2025 Wenchang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

Don’t go to Sanya anymore, the cultural city of Wenchang is also worth discovering! When I first met Wenchang, I realized that it is the location of the youngest space launch site in my country. In fact, this is also one of the three major historical towns in Hainan and the most famous "overseas Chinese hometown". Here you can find vast oceans, stunning rocket bases, old streets, arcades, winding rivers... This old city is full of charming French style. In addition to Sanya and Haikou, the lesser-known Wenchang in Hainan is also worth a visit in winter. - 🏖️【Play Recommendations】 ◼️Wennan Old Street Wenchang River runs through the city, with modern buildings on one side and arcades that have weathered the vicissitudes of time on the other. These buildings condense the historical imprint of that era. - ◼️Puqian Old Street Located in the northernmost town of Wenchang, there is also a building with a mottled history. What’s different from Wennan Old Street is that this place retains the original appearance of the old street. You can ride a bicycle here and take cultural blockbusters in minutes. - ◼️Mulan Bay It consists of Mulantou, Mulan Bay and a vast hinterland of 30 square kilometers. There is the Mulan Lighthouse supported by reefs, standing tall between the blue sea and sky, and there is also the sparsely populated and beautiful Windmill Beach. If you want to play in the water, please be careful not to go to the deep water area. There are many corals on the beach and it is easy to scratch your feet. - ◼️Dongjiao Coconut Grove Scenic Area Half of Hainan Island’s coconut production is in Wenchang, where the most beautiful and largest coconut groves are also located. More than 500,000 coconut trees form a natural barrier on the beach, and the air is filled with the fragrance of coconut chicken. When you come here, you must buy a few coconuts for a few dollars, which are really sweet and filling, or the coconut cake for 3 yuan. - 🏖️【Must-try food in Wenchang】 ◼️Wenchang Chicken The first of Hainan's four famous dishes, the most traditional way to eat it is to boil it in water, and there are other ways to prepare it, such as salt-baked and simmered in liquor. - ◼️Baoluo powder The biggest difference between Baoluo rice noodles and Hainan rice noodles is that the noodles are thicker and are served with bone broth, so it is known as the "Hainan Udon". - ◼️Dregs vinegar Dregs vinegar is a traditional folk snack in Wenchang, Hainan. It is made from the lees left after brewing wine, boiled with a little chili, garlic, oil, etc. It tastes sour and spicy and is very appetizing. The one in Wenchang Puqian is the most famous! The sour, spicy, sweet and fresh taste will make you linger. - ◼️Dad's Tea If you want to enjoy morning tea in Guangdong, then you must try Lao Ba Tea when you come to Wenchang. You can enjoy a relaxing afternoon by choosing your favorite snacks.

This is a place we stumbled upon on the first day of our self-driving trip. We, who didn't make any strategy at all, saw a few cars going down a small road in a certain road condition, so we followed. We happened to meet a local person who told us to keep driving down to the beach! So we had the first big surprise of the first day of self-driving! Unfortunately, because we were too hungry, we didn't play for long and left. Everyone must prepare enough dry food for the island self-driving, otherwise there is nothing to buy on the road! The location is at the end of the map, navigate to Huweiling, and go down along the arrow when you arrive. The big surprise is by the sea, and you can also see the lighthouse. In addition, not far from the Mulan Bay, there are many cars and vendors on the side of the highway. You can ignore them directly. There is no scenery as I said here, and there are particularly many people. The penultimate picture was taken here. For friends who like to play on less crowded beaches, I suggest you don't make any strategy, just drive on the island tourism highway, and go to see when you see a small road into the sea. There must be a place to surprise you.

As the sun sets on it last evening in Gaolong Bay I’m a little sad. It’s so beautiful and peaceful here, I could have started longer.

The day was full of enjoy in beach. Attent beach volleyball, tug of war, and a game i don’t know the name😁 but the unknown game was full lot of fun. The weather help us to enjoy our day. The food of beach bbq was so delicious. The most funny things was dance part😂😂, everyone enjoyed a lot. Cloud weather, beach bbq, beach sports everything made our day enjoyable.

