Frequently Asked Questions

Travelers must take a speedboat or chartered ferry from Dongshan Wharf in Huizhou or Yangmeikeng Wharf in Shenzhen, as there is no public bridge or direct passenger ferry service.
Visitors can explore volcanic rock formations, swim in natural tidal pools, snorkel in the surrounding waters, and hike through abandoned coastal military tunnels and bunkers.
A full day trip is sufficient to see the main beaches and military ruins, though many visitors choose to stay overnight for camping and stargazing.
There is no general admission ticket to enter the island itself, but visitors must cover the cost of their round-trip speedboat charter and any specific equipment rentals like snorkeling gear or camping tents.
The island is best suited for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and campers who enjoy rugged natural environments and basic amenities rather than luxury resort facilities.
The island is not wheelchair accessible, as it features uneven volcanic terrain, steep hiking trails, and sandy beaches without paved pathways or specialized facilities.
The optimal time to visit is between May and October when the weather is warm enough for swimming and snorkeling, though travelers should avoid days with active typhoon warnings.
You should bring reef-safe sunscreen, insect repellent, sturdy water shoes for the rocky shores, and sufficient drinking water, as island shops have limited inventory.
Speedboat services are strictly regulated by local maritime authorities and will be canceled during high winds or typhoons, requiring you to reschedule your transfer directly with your boat operator.
