Special instructions:
1. Beihai has been the hometown of Nanzhu since ancient times. The pearls produced here are known as "West Pearl is not as good as East Pearl, and East Pearl is not as good as South Pearl", which is the best among pearls. Nanzhu Palace, opposite the underwater world on Chating Road, is the largest state-owned franchise store of Pearl, located in Beibu Gulf Middle Road.
When shopping, you should pay attention to shoddy goods, often the outer packaging is beautiful, the outer layer you see is good, but the inside is defective. It is best to open the package when buying.
3. The seafood products in Beihai Aquatic Products Market are good and cheap, so it is the best choice to buy some and take them back as "personal letters". But remember to kill at least half to two-thirds of the price.
Yintan, a must-see attraction in Beihai.
Located in the southern seashore of Beihai City, it is about 6 kilometers away from the urban area, stretching about 24 kilometers from east to west, with a total beach area of about 38 square kilometers. The sand on the beach is fine quartz sand. Under the sunshine, the white and delicate beach will glow with silver light, so it is called silver beach. This is an excellent natural bathing beach, which is famous for its flat and long beach, fine white sand, clean water temperature, gentle waves, high negative oxygen ions and no sharks. The content of negative oxygen ions in the air is 50 to 1000 times that of big cities. Known as the "trump card scenic spot" of China tourism, it enjoys the reputation of "the first beach in the world".
The scenic spots strolling through Silver Beach are concentrated in the middle of the beach. In addition to the beach park with the largest musical sculpture fountain in Asia, there are three land-connected Xianren Bridge and the unique Sanguan Pavilion. The dense pine forest around Sanguan Pavilion makes it more majestic. Standing on the Sanguan Pavilion to watch the sunrise, the sea and the forest are excellent places to go.
Legend of Xianrenqiao
According to legend, Xianren Bridge is formed by rainbows in the sky. When Ren Ren, a senior monk of Tiantai Sect in Japan, went to the Tang Dynasty to seek dharma, he passed the sea west of Xianren Bridge by sea and saw a golden light and a rainbow in front of him, one end of which lay on the shore and the other end fell into the sea. On the rainbow, two old people sat up and argued about Hong Zhong. Under the rainbow, snakes coiled and turtles held their heads high. Monk Ren Yuan urgently ordered the fleet to sail for the rainbow. When it reached the shore, the rainbow disappeared. I saw a stone bridge like a rainbow, connecting the landing land with the ocean, snakes and turtles. It is in the shape of two huge stones. Monk Ren Yuan immediately fell to his knees and stayed at Xianren Bridge for several days.
Yintan entertainment
Because the water quality is clean, and the sea water ebbs fast and the tide rises slowly, the swimming safety factor here is high. The sea area near Yintan can swim in the water for more than 9 months every year. There are beach volleyball, football, beach go-karting, water bungee jumping and small sailing boats on the beach. You can also dive to the bottom of the sea to see beautiful corals and wonderful underwater world. In addition, there are beach chairs for rent by the sea, so you can lie on the beach until the sun goes down, which is very comfortable.
Silver Beach Entertainment Tips
First, the precautions for swimming:
1. You must go swimming in the sea to go to Silver Beach. It is best to bring swimming equipment such as swimsuits, goggles and swimming rings in advance. If it's too much trouble, there are many stalls selling or renting swimming equipment near Yintan, but the prices are not cheap.
2. When swimming, don't go to deep water areas and areas without lifeguards. Don't go too far offshore. Once the wind rises and ebbs, you should go ashore immediately.
3. Stay away from motorboats when swimming and pay attention to safety.
The seaside is sunny and "toxic". Skin desquamate easily after swimming. Take sunscreen skin care products and pay attention to protection.
Second, special reminder:
1, it should be noted that never find someone to rent or borrow equipment, especially jet skis, which are unsafe and may be slaughtered.
Don't go to the so-called "lover island" by motorboat. Ship owners sometimes blackmail tourists because the ship is broken.
It is 6 kilometers away from Beibu Gulf Square in the city center.
1, the city can be reached by bus No.3.
2. It takes about 15 minutes to get to Yintan by taxi from downtown, and the cost is about 20 yuan, so you can bargain.
3. Take a ride to 8 yuan.
Others:
1. Beihai Yintan Park has a battery car, which can be used for sightseeing around the sea. Need 10 yuan/person.
There are go-karts on the beach, which are divided into single and double. Prices are different in light and peak seasons, 50-80 yuan/10 minutes.
There is a fast food restaurant in the beach park. In addition, a row of twenty or thirty seafood restaurants on the roadside near Yintan can be selected at will. But every seafood restaurant has one or two people coming to meet you on the expressway. You'd better decide which one to go to before talking to them.
Weizhou Island is a must-see attraction in Beihai.
Weizhou Island is the largest island in Guangxi and the largest extinct volcanic island in China. The island is known as the "Great Penglai" fairy island because of its stormy waves, deep caves, beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. The island is located 36 nautical miles southeast of Beihai Peninsula, surrounded by the sea, 65 kilometers long from north to south, 6 kilometers wide from east to west, with the highest elevation of 79 meters.
