OMG, I actually found a Hobbit fairytale cottage by the beach in Wenchang!

Sisters! This hidden gem of a city in Hainan, Wenchang, is full of surprises! Coconut groves, rocket launches, and seaside windmills were already amazing enough, but I stumbled upon a beachside Hobbit cottage! A fairytale come to life, every snap feels like a scene straight out of *The Lord of the Rings*~🔥 Here’s your ultimate guide! —— 1️⃣🚗 **Transportation Guide** **Flight + Train** ✈️ Fly to Haikou Meilan Airport → Transfer to Wenchang Station by train (30 mins, ¥20+). **Self-Drive Rental** 🚗 Rent a car in Haikou and drive to Wenchang (~1 hour). Scattered attractions make driving super convenient. —— 2️⃣🏡 **Accommodation: Watch Rockets from Bed** - **Hilton Wenchang**: ✅ Rocket-themed family rooms with balconies for front-row launch views 🚀 ✅ 5-minute walk to Qishui Bay Beach—perfect for sunrise and tide-pooling! - **Gaolong Bay Seaview B&Bs**: As low as ¥150/person, with ocean views right outside your window! —— 3️⃣📸 **Photo Tips**: Golden hour at 4 PM is magical! Wear a forest-style dress + straw hat, and bring a woven basket for extra charm~ 📍 **Location**: Navigate to "Moon Bay Beach Parking Lot 🅿️", then walk uphill (opposite the sea) for 5 minutes—you’ll spot the Hobbit cottage halfway up! —— 4️⃣🌊 **Must-Visit Nearby Spots** 1. **Tonggu Ridge Sunrise** 🌄: Hike to the summit by 6 AM! A 200m wild trail leads to the viewpoint (wear grippy shoes!) for a panoramic Moon Bay vista. 2. **Stone Park** 🪨: Filming site for *Journey to the West*! Rugged reefs like an alien landscape. Heads-up: ¥30 entry + ¥30 round-trip shuttle (or a scorching 2km walk) ⛱️. 3. **Wen’nan Old Street** 📜: Try ¥2/piece banana-leaf coconut cakes. 4. **Space Science Center** 🚀: Touch real rocket debris! Capture golden-hour silhouettes of launch towers at 4 PM—geeky romance at its finest. —— 5️⃣🍜 **Wenchang Food Frenzy** - **Pushi Town Zuo Bo Cu (fermented sour soup) + Sea Greens** 🌶️ - **Wenchang Chicken** 🐔 - **Old Dad Tea + Pandan Cake** 🍰 6️⃣❌ **Avoid** - Scenic-area coconut rice (hard as bricks). - Vacuum-packed chicken (freshly butchered from markets tastes way better). —— 7️⃣💡 **Pro Tips to Dodge Scams** - 📌 **What to wear**: Skip flip-flops at Stone Park—volcanic rocks are treacherously slippery! - 📌 **Tide-pooling**: Gaolong Bay at 6 PM low tide for moon clams 🐚 and coral treasures 💖. - 📌 **Rocket launches**: Monthly events! Book Qishui Bay or B&B rooftops early for VIP views. —— 8️⃣📝 **My 24-Hour Itinerary** > 06:00 Chase sunrise at Tonggu Ridge → 08:00 Slurp Ba Luo Fen noodles on Old Street → 10:00 Photoshoot at Hobbit Cottage → 12:30 Zuo Bo Cu in Pushi Town → 15:00 Roar of waves at Stone Park → 17:30 Egret-filled boats at Qinglan Port
