On West Island, there is a different kind of local life atmosphere, very suitable for a slow-paced life. It is highly recommended to stay overnight for a family trip, slowly stroll around West Island, ride a small electric scooter around the island, feel the sea breeze, and listen to the waves 🌊. It is very healing! Please accept this nanny-level guide from West Island! 📍Location: Xiaoqigang Wharf Self-driving: There is a free parking lot in front of the ticket hall Business hours: 08:00~18:00 (entry stops at 16:00) Tickets: Include round-trip ferry tickets. If you buy tickets online, remember to buy them one hour in advance. Just scan the QR code of the ticket to enter. The ferry ride takes 15 minutes. Transportation on the island 🚗 1⃣️ Electric scooters, many available for rent by the roadside. Feel free to bargain. Prices vary between peak and off-peak seasons. Renting along the coast is more expensive than in the alleys. 2⃣️ Fishing village tour car, opposite the popular coral wall (25/person), you can get on and off at any time during the trip. 3⃣️ Scenic tour car, direct from the visitor center to Niuwangling, no stops in between (35/person). Photo spots 📷 1⃣️ Coral stone wall Walk left from the visitor center to the end to find the popular coral wall. Many girls take photos here. On a good weather day, every shot is a masterpiece! 2⃣️ The lonely big tree Personally, I think this is the best photo spot. There are many colorful boats, and with the coconut grove and beach, it looks like a scene from a Hayao Miyazaki manga. 3⃣️ Niuwang Island This is the highest point on the island. You must go to experience the feeling of overlooking the sea. The view from the top is particularly healing. 4⃣️ Sea book house Walk forward along the fishing village, and you will see the popular 'sea book house' on West Island. You can sit down and borrow a book to read slowly in the sea breeze. It feels very pleasant. Accommodation 🛏️ This time we stayed at the Happy Orange Homestay, a homestay with both beauty and quality. It is not only comfortable to stay in but also great for photos! It is a five-minute walk from the dock, with many dining options nearby, and just a few minutes' walk to the beach, very convenient. The homestay's stylish and simple orange theme is very eye-catching. Every corner has thoughtful details. It also has a swimming pool, perfect for photos, and provides free sea exploration tools and small electric scooters, very considerate. Food 🍜 Regarding meals, it depends on your budget. The prices on the island were beyond my expectations, generally similar to city prices. The islanders are simple and friendly, and you can bargain. Recommended: Dongdong Coconut, Sister Na's BBQ, Sister Li's BBQ, Old Mai's Restaurant. 📒Tips: 1. Check the weather forecast before traveling. The weather directly affects the travel experience. 2. Be sure to do a good job of sun protection. The UV rays on the island are too strong! In short, this family seaside vacation left us with incredibly beautiful memories. Highly recommended to all parents, take your children on an unforgettable seaside trip!

Do not recommend a day trip!! Otherwise, while you fantasize about taking beautiful photos and checking in, you will keep hearing the endless nagging of the naughty child "Mom, why do we have to take photos here" "Mom, taking photos is not fun, I don't want to take them" "Mom, I want ice cream" "Mom, I want to go to the beach to dig sand" "Mom, I want to go catch sea creatures" "Mom, I want to go back to the hotel to swim" "Mom........" At this moment, you will think about sending the child back to the hotel every minute. So for those who are still struggling with whether to stay on the island for one night with the kids, this article can be a reference. Without further ado, here begins my two-day and one-night parent-child travel strategy ✔️Day1: Have a leisurely lunch in the downtown area of Sanya, recommended local old restaurants Longji Roasted Duck or Mengji Roasted Duck Qiong Cuisine. Around 14:00 in the afternoon, go to the island at an off-peak time, check into the Happy Orange Homestay for a short rest, rent a tricycle for a tour: Internet-famous Coral Wall—Wooden Plaque Heart Wall—Niuwang Island to watch the sunset and catch sea creatures. Have dinner at Na Jie's barbecue, and continue to have fun in the homestay pool after a full meal. ✔️Day2: Sleep until you wake up naturally, walk to the Coral Old House - Sea Library - Cultural and Creative Hall - Lonely Tree by the sea, play until noon and return to the downtown area. If time permits, you can also check in Tianya Town. 🎫About transportation and tickets: Tickets + round-trip boat tickets can be purchased on a certain platform for 92 yuan/person, Hainan ID card holders can buy tickets on-site for 85 yuan/person, children and students for 48 yuan/person. If you drive yourself, park at Xiaoqi Port Wharf, the underground parking fee is 8 yuan/day. After arriving on the island, homestays generally provide free two-wheeled electric scooters. If you can't ride, you can choose the islanders' small sightseeing car (with the islander as the driver), the cost is 50 yuan/vehicle, and the use time can be negotiated. 🏨About accommodation: The homestays on the island each have their own characteristics. Families with children must choose homestays with swimming pools, which is very important! The appearance-conscious mother chose the Happy Orange Homestay, which is a five-minute walk after getting off the boat, with many surrounding restaurants, and just a few minutes' walk to the beach. The homestay's fashionable and simple orange theme is very eye-catching, with clever ideas in every corner, the whole house is smart, which the mother is very satisfied with. There are free tools for catching sea creatures and electric scooters provided, as well as a photogenic swimming pool with a full atmosphere. 🍔About dining: The prices on the island are much friendlier than I imagined, generally the same as the dining prices in the downtown area. The islanders are simple and friendly, and you can also bargain. Remember to choose restaurants run by locals! In summary, West Island is suitable for a slow visit, especially for families with children. Slow down and feel the beauty of the small island, and you will gain a different travel experience.