Volcanic island is rich in landscape resources, with volcanic lava landscape-Zhuziling; It fell into the sea like a "turtle bow and blue wisp"; Julian's long hanging "Drip Dan Screen" drip screen (south bank of Drip Village, formerly known as Dishuiyan. The upper part of the cliff is covered by trees, and water often overflows from the gap between the upper parts of the wall and drops down a little, such as hanging bamboo curtains); There are also many reef caves shaped like seals, dolphins and seahorses, which can be called animal seas, such as fairy caves, thief caves and sheep caves. In addition, the French Catholic Church in Tangsheng Village settled on the island at the end of 19. The building materials of the church are all taken from the corals and rocks on the island, and they are still as strong as ever after a hundred years. There is also the historical footprint of Sanlao Temple and Notre Dame, which proves the combination of Chinese and western cultures. More than 400 years ago, Tang Xianzu, a famous dramatist in the Ming Dynasty, visited the island and wrote the poem "The sun shines on the outline of Weizhou and the wind deviates from the island". In addition, there are various recreational facilities on the island, which is an excellent place for island exploration, sea fishing, shellfish bathing and diving exploration. Weizhou Island is also the best place to watch the sun's oblique panorama on Xieyang Island. Moreover, from Weizhou Island to Xieyang Island, you can also see strange and beautiful underwater ribbons.
Travel tips:
1. It is best to stay for one night and enjoy the charm of the rising sun and the fun of sea activities at night.
You must pay attention to the weather forecast when you go to the island. If you can't sail because of the weather or wind and waves, you will be forced to stay on the island for several days.
There are no banks in Weizhou Island at present, only rural credit cooperatives. You can't withdraw money by card. Visitors who want to stay on the island for a long time had better prepare more cash.
Recommended route for tour around the island:
Route A: Shi Gui Seaside Park (riding on the steepest hillside in Beihai)-Big Beach-Fisherman's Style Village-Sea Cucumber Farm-Catholic Church-Shiluobei-Submarine Coral Area (diving)-Wild animals make waves in the sea.
Line B: Crocodile Mountain Park to watch the sunrise-Visit the crater ruins-Xianren Cave-Dishui Danping-Sanlaoniang Temple-Fengbo Ridge (the steepest hillside in the Lower Beihai area)-Zhuziling.
Tip: It is best to contact a fisherman who will take you to the island (provide accommodation), and you can avoid the island fee.
Shangdao traffic
You can take bus No.3 to Beihai International Passenger Terminal, and then take the 8: 30 fast boat (about 1.5 hours, fare: first class 120 yuan) or the slow boat (3 hours, fare: 80 yuan, first class 90 yuan). The ship returned from the island at 15: 30 p.m.
Island traffic
The means of transportation on Weizhou Island include taxis and bicycles. It takes 20-40 yuan to visit all the scenic spots by motorcycle, or you can rent a bicycle to visit Piggy. 15 yuan/day. In addition, renting an air-conditioned car costs about two or three hundred yuan a day.
Tips:
1. Taking a boat is the only way to Weizhou Island, and there are few flights. 1-2 will be added in the afternoon of peak season. You'd better buy a round-trip ticket in advance. Generally speaking, when the weather is fine, only the clippers can sail. In bad weather, the clippers can't move forward, so they have to rely on slow boats. If there is bad weather, ships will stop sailing, so you must pay attention to the weather when you go to the island.
2. Pay attention to the safety signs on board, the orientation of lifeboats and emergency doors, life jackets are generally under the seats, and plastic bags and drugs to prevent seasickness will be prepared on board.
The only way to get to Xieyang Island is to take a boat from Weizhou Island Pier. A speedboat carrying about 10 passengers takes about 500-600 yuan, and it takes half an hour to get there. The round-trip cost by fishing boat on the island is about two or three hundred yuan, about one hour. The average speedboat fishing boat can't exceed 10, so don't overload and wear life jackets.
Catering:
The island mainly eats seafood, and vegetables and meat are more expensive than seafood. I suggest you buy your favorite seafood in the vegetable market near the pier and ask the people in the food stalls to process it. The processing fee is very cheap, and the seafood is the freshest and cheapest when the fishermen unload the ship around 7 am. A few people may not be able to eat 200 yuan.
Accommodation:
Accommodation on the island is average and the price is not expensive. Some hotels, ordinary hotels and fisherman's hotels offer them.
1, Nanyou Hotel (Nanwan Street) and Penglai Hotel (the highest point of Weizhou Island) have relatively good conditions, and the cost is about 100 yuan.
2, fisherman's restaurant, the conditions are average, but the store is warm and simple. Piggy Bar (Nanwan Street. 800 meters from the dock) The atmosphere is good. Ande Hotel (near the ticket office of the wharf) and Golden Bay Hotel (the third floor of Jingang Building of the town government). Prices range from tens of dollars.
Boarding the "South Penglai"-Weizhou Island, overlooking the magnificent scenery of sunrise and sunset at sea; Explore the lava wonders and marine landforms left by volcanic eruption 10 thousand years ago; Diving at the bottom of the sea and watching the dazzling coral bushes are the greatest enjoyment of the trip to the North Sea.
