As someone who travels to Hainan every year, I sincerely want to offer some advice to those who are planning to visit Wanning soon!! 1️⃣ Before traveling to Wanning, be sure to check the weather. Hainan is like spring all year round, and the weather and humidity are the most important factors that will directly affect your travel experience. 2️⃣ It is currently the off-season, and after May Day until the 7th, the prices for flights and hotels generally decrease, so book your tickets to Wanning in advance. 3️⃣ Wanning does not have an airport, so you can choose to land in Sanya or Haikou and then take a high-speed train directly to Wanning. It is recommended to arrive at Shenzhou Station, which is closer to the scenic area hotels. 4️⃣ The attractions in Wanning are scattered, and it is a very chill coastal city. It is recommended to visit one attraction per day to fully enhance your experience. 5️⃣ For accommodation, you can choose homestays in Riyue Bay or hotels in Shenzhou Peninsula/ Shimei Bay. Depending on your budget, Riyue Bay is more crowded and noisy, while the two bays' hotels are quieter and more suitable for a vacation. 6️⃣ Riyue Bay is a must-visit, a gathering place for handsome guys and beautiful girls. Recommended internet-famous spots: Haimen Coconut Grove, Grom Cafe, 216 Bar. 7️⃣ The nightlife in Riyue Bay is more suitable for young people. In the evening, you can go to Haimen Street, where many trendy men and women gather in small bars, and the seaside is also lively with many people taking their children to catch seafood. 8️⃣ The Sunac Chapel is particularly photogenic, the same church as in the TV series 'Summer Flowers', facing the garden and backed by the sea, with a very high photo success rate. 9️⃣ The evening in Shenzhou Peninsula is not to be missed. Corona Sunset Bar or the lighthouse are excellent spots for sunset photography, and you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Coconut Palm Road. 🔟 Qiaohai Ranch is a must-visit on a sunny day. With light-colored clothing and sufficient sunlight, you can take amazing photos in minutes! 1️⃣1️⃣ The Hard Bar in Shimei Bay is a must-visit. Ladies should prepare a set of pink outfits, which are really fitting for the scene and great for taking beautiful photos. 1️⃣2️⃣ Shanqin Bay should be visited during the high tide period from 2-4 pm. When the waves are big, whether at Swallow Cave or on the rocks, the photos turn out particularly well. 1️⃣3️⃣ The cost of living in Xinglong Town, Wanning, is really not high. If you want to try Hainanese snacks, be sure to take a stroll there. However, if you want to try a wider variety, it's best to go earlier, as they might be sold out by around 9 am. 1️⃣4️⃣ Some photogenic small shops 📍 Riyue Bay: Haimen Coconut Grove - 216 Beach Bar - Sunac Chapel 📍 Shenzhou Peninsula: Qiaohai Ranch - dedeco - Corona Sunset Bar 📍 Shimei Bay: Guanhai Pavilion - Hard Bar Pink Beach

Hey, everyone 👋! I just got back from a special forces-style trip to Wanning! Before I left, I thought that a seaside city would be expensive, but when I got there, I realized that it was a paradise for "budget special forces" 😍! After three days, my wallet was still full. I even wondered if I was doing something wrong! On the first day, I landed in Wanning and went straight to Shenzhou Peninsula 🏖️. I thought that coconuts by the sea would be ridiculously expensive, but I was able to get a huge coconut 🥥 for only CNY 10 from a roadside stand, and I drank the sweet coconut juice until I was full! I sat on the beach, enjoying the sea breeze, and ate a large box of mango sticky rice 🥭🍚 for CNY 15. What a wonderful life! On the second day, I went to Shimei Bay. Here I come, surfing 🌊! I was worried that a surfing lesson would be outrageously expensive, but I found a local surf shop where I could learn for two hours for just over CNY 200. Plus, the instructors were super patient and taught me hands-on 👐. I fell into the sea countless times, but when I finally managed to stand up, I was so proud! After surfing, I found a small shop where a plate of seafood fried noodles was only CNY 20, and there were so many ingredients that I couldn't finish it all 🦐! On the third day, I went to Xinglong Town to eat, drink, and have fun. It was a foodie's happy planet 🎉! Pandan cake and Southeast Asian snacks cost an average of CNY 30 per person, and I ate so much that I had to support myself to walk! Before I left, I bought a big bag of freshly baked coconut cakes for only CNY 25 💰! This trip to Wanning was such a surprise! I thought I was going to spend a lot of money, but I had a great time even though I didn't spend much 🥳! Everyone, save this guide and just go for it 🚀!