My one day tour of sanya was a memorable journey of my travel history. Playing basketball, badminton, tug of war and had a lots of fun with my beloved seniors and juniors. The main thing is i fall in love with the beauty of snaya, just amazing and nature. i wish i got chances to go sanya again and again. Love Sanya❤

Title: 5 Days and 4 Nights in Hainan I Stayed in the "Maldives of China"! Relaxing for Just Over 2000 RMB Per Person, the Hidden Island on Day 4 Was So Beautiful It Should Be Reported… You think Hainan is just about Sanya Duty-Free Shops and crowds? Wrong! I just got back from Hainan, 5 days and 4 nights, basking in the sun, walking on fine sand, drinking freshly picked coconuts, and even sneaked into a glassy sea that you can’t find on any map— at that moment, I suspected I had wandered onto the set of "Life of Pi." Day 1: Arrive in Sanya, the first breath of air tastes sweet As soon as the plane lands, a wave of heat hits you, but it’s not stuffy! Hainan’s heat is the warm sunshine on your skin, After dropping off my luggage, I headed straight to Yalong Bay— the sand here is as white as flour, walking barefoot feels like stepping on cotton! I ordered an iced young coconut at a seaside café and stared at the waves for an hour, not checking my phone once, anxiety instantly vanished. At night, I checked out the First Market night market: Recommended: Hejie Fried Ice, Aju Seafood Processing, Qingbuliang! Spent 80 RMB on a tropical feast, sweating from the spice is the real thrill! Day 2: Wuzhizhou Island day trip, the water is so blue it looks photoshopped Don’t listen to people saying it’s "over-commercialized," as long as you get there early at 7:30 for the first batch, the whole island is your private swimming pool! ✅ Must-do: Snorkeling (280 RMB/person) — clownfish swimming right by your face, colorful coral; Houhai Village surfing (90 RMB/session) — even beginners can stand up, super patient instructors; Electric island tour car (138 RMB) — drive to "Sunrise Rock," photos will blow up your social feed! ⚠️ Warning: Food on the island is expensive! Bring your own snacks and water. Day 3: Wenchang’s hidden secret revealed! 99% of people haven’t been to this sea It took me three days to find this treasure—Wenchang Mulan Bay! Navigate to "Tongguling," climb to the mountaintop viewing platform, and suddenly an emerald sea bursts into view, the beach curves perfectly, like God drew it with a ruler! In the afternoon, I rode an electric scooter through the coconut groves at Dongjiao Coconut Forest, every snap looks like a filter from the movie "Love in a Puff." Stayed at a local guesthouse at night, the owner treated me to freshly caught grouper, so fresh my tongue tied! Day 4: Wanning Riyue Bay + Shenzhou Peninsula, surfing & cliff sea views are legendary Woke up and went straight to Riyue Bay to learn surfing! No need to go to Hawaii, the waves here are steady, and the coach teaches you hand-in-hand, I fell 8 times, but stood up on the 9th and surfed 10 meters—moved to tears on the spot! In the afternoon, moved to Shenzhou Peninsula, walked along the coastal trail to the "Lighthouse," blue sea and sky on the left, rugged reefs on the right, the breeze made me feel like a movie protagonist. Day 5: Wrapping up in Haikou, Qilou Old Street + Dad’s Tea, full of local life On the last day, slowed down and strolled through Qilou Old Street. Nanyang-style architecture + graffiti walls + creative shops, a cup of "Undersea Coconut" milk tea for 10 RMB, sweet but not cloying. Experience local tea culture at a tea house with Dad’s Tea: shrimp dumplings, egg tarts, sticky rice chicken, quail eggs stewed with meat, a pot of tea plus a pile of snacks, 25 RMB per person and you’ll be stuffed. 💰Cost reference (excluding airfare): Accommodation: 4 nights ≈ 800 RMB (3 nights in Sanya + 1 night in Wenchang) Food: 80 RMB/day, 400 RMB for 5 days Tickets + transport + activities: about 900 RMB Total: around 2000-2300 RMB per person, easy and stress-free vacation! Hainan isn’t just the "overcrowded Sanya," if you’re willing to slow down, it will give you— sunshine, sea breeze, and the long-lost freedom. Wuzhizhou Island Yalong Bay

When I arrived at dusk, the beach was almost empty. After pitching the tent and lighting a bonfire, at 2 a.m. the Milky Way descended, the lighthouse beam intertwined with starlight, and a long exposure on my phone captured stunning starry sky photos. *Tips: Navigate to "Mulan Bay Campsite," free parking available, nearby villagers sell fresh coconuts (5 RMB each).* 2. **Be a Surfer at Wanning Riyue Bay** Riyue Bay, popularized by the show "Summer Surf Shop," has gentle waves perfect for beginners. I spent 200 RMB renting a board plus 2 hours with a coach. The first time I stood on the surfboard, behind me was the coconut grove road, ahead the blue sea and sky, instantly understanding what "freedom on the wave crest" means. *Tips: Surf shops are concentrated in Tianxin Village; recommended times are 8 a.m. or 4 p.m. to avoid strong sun.* 3. **“Coastal Movie Set” from Shimei Bay to Shenzhou Peninsula** This **30km coastal road** is rated as "Hainan’s most beautiful aerial photography spot."

