The July 11 patch will have 3 major highlights:
- the release of the "young girl" body size/costumes
- new story quest/dungeons
- and the ocean map/naval combat
- and that 4th tab is just for the IRL fest they hold... not relevant to in game stuff.
This is just meant to be a broad overview, and is by no means comprehensive. As of right now, no news on Yihua release date. They are working on it.

As you can see the team has been hard at work with revamping outfits and such for the
I haven't heard anything on there being a body change ticket being available, but I am sure it is just a matter of time.
I quote from this here: wuxia.qq.com/webplat/info/news_version3/5012/5013/5014/5015/m3486/201706/601669.shtml:
Q:男号怎么变少女?
A:只要你有一个少女心,和一颗照性丹就可以变少女。
Q: How to go from being a guy to a young girl?
A: So long as you have a youthful girl-like soul and a transformation ticket(?) then you can become a young girl.
There's also new idle poses, deer mount, etc. etc.
Story Quest: wuxia.qq.com/cp/a20170622tdqlyy/index.shtml
New story quest is to be released, though there's no news on there being a level increase (just as with last winter's story update). My Chinese comprehension is a bit low for non-colloquial speech, so I'm not going to translate the plot (no spoilers either that way). You can preview the game cutscene on that website. It's pretty intense.
The link also includes a preview of the:

Some interesting points:
Lots of visuals and hype over the new musical compositions for the update. Currently they have screenshots for 9 of the islands, with the promise of more to explore. (Yihua Island will be one of them when that arrives)
You can see some pretty pictures of these islands here: wuxia.qq.com/webplat/info/news_version3/5012/5013/5014/5015/m3486/201706/600063.shtml
6 of the islands are placed close enough to the mainland so that they will be safe zones, but the rest are free-for-all neutral zones.
Haihe is a location I am not familar with, but Haihe, Hangzhou, and Dongyue (TX map) will have NPCs or something that allow you to teleport to specific islands.
There will be autopathing on the sea, though it will be slower than manually steering.
There seems to be no "blue diamond" teleport spots on the ocean map, so it may be difficult to revisit specific islands.
Ships currently can carry 5 people. They are planning on adding bigger ships. I'm assuming it is going to work a bit like houses, where you can give ppl permissions to joing your crew/enter your house.
Ships will be upgraded using housing materials.
Can also obtain better ship parts by exploring/trading on the ocean map.
Some more info on ship building: bbs.duowan.com/thread-45766340-1-1.html
If you don't own a ship you can work on NPC ships.
2 main tasks exist: steering and working the cannons.
There will be a food and ammunition resource management component.
Shipwrecks will result only in loss of the goods you are transporting, not in the loss of the vessel.
English characters will not be allowed for ship names.
Main goals of sailing is to obtain resources and trade them; then defend yourself from other people that may attack you for the resources or just from crappy weather.
There will be various factions that you can trade with, I am assuming this will have changing prices and the like.
Pirates. You can be one. 'nuff said.
They are working on adding side activities; and they will be adjusting the current daily/weekly activity schedule to account for that ("lessening the burden", so to speak).
There will be a new currency to manage all of the trade that occurs out at sea: Song money (EN name pending).
Song money will be a bound type of currency, and can only be used for bound items.

There will be some form of personal island/home base (not sure how many people this can/will be shared with) that you can customize with your spoils of war and such.

You cannot willy nilly jump into the ocean. There are only designated diving zones for that.

- new dungeon (similar to the lvl 90 dungeon where you have to challenge class based bosses, i.e. WD themed, SD themed, etc.)
- the new legendary lvl skill effects from gear enhancement
- and the T5 PvE gear
