Things to do in Leizhou

The gate tower and the city wall look quite impressive from the outside, but it's useless. You can finish the tour in a few minutes. There are mostly food and some goods inside. There is a theater at the innermost part, which should be used for opera performances at night. There is really nothing to see. If you live nearby, you can just walk around and kill time, but forget it if you make a special trip there.

It's a park-like place that's free to enter, but there's almost no facilities to visit, and there's nothing to do except eat. There's a hotel next to it, and it feels like the buildings inside are hotel rooms.

This is definitely a hidden gem of a scenic spot, perfect for taking your time to explore at a leisurely pace, even a full day. It's also great for families. You can buy an annual pass, and surprisingly, the price is the same as a single-entry pass. If the museum's design were a little more refined, the experience would be even better.

There are many different opinions about the origin of the word "Leizhou". However, it was first used as the place name during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty when Chen Wenyu, a Leizhou native, served as the governor of the local area (before the name was changed to Haikang County). Chen Wenyu, who was a wise official, sympathetic to the people, and admired by people of all ethnic groups in the area, was therefore revered as "Leizu" by later generations. The Leizu Temple built to commemorate this good official - and the "Leizhou Drum Change" that was often played here and was called the first of the "Four Wonders in the World" by Feng Menglong in the Ming Dynasty - have also become the most representative cultural symbols of "Leizhou Culture" and are a must-see when visiting Leizhou.

Wu Shi Town has very beautiful scenery, quiet and far-reaching, an ideal choice for leisure and vacation, very beautiful and interesting, with a charming small fishing village, beaches, sea water, blue sky, sunrises and sunsets, so cozy and comfortable.

Sanyuan Pagoda is located in Leizhou City. Sanyuan Pagoda was originally a stone pagoda of Kaiyuan Temple in the Tang Dynasty. It was named Wenbi Pagoda because it resembled a writing brush. The pagoda was destroyed in the Yuan Dynasty. It was rebuilt in the 43rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. Three snake eggs were found when the ground was broken, which was considered to be a sign of "Sanyuan and his brother", so it was named "Sanyuan Qixiu Pagoda". Sanyuan Pagoda Park is free to visit and has free parking. There is a temple in the park to commemorate Chen Shu and Chen Changqi, two upright officials in the Qing Dynasty. Sanyuan Pagoda is now closed for safety reasons.

If you're not interested in water sports, I don't think it's worth going. The scenery is nice, but some areas are under renovation and not visible. We didn't participate in any water sports; we just wanted to enjoy the sea and swim. The beach here is relatively small. Showering costs 25 yuan and includes a towel, and the service was quite good. The water is very clear, probably much clearer than other beaches. Sun umbrellas cost 120 yuan per hour, which is quite expensive. There are also some other spots for taking photos. It's not very meaningful for people like us who don't like taking pictures. Couples might really enjoy it. I don't think it's suitable for families with young children. It mainly depends on individual needs.

Today's experience was great. Although the weather was quite hot, the activities were all very exciting, especially the "Take It All" activity. Lifeguard Jiang Zhaoyang was very helpful and even offered to get an ice pack when I got injured. Coach Chen, who was snorkeling in the shark pool, was particularly helpful and provided professional snorkeling instruction. Although I only played for two and a half hours, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely come back next time.

The Atlantis Aquarium in Sanya is absolutely stunning! The enormous Lost Chambers aquarium makes you feel like you're in an underwater world, with over 86,000 marine creatures swimming in 13,500 tons of natural seawater. The beluga whale interaction is incredibly therapeutic, the jellyfish area is dreamy and beautiful, and every shot in the underwater tunnel is a masterpiece. It's definitely worth the ticket price for a family trip; you can learn something new and experience the wonders of the ocean. Highly recommended!

This hotel is perfect for a chill vacation. The ocean view is unbeatable and definitely worth returning to. The service is excellent, and the hotel feels like a small estate with great privacy. This is why I chose it. If I had to suggest something, I'd appreciate the addition of a high-definition projector with a retractable motorized screen. Also, I'd like to upgrade the hairdryer to a Dyson. Otherwise, it's practically perfect.
