Our day trip to Weizhou Island was a journey of discovery, as the volcanic isle welcomed us with many attractions apart from its natural beauty.
The mysterious isle, a 60-minute drive from Beihai, drew few visitors until it was developed into a tourist attraction recently.
Covering an area of 26.88 sq km, it is believed to be one of the largest and youngest volcanic isles in China. The island was listed as a national geological park in 2004.
