[2025 Yangjiang Attraction] Travel Guide for Hai Ling Island (Updated Jul)

If you're planning to visit Yangjiang without doing research beforehand, you might miss out on many amazing experiences and encounter various problems, which is exactly what happened to me 😫. That's why I've carefully prepared this super practical Yangjiang travel guide after my trip, including essential tips for April visits. Save it now and start your perfect Yangjiang journey! 🌞 Yangjiang Weather In April, Yangjiang's temperature ranges between 23℃ - 32℃, with abundant sunshine and warm weather. During the day, a light short-sleeve shirt paired with breathable sun protection clothing is perfect for strolling on the beach or exploring old streets, feeling relaxed and comfortable. However, since Yangjiang is coastal, the sea breeze can be changeable, and it might feel cooler on cloudy or rainy days, so I recommend bringing a light jacket. Be sure to check the weather forecast before your trip and pack appropriate clothing to enjoy the beautiful scenery comfortably. ⚠️ Yangjiang Travel Tips ❌ At Yangjiang stations and attraction entrances, people may enthusiastically promote accommodations or cheap day tours - don't trust them! These accommodations might have poor conditions or inconvenient locations, while day tours often involve forced shopping or arbitrary itinerary changes. Book accommodations through legitimate platforms, read reviews, plan your own itinerary, or choose reputable travel agencies. ❌ Be cautious of specialty products sold by vendors at seafood markets and around scenic spots, such as "fake Yangjiang doubanjiang" or "low-quality pearl jewelry," which may be overpriced and of questionable quality. Buy specialty products from legitimate supermarkets or specialty stores, like well-established shops in the city center, where quality is guaranteed and prices are transparent. ❌ Don't casually take photos with people dressed as "fishing villagers" at scenic spots, as they'll demand high fees afterward. Also avoid strangers who recommend "lesser-known attractions," as these places might not be safe. ✔️ If you plan to visit Hailing Island, book tickets for the Guangdong Maritime Silk Road Museum in advance, as April sees many tourists. Don't miss the "Nanhai No. 1" shipwreck and artifacts inside, which showcase the glory of ancient maritime trade. After visiting, take a stroll on the Ten-Mile Silver Beach with its fine sand, perfect for photos. Keep your belongings safe and remember sun protection at the beach. ✔️ For authentic Yangjiang cuisine, visit the food stalls near Zhapa Fishing Port. There's a famous restaurant serving "salt and pepper mantis shrimp" with crispy shells and tender meat that tastes like the ocean with every bite. The "steamed grouper" is also excellent, with delicate white flesh that's fresh and delicious, making your taste buds dance with joy. Local seafood porridge and stir-fried clams are also worth trying to satisfy your seafood cravings. ✔️ Visit Dajiao Bay to enjoy Yangjiang's stunning sea views. In April, the water is warm enough for water activities like jet skiing and sailing, letting you experience the ocean's passion and vitality. When tired, lie on a beach chair, feel the sea breeze, and admire the blue sky and white clouds for a relaxing time. Research prices and safety information in advance, and choose legitimate operators. ✔️ After visiting Dao'ao Fishing Village, explore the ancient streets to experience Tanka culture and buy specialties like shrimp paste and fish noodles. If you want to participate in folk activities, consult local residents or scenic area staff in advance, and don't trust street touts to avoid being overcharged. ✔️ If you're visiting Lingxiao Rock Scenic Area, choose a clear day. In April, the stalactites inside Lingxiao Rock look dreamlike under the lights, and the newly opened glass observation deck is a great photo spot. Book tickets and transportation online in advance, follow the signs while visiting, don't touch the stalactites, and be a civilized tourist. 🏘 Accommodation Recommendations ✔️ I recommend staying on Hailing Island or in Yangjiang city. Hailing Island is close to the sea, allowing you to experience the ocean's charm anytime, with many hotels and guesthouses ranging from budget to luxury options. Staying in Yangjiang city offers convenient transportation and shopping. During peak tourist season, accommodations are in high demand, so be sure to book in advance. ❌ Be cautious about remote guesthouses far from attractions and with inconvenient transportation. Although they may be cheaper, the daily commute to attractions takes time, surrounding facilities are limited, and it's difficult to get help in emergencies. 📍 Yangjiang Transportation Visitors from outside can first arrive in cities like Guangzhou or Shenzhen, then take high-speed trains or long-distance buses to Yangjiang. Since attractions in Yangjiang are scattered, I recommend renting a car for flexibility in arranging your itinerary and stopping to enjoy scenery anytime. You can also take public buses or taxis from the city center to attractions. When taking taxis, confirm your destination and price with the driver in advance to avoid disputes over remote routes. Plan your transportation ahead of time for a smooth Yangjiang journey!

