Wanning Fairy Pool: A Guide to Escaping into the Wilderness

Depart early in the morning to avoid crowds. Navigate to "Wanning Fairy Pool Waterfall" (near Riyue Bay). Walk across the moss-covered stone steps and first admire the crimson "Fairy Pool" cliff inscription (calligraphy by Master Wei—a must-photo spot!). The pool's water sparkles like jade, with fish visible in the shallows and deeper areas suitable for swimming (caution for weak swimmers). During the rainy season, the waterfall rushes vigorously, while in the dry season, it’s as calm as a mirror—each season has its charm. In the afternoon, buy freshly opened coconuts (¥5 each) from local vendors and sit on the giant rocks by the pool, listening to the babbling water. If you meet a local granny, you might get to taste wild bananas (given freely, not sold). On the way back, detour to Riyue Bay Haimen Coconut Workshop for a striking contrast between mountain and sea. > - Mosquito repellent is a must! Wear anti-slip water shoes—some stone steps lack guardrails. > - No entrance fee, free parking, but no changing rooms (change into swimwear in your car). > - No restaurants nearby, so bring snacks and take your trash with you. #Yuchuan Seaview Hotel #Hidden Gems of Sanya #Off-the-Beaten-Path Wanning #Healing Moments in Nature
