Fresh air,beautiful beaches and wonderful seafood
I went to this island with my family during the Spring Festival.Well,this island is quite primitive and without many attractions,so I suggest you guys stay there for 2-3 days.Anyway,the time that we arrived was noon time,so we decided to go to the nearest restaurant near the coast which is called Shilu.The comment is pretty good,but the serving speed is way too slow.We waited for an hour before the food was served.But,the seafood was very FRESH and TASTY.I strongly recommand the grouper and mantis shrimp.They are WILD and very ECONMICAL.There are a couple of beautiful scenic spots,such as Crocodile Hill and Wucai Beach.I strongly suggest you walk to the best viewing platform instead of taking bus,otherwise,you will miss a lot of scenery along the way.I went to Crocodile Hill in the afternoon,and we walked a long time to the best viewing spot.I was exhausting but impressed by the gorgeous scenery.This island is definetely a great place to head for a walk to stop and take some pictures.The traffic on the island is not convenient,so i suggest you guys rent electromobile.It is the most convenient and passionate way to travel around the island.It was an awesome trip! TIP:IF YOU WANT TO FEEL SOMETHING MORE STIMULATING,I WOULD SAY YOU SHOULD INQUIRE SOME INFORMATIONS ABOUT GOING OUT TO SEA AT YOUR INN.

Quick 2-day visit
Boat is fast (1h), but expensive - 120 CNY one way. You need to pay extra entrance fee of 90 CNY. Island is small and can be seen within 1 day (by bike). There are several beaches around the island, but there are no signs pointing to them (not in English at least). However the governemnt has big plans with this island - build an airport, golf center, make it more known tourist place. However every tourist leaves a lot of trash behind them and beaches are not cleaned that good. For English speaking company, visit Mario's bar (next to Piggybar hostel).