#2024Travel Review Hailing Island is located in the northern waters of the South China Sea at the southwest end of Yangjiang City, covering an area of ​​105 square kilometers. It is the fourth largest island in Guangdong Province and is known as Guangdong Hawaii.

| Capturing the traces of time with a brush. Not long ago, Shandi Ancient Village on Hailing Island welcomed a special group of visitors—students carrying painting supplies. They came here to sketch, using their brushes to record every scene and moment in the ancient village. I followed them into this poetic place, experiencing a beautiful collision of art and history. 🏡 The Charm of the Ancient Village Shandi Ancient Village is like an ancient scroll quietly unfurled in the embrace of Hailing Island. Most of the buildings here are blue-brick houses from the Ming and Qing dynasties, exuding rustic charm and a sense of timeworn history. Strolling along the stone-paved paths, you can almost hear the footsteps of time. Every corner of the village is filled with stories—the mottled walls, ancient doors and windows, and stone benches at the doorsteps all invite you to pause and take a closer look. 🎨 The Students' Sketching Time The students found their own creative paradise here. Some sat in the village alleys, sketching the lines of ancient houses; others painted by the pond, capturing the harmony between lotus flowers and historic architecture; and some gathered under the old banyan tree at the village entrance, tracing the play of light and shadow. Their brushes danced across the canvas, each stroke brimming with love and reverence for the ancient village. 🌿 A Source of Sketching Inspiration The beauty of Shandi Ancient Village lies not only in its historic buildings but also in its perfect harmony with nature. The ponds, fields, and distant green mountains around the village provide abundant inspiration for the students. Here, you can see ancient blue-brick walls complementing blooming lotuses, or the long shadows cast by the village alleys under the setting sun. Every scene seems to whisper an ancient tale. 🌟 Sketching Tips - **Best Sketching Spots**: The old banyan tree at the village entrance, the alleys, and the lotus pond are all excellent choices. - **Timing**: The soft morning light is ideal for capturing shadows, while the warm hues of the evening sunset add richness to your artwork. - **Accommodation**: There are homestays in the village—consider staying a few nights to immerse yourself in its tranquility and sketch the traces of time. If you love painting or simply want to experience the charm of an ancient village, take a stroll through Shandi Ancient Village. Here, you’ll find not only breathtaking scenery but also the artistic energy left behind by the students. Time seems to slow down here, making every moment worth capturing.

**Mangshi Recommended Travel Time:** November to March is the best season to visit this border town in Yunnan. With winter temperatures averaging around 20°C, it's perfect for escaping the cold. This period precedes the Dai New Year's Water Splashing Festival (mid-April), meaning fewer tourists and reasonable prices. At dawn, capture the mystical sight of the Golden and Silver Pagodas shrouded in morning mist, and at dusk, photograph the golden Buddhist glow during sunset. Local delicacies like "Sapie" and "Paoluda" are also at their freshest during this season. **Chatong Ancient Town Recommended Travel Time:** Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) are ideal. In spring, the town is surrounded by seas of rapeseed flowers, with cobblestone paths contrasting beautifully against white walls and black tiles. Autumn offers misty water town scenes. Avoid the rainy season (July-August) to ensure good photography conditions. Visit at 6-7 AM for the most authentic glimpses of local life, and don’t miss documenting the traditional tung oil umbrella-making process. **Hailing Island Recommended Travel Time:** May-June and September-October are optimal. Avoid summer crowds while enjoying crystal-clear waters and mild temperatures. Capture sunrise over the sea in the morning and bustling fishing port scenes at dusk. Highlights include the "Nanhai No.1" Museum and the mangrove ecological zone. The lively seafood market is another must-photograph spot. **Dongji Island Recommended Travel Time:** June-September offers the bluest seas and high visibility, perfect for photographing China’s earliest sunrise. Though July-August brings more tourists, it’s great for snapping lively sea-fishing scenes and starlit fishing boats. Monitor typhoon forecasts (July-September) and explore the island’s unique stone houses and lighthouses. **Weihai Recommended Travel Time:** June-September is best, with summer temperatures around 25°C—ideal for beach holidays. Photograph Liu Gong Island’s blue seas, flocks of seagulls on Hailu Island, and bustling fish markets in September. Winter (December-February) offers rare shots of sea ice and elegant swans at Swan Lake. **Jingdezhen Recommended Travel Time:** Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) provide comfortable temperatures for photographing ancient kiln sites and porcelain-making. Dawn shots of rising kiln smoke in old factory areas are especially recommended. The October Porcelain Expo showcases stunning ceramic art, while rainy days add charm with reflections of blue-and-white porcelain. **Songyang Recommended Travel Time:** Year-round, but March-April (rapeseed flower season) and September-October (golden rice terraces) are most spectacular. Capture terraced fields blending with ancient villages, morning mountain mists, and sunset glows. Visit villages like Yangjiatang and Chenjiapu for authentic farming life. **Hongyadong Recommended Travel Time:** Weekdays in March-May or September-November avoid crowds and showcase Chongqing’s pleasant climate. Nighttime light shows are a must, but skip holidays. Early mornings reveal old Chongqing’s local charm. **Shaoxing Recommended Travel Time:** Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) are most comfortable. Photograph gondola-like "Wupeng" boats and cultural sites like Lu Xun’s hometown. April is ideal for documenting Shaoxing wine brewing. Rainy season (June-July) adds misty Jiangnan scenery, while winter highlights traditional foods like cured duck and sausages.

