How to Choose a Homestay on Haxian Island? Wang Laowu from Haxian Island Teaches You How to Avoid Being Ripped Off During Your Haxian Island Trip

For many friends from Northeast China, Haxian Island is already quite familiar. After all, as the most beautiful island in the Northeast, it is highly recognized by everyone. If you have visited Haxian Island, you must know that tourism there operates on an all-inclusive model where accommodation and meals are bundled. Usually, after arriving on Haxian Island, you stay and eat at a fisherman's courtyard (yujia yuan). Therefore, the quality, reputation, and service of the fisherman's courtyard are very important. With the development of Haxian Island tourism, there are now over a hundred fisherman's courtyards on the island, but many of them are operated on a short-term lease basis. Because island tourism services are long-term operations, short-term leases focus more on profit, so the quality and service often suffer greatly. Therefore, when visiting Haxian Island, you should choose a reputable fisherman's courtyard. Today, Wang Laowu, the honest fisherman courtyard owner from Haxian Island, will introduce how to choose a homestay on Haxian Island so that you know how to avoid pitfalls in your travels.

Actually, we fully understand the negative reviews about Haxian Island online. For those of us who run our own houses as fisherman's courtyards, it is also quite challenging. Some short-term lease fisherman's courtyards will resort to any means to lure customers with low prices, and what they promise is not the same as the experience when you arrive. This makes it difficult for those of us who operate our own courtyards honestly. But sticking to reputation and quality is always the right path; repeat customers and word-of-mouth are the most important. Owner Wang Laowu has been running a homestay on Haxian Island for over ten years, relying entirely on word-of-mouth from tourists, and thus he is very popular. Especially, his humor and warm-heartedness are particularly endearing.

For the all-inclusive island tourism model, you spend a lot of time at the fisherman's courtyard, so you interact more with the owner. A warm-hearted owner will greatly enhance your trip. However, for some fisherman's courtyards on Haxian Island, once you arrive, they basically leave you alone, and you can't find staff when you need them at the house. Although the peak season is busy, Owner Wang Laowu and his staff always handle any issues reported by guests promptly.

Every year, many tourists visit Haxian Island, so Owner Wang Laowu has specially arranged staff at Pikou Port to handle ferry tickets and reception services for his booked guests in advance. He communicates with guests the day before about ferry schedules (ferry times are affected by tides, passenger flow, and weather, so they can only be confirmed after 3 PM the day before) to provide the best ferry time for arriving on the island. Rooms and meals are prepared in advance for guests. Therefore, when booking a room, a deposit of 50 RMB per person is required. This is used to book ferry tickets at Pikou Port and also to confirm that you are definitely coming, so Owner Wang Laowu can arrange for the fishermen to prepare fresh seafood for you that day. This ensures everything is secure.

For reasons of natural weather or if guests have genuine issues that do not cause significant losses to the fisherman's courtyard, Owner Wang Laowu will return the deposit. After all, with so many tourists, special situations are inevitable, and traveling is meant to be enjoyable. However, before paying the deposit, you must confirm that the fisherman's courtyard is actually operated by the owner themselves to ensure service and quality.

The fisherman's courtyard run by Owner Wang Laowu is a three-star rated fisherman's courtyard in Dalian City. It is also the closest among the few three-star fisherman's courtyards on Haxian Island to Haxian Island's Golden Sand Beach. The service quality is evident to all tourists. If you have any questions about Haxian Island, you can seek advice and help from Owner Wang Laowu. After all, providing quality service to more tourists is what makes this business enjoyable. Travel itself is a joyful thing, and engaging in tourism services is a joyful profession.

For tourists visiting Haxian Island, the price for a standard room (with private bathroom) at a fisherman's courtyard is 240 RMB per person per day, including meals and accommodation. This is an average and reasonable price. Because the business has been running for many years, many tourists ask about price first. Comparing prices is of course reasonable, but for tourism, the travel experience is more important. So reliability might be more important than price. However, if all options are reliable, price remains a convincing factor.

At Pikou Port, the dock for Haxian Island, some people claiming to be relatives of island fisherman's courtyards may approach you very warmly and recommend unknown fisherman's courtyards.
