Xijiao Sunset Point, Weizhou Island
西角（涠洲岛日落观景点）
A fishing village and small pier at the northwest corner of Weizhou Island, facing the open sea of Beibu Gulf. It is widely recognized as one of the island's best sunset-viewing spots.
Xijiao is located in the northwest of Weizhou Island. It is a small village that retains its fishing-village character, with a small pier and a stretch of fine sand beach. In the evening, the sun sets directly into the Beibu Gulf. Fishing-boat silhouettes and volcanic-rock reefs make for great photos, and it is often scheduled in the evening along the island's ring route together with Shiluokou and Dishui Danping. Admission is free, and it is open all day. The village has many guesthouses and large seafood restaurants. It is about 20 minutes by e-bike from Nanwan. Note: it gets dark quickly after sunset, so return slowly along the country lanes. Reefs are slippery at low tide.
