Wuzhizhou Island Day Trip
Out across Haitang Bay to Wuzhizhou Island — what travellers call China's Maldives, with water visibility up to 27 metres, untouched coral reefs and the country's full menu of sea sports. Early start required; bookable end-to-end by our team.
Day Plan
Out to Houhai and the ferry. Bus 28 (recommended, ¥8, every 30 min) or a taxi (~¥80 from the city, ¥50 from Yalong Bay) to the Houhai pier, then the 15-minute ferry to Wuzhizhou (¥168 incl. ferry · +86 898 8875 1258). Walk the quick loop: Lover's Bridge → Pirate Bar → Mazu Temple → Lover's Valley →Sun-viewing Rock → Golden Turtle Exploring the Sea.
Dive the reef. Shore dive for first-timers (coral, colourful tropical fish, shells and sea urchins) or boat dive for deeper reefs; night dives are about double the day price. Alongside: jet-skis, banana boats, para-sailing, semi-submersible sightseeing boats and speedboat fishing. Bring lunch — the island's restaurants are pricey.
Return and soak. Catch the ferry back by 17:30 (last landing 16:00). On the way back, stop at Zhujiang Nantian Hot Spring (¥198, 08:00–23:30 · +86 898 8881 9888) — 60 pools of 56°C water in coconut groves, including the small-fish pool, to wash off the salt and the sun.
