Old streets & a maritime city
Beihai’s arcaded older streets introduce trade and coastal urban life. Look beyond the shop signs at building forms and the city’s changing uses, with time for a meal and a walk towards the waterfront.

Beihai
Beihai combines a historic trading-street setting with coastal downtime. Choose whether your stay is centred on the city or extended by an island journey.
The old street offers a cultural counterpoint to the beaches. Weizhou Island needs ferry planning and preferably its own overnight stay; it is not an activity to add casually at the end of a city day.
The cooler months can suit urban walks. Summer storms and typhoons affect ferries and sea activities; build flexibility into island plans.

Silver Beach & a slower day
Silver Beach offers a classic coastal interlude, best enjoyed without a tight timetable. Swimming and other water activities should follow local conditions and guidance. A beach afternoon can balance a more historical morning rather than becoming another rushed stop.
Weizhou Island
Weizhou adds volcanic coastal scenery and an island stay, with different beaches and village settings. Ferries and weather are part of the route. An overnight often creates a more relaxed experience than travelling out and back while trying to see the whole island.
Time well spent.
2 days · city & beach

3–4 days · add Weizhou

At the local table
Seafood and local noodle dishes fit naturally into the coast stay. Agree seasonal choices, portion sizes and preparation with the restaurant.
Choosing your base
Stay in the city for heritage and food or near the beach for downtime. Island logistics should be confirmed separately from mainland accommodation.
