There is not only the beautiful Weizhou Island in Beihai, Guangxi, but also a pig-like Piglet Ridge?

Many people know that Beihai has very beautiful scenery and is also known as the "Hometown of the Southern Pearl". Today we will take you to Beihai, Guangxi. Weizhou Island is located 21 nautical miles south of Beihai City, Guangxi. It is the largest island in Guangxi and the youngest volcanic island in China. Weizhou Island was rated as one of the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Islands in China", ranking second. In the center of the crescent-shaped bay of Weizhou Island, the base is a large piece of sea erosion mound. Due to the development of sea erosion, the stone cliff on the mound has developed into the shape of a little fat pig - Zhuziling. Small eyes, short ears, high forehead, plump body, strong and rugged, lifelike.

Take a passenger ferry from Beihai to Weizhou Island, and the speedboat will arrive in more than an hour. The only means of transportation on Weizhou Island are electric vehicles and tricycles. Rent an electric car and travel around the island for about 3 hours in the rain, while the sea water laps against the volcanic rocks. The place where fire and water once met. Rough and primitive volcanic rocks, fierce and powerful waves? In summer, there is a continuous southwest monsoon here, and the wind and waves are relatively strong. Crocodile Mountain is located in the southwest corner of Weizhou Island, and it is also the place with the strongest wind and waves on the island. The rocks are eroded by the sea wind and waves into thousands of shapes.

Xieyang Island, 9 nautical miles away from Weizhou Island, has a simpler scenery and has no supplies. You must bring your own water. Fishermen are honest and kind. From Weizhou Island to Xieyang Island, you have to pass through an underwater ribbon. You can dive on Xieyang Island to see the fantastic underwater world. In addition, many fishing enthusiasts choose to fish on Xieyang Island, where valuable grouper and snapper can often be caught. The island is relatively small, only one-tenth of Weizhou Island, and a day trip is almost enough.

Walk through a country road full of banana trees and arrive at the Weizhou Catholic Church in Shengtang Village. It was built in the 1850s using volcanic stone, crushed coral stone and soil. It is extremely sturdy. According to legend, it is the second Catholic church built by foreign missionaries in my country after the Shanghai Catholic Church. It has a long history. The church was built by the French, so the foreigners in the minds of the simple residents of the island are the French. There is a stone statue on the dripping screen called the face of the French. When I arrived, the "face" had been damaged by the typhoon and fell to the ground, which inevitably reduced some of the fun, and the number of tourists here became increasingly rare.

The southern half of Weizhou Island is dominated by sea erosion landforms, with well-developed sea erosion cliffs, caves, sea erosion platforms and columns; the northern half is dominated by sea accumulation landforms, with sandy Ti, Xuan Lake, beach and reef flat. Among sea erosion landforms, the coast of Nanwan is a typical example. Under the combined erosion of waves and tides, the rocks near the intertidal zone were first destroyed, forming sea caves distributed in layers. The reef rocks were eroded by the waves and created many dark holes, which are called hidden turtle caves. In the evening, I stayed in a family on the seaside of Nanwan Port. I climbed to the rooftop on the third floor and could overlook the sea, listen to the sound of the rising tide, and sing heartily. The sea water can be described as vast and boundless, and the dusk is dark, with tigers roaring and apes croaking. If we can bring wine to the wind, we can catch up with the ancients.

In the morning, we took advantage of the low tide and walked on the rocky path to climb Zhuzai Ridge. Zhuzai Ridge is actually a huge sea stack, 35 meters high, less than 30 meters wide, but 30 meters long. It is about 100 meters away. From a distance, it looks like a little pig with its head raised, hence its name. The Way of Moses takes about 10 minutes. For children with poor balance, a conservative estimate is 20 minutes. When we arrived at Zhuziling, it seemed almost impossible to climb up. We walked on the soft beach, picking up shells and conches. Going east from Zhuziling belongs to the Guiling Seaside Park Scenic Area. The terrain of this section is quite interesting, with mainly rocky beaches and slippery stone surfaces.

Zhuziling is about 100 meters away from Weizhou Island. There is a path made of rocks leading to it. When the tide is low, you can walk to the island through the path, but at high tide this road is will be submerged by sea water. However, it is not recommended to go to the island before you know the exact time of the day's tide, so as not to get stranded if you don't get off the island in time. In fact, the scenery of this island is even more beautiful from a distance. Zhuziling is opposite Crocodile Mountain. When there is no high tide, there is a slippery stone road that can pass by, but it is a forbidden place because it is more dangerous. It looks beautiful from a distance, adding a lot of style and character to the sea. It looks like a big rock covered with green trees lying on the sea. It’s still very good as a background wall for taking photos.

Actually, Zhuziling is really small. It takes about two or three minutes to walk around the island normally. However, there are some distinctive stones on the island that have been washed away by the sea water. It is impossible to walk through them when the tide is high. You need to find fishermen to row over. Now the island in Zhuziling has been fenced off and is said to be used as a military base. Fortunately, an acquaintance of mine took me over the wall this time. I must come back before high tide when visiting. Otherwise, you will be trapped, haha!
