The colorful wooden house with sea view villa
phoenix wooden house villa, the first look looks very beautiful, is a colorful wooden house, it is very nice to take pictures on the trail, each house is an independent small villa, Open the curtains and walk out of the balcony, which is the invincible sea view, great! You can also see the super beautiful sunset. Watching the sunset on the balcony in the evening, the mood is beautiful~
There are flowers and trees around the house. It feels close to nature, and there are buzzing and bird screams throughout the day.
This wooden house villa is a little higher on Qianmeng Island. The scenery is better. It is not far from the seaside. There is a battery car in the scenic area. It is more convenient to play, but we prefer to walk.
Wonder.
Maoming Fangji Island | An island that hasn't been developed much.
Fangji Island is located in Maoming City. In the early years, fishermen would release a chicken on the island to pray for a safe return, hence the name. You need to take a boat from the pier to the island, which takes 30–40 minutes. The water here is noticeably clearer, and the woods are denser, so it won't be too sunny. You can choose a tour bus or rent an electric bike to get around the island. We recommend electric bikes, as they are convenient and free, and some places are not accessible by tour bus.
You can buy tickets directly at the pier. Adult tickets are CNY 180, and child tickets are CNY 100 (infants held in arms are also counted).
🌟 Transportation: The ticket includes round-trip ferry and island admission. The ferry is a small passenger ship, not a speedboat. It's more comfortable, but not as exciting, haha. It takes about half an hour to reach the island.
🌟 Accommodation: We didn't stay on the island, but we found many wooden villas on the island, halfway up the mountain, with an unbeatable sea view. It must be very beautiful, which is a bit of a pity 😷😷 If you want to come, be sure to arrange your time and stay on the island for one night. A friend told me that if you come on weekdays, CNY 600 can include round-trip ferry tickets, island admission, and villa accommodation, which is a great deal! 💪💪
🌟 Food: Food... is not recommended. You know, scarcity increases value, and monopolies are like this, ridiculously expensive. You might as well bring some dry food to make do. 🐶🐶
🌟 Fun: Mainly for the scenery!! ☀☀ It's really beautiful. The day we went, the sun was shining, and it was beautiful no matter how you looked at it, haha 😄 We highly recommend renting an electric bike to ride around the island, leisurely and free. Ride and play wherever you want, stop to take pictures when you see beautiful scenery, and enjoy yourself~ 👻👻
Suitable for weekends that are not holidays ✌✌

One of the most popular islands in Maoming, have you been there?
🎍In Maoming Dianbai District
There is a beautiful and mysterious diving tourist destination
Here, you can find the grandeur of mountains and the magnificence of the sea, and it is also known as the 'Hawaii of China'
It is the largest island in Maoming, Fangji Island, now also known as Dream Diving Island?
🎍A remote island away from the crowd, the bluer and clearer the water, Fangji Island has one of the highest water visibility in Asia, with surrounding sea visibility reaching 8 meters. It is recognized as the best diving base in Guangdong. It takes about thirty minutes by boat to reach the island, and the waves are quite big. The island is not large,
🎍but it is better to choose a tour bus. Walking can be quite tiring when the weather is good, but now the sun is scorching. Overall, the experience is quite good. There is still a lot of space for development projects on the island. Any random photo taken looks like it has a filter. It's a great spot for taking photos. If you want a short trip, you can come and experience it.

Guangzhou Suburb Tour | Travel Guide for Fangji Island in Maoming
Decided to go there during the National Day holiday on a whim, it was too late to buy tickets online, so I bought them at the pier, with adult tickets at 180 RMB and children's tickets at 100 RMB (even small infants being held need a ticket).
Transportation: The ticket includes round-trip boat fare and the island entry fee. The boat is a small passenger boat, not a speedboat, which is quite comfortable but not thrilling haha, it feels like it only takes about half an hour to reach the island.
Accommodation: Didn't stay on the island, but upon arrival, I found many wooden villas on the hillside with unbeatable sea views, definitely very beautiful, a bit regretful. Friends who want to come should definitely arrange their time well and stay on the island for a night. I heard from a friend that normally, 600 RMB can cover the round-trip boat fare, island entry fee, and accommodation in a small villa, which is super cost-effective!
Food: Food... well... I don't recommend it, you know, scarcity makes things precious, monopolized industries are all like this, ridiculously expensive. It's better to bring some dry food to make do.
Fun: The main thing is to enjoy the scenery!! *It's really beautiful, the day we went there was very sunny, everything looked beautiful, haha, I highly recommend renting an electric bike to ride around the island at your leisure, carefree, stopping wherever you want to play, stopping to take pictures whenever you see a beautiful view, comfortable~ I want to come a second time, suitable for weekends outside of holidays.

Maoming | Fangji Island | Escape the hustle and bustle of the city
An underrated domestic island! The whole city is quite niche, and the Fangji Island tourist area, which requires a boat ride, is even more so.
There are very few guides about Fangji Island, and the pictures look so-so. I didn't have high expectations, but the result! Few people and beautiful scenery! Of course, a sunny day also adds a lot of points!
🌊 Fangji Island, originally named Wanzhou Island, also known as Qianmeng Island, is an island 14.5 kilometers away from Dianbai District of Maoming, Guangdong, which requires a boat ride.
⭐ In addition to the island tour, there are also some water activities to choose from, such as diving, sea fishing, swimming, etc., but this time I only saw sea fishing, and other activities are probably only available in summer.
🏖️ Travel Tips
🔹 Boarding the island: Only a round-trip boat ticket is needed, 164 RMB per person (available both on-site and online, it's more cost-effective to book online at least one hour in advance), the earliest boat to the island departs at 10 am, and the latest boat leaves the island at 5 pm.
🔹 Island transportation: There is a shuttle sightseeing car, 50 RMB per person, and you can also rent a small electric car, but I didn't take any, walking around 8 kilometers, it's very comfortable to walk and take pictures. I took the 10 am boat to the island and left at 4 pm, walking the whole way, and there was enough time.
🔹 Dining: There are basically no places to eat on the island, just some small shops, and the commercial traces are not heavy, it is recommended to bring your own dry food.
🔹 Accommodation: There is also accommodation on the island, I observed that it's quite deserted and the environment is average, it's completely possible to stay in Dianbai District of Maoming and take a day trip to the island.
📸 Photo Check-in Spots (according to the counterclockwise walking order)
1️⃣ Yanyu Coffee Square & Xingyue Building, which is the area with the glass house and stairs, looks especially good when the weather is nice!
2⃣️ Blue Coast, with large columns imitating Athens, and various cute marine life sculptures.
3⃣️ Lighthouse, on the mountain, if you want to go, you need to climb for a while, the location of the lighthouse is quite narrow, not easy to take pictures, need drone photography.
4⃣️ Tianhou Palace, located higher up, the view of the sea is also excellent.
5⃣️ On the road near the pier, you can take pictures of the lighthouse and the long embankment.
