⚠️

⚠️ Pitfall Tips

Save money, time & hassle
Prices first, always
At No.1 Market you buy seafood, then pay a stall to cook it — ask both prices before committing.
Skip rock-bottom water sports
Book diving and jet skis with licensed operators; confirm exactly what's included and for how long.
Sunscreen on maximum
UV here is brutal — SPF 50+, reapply often, and wear a rash guard for snorkeling.
Avoid peak seasons
Spring Festival and summer holidays mean crowds and double prices — go off-peak if you can.
Book ferry tickets early
Wuzhizhou ferries sell out and can stop in rough seas — book ahead and check the weather.