**[Must-Visit Attractions]** 1. **Shimei Bay**: 7 km of blue sea and silver sand, open to the public for free! With seawater visibility of 10m+, you can see starfish and coral while snorkeling, but don't expect to find any pearls. 2. **Riyue Bay**: A paradise for surfing enthusiasts and a training base for the national surfing team. A 2-hr lesson costs CNY 298. Can't learn it? At least you can take a photo pretending to surf. 3. **Jiajing Island**: An original, uninhabited island with seawater so clear it looks like it has a filter. Snorkeling requires a group tour, but don't bring sand back as a "souvenir." 4. **Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse**: A popular spot for Internet-famous photo-ops. You need to wade through 200m of water at high tide to reach it. We recommend wearing flip-flops. Don't wear high heels like others, or you might end up with a "flip-flop drifting adventure." 5. **Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden**: 3,200 species of tropical plants. You can even find glowing mushrooms on a night tour. Vanilla orchid ice cream is CNY 18. After eating it, you'll feel like you're "floating in the air." --- **[Money-Saving Accommodation Recommendations]** 🏡💰 1. **Wan Ning Pearl Hotel** (CNY 100–300/night): An economic option in the city center with convenient transportation, perfect for those who "wake up and play." 2. **Riyue Bay Hostel** (CNY 80/bed): Includes breakfast, and the rooftop terrace is great for stargazing, perfect for backpackers. 3. **Nanyan Bay Fisherman's Homestay** (CNY 150–300/night): Experience the life of a fisherman and go out to sea to catch seafood, but don't expect to catch "Haidilao." --- **[Nearby Food Recommendations]** 🍜🦀 1. **Hele Crab**: One of the four famous dishes of Hainan, full of roe and meat. Steaming is the freshest way to prepare it, but don't ask the crab about its "last wishes." 2. **Dongshan Mutton**: The meat is tender and not gamey. Braised in brown sauce or sliced is delicious. Eating it will help you withstand the strong sea breeze. 3. **Hou An Noodles**: Wide noodles + yellow lantern chili. CNY 10 a bowl, a standard breakfast. Remember to wipe your mouth after eating, and don't let the boss see that you are from out of town. 4. **Xinglong Nanyang Flavors**: Seven-layer cake + curry fish balls, CNY 50 per person. Fruit is half price after 18:30 in the evening, making mango freedom a reality. --- **[Nearby Fun]** 🏄♂️🚣 1. **Dahua Cape Beachcombing**: Pick up bread starfish at low tide. Fishermen sell freshly opened coconuts for CNY 5 each, but don't expect to find a "mermaid." 2. **Shaka Surf Club**: Learn to surf for CNY 298. Don't panic if you fall into the sea, just think of it as a "free face wash." 3. **Wuchang Wharf Seafood**: Freshly caught and cooked, CNY 15/dish for processing fee, but don't order too much, or you'll be too full to move. --- **[Humorous Tips]** - Apply three layers of sunscreen, otherwise you'll be sunburned into a "lobster" and even the crabs won't recognize you. - Rent an electric scooter for CNY 30/hr and ride along the coconut grove road, but don't ride too fast, or you'll miss the scenery. - Remember to bargain when buying seafood. The boss asks for CNY 200? Boldly reply "CNY 100!" (Don't be afraid, they're used to it). **Summary**: Wan Ning = blue sea + surfing + seafood = high-value island tour! Hurry up and set off, don't wait for the peak season when people are crowded and it becomes "Wan Ning People Sea"! 🚗💨

Hainan was the only trip that the kids missed the most. The Qingming Festival + 2 days off happened to coincide with the kids’ birthday🎂. This time we chose Wanning · Hainan. It was another departure that the kids were looking forward to [!] 