Shenzhenes now have another option to enjoy a one-day island tour, as a new sea route from Shekou to Zhuhai’s Guishan Island opened Tuesday.
Operated by Oceanus Group, a 50-minute ferry will take visitors to the famed island, where they can overlook the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.
According to the schedule, there is one ferry for Guishan leaving Shekou at 9:40 a.m. The return ferry departs at
10:50 a.m.
Visitors can also choose to use the Dong’ao Island-Shekou line to make a stop at Guishan Island.
A single ferry ticket costs 120 yuan (US$17.34) per head and can be purchased through the “鹏星会” (ID: pengxinghui-HY) and “招商蛇口邮轮母港” (ID: cmhk-xl) WeChat accounts or at the cruise center.
Guishan Island is 23 nautical miles away from Shenzhen. Several historical relics and two ecological parks are scattered around the island. It also boasts mouthwatering seafood.
