The fishing village on Weizhou Island is very attractive. It boasts not only charming and gentle scenery, but also simple folkway without pesky salesmen rushing to the tourists, which usually happen in many other scenic spot. Walking through the simple village, we were really excited to find a Catholic Church constructed with a kind of special coral stones, earth tiles and wood. It is a fascinating church, built by French Paris Overseas Catholicism in 1869, with a total area of 774 square meters. It also has affiliated buildings such as monastery, school, hospital and orphanage. Surprisingly, this western-styled church and the traditional Chinese fishing village form a harmonious whole.

How can I get to Beihai from Guilin?

Now, you can just buy a railway ticket in Guilin(Guilin to Beihai), then you will have to change another train in Nanning directly to Beihai. (So you don''t have to buy another ticket in Nanning).

You can get to Beihai from Guilin by train or bus. If you take bus, you can go to Guilin station. Or if you go there by train, at first you should buy ticket to Nanning, then at Nanning railway station, buy ticket to Beihai.
