Breakfast & Lunch

After breakfast at the hotel, take a car to the pier and then a boat to the stunning Wuzhizhou Island. Located 2.7 km from the coast, the island is shaped like a butterfly and covers 1.48 square kilometers. It faces Nanwan Monkey Island to the north and borders Yalong Bay to the south—known as the most beautiful bay in China. The surrounding waters are crystal-clear with visibility ranging from 6 to 27 meters. The area is rich in marine life such as night-light conchs, sea cucumbers, lobsters, mackerels, sea urchins, pomfrets, and colorful tropical fish. The southern waters are home to well-preserved coral reefs, making it one of the best diving spots in China.

Must-Visit on the Island:

Sunview Rock (Guanri Yan): Located on the island’s southeastern cliffs, offering panoramic views of the entire island and the vast South China Sea—an excellent spot to watch the sunrise.

Seaside Boardwalk: A peaceful trail to enjoy clear waters, crabs on the rocks, and tropical fish (if you're lucky).

Electric shuttle tours are available to circle the island comfortably.

For the adventurous, the island offers helicopter tours and outdoor wind tunnel flying experiences, providing unique ways to explore by air, sea, and underwater. Whether you’re a diving enthusiast or an extreme sports lover, you’ll find your paradise here.

After the island, head to Houhai Village, uniquely nestled between Houhai Bay (north), Queen's Bay (south), and Haitang Bay (east). This peninsula retains the charm of a traditional fishing village, where fishing boats dock at the pier. You can try "reef fishing" or purchase fresh seafood for local-style processing. In the evening, enjoy bonfire parties and live music on the beach—laid-back and vibrant.

Queen’s Bay is known for its consistent, multi-angle waves, making it ideal for surfers of all levels. From October to April is peak surfing season—earning it the title "China's No.1 Surfing Village."

Use high-SPF sunscreen and sunhats. Always follow your surf instructor’s guidance and obey ocean safety signs. Help keep the beach clean by not littering.