🏨Hotel recommendation: Wanning Xinglong Ramada Hot Spring Resort: The location is a bit remote, but not far from the Botanical Garden and Luwan Ranch. It focuses on cost-effectiveness. It has the luxury of a resort hotel surrounded by gardens, but also has the broken feeling of living in an abandoned manor. [Chin] Gift Seaview B&B (Riyuewan Branch): Located on a relatively independent hillside, the scenery is very beautiful, and there are lights at night. The round hut we stayed in is a memory spot for children [Monkey] 📝Notes: The surrounding area is an unpaved road, so it is difficult to pass other cars. Please remember to contact the B&B in advance. If you drive, you can park in the nearby parking lot (rechargeable) and be picked up by an electric car. The Westin Shimei Bay Resort, Wanning: The core of this trip is of course to choose a sea view resort hotel where you can lie down. The 3-day and 2-night package is very cost-effective, and the hotel butler will also send a detailed guide in advance. [Tableware] The hotel restaurant is a bit expensive, but there is a commercial street at the door with many choices. You can rent a tuk-tuk [Purse] for 30/hour in the hotel to eat seafood nearby. 🎯The free parent-child activities are as full as the class schedule. I don’t have time to consider paid activities and Jiajing Island. It’s still a bit cold to go out to sea in this season. 🚉Transportation strategy: Landed in Haikou and rented a car for self-driving 🚗🚗🚗, picked up and returned the car at the airport, there were many car rental companies to choose from and they were very cheap. J's faith collapsed when he tried an electric car for the first time ⚠️. The car was late for delivery and the battery was 20%+. He fell into a vicious circle again. The charging piles 🔋 were either not found or were broken continuously. There were no charging piles at the hotel. How important is it to choose a reliable car rental company [Hematemesis] (If you are not driving, you can make an appointment in advance for the hotel's shuttle bus to Sanya Airport and Wanning High-speed Railway Station🚌) [1:00]DAY1: The coastal highway is beautiful, but battery anxiety always accompanies it [Pushpin] ✅Swallow Cave: Parking by the roadside overlooks the entire rocky beach. Walking to the beach, the children have no resistance to the feeling of reunion after a long separation, and they collapse directly on the beach. The waves hitting the rocks and splashing the water temporarily took away the anxiety about battery life along the way [BlindfoldMonkey] 👍Most Recommended: After walking two steps forward, I found a small cave suitable for taking photos. I wonder if it is the main cave of Yanzi Cave. → The original plan of going to Dahuajiao was delayed by the electric car and there was no time to settle down. →The Sun River Scenic Bridge is ordinary. →The Ring Island Tourism Highway is not like the pure coastal highways in Yantai and Weihai. Most of them are not close to the sea or separated from the beach by dense forests. Without the drone perspective, it looks a bit dull. ⏳If you don’t have enough time, you can consider walking back to the highway (I’m talking about myself [Spoof]) 🍽The restaurant in the hot spring hotel closed at around 7pm, and the nearby food court was also sparsely populated. The internet crowd was somewhat not used to the island lifestyle. [9:30]DAY2: The Zoo and Botanical Gardens are bustling during the day, and the Sun Moon Bay at night is two different worlds [Pushpin] ✅Luwan Ranch: Free hotel tickets🎫 (tickets are also given for consumption at the beverage shop at the entrance). Abandoning the free Qiaohai Ranch, there is always a reason for charging. There are lawn swings, coconut grove camping cars and various small ideas, which are the style of wealthy [Purse][Purse][Purse] farmers. 🕙The animals are released from their cages in batches after opening at 10 a.m., and gradually the lively atmosphere of a ranch is created. Feeding them for 10 yuan per serving is enough for several rounds of feeding. There are always enthusiastic people holding food and being chased by sheep, crying loudly. ✅Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden-Cocoa Adventure: Listen to interesting popular science knowledge, see various plant fruits, smell the scent of vanilla cocoa, touch the leaves and flowers, pick cocoa fruits, taste fresh fried and brewed cocoa, and the children can't wait to make chocolate from start to finish. This three-dimensional perception combination will make the children have a wonderful connection with the memories in the book. 