From the moment we stepped in, we were completely smitten💓 The full suite design + private pool + BBQ party make it the perfect choice for a girls' gathering & family trip~ 🏡 The villa's setup is outrageously luxurious • All 8 suites have private bathrooms, French vintage furniture paired with starry sky lighting, every photo looks like a painting • The living room has a 6-meter high ceiling with a crystal chandelier; opening a bottle of champagne at night instantly transforms it into the Palace of Versailles • Special shoutout to the 20㎡ Instagram-worthy pool! At 4 PM when the sunlight slants, the water surface glows golden. Wearing a white swimsuit for underwater photos is absolutely stunning (remember to bring a waterproof phone pouch) 🔥 Pool BBQ party is forever the best The villa butler can prepare the full BBQ equipment. We recommend buying at the local seafood market: - Must-buy ingredients: oysters, scallops, tiger prawns - Hidden tip: have the butler prepare coconut chicken hotpot base; blanching seafood in it makes it even fresher and sweeter We sipped cold beer watching the stars reflected in the pool when suddenly fireworks started at the neighboring villa—who can understand this kind of unexpected romance! ✨ Nearby walking guide • 10-minute walk to Poly Silver Beach, often fireworks shows at 8 PM (much less crowded than Disneyland) • Infinity pool inside the villa area (definitely go at dusk! Sunset + sea view = social media gold) • Mawei Island 5 km away for beachcombing; before the early high tide, you can find starfish and mussels 💡 Practical tips • Transportation: 3-hour drive from Guangzhou, recommended to go straight to Zha Po seafood market after exiting the highway for shopping • Money-saving tip: off-season on Wednesdays and Thursdays, room rates drop by 30%, so with 8 people sharing, it’s just over 300 RMB per person • Hidden service: contact the butler in advance to set up birthday/proposal scenes (petal bathtub + balloon package costs 398 RMB) • ⚠️ Note: The villa does not provide disposable toothbrushes, remember to bring your own; pool lights are only on until 11 PM at night

👭 Girls! This time I've truly struck gold! No need to go to Sanya—Guangdong hides this heavenly island gem! It's Yangjiang's Hailing Island, one of Guangdong's four major islands, crowned as the "Oriental Hawaii." Here, you wake up naturally every day, feast on the freshest seafood, and soak in the most healing ocean views. Save this nanny-level guide and get ready to go👇 🏨 Living Between the Clouds and Waves Choosing the Element Hotel was a beautiful accident. I just wanted a seaside stay but unexpectedly unlocked a new "laid-back ocean-viewing" experience. The 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows are like a giant movie screen, showcasing ever-changing ocean scenes daily. The designer clearly understands "lazy philosophy": the mini-kitchen even comes with seasonings. Buy seafood outside and DIY a feast anytime! 🌅 The Three-Minute Sunrise Ritual The biggest perk of staying by the sea? Turning sunrise viewing into an impromptu performance. At dawn, I walked through the dewy coastal path. Three minutes later, my toes touched the cool seawater. The sunrise here is gentle—first a shrimp-pink hue, then peach-colored clouds, and finally, the sun rising like a soft-boiled egg yolk. In the morning light, even your hair glows. 🏖 The Carnival of Ten-Mile Silver Beach A five-minute drive takes you to the legendary Ten-Mile Silver Beach. The water is so clear it looks filtered. The beach is loveliest at 10 AM—sunlight isn’t too harsh, lounge chairs are freshly set, and water sports require no queues. Don’t miss jet skiing for some ocean-speed thrills. Or try parasailing—when the speedboat accelerates, the wind lifts you up, offering a drone-like view of the bay. Exhausted? Collapse on the sand with lemon tea, watching jet skis carve white waves. 🦀 The Lively Charm of the Seafood Market Zhabo Market is liveliest at 4 PM! Fresh fish, lively mantis shrimp, feisty flower crabs—each tempts your taste buds. Master the "three checks" for seafood: intact crab legs (broken ones spoil faster), black-free shrimp antennae (black means stale), and bulging fish eyes (sunken means old). Back at the hotel, try the local "fermented black bean steam"—savory with a hint of seafood sweetness. ⛱️ I’m in love with this trip! No crowds, no rush! Ocean-view rooms, sunrise by the sea, and seafood freedom—this is what a vacation should be!!
