The motor hum of an air-conditioned van dissolves into salt air and gull calls as you step onto the ferry pier for Wuzhizhou Islet. In twenty minutes the shoreline peels away and the South China Sea widens; water the color of green glass dares you to dive in. On arrival the islet lays out two contrasting invitations—soft, white sand that invites barefoot wandering, and a small inland world of dense tropical growth that holds trees older than many coastal resorts.