📝Notes: A family should buy one study package (corresponding to one chocolate-making quota, and the projects can also be purchased separately on site) plus a single ticket. Although it is marked to depart at the hour, you can actually leave as you arrive. 🍽Recommended dining: Xinglong Nanyang Flavor (Xinglong Main Store) Just get in line early ✅Riyue Bay: Another world just across the highway from the quiet B&B, 🍺The colorful world of bars and night markets has nothing to do with me, but the waves and fireworks in the night are quite interesting, and the street vendors selling fireworks are really good at making money [FrightenUU] [9:00]DAY3-DAY5: From Riyue Bay to Shimei Bay, the sky has not been clear for a long time, and finally it cleared up [Pushpin] After a rainy day, the daytime experience of the B&B was greatly reduced. We stopped by the Sun Moon Bay Island Church for a look. There were many unfinished buildings and construction sites on the island [×]. Parking fees were charged on the island. How should I put it? It would be better to go directly to the Westin Happy. 🍽Recommended dining: Hupo Vanilla Duck·Seaview Restaurant (Riyue Bay Branch) In addition to the duck, the colorful ice bean curd must be praised [ThumbsUp] ❤ Westin Resort Hotel: Let’s review why we can only go to the beach to dig sand when we have time [GlassesUU] 🌟Dream Bubble Show: The water was a little cold but the kids were not afraid at all. They were shivering with cold but still reluctant to leave. 🌟Wooden stick bread: The scene of a group of people toasting bread is a bit authentic. It is baked very successfully and it is very delicious to eat. 🌟Balloon Park: Children surrounded the adults and handed out balloons, just like a moving galaxy, which was inexplicably joyful. 🌟Bamboo Fencing & Pine Cone Elf: After two craft classes, you can take the cute little man home, and both adults and children will feel a sense of accomplishment. 🌟Paddle board under the bridge: Once in the water, the kids refused to go out, paddling round and round, and the small water motor they kicked became the focus of the whole scene. 🌟Paper pulp painting: I had to work hard on the last morning class. The pink and gradient colors were so hard that the paint couldn’t dry and was left at the airport. 🌟Hotel Trip Moments: The photographer has some skills, the emotional value is maximized, half an hour in the morning on the grass and beach, freezing what it means to be happy on a cloudy day. 🍽Dining recommendations: Sweet coconut chicken (Shimeiwan store) The chicken is really tender [OK] M1 Coffee Fantasy Factory: Take a look around and have a meal [Clapping] Shimei Bay Longfu Seafood Restaurant Mantis shrimp is so big [EarPlugMonkey] ======== The day before, I made a wish to see Shimei Bay under the clear sky. In the last few hours, I got what I wanted [Heart], Blue sea, blue sky, coconut trees, small island, beach and sunshine, Finally, it looks like a vacation.[100] Finally, Stop at the Shimei Bay Observation Deck [RoundNails] and take a look. Still can't keep the holiday time [HandsUp]

🚩Day 1: First encounter with the sea! Start the happy mode from the "Surfing Paradise" Take a taxi directly to Riyue Bay after getting off the plane. The road is lined with green rice paddies, and the waves crash on the beach in the distance, instantly washing away all your worries! First, go to a seaside cafe and order a coconut smoothie 🥥, watch the surfing masters "dance" on the waves, and those who are eager to try can go directly to the surf shop on the shore. A 1v1 experience class costs 200+ for 1 hour, and the coach will take you to catch the waves, so it's super safe~ Stay in a B&B in Riyue Bay at night, and the beach is right outside the door! Go to the night market next to "Shaka Surf" for some skewers. The roasted oysters are covered with minced garlic and smell so good that they make your mouth water. Buy a coconut jelly and take it back to your room. