2 review
Shayutang Village is located in Haiwei Town, Changjiang Li Autonomous County, Hainan Province. It is a traditional Li village nestled in the mountains and by the sea. The village is backed by rolling green mountains in the east and faces the Beibu Gulf in the west. The seawater is clear and the coastline is winding and picturesque. The coconut trees in the village, the Casuarina windbreak belt and the cactus community form a unique coastal ecological landscape. The colorful fishing boats moored in the fishing port and the drying fishing nets show a strong fishing style. As a relatively well-preserved Li village in western Hainan, the local houses retain the elements of boat-shaped houses, and the exterior walls of some buildings are decorated with traditional Li patterns. Villagers have made a living from fishing for generations. Every morning, fishermen can be seen returning to the port with their nets. Freshly caught seafood is sold to various places through the village market. In recent years, the village has relied on its ecological advantages to develop leisure tourism, launching experience projects such as catching shells at sea, camping on the beach, and watching the sunset at sea. Fishermen can taste special delicacies such as mackerel and sandworm porridge.

Hainan Round-the-Island Tour | West Line Self-Driving Route Days 6 & 7 | Travel Guide
🔺 Start your 3-day, 2-night relaxing family trip at Changjiang Qizi Bay 🔛
▪️ On the fifth day, we arrived at Changjiang Qizi Bay and chose 📍Xixi Li Homestay, 💰averaging CNY 100+ per person. The sea view from the top-floor suite was amazing❗️ We didn't even want to go inside, preferring to sit on the balcony. After staying in hotels for so long, it finally felt like home. The two-bedroom apartment with a living room and kitchen where we could cook our own meals was so chill.
▪️ This is a supporting residential area of Wanguo Hotel. You can walk to Wanguo Beach to dig in the sand. There is a small outdoor playground where children can let off steam 🛝.
▪️ It is also convenient to drive to the town for dinner in about 10 minutes, and the owners are very enthusiastic and the prices are not expensive. You can also buy some seafood 🦐 and have it processed.
Days 6️⃣ & 7️⃣:
▪️ Shayutang Village Mushroom House
⛱️ Check in at the filming location of "Back to the Field", where you can enjoy the breeze and sunshine freely~ When we went, the small courtyard was booked by someone, so we couldn't go in to visit, so we just wandered around.
▪️ Qizi Bay Dajiao (Big Corner)
The coastline is very long, and there is also a seaside boardwalk where you can stroll along. The red boardwalk contrasts well with the sea and cacti 🌵, making it great for taking pictures.
⚠️ The fruits in Dajiao Park are very cheap, with watermelons at CNY 5 each, cantaloupes at CNY 10 for six, and cherry tomatoes at CNY 10 for a large bag, making it easy to enjoy all the fruit you want 🍉.
▪️ Qizi Bay Zhongjiao (Middle Corner)
You can see reefs and sunsets. How can you miss a sunset when driving on the west line? It's really beautiful to sit on the big reef and watch the sunset 🌄.
▪️ Qizi Bay Xiaojiao (Small Corner)
Located in the westernmost part of Hainan, it is the best viewing point for sunsets over the sea.
🔺 The west line of Hainan Island is not as prosperous as the east line. It is full of quiet little fishing villages. There are few people and it is quiet and pleasant. Let's continue on our way~

🔺How to have fun❓
▪️Dajiao Park
A popular park with large reefs and seaside boardwalks. There are many vendors at the entrance, and the fruits are quite cheap 🍈
▪️Zhongjiao Park
A must-see sunset spot when traveling on the west line. Kids can also dig sand and climb reefs here. The sunset happens quickly, so be sure to arrive early.
▪️Xiaojiao Park
A bit further away, but also the best place to watch the sunset.
▪️Wanguo Beach
Because it is a private beach for the hotel, it is less crowded and has some seaside swings and decorations.
▪️Kaiyuan Beach
The beach behind Kaiyuan Resort is suitable for clamming, with many small reefs 🪨
▪️Shayutang Village
🎬 The filming location of "Back to the Field". It is not far away and you can check it out along the way.
▪️Enjoying Kapok Flowers
Now is the season when kapok flowers are in full bloom in Changjiang. We didn't go to any special flower viewing spots, but we saw a lot along the way. It was the first time I saw kapok flowers. The colors are bright and the flowers are super big. You can pick some up for photos 📷
🔺Where to stay❓
▪️There are two hotels 🏨 in Qizi Bay, Kaiyuan Resort and Wanguo Hotel. We chose [Sicily Seaview Homestay]. We chose a sea view suite for three adults and one child, with a two-bedroom and one-living room layout. Facts have proved that our choice was very wise hahaha
▪️Yi Yi can run around in the room, enjoy the sea view 🌊 while eating fruit, and keep saying "Mom, it's so beautiful, so beautiful"
▪️The homestay butler will also recommend restaurants and travel guides. Some restaurants offer discounts if you mention the name of the homestay, which is very cost-effective.
🔺What to eat❓
▪️There is a Bai Pang Pang food stall at the entrance of Dajiao Park, or there are more choices in the small town a ten-minute drive away. The owners are very enthusiastic.
▪️In the morning, there are also many vegetable sellers at the entrance of Evergrande's residential area. We bought some local sweet potatoes and corn 🌽, which can be steamed at the homestay. They are very delicious~
🔺We had a vacation in advance before arriving in Sanya, and it was less crowded and quieter. We really love this 3-day, 2-night lie-down style baby-friendly trip ❤️

The perfect blue, you can encounter a beautiful sea without going abroad
There is an urgency, called suddenly wanting to see the sea 🌊
·
If you don't go abroad to see the sea during the summer vacation, besides Sanya and Wanning,
there are also some lesser-known immersive places nearby to see the sea.

Mushroom House| A life even celebrities aspire to
| A life even celebrities aspire to. 🌟Highlights:
This is a life even celebrities aspire to, facing the sea with spring blossoms, this is the shooting location of the sixth season of 'Life of Aspiration' - Shayutang Mushroom House
Located in a small fishing village on the west line of Hainan, this is a peaceful life facing the sea🍄, a slow pace of life, plus the comfort brought by the sea breeze, what kind of life do you aspire to🐚
👍Recommendation:
This place has not been discovered by too many people, it is a sea with a strong natural atmosphere, small fishing village, cactus🌵, coconut tree🌴, beach, fishing boat⛴... The sea here is clear and the waves are small, it can satisfy your fantasy of the sea, let you feel the happiness brought by the sea quietly and comfortably
Sometimes being able to face the sea quietly, blowing the sea breeze in a daze is also an extremely happy thing🌴
I really super want to recommend this sea to my friends in the mainland, but I am afraid that this sea will be known by too many people, destroying its tranquility
Step on my little electric donkey, I want to go to the sea with you🌴