Cycling the coconut grove trails at dusk, the light and shadow were dappled like the Land of Oz. 5. **Shoot “Supercar Blockbusters” on Sun Bay Road** Near Sanya, Sun Bay Road winds in an S-shape along the mountain and sea. Rent a convertible (300 RMB/day), put on sunglasses, with the gradient jelly-like sea as the background, friends on social media all asked if I had gone to California’s Pacific Coast Highway. --- **📸 Photo Guide: 3 Spots to Instantly Become a Travel Blogger** - **Mulan Bay Windmill Coast**: Shoot at 6 a.m., white windmills in the morning glow framed with the ocean. Use a wide-angle lens at a low angle to include beach rocks. - **Riyue Bay Sea Gate**: After 4 p.m. with front light, surfer silhouettes and coconut grove road form a dynamic composition.

New energy vehicles are convenient for charging (charging pile coverage along coastal road reaches 92%), but SUVs are recommended as some wild sandy beach roads can cause sedans to bottom out. 2. **Avoid Peak Travel**: Prices triple during Spring Festival/National Day! Recommended months are March-May or September-November, fewer people, beautiful scenery, hotel average 200 RMB/night. 3. **Navigation Settings**: **Set waypoints in segments** (e.g., "Mulan Bay → Shimei Bay Sea View Pavilion") to avoid navigation errors directing you onto highways. 4. **Free Benefits**: All viewing platforms and beaches are free to enter, even camping at Mulan Bay is free. --- **A final little surprise**: Near Wenchang Mulan Bay, I accidentally found a wild sandy beach called "Baohu Jiao" (Tiger Embrace Corner). The reef rocks look like a crouching tiger, and at low tide a coral secret realm appears. Locals dig sea urchins here. At that moment, I suddenly understood—the beauty of Hainan East Line is half in the guide, the other half hidden in those corners you stumble upon by chance. **Feel free to leave a comment to get the detailed route map PDF~👇** (Continuously updating Hainan’s off-the-beaten-path experiences, follow me so you don’t get lost!)

The Song Family Ancestral Residence is located in Gulu Garden Village, Changsazhen Town, Wenchang City, Hainan. It is the ancestral home of the Song family, which has had a significant impact on modern Chinese history. 🌴 Historical Background - The Song Family Ancestral Residence was built by Song Qingling’s great-great-grandfather Han Ruxun during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. It features a brick and wood structure, facing southwest to northeast, with a two-courtyard layout. - Three generations of Song Qingling’s ancestors—her great-great-grandfather, great-grandfather, and grandfather—lived here. Her father, Song Yaoru, was born here in 1861. 🚗 Transportation: Starting from Haikou, you can drive yourself and reach the Wenchang Song Family Ancestral Residence in about 1 hour. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hainan along the way; the roads are smooth and traffic is convenient. Alternatively, you can take the high-speed train to Wenchang Station, then transfer to local buses or taxis. Taking the bus allows you to better experience the local customs and culture. 🏠 Attractions: The Song Family Ancestral Residence is nestled in a peaceful rural setting, with ancient-style architecture that seems to tell stories of the past. Inside the residence, historical photos and artifacts of the Song family are displayed, allowing visitors to deeply feel the dramatic changes of that special era. Next door is the Song Qingling Exhibition Hall, which details the great and legendary life of Song Qingling—from her upbringing to her outstanding contributions to women and children’s causes, as well as to the country and nation. Every exhibit inspires deep respect. 📜 Stories: This is the origin place of the Song family. Song Qingling and her sisters stepped from here onto the broader world stage, leaving a profound mark in politics, culture, and many other fields. Their stories inspire generation after generation, especially Song Qingling’s love for her motherland and her persistent pursuit of justice, shining like a brilliant star in the long river of history. 🏨 Accommodation: It is recommended to stay in hotels or guesthouses in downtown Wenchang. For example, the Wenchang Luneng Hilton Hotel offers a beautiful environment, complete facilities, and attentive service. There are also some unique guesthouses where you can experience local life, and the prices are quite affordable. 🍱 Food: Wenchang Chicken is a must-try! The skin is smooth and the meat tender, paired with a special dipping sauce, the taste is absolutely delicious. Also try the fermented pomace vinegar, which is sour and spicy and whets the appetite. The seafood fermented pomace vinegar is full of the fresh flavor of the sea. Don’t miss Dongge Rice Cake either—soft and glutinous rice cake combined with sweet coconut milk, sweet but not greasy. 🎫 Tickets: The ticket price for the Song Family Ancestral Residence is very affordable, around 15 yuan. Seniors over 70 enter for free. 🕙 Opening Hours: 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Please plan your visit accordingly. Here, you can not only appreciate the charm of history and culture but also enjoy delicious food and comfortable accommodation.