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves. This is what a vacation should be like~ 💡Tips: Wear long-sleeved sun protection clothing for surfing! Don't ask me how I know (the painful lesson of sunburned and peeling skin😭) 🚩Day 2: Drive along the coastal road! Capture the coastline in your camera Rent a small electric scooter (the B&B owner usually has them for rent, 50 yuan/day), and set off from Riyue Bay to Shimei Bay! Along the way, you will pass the "most beautiful coastal road". Stop whenever you see a viewing platform—the left hand is layers of waves, and the right hand is green plants all over the mountains and plains. Just lean on the railing and take a picture, and it will be a healing picture from a movie~ At noon, eat Zaopo vinegar next to the "Phoenix Nine Miles" bookstore in Shimei Bay. Throw a few slices of beef and conch into the sour soup, and eat it with Hainan rice noodles until you can't stop! In the afternoon, go snorkeling at Jiajing Island (sign up for a local small group, including round-trip speedboats). The sea water is so clear that you can see small fish swimming by your feet. Remember to bring a waterproof phone case to take underwater vlogs~ 💡Tips: Pay attention to safety when taking pictures on the road! Choose an open road section and ask your partner to watch the car~ 🚩Day 3: Break into the tropical rainforest! Unlock the "Nanyang style" in Xinglong Take a taxi for 20 minutes to Xinglong Town, and you'll feel like you've traveled to Southeast Asia in an instant! In the morning, go to "Longyuan Coffee Plantation" and learn how to make hand-brewed coffee with the master. The freshly picked coffee beans are ground and smell so good that you'll want to stomp your feet. Pair it with a colorful coconut shredded roll, which is super sweet and goes well together~ In the afternoon, go into the Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden, learn about cocoa trees and pepper vines with the guide, and capture the shots of the "Rainforest Train" shuttling through the green leaves. The success rate is 100%! Stroll through the Xinglong night market in the evening, and you must try Indonesian fried noodles🍝, satay skewers, and pack a pandan leaf rice as a late-night snack. It's so fragrant that you'll drool even in your dreams~ 💡Tips: There are many mosquitoes in the botanical garden! Wear long pants + mosquito repellent, don't give mosquitoes a "buffet"🦟 🚩Day 4: Lying down is the real deal! Beach camping + sunset beachcombing Go to Shenzhou Peninsula in the morning, find a less crowded beach to set up a tent, bring a picnic mat and a few bottles of sparkling water, lie down and watch the clouds drift by, occasionally surfers "break through the waves", and take casual photos that look like magazine covers~ Go to "Laoyehai" at 4pm to go beachcombing (check the ebb tide time in advance!), carry a small shovel to find crabs and shells, children squat on the shallows to dig sand pits, and adults take backlit silhouettes next to them. The picture is so heartwarming that you want to freeze it~ Have a barbecue on the beach in the evening, ask the B&B owner to help prepare the ingredients, the aroma of roasted corn and chicken wings wafts far away, and drink coconut juice with the starry sky, perfect! 💡Tips: Wear non-slip shoes for beachcombing! The moss on the reefs is more slippery than an ice rink😂 🚩Day 5: End with shopping and eating! Pack the "freshness" of Wanning and take it home Leave the last day for Wanning City! Go to "Lao Zhai Xiang" in the morning to eat Houan rice noodles. The base is pork offal soup, and the rice noodles are crispy. Add a spoonful of yellow lantern chili peppers, and it's so spicy that you'll sweat and feel super satisfied~ Then go to "Wanning No. 1 Market", buy two strings of local small golden coconuts (10 yuan for 3), and pick some Xinglong coffee and partridge tea as souvenirs. Remember to bargain! Go to Dazhou Island in the afternoon (you can choose a nearby beach if time is tight), take a fishing boat around the island, watch the seagulls flying around on the cliffs, and finally watch the fishermen unload the fish at the pier. Fresh grouper and mantis shrimp can be bought and processed directly. Steam them and they'll be so fresh that your eyebrows will drop~ 💡Tips: Ask the boss to cut the fruit into pieces! It's super cool to just carry it and eat it while walking~ ✨The joy of Wanning is as simple as this: no need to rush to scenic spots, no need to crowd with people, go surfing when you want, lie on the beach and daze when you are tired, even the air is filled with "take it easy"

