Beihai Travel Guide
Beihai is a beautiful and romantic coastal city in China, known for its mild subtropical climate and scenic coastal views. With clear blue skies, warm winters, and mild summers, the gentle sea breeze brings a comfortable, moist air year-round. Flowers bloom in every season, and greenery thrives throughout the city.
Located on the Beibu Gulf and backed by Southwest China, Beihai is surrounded by the sea on three sides and includes the islands of Weizhou and Xieyang. The city is divided into three districts—Haicheng, Yinhai, and Tieshangang—and Hepu County, forming a garden-style port city.
With its subtropical monsoon climate, Beihai is truly a place where winters are warm and summers are cool. The famous Silver Beach, with its stunning scenery, provides everything needed for coastal tourism—pristine waters, sunshine, and beautiful sandy beaches.
Attractions in Beihai
① On the first day, I arrived in Beihai around noon and then headed to Silver Beach to watch the sunset in the afternoon.

Beihai is a very relaxing city. I stayed at the Kaiyuan Mingdu Hotel, and the room was quite spacious with a direct ocean view. I visited the Silver Beach, but unfortunately, I didn’t get to see the tide recede, which was a bit disappointing. After four days of eating and drinking, my trip came to an end.
When taking a boat to Weizhou Island , it’s important to check the departure terminal in advance. The Beihai International Passenger Port is the main terminal, but sometimes it may change due to special circumstances, so be careful not to go to the wrong place.
In Beihai, choosing to travel by electric bike is very convenient, but be sure to compare prices and vehicle conditions among several rental companies to avoid being ripped off.
In December, Weizhou Island is not very crowded. Riding an electric scooter across the island, it only takes about twenty minutes to get from one attraction to the next. The weather is just right—not too hot and not too cold.
