The most asked-about heavenly town! Wanning is truly the ultimate island paradise!

Just finished my Hainan island loop trip, and Wanning completely won me over! Coconut tree-lined roads, glass-clear waters, surfing beaches… A laid-back vacation heaven where you can snap Instagram-worthy shots in minutes~ Save this super comprehensive guide to explore without any pitfalls👇 🏝️ TOP 6 Must-Visit Spots in Wanning (With Photo Ops) 1️⃣ Sun River Scenic Bridge • A hidden beach surrounded by sea on three sides! Shells blanket the shoreline—walking barefoot in the waves is pure therapy. Aerial views look straight out of a comic. 2️⃣ Shimei Bay Beach • Admire the "jelly sea" from Guanhai Pavilion, then head down to the beach camp! Sip coconut water at La Plage and swing by the Goofydog swing—every shot oozes vacation vibes~ 3️⃣ Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse • The iconic spot from *Lost in the Stars*! But don’t miss the coconut tree-lined road—rent an e-bike to cruise through it. At dusk, catch a tangerine-hued sunset at Sunset Bar—romance overload 🌄. 4️⃣ Mountain & Sea Drifters • Rocky shores + crashing waves + cliffs! Chill under the trees listening to the ocean, or snap panoramic bay views from the hilltop platform—niche but photogenic~ 5️⃣ Riyue Bay • The trendiest hotspot! Surf and café-hop in one go. Must-visits: the coconut tree road and Rongchuang Chapel. At night, vibe to live music at 216 Beach Bar~ 6️⃣ Shanqin Bay • Black reefs + Swallow Cave = instant "mini Iceland"! Wear a white maxi dress for moody dark-themed photos—absolutely stunning! 🗓️ 3-Day, 2-Night Lazy Itinerary **Day 1**: Arrive in Wanning → Qiaohai Ranch (rice fields + grazing cows) → Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse → Sunset Bar for dusk views → Dinner at DEDECO. **Day 2**: Shimei Bay’s Guanhai Pavilion → Jiuli Bookstore → Sun River Beach → Mountain & Sea Drifters. **Day 3**: Surf at Riyue Bay → Explore Shanqin Bay → Head home~ ✈️ Transport + Stay + Food Guide • **Transport**: Fly to Haikou Meilan Airport! Take a 1hr high-speed train to Wanning/Shenzhou Station, or rent a car for more freedom. • **Stay**: The Shimei Bay Le Méridien is a no-brainer! Step right onto the beach, enjoy sunrise breakfasts + paddleboarding—pure vacation bliss. • **Food**: 🍜 *DiaDia Coconut Chicken*: Sweet coconut broth with tender chicken—lick-the-bowl delicious. 🍧 *Taiqiong Zao Po Cu*: Spicy-sour hotpot with seafood—soul-stirring flavor. 🥥 *Street-side Qingbuliang*: 10 yuan for a bowl of coconut milk packed with a dozen toppings—the ultimate summer cooler!