🚨【Heads up! Don't do these 5 things】 As a five-time visitor to Wanning, practically an honorary islander, let me share some hard-earned lessons: ❌ Don't rent surfboards at the scenic spot entrance! The small shops along Riyue Bay beach offer much better deals. Beginners should take a lesson (RMB 200-300/session). The instructor will help you choose a board and catch waves, 100 times safer than floundering on your own. ❌ Don't trust "wild tide-pooling groups"! I once paid RMB 200 to dig around in some mudflats and found nothing. Later, I discovered Laoyehai (free!), where the beach is covered in small crabs and shells at low tide. A small shovel is all you need! ❌ Don't wear flip-flops while riding an electric scooter! The coastal winds are strong, and flip-flops can fly off (don't ask how I know 😭). Sneakers or Crocs are best. Rent a scooter with a trunk and always wear a helmet securely. ❌ Don't buy fruit at tourist spots! Xiaojinyue at the Wanning No. 1 Market in the city center sells 3 for RMB 10. Sugar apples are sold by the box and are half the price of those on the beach. Ask the vendor to cut them into pieces for easy snacking. ❌ Don't stay too far out! Beginners should choose Riyue Bay/Shenzhou Peninsula. The beach is right outside your door, with plenty of restaurants and surf shops nearby. Even if you crave late-night skewers, you'll find a place. 🌊【Surfing for Beginners: 3 Days to "Wave Rider"】 ✅ Day 1: Choose the shallows of Riyue Bay. The waves are gentlest between 9-11 am. Wear a long-sleeved rash guard and surf shorts (not a bikini! The rocks will scrape your legs). The instructor will teach you the basics on the beach before you hit the water, guiding you the whole time. Don't be afraid to fall! ✅ Day 2: Head to Shimei Bay to try "green waves" (gentle, long waves). Check the "Global Surf" app for wave height (1-1.5 meters is ideal). After surfing, grab an iced Americano at the "Jielang Bu" coffee shop on the shore and watch the pros ride shortboards at "Wave Rider Bridge." Super cool! ✅ Day 3: If you don't feel like surfing, rent a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) and paddle out to sea. Bring some sparkling water, lie down, and watch the clouds drift by. Even more relaxing than surfing. 🍜【100 Restaurants Tested: 8 Must-Tries】 🥥 Breakfast: ▪️ Houan Noodles across from "Shaka Surf" in Riyue Bay. The broth is simmered for 8 hours with pork bones, topped with crispy intestines and yellow lantern chili peppers. Spicy and delicious! ▪️ "Nanyang Flavor" in Xinglong Town. The RMB 20 coconut milk dessert is overflowing with pandan jelly, jackfruit, and sago. Perfect for a hot summer day. 🍤 Lunch/Dinner: ▪️ "Singapore Banana Leaf" in Shenzhou Peninsula. Curry crab with baguette for dipping. The bread soaks up the coconut-flavored sauce. All-you-can-eat for around RMB 100. ▪️ "Old Indonesian Restaurant" at the Xinglong Night Market. The RMB 38 satay skewers are incredibly tender, served with peanut sauce and cucumber slices to cut through the richness. I couldn't stop at just three! 🍧 Sweet Treats: On the way to Qiaohai Ranch, stop by "Dongshan Goat Coffee" for coconut jelly. The owner cracks open fresh coconuts, scoops out the flesh, and layers it on top of milk jelly with crispy coconut flakes. Every spoonful is a taste of the ocean. 📸【5 Hidden Photo Spots: Escape the Crowds】 1. Riyue Bay Road Sign: The best lighting is around 10 am. Stand next to the "Hainan · Wanning" road sign with the waves and coconut trees behind you. Wear a bright dress and let your hair fly for a dynamic shot. 2. Phoenix Nine Mile Bookstore in Shimei Bay: The bookstore's second-floor terrace overlooks the sea. Lean against the white railing and gaze into the distance for a perfect profile shot. Wear light colors to complement the blue and white background. 