Any bros book gal from XCD and later bring her to ZH for one night for LT before? The next day, she will go back to XCD.

Consider the damage, if XCD MM is 500rmb for LT + ferry (40 x 2 = 80rmb to and flo) + bus to ZH (65rmb x 2 = 130rmb to and flo) + entrance fee to XCD (60rmb). Total damage will be 770rmb. More or less about the same price as ZH right?

Yes, some of the gals are willing to cos they will take the opportunity to shop at ZH (since travelling expenses covered) since its more fashion (clothes and handphone accessories).

So far i have never done that b4. Unless u really like the company of the MM, otherwise i think its not a good idea to book them to come to ZH. If just spend on handphone accessories, still cheap, if clothing then the prices will vary.

My frd told me base on his few years experience, somewhere near the moon cake festive season, also a nice period to visit XCD. The weather is turning cooling and its the beginning of off peak (exclude 1st week of Oct).

Best of all, if u order beers/drinks at the pub near the beach, every 5-15mins interval u will see big scale fireworks (those u see in msia during Chinese New Year displayed by household that lasted 1-3mins or so) just so near yet so far. A very clear and nice view.

There are Kong Ming Deng released by tourist, etc and seeing them floating up and slowly vanished in the sky. U also can purchased them at the pub. The price for a big scale firework cost about 500-800rmb (I might not remember clearly cos when I asked the price i got no intention to buy and not during moon cake festival season). For the price of Kong Ming Deng, i think should be less than 50rmb bah cos sg during Chinese New Year only sell S$2-3 each but smaller one. XCD Kong Ming Deng is hugh, i think at least haf to 3/4 body length bah. There are also smaller fireworks that cost much cheaper and affordable just for fun.

So for brothers keen on fireworks, y not give it a try. Cheers!!!

Was there in XCD during the weekend before mooncake festival. I was travelling from GZ with some friends, took us 5/6 hours to get there (bus/ferry/taxi) . The island was packed with people, as we didn't pre-book our hotel, almost can't find a place to stay for the weekend. At the end we have to split up and stay in different hotels, I paid RMB600 for a seaview room. I was told by my hotel, travel agencies in GZ are offering promo package for something like RMB300 per person including all transport, hotel, seafood.

Nothing much to do here on the island other than relaxing by the beach, enjoying cheap seafood/drink, massage and 'Bonking'. There are lots of BBS on the island to sextisfied our bonking need, we must have visited more than 15 of them, mostly small shops with around 5 to 10 girls, I only seen 2 bigger one with more than 20 girls. Quality of the girl mostly 4-6 occasionally 6.5 (IMO), was quoted 300 for ST and 600 for LT from most of the BBS. Anyway forget about LT, it's a busy weekend, no girls want to do LT, if they say yes it's a bluff, they will confirm leave after 1 shot. Also, dont expect too much of service from the girls.

Also understand from one of the MMS, the authority is cleaning up the island, all the BBS will probably be gone by nexy year.

not sure about from GZ airport, since we were already in the city for few days. the route is like:
1. 广州省汽车站——台山汽车站——山咀港
2. 广州省汽车站——山咀港 (direct)
3, 广州天河客运站——台山汽车站——山咀港
both route cost about the same (i think bus fare less than 80 in total cos i didn't pay).
Sorry I do not have the time table, all I know is that more frequent bus for route 1 or 3 compare to route 2. We use route 2 to get there and route 3 to get back to GZ.

I also cannot remember the hotel name, some local chinese name... good thing is you can walk in and ask them to show you the room before deciding.

Bro Dragonfruit, thks for ur info. Too bad u din take note of the hotel u stay. Is ur hotel in the first row nearer to the beach or 2nd row? From ur hotel looking at the sea, is it more to the left side, middle or right side of the stretch of hotels?

Actually I am on the second row, but since I am staying on 5th floor. And the building in front of me is a 3 story shop, one beside is another 2 stor restaurant so not blocking my view. There is a small coffee table n chairs in the room by the glass window. Can relax there or even screwing the bbs girl with a view.

Yes, Starting from March onwards to June, off peak period. Juz avoid July to early Oct. Everything will be very expensive especially July and August. Mar and Apr, the weather is still cooling. Meimei reasonably stock, so no issue. Anyway, prices of transport had gone up. Last year early Nov (off peak period), coach from ZH to ferry terminal (SZMT) is 65rmb. Ferry to XCD is 40 or 45rmb. Bus to the entrance of XCD unchange (10rmb). entrance fee to XCD had increased. Now 60rmb.
