Hailing Island travel guide to eating, drinking and having fun

Hello, I am very happy to answer this question

I am a photography enthusiast and backpacker. I have been to Hailing Island twice, in 2017. I went there once in the peak season and once in the off-season. The two seasons are different. The peak season is after the National Day on July 8-9-10, and the rest is the off-season

Hailing Island is divided into Zhapo Town and Hailing Town. The two places are 8 kilometers apart. In this way, Zhapo Town is more mature. , it was developed relatively early. The representative scenic spot of Zhapo Town is Dajiao Bay, and its nearby scenic spots are also relatively close. There are many B&Bs, inns, and hotels in Zhapo Town, and the prices in off-peak and peak seasons are much cheaper than those in Hailing Town. The representative scenic spot in Hailing Town is Shili Silver Beach, which has few scenic spots and has not been developed recently. The accommodation price is for hotel-style apartments developed by Poly, so you can choose by yourself.

Since I am engaged in photography and am not traveling by car, I carefully selected a hotel called Chunnuan Home in Zhapo Town, near Dajiao Bay, because it is only a minute’s walk to the beach, making it convenient for me to take photos. You don’t need to spend a lot of time coming and going to take photos, and the nearby attractions are relatively close.

PS: In June 2018, a high-speed train will be opened from Hailing Island to Yangjiang, Hailing Island. Then it will be more convenient to go to Hailing Island. I don’t have to take the bus until my butt hurts.

Eating:

Compared with other tourist cities, Hailing Island’s food is not as bad as what is said on the Internet

There are only about 2-4 people. , go directly to food stalls or restaurants to eat. Note: (try to avoid going to food stalls, restaurants and hotels in scenic spots). The price of seafood is written on the fish tank, and the price of a dish is also written on the stir-fried dishes.

If there are more than 5-10 people, you can go to the Zhapo Farmers Market to buy seafood. Ask two friends who know the vegetable prices to go to the market to buy ingredients. They can also process them at the food stalls near the Zhapo Farmers Market. , the processing fee is 8 yuan per pound. In this way, people can save a lot by buying more seafood for processing.

If you are tired and don’t want to buy, but don’t want to be ripped off, then open Meituan and click on the food. It will display the sales volume and the ranking of the seafood restaurants with good reviews, and the group meal will be displayed. , price, dishes and quantity, clearly consume. Of course, the boss is not willing to do group meals because it doesn’t make much money. He doesn’t make much, so you can save a lot.

If you are short on time, you can eat four meats, one dish and one soup for more than ten yuan in any restaurant on Hailing Island. It is simple and convenient, and you can leave immediately after eating.

Drink:

Don’t drink unhealthy products like drinks when you come to Hailing Island. You can drink coconut water. After drinking it, you can open it and eat the meat inside, and of course there is watermelon juice, pear juice, etc. Don’t ask me where to buy it, it’s everywhere on the beach.

Play:

Dajiao Bay (national 5A scenic spot + water park)

The two places are connected together, Dajiao Bay is the most beautiful beach in Zhapo , the supporting facilities are very mature and perfect. For fun and swimming here, there are parachutes, gliders, water and beach motorcycles, etc., as well as motorized games. There are lifeguards watching the swimming here, which is very safe, and there are long and exciting slides. and lazy river. Natural and exciting waves crash in. Various bikini beauties and handsome guys.

Shili Silver Beach (the place to watch the sunrise)

Shili Silver Beach is famous for its length. It is the longest beach on Hailing Island. The place to watch the sunrise depends on the weather forecast. Go again, you can also play in the water here, but the safety factor needs to be improved.

Mawei Island (the best place for couples + watching the sunset)

The most worthwhile place for couples, Mawei Island is not as choppy as Dajiao Bay, and is relatively calm here. , couples can watch the sunset after taking a walk, which is very romantic. Mawei Island is also the best choice for backpackers and campers. There are also barbecue grills for rent. In the evening, you can go to the farmers market to buy barbecue materials.

Little Harbor (drinking, chatting, watching the night view)

The Little Harbor can only be described as comfortable. You can take photos during the day and buy some beer and barbecue at the beach stalls at night. You can imagine the feeling as you watch the night view and the sea while blowing the sea breeze. Every year, fishermen will organize the release of fish here during the fishing moratorium.

Nanhai No.1 Museum (the starting point of the historical Silk Road)

Nanhai No.1 is located near Shili Silver Beach. If you want to learn about the history of Song Dynasty civilization, you can visit it. The ticket price is about 80

Beiluo Bay (private small beach + pedestrian walkway)

Beiluo Bay has fine sand, not big, but pretty and beautiful. Personally, I like Beiluo Bay the best because it is close to Dajiao Bay. Because it is very close, I can go back and forth frequently, and the facilities inside are very beautiful. There is also a pedestrian plank road where people are fishing, walking, and taking photos, which is quite beautiful.

Old Street (a place where people experience life in Hailing Island)

Old Street is the longest and oldest in Hailing Island. Although it is not as rich in resources as Hong Kong’s shopping streets, it is Since Hailing Island residents’ daily necessities, time-honored restaurants, clothing stores, etc. are all here, the old street is the street where you can best experience the people of Zhapo.

Luozhou Bay Park (playing, flying kites, fireworks, parties)

In a park by the sea, many local middle-aged women gather here to dance at night. The atmosphere is very good. Come here to fly kites in the evening, come here for a walk in the evening after a full meal, it is suitable for any time period.

Zhapo Central Fishing Port (Sightseeing by boat + fishing + watching the work and life of fishermen)

This is a place where you can take a boat and watch the sea. You can also fish on the boat and feel the sea breeze blowing on your face. There is no weariness at all. When you get ashore, you can also see the fishermen at work.

Music:

Hailing Island also has bars, bars, and KTVs at night. I personally go to the bar every night and drink a few bottles of wine to get brave. Singing is still free, haha.

I have always stayed at Chunnuan Home, which is more convenient. I stayed there for a week both times. I usually spent time surfing on the beach, sunbathing, fishing, mountain climbing, photography, and just relaxing. Eliminate your feeling of stress and relax and recharge.

Purely hand-made, these are all personal experiences. I want to share them with you, hoping to help you.
