Wailingding Island Day Trip
Out to the island where Wen Tianxiang wrote 'I will leave my loyal heart to shine in the pages of history' — Wailingding Island: a fishing village, Da Dong Bay beach and a lookout over the Lingding Channel. Bookable end-to-end by our team.
Day Plan
Out to Wailingding. Arrive at Xiangzhou North Pier by 08:00 for the 08:20 fast ferry (¥85, 1.5 h). On board, the Pearl River estuary opens into the South China Sea — keep an eye out for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge approach on the way. Arrive by 10:00; walk from the pier into the fishing village.
Village lunch & beach. Lunch at a village seafood restaurant — the catch that came off the boat this morning. Then Da Dong Bay beach: fine sand, calm water, beach umbrellas. Rent snorkel gear from the kiosk or simply swim.
Beidi Bell & Twin Peaks. Walk up to the Beidi Dawn Bell and the Twin Peaks Panorama lookout for the classic island-and-sea photograph — the archipelago spreads across the Lingding Channel. Back to the pier for the 16:20 ferry, returning to Xiangzhou by 18:00.
