach🌇, and most importantly, there are really few people😌. If you want to spend a quiet island holiday, it's just perfect. 🚢Transport Xiangzhou Port→Guishan Island 50min by boat, 100r How many days to play? If it's one day, it's fine for leisurely watching the sea and strolling around, but for a laid-back leisure time, I recommend 2 days.✌🏻 🔷Tour Route The main attractions on the island are divided into 2 parts: the mountain guesthouse cluster + coastal road. 🔹Guesthouse Cluster You can just walk around, there are slopes and stairs up and down. 'Blue and White Guesthouse Cluster' is located in Guishan Village's Chuangmei Courtyard, 🌸the whole path is decorated with flowers and courtyards, very fresh and clean. 'Daohe Guesthouse' is where we stayed, 🌇right outside there is a viewing platform, great for watching the sea and sunset. 'The Path to the Sea' is Aimin Road, a long slope, great for taking photos.📸 🔹Coastal Road You need to take a local electric cart here, which charges by distance. If you stay in a guesthouse, they will give you a phone number☎, just call for a ride. 'Beishan Reservoir' is incredibly beautiful～ with sea, mountains, and colorful roads. 'Guishan Warship Memorial Park' offers a spectacular view of the sunset over the sea. 🔶Activities 🔸Swimming Beach No.1 is right next to the pier, with a lighthouse and calm waters, many children play here. Dolphin🐬 Beach has more entertainment facilities, jet skis, paddleboards, etc.～ 🔸Sea Foraging You need to check the tide table or ask the shopkeepers. It wasn't suitable for sea foraging during my 2-day visit, but I heard you can have a good catch during the active season. ✅Tips 1. If you're driving, you can park at the pier and then go to the island, overnight parking seems to be 50. 2. You can charter a boat to other small islands for sea foraging and fishing. 3. There are seafood stalls and tea restaurants on the island, with moderate prices, more expensive than Zhuhai, but acceptable.

【Guishan Island, Guangdong】Known as the little Kamakura of Guangdong, Guishan Island offers a truly authentic experience. Here's the most practical travel guide for a two-day, one-night trip! ⏰Tour Time: Two days and one night is more than enough 🚢Transport: Take a boat from Xiangzhou Port in Zhuhai. Search for Xiangzhou Port on the official WeChat account to book tickets in advance. A round trip costs 100 yuan, totaling 200 yuan. You can head there early to take photos on the nearby roads and even see Zhuhai's iconic landmark, the Day and Moon Shell. If you have enough time, you can take a photo with it~ 🏠Accommodation: Guishan Island is small, and the accommodations are all centrally located. For convenience, you can choose a hotel near the pier, which usually costs between two to three hundred yuan per night 🍚Food & Drink: In the morning, you can have some snacks near the pier. Last time we went to a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, and the taste was really good! It wasn't the perfunctory kind you find in tourist areas! In the evening, you can try the local seafood🦀️. You can buy it and have it cooked at a restaurant, or order directly from the restaurant. We calculated that the price difference isn't much, at most twenty to thirty yuan. Recommendation: We chose Jiangxing Seafood Restaurant that day. Although it's hidden in an alley, it's still quite popular, and the taste is good 📷Travel Tips: On the first day, you can go to the lighthouse on the right side of the pier to take photos. If the weather is good, the sunset is quite nice. It's recommended to follow the island ring road to Guishan Warship Memorial Park. The entrance corner has stones naturally forming a frame, with the sunset's orange glow and the blue sea creating a stark contrast, giving you that blockbuster feel in minutes! If you arrive early, you can walk around the park first and come back later to take photos (no need to return the same way) ～ On the second day, you can take a tram at twenty-five past to go to the top to watch the sunrise. It's best to contact in advance, as the locals know the best time to go up the mountain. When coming down by tram, stop at Aimin Road, where you can see the two forked streets known as 'little Kamakura'~ It's also great for taking photos! Make sure not to mix up the itinerary for the two days, because the slope at Aimin Road is really steep, and it's too tiring to climb up by yourself😫 📮 Summary: Although Guishan Island is not the most outstanding among the islands I've visited, if you're in Guangzhou or Zhuhai and your schedule is tight, but you still want to see the sea, it really is a good choice! When we went, I don't know if it was because we missed the holidays or what, but there were really few people, which is perfect for finding a corner to stare at the sea and daydream. You can also catch some small seafood at the landing point of Guishan Warship Memorial Park~ Remember to bring good sun protection! If you're on a day trip, remember to buy your return boat ticket in advance!
