Weizhou (涠洲岛; Wéizhōu Dǎo) is a tiny volcanic island off the Southwest coast of China.

[edit] Understand

National park (admission 50 RMB) covers the whole island, formed by volcanic eruptions about 7000 years ago. It is not heavily touristed - Chinese come here on daily trips, but rarely stay longer. English is not widespread - even by local standards. Bring cash supplies with you - the only ATM on the island (in Nanwan) will not accept foreign cards.

[edit] Get in

Ferries to Weizhou depart every morning from Beihai.

[edit] Get around

The island has an impressive fleet of tricicles (5-15RMB per trip).
