Wanning Family Travel Guide! A Kid-Friendly Paradise Even Better Than Sanya

Hey everyone! Just got back from Wanning and I have to recommend it to you! This place is a treasure trove for traveling with kids! Glass sea, manta rays, seaside chapel... the atmosphere is amazing, and it’s perfect for relaxing and taking the kids out. Quickly save this guide! 📍Attraction Location: Wanning City, Hainan Province, with nearby attractions around Shenzhou Peninsula, Shimei Bay, Riyue Bay, and more 🚗Transportation to Attractions: ✈️External Transport: Wanning has no airport, so you can fly to Sanya, Haikou, or Boao first, then take a high-speed train transfer. Sanya → Wanning (40 RMB, 40 minutes); Haikou → Wanning (60 RMB, 50 minutes); Boao → Wanning (17 RMB, 15 minutes). It’s recommended to buy tickets directly to Shenzhou Station, which is closer to the attractions. Wanning Station is farther and less convenient. 🚗Island Transport: Renting a car is recommended since attractions are spread out, making self-driving more flexible. You can also take taxis, but they are more expensive; some attractions are connected by bus, but the frequency is low and waiting times are long. 👍Must-Visit Attractions: - Fenjiezhou Island: Although it’s in Lingshui, it’s super close to Wanning! The jellyfish sea is unbelievably beautiful, feeding manta rays with kids is super fun, and there’s an ocean theater show. Kids will have so much fun they won’t want to leave! - Luwan Ranch: Feels like stepping into a fairy tale! Mini ponies, alpacas, and sika deer are super adorable (some animal interactions require a fee). Perfect for taking stunning photos in no time! - Qiaohai Ranch: A natural oil painting-like farm, the afternoon light is amazing! Free feeding of calves and ducklings with kids, enjoy the pastoral fun. - Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse: Full of artistic vibes, the white lighthouse against the blue sea and sky is a perfect spot for family photos. - Shimei Bay Beach & Sea Viewing Pavilion: The beach is fine and soft, the sea viewing pavilion offers fantastic views, enjoy the sea breeze and watch the waves, super relaxing! 🎟️Ticket Information: Fenjiezhou Island requires a boat ticket to enter, adult tickets are about 110 RMB, with discounts for children; Luwan Ranch tickets are about 30 RMB; Qiaohai Ranch, Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse, Shimei Bay Beach, and others are free. 💗Other Tips: 1. Sunscreen is crucial! Prepare children’s sunscreen, sun hats, and sunglasses to avoid sunburn. 2. For feeding manta rays on Fenjiezhou Island, it’s best to go in the morning when the fish are more active; Luwan Ranch has many mosquitoes, so bring insect repellent. 3. Xinglong Town is a food paradise. Don’t miss the Nanyang-style coffee and pastries, plus various seafood stalls with great value! 4. If you plan to go tide pooling with kids, prepare small shovels and buckets in advance, and check the tide schedule before you go! What are you waiting for? Take your kids to Wanning and start a healing and fun family trip!
