Thought Wanning was already beautiful, until I went to Wenchang…

Yeying Xinghe Aerospace Dream, Wenchang Three-Day In-Depth Travel Guide Exclusive routes + food check-ins + rocket launch viewing guide ----- Itinerary Planning: 3 days 2 nights essence version Day 1: Aerospace Exploration · Chasing the Stars Morning: Tongguling: Climb to the top of the "First Peak of Eastern Qiong," overlook the spectacular scene of Moon Bay and the rocket launch tower in the same frame, and walk through the tropical rainforest on the mountain trail (ticket 50 RMB, sightseeing bus 45 RMB) Stone Park: Free admission! Explore the tens of thousands of years old sea-eroded giant stone array, check in at wonders like "Kunpeng Spreading Wings" and "Stone Turtle Subduing Waves," the roar of waves hitting the giant stones at high tide is truly shocking. Afternoon: Aerospace Science Popularization Center: Touch real rocket models, immersive experience of the launch command process (ticket 100 RMB, reservation required) Yaoguang Viewing Platform: Reserve a seat for rocket launch viewing! If it coincides with a launch period, this is one of the best viewing spots. Dinner: Recommended Longlou Four Treasures Feast—sea urchin steamed egg, salt and pepper lobster, garlic abalone, boiled sea white, fresh to make your tongue tremble! Lige’s authentic seafood stall. Day 2: Coconut Breeze and Ancient Charm · Cultural Stroll Morning: Dongjiao Coconut Forest, cycle through ten thousand acres of coconut sea, drink freshly cut coconut water (5 RMB each), take hammock photos like in "Personal Tailor." Chunguang Coconut Kingdom: DIY coconut candy, taste freshly baked coconut cakes, a must-play for families (ticket 50 RMB). Afternoon: Song Family Ancestral Residence, visit the century-old house of Soong Ching-ling’s family, blue tiles and wooden windows tell stories of modern history (ticket 13 RMB). Wenchang Confucius Temple, pray and make wishes among red walls and green tiles, eat a "Top Scholar Ice Cream" to absorb the cultural aura. Late Night Snack: Slurp a bowl of Baoluo noodles at Wennan Old Street (soup noodles 10 RMB / pickled noodles 12 RMB), paired with fermented residue vinegar hotpot (sour and spicy soup base + seafood mix, about 60 RMB per person). Day 3: Coastal Wild Fun · Culinary Feast Morning: Gaolong Bay, hunt for shellfish in the glass sea, ride beach motorcycles (free admission, water activities charged separately). Global Pier seafood market opens at 7 am! Spotted shrimp at 50 RMB per jin, orchid crab at 80 RMB each, neighboring restaurants charge 10 RMB per jin for processing. Puqian Old Street: Food tasting tour—pan-fried mackerel (with fermented residue vinegar sauce), triangle liu (soft and glutinous coconut filling). ----- Food Special: Wenchang Must-Eats Chishao Pork at Zhongxing Fuji Roasted Meat, honey-glazed char siu with sweet, spicy, and smoky flavor. Wenchang Chicken at Tan Niutian Cici Village Chicken Shop, crispy skin and tender meat, dipped in secret orange sauce. Puqian Linhua Fermented Residue Vinegar Shop, crispy outside and tender inside, paired with vinegar sauce to cut greasiness. Qingbuliang (herbal jelly dessert) at Huiwen Town Night Market 10 RMB per bowl, overflowing with toppings! ----- Accommodation Picks: Watch Rockets and Sea While Lying Down High-end choice: Wenchang Hilton Hotel Qishui Bay prime location. Cost-effective recommendation: Yunjun Yunshu Homestay standalone wooden house + private beach (500 RMB/night), Wyndham Garden Hotel European castle with pool directly connected to the beach (including breakfast 600 RMB/night). ----- Ultimate Bonus: Rocket Viewing Guide It is recommended to look for rocket launch missions with higher probability in the first week of each month; the peak launch periods are June to August and December every year; viewing points near the forest park are free. Traffic control prohibits entry to the core area 3 hours before launch; it is recommended to stay in Longlou Town and walk to the site; Wenchang’s charm lies in the lazy swaying coconut groves, the surging rocket launches, and the vibrant life in the old street’s fireworks. Three days is too short, but enough for you to fall in love with this "cosmic-level" small city! ----- Practical Tips: Transportation Haikou Meilan Airport → high-speed train 17 minutes to Wenchang Station; essential sunscreen + mosquito repellent! Wear non-slip shoes at Reef Park.
