Which one is more fun, Xiachuan Island or Hailing Island?

1. Compare the cleanness of their seawater

As for the cleanliness of the seawater, let’s put it this way. Both places are islands. The only difference is that it takes about 30 minutes to transfer between Shangchuan Island and Xiachuan Island. Passenger ship (it will take longer to get to Chuan Island) and Hailing Island can be reached by car. Due to the local government's support for the tourism industry, both scenic spots are 4A-level tourist areas. There are no industrial areas or polluting companies around them. Moreover, both places are in the Pearl River Delta, so they are not too far apart, so there is no difference in the quality of the sea water. . It is inevitable that there will be some floating objects and garbage in the beaches and water entertainment areas in the scenic area. After all, the quality of tourists is different. Dajiao Bay Beach will be cleaned by a large number of cleaning staff around 5 a.m. every morning, and I believe the same is true for Fei Beach.

2. Entertainment facilities

Swimming, paragliding, jet skiing, surfing, playing in the sand, etc. Beach entertainment is the same all over the world. There is nothing to say, at most it is Prices vary when playing amusement rides. (I haven’t done paid entertainment such as paragliding and jet skiing in N years, and I don’t know how to charge now.) Some swimming equipment, such as floating beds, sun umbrellas, etc., will have obvious price lists around the rental center, and the cost will be about tens of dollars. Well, just remember to prepare a deposit.

In the evening, compared to the nightlife of the two places, I think Zhapo is better, but I suggest you go to the beach and enjoy the sea breeze, or have a barbecue with close friends at the beach. (There are special barbecue venues. You can buy food and utensils directly there, but the price will be a little more expensive than outside.) If you think that traveling to the beach is to sing karaoke or hang out in bars, then you can easily get there near the scenic spots. Find these places.

3. Catering expenses

Walk a few steps to find an ordinary food stall. Don’t worry about the lack of seafood varieties. It just depends on how thick your wallet is. And Some food stalls also offer set meals, which cost around 150-350. Of course, there are also more expensive ones, it’s up to you to choose. In addition to the set meal, I also recommend you try the seafood porridge made with the ingredients of your choice. That means depending on what you like to eat, choose three or two kinds of seafood, about half a catty each, and it will be delicious. Local seafood prices: shrimps and crabs are generally around 30-40 per pound, shellfish are mostly around 10 per pound, and other seafood such as grouper fish are at current prices. It is better to choose one that is around 1.5 pounds. Anyway, don’t listen to that. People can just brag about fishing in the sea, because 99.9% of it is fish-raised.

4. Accommodation

Find some small family-style hotels (Zhapo is opposite the parking lot of the scenic spot, I don’t know about Shangchuan). There won't be any problems with the safety of these small hotels. As for the sanitary conditions, it depends on your personal requirements. Generally, they won't be too out of the ordinary. (House prices are around 60-80 during non-holidays and around 100-120 during peak season. Please visit a few more and ask)

5. Worry about not being able to speak Cantonese

Both attractions are There are local languages, and the effect of speaking Mandarin and Cantonese is the same. Don’t think that speaking a few words in Cantonese will bring you any benefits. In the eyes of the locals, anyone other than speaking the local dialect is a “water fish”. Haha, that’s it for tourism~

6. Visit nearby areas Small attractions

You can rent a boat to go to Zhapo Mawei Island and Shangchuan Lovers Island (usually around 50). Mawei Island is located at the southwest end of Hailing Island. The longest sand ring is 1 km, and it is actually a peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides. The island is covered with trees, making it a very "Maldives" place. However, because there are no lifeguards on the island, guests are not allowed to go into the water. Instead, they can walk on the island's beach or dance with the beach. I have never been to Shangchuan Lovers Island, but I heard that it is known as a place where love is witnessed!

Finally, I would like to remind you that it is cheaper to go with a group than to travel independently. Think about it~

Let me introduce you to another tourist spot: there is a place called Shapa Town in Yangxi, which is also quite good. In terms of cost, whether it is accommodation, meals or other entertainment expenses (no beach tickets, free entry), it is the cheapest among Guangdong beach attractions. The residents here are very simple and friendly (just like country people). This is also the second largest fish port in Guangdong (if I remember correctly), and eating seafood is cheaper than elsewhere. It is also known as China's "Maldives", with two kilometers of beaches and salt water hot springs. The disadvantage is that the bathhouse does not have a protective net (I don’t know if it is installed now). You may accidentally encounter jellyfish when swimming. Because most of them are small and transparent in color, you will not notice it at all until it stings your skin. You will find that the wounds are just small red dots, but there will be a very painful feeling around these small red dots, almost like a fire.