It's only a 30-minute ride on China's bullet train from Haikou. The site is amazing! It was a great experience! ❣️ #LetsGoToChina #ChinaTourism

On a week-long business trip to Wenchang, food, accommodation, and other essentials were paramount. I spent a long time choosing a hotel. The hotel's ambiance was crucial, considering I'd be staying for several days. The hotel offered excellent value, a great location, and was surrounded by delicious restaurants. Location: Near Wenchang Middle School, convenient for shopping. Next door are Juhexiang Chinese and Western Tea Shop and Laoba Tea Shop. They're delicious and affordable. The Wenchang noodles are thin and juicy, and they also offer beef jerky, which I prefer. Hotel Name: Ritz-Carlton Rooms are excellent. The room was warm and elegant. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and the latex mattress was incredibly springy. Lying down felt like being enveloped in a cloud, and my sleep quality skyrocketed. It also had a standard desk and chair, making it comfortable for working on my computer. The bathroom had separate wet and dry areas, and the toiletries were high-quality, with plenty of attention to detail. Most importantly, there were no mosquitoes buzzing at night, which was a welcome relief. Food Xing Zhou Fang I recommend Xing Zhou Fang, which is only open at night and always packed. The seafood porridge and stir-fried black-bone chicken with sand ginger are truly excellent. The fresh and sweet seafood, with a hint of pepper, is absolutely delicious. The average cost per person is 50 yuan. Juhexiang Chinese and Western Tea Shop The tea shop is affordable, with a portion around 8-10 yuan. The Wenchang dumplings are delicious, the broth is deeply flavorful, and the pan-fried dumplings are incredibly crispy and tender. They make their own dumplings, not frozen.

If you’re planning a trip to Hainan, I highly recommend exploring Haikou → Wenchang → Qionghai → Sanya. Each stop has its own charm, and together they create the perfect mix of culture, nature, and food. ✨ Highlights of My Trip: • Haikou – A city full of local vibes. Don’t miss their 老爸茶 (Laoba Tea), where locals gather over tea and dim sum-style snacks. It’s the best way to start the day slowly, just like a Hainanese. • Wenchang – Famous for Wenchang Chicken (海南四大名菜之一). The beaches here are quieter, making them great for long walks. • Qionghai – Known for its tranquil countryside and river scenery. Perfect if you enjoy cycling or a relaxed boat ride. • Sanya – Tropical paradise! From golden beaches to mountains overlooking the sea, every sunset here feels magical. Best enjoyed with fresh coconut in hand. 🌅 Views You Shouldn’t Miss: • Sunset at the coastline (Sanya Bay & Qionghai lakefront are especially stunning) • Mountain + sea view combo (try Luhuitou Mountain in Sanya) • The peaceful fishing villages around Wenchang 🍴 Local Flavors Worth Trying: • 老爸茶 (Laoba Tea) – A must for breakfast or afternoon tea • Wenchang Chicken • Dongshan Lamb (Qionghai specialty) • Hainanese Rice Noodles (抱罗粉, 文昌粉) • Fresh tropical fruits (mango, coconut, passionfruit everywhere!) 🌍 Why I Loved It: This trip gave me the best of both worlds: laid-back mornings sipping tea with locals, and breathtaking evenings watching sunsets melt into the sea. The food is soulful, the views are unforgettable, and the island vibe is simply unmatched. 👉 Highly recommend Hainan if you want a trip that combines beautiful nature, authentic flavors, and real local culture. #travel #beachlife #staycation #thingstodo

#chinatravel If you think all beaches feel the same, Qishui Bay will change your mind. Hidden along Wenchang’s coast, this quiet bay greets you with silky sand, crystal-clear water, and the kind of peace you didn’t know you needed. Start your day with a barefoot walk as the sunrise paints the sky. Jump into the calm waves for a refreshing swim, or grab a paddleboard and glide over water so clear you can see the seabed. Feeling adventurous? Kayak along the bay’s gentle curves or explore nearby fishing villages where life moves at the ocean’s pace. When the day winds down, find a spot on the shore, sip fresh coconut juice, and watch the sunset melt into the horizon. Qishui Bay isn’t just a beach — it’s the perfect reason to slow down and stay a little longer.

#chinatravel Far from the crowds, Qishui Bay in Wenchang offers a stretch of golden sand kissed by the South China Sea. The calm, shallow waters make it an idyllic spot for swimming, snorkeling, or simply wading while the sun warms your skin. Adventurers can rent a kayak to explore the bay’s curves or paddleboard over its glassy surface. For a slower pace, enjoy a beachside hammock, savor fresh coconuts, and watch fishing boats glide across the horizon. At sunrise, the bay glows in soft pastels; at sunset, it turns to shimmering gold — a natural show best enjoyed with a camera in hand. Qishui Bay is not just a destination, but a gentle reminder to slow down, breathe deeply, and let the sea’s rhythm guide you.