3. Qiaohai Ranch: Navigate to "Dongshan Goat Village." Walk along the stone path through the rice paddies, where cows graze by the water. Crouch down for a low-angle shot and transform into a Miyazaki heroine. 4. Dazhou Island: Take a local boat tour to this uninhabited island (RMB 200/person round trip). The sand is blindingly white. Find a piece of coral as a prop and create a "Survivor" vibe. 5. Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden: The "Cocoa Forest" on the right as you enter is magical. Sunlight filters through the leaves, creating dappled patterns on the ground. Wear a floral dress and twirl around for a dreamy photo. ⚠️【Local Tips: Take Note】 1. Check the "Global Tide" app for tide times (don't buy tide-pooling tools at the scenic spots; a RMB 10 set of shovel and bucket is enough). 2. Rent a car from "Liandongyun" or a car rental affiliated with your homestay. Check the brakes and battery beforehand. Bring a power bank for coastal drives. 3. Buy seafood at the central market in Hele Town. Fishermen return around 3 pm with fresh catches of grouper and mantis shrimp. Have them cooked at a nearby restaurant (steaming is around RMB 30/serving). 4. Watch the sunset from the beach at the "Le Méridien Hotel" after surfing. The sand is fine, the crowds are thin, and the setting sun turns the water into a shimmering orange. Bring a light jacket as the sea breeze can be cool in the evening. ✨ Wanning's charm lies in its relaxed atmosphere, where you can "waste time" without rushing to see every sight. Five visits aren't enough! Next time, I'll watch the sunrise at Chunyuan Bay and go diving in Nanyan Bay.

💕Hainan Food Guide: Zaopo vinegar hot pot is sour, spicy, and appetizing. The soup base is made from fermented wine lees, and it's a perfect match for seafood. Qingliangbu is a summer treat, with a coconut milk base and more than ten ingredients. Coconut chicken uses Wenchang chicken, three coconuts per pot of soup, sweet and nourishing. The sour noodles are as thin as hair, topped with a special gravy, sour and appetizing. 💕Transportation Tips: Transfer to the high-speed train at Meilan Airport Station to Wanning, it only takes 1 hour, saving CNY 300-500 compared to flying directly to Sanya. It is recommended to use regular platforms for ride-hailing services, as unlicensed taxi drivers often double the price for tourists. Electric scooter rentals can be bargained down to CNY 50/day. Riding from Riyue Bay to Shimei Bay takes about 40 minutes. 💕Shimei Bay Guide: The Guanhai Pavilion offers 360° panoramic views, and the white sandy beach stretches for 6 kilometers. The beach bar offers special cocktails, and there's usually a queue for photos on the ocean-facing swing. Jiuli Bookstore is the most beautiful seaside bookstore in China, with a glass curtain wall directly facing the waves. 💕Shenzhou Peninsula Must-Do: Cycle along the 3-kilometer coconut grove road, with coconut trees forming a natural archway on both sides. The best time to photograph the lighthouse is between 4-6 pm. At low tide, you can walk to the reefs for photos. It's recommended to reserve a spot at the Sunset Bar in advance, order a Mojito, and watch the sunset paint Corona Beach red. 💕Hidden Gems: Shanhai Langren requires a 20-minute hike, passing wild pineapple fields along the way. The mountaintop platform offers views of two bays simultaneously, perfect for drone photography. To visit the Swallow Cave in Shanqin Bay, you need to time it with the tides, as it's only accessible two hours before and after low tide. 💕Riyue Bay Trendy Guide: 216 Beach Restaurant & Bar has a popular infinity pool, and the pure white Rongchuang Auditorium is perfect for wedding photos. Surfing lessons average CNY 400/2 hours, and beginners are recommended to choose the early morning wave period. The night market is open until 2 am, and it's recommended to try fried ice cream and Baoluo noodles.
