Because it's too beautiful!!! The Xisha Islands, a maritime paradise open exclusively to Chinese citizens, boasts poetic "glass seas" and is a dream destination for countless travelers. Having just returned, I'm eager to share this comprehensive guide to help you experience Xisha's incomparable beauty in the most cost-effective way! I. Transportation Guide: Multiple Options for Easy Access (1) Cruise Travel Traveling from Sanya to Xisha by cruise is most travelers' first choice. I highly recommend the "Changle Princess" and "South China Sea Cruise," which offer 5-day, 4-night classic itineraries allowing you to fully experience Xisha's charm, with costs ranging from 6,000 to 12,000 yuan per person. The "Changle Princess" features luxurious facilities and elegant design, providing stable and comfortable sailing with excellent viewing decks. The "South China Sea Cruise" offers spacious accommodations, attentive service, and various room types to meet different needs. For room options, the economical 4-person interior cabin starts at around 6,000 yuan per person - while lacking outside views, it's clean, tidy, and well-equipped. Ocean-view rooms allow you to enjoy the seascape anytime, waking to the sound of waves and falling asleep to the sunset - though more expensive, they're worth it for photos. Cruise tickets include three daily meals, island tours, and various onboard activities, with only bar consumption and special experience activities requiring additional payment. (2) Air Travel For those with limited time and sufficient budget, direct flights from Sanya to Yongxing Island take only about 1.5 hours. Note that this route requires special approval and isn't a regular tourist channel. Tickets start at about 2,500 yuan, making it more suitable for travelers with urgent business or seeking efficient travel. Money-Saving Tips During the off-season (April-May), booking cruise tickets 1-2 months in advance can get you discounts of up to 30%. Bringing your favorite snacks and instant foods can come in handy when you don't want a full meal or get hungry late at night! II. Exploring Attractions: Encountering Xisha's Stunning Scenery (1) Yongle Islands The Yongle Islands are the dazzling jewels of the Xisha Islands, comprising multiple beautiful islets. - Jinqing Island: Here, the beaches are fine and soft, with waters displaying distinct layers of blue and green, like a painter's palette spilled by God. The island is covered with lush tropical vegetation, making it an excellent spot for photos. Walking along the island path, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery where sea meets sky and occasionally encounter adorable seabirds. - Lingyang Reef: As a natural lagoon, Lingyang Reef has a unique ecosystem. At low tide, large areas of reef flats are exposed, where you can observe rich marine life such as colorful fish and various shellfish. Photography enthusiasts shouldn't miss the stunning sunrise and sunset here, when golden sunlight spills across the sea, creating a magnificent canvas. (2) Quanfu Island Quanfu Island is an uninhabited island with snow-white beaches that sparkle in the sunlight, crystal-clear waters, and fish swimming among coral reefs. Here, participate in the solemn flag-raising ceremony in the morning, feeling a surge of pride as the five-starred red flag flies high in the sea breeze. You can also play freely on the beach, build sandcastles, splash in the waves, and enjoy leisurely moments. (3) Yinyu Island Yinyu Island's waters display a magical seven-color gradient that's breathtakingly beautiful. Follow local fishermen's footsteps to explore the island's unique ecosystem and search for giant clam fossils (remember to leave them in place after viewing to protect the environment). In the evening, sit by the sea and watch the sunset paint the sky and ocean in brilliant colors, feeling the serenity of time. (4) Yagong Island Yagong Island is formed from coral fragments. At low tide, abundant marine life hides in the crevices between rocks, making it an ideal time for beachcombing. Be sure to wear professional water shoes to prevent cuts from coral fragments. Here, you can also experience unique fishing village life, visit fishermen's cabins, and learn about their daily work. III. Culinary Feast: Xisha on Your Taste Buds (1) Seafood Banquet In Xisha, seafood is the absolute star! Join the ship's fishing activities (about 3,500 yuan per person) to catch delicious fish like tuna and grouper yourself. Your catch can be prepared free of charge as sashimi, steamed fish, and other delicacies, with fresh ingredients that melt in your mouth, releasing their flavor. (2) Special Dishes - Sea Emperor Porridge: Made with various seafood, this thick porridge absorbs the essence of seafood, with every spoonful full of rich umami flavor, warming both stomach and heart. - Pan-fried Mackerel: Mackerel has firm flesh that, when simply pan-fried, creates a golden crispy skin while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Paired with special dipping sauce, it tastes excellent. - Coconut Grilled Oysters: Fresh oysters combined with rich coconut, then grilled to perfectly blend the freshness of oysters with coconut aroma, creating a rich taste that lingers. (3) Hidden Delicacies At the fishermen's small restaurant on Yinyu Island, be sure to try their signature grouper soup with local yellow lantern chili sauce - tangy, spicy, and appetizing. One bowl will warm your entire body. IV. Essential Tips: For a Smoother Journey Documentation: Apply for Xisha tourism permits through official travel agencies in advance to ensure smooth approval, and remember to bring your ID card. Equipment Checklist: Prepare comfortable water shoes, high-SPF coral-friendly sunscreen, sun hats, sunglasses, and other sun protection items. Due to limited island signals, it's advisable to carry China Mobile or China Unicom SIM cards, as China Telecom users experience poorer reception. Important Notes: Drones are strictly prohibited in the Xisha Islands. To protect the ecosystem, do not remove coral, shells, sand, etc., from the islands, or you may face fines. For those prone to seasickness, apply motion sickness patches in advance. During rough seas, some deck areas may be closed for safety. V. Photography Guide: Capturing Xisha's Beauty Quanfu Island: Wear a flowing white dress, sit on a beach swing, and use backlighting to create beautiful silhouette effects; or lie on the beach with the blue sky and sea as background for natural, casual photos. Yinyu Island: Stand under the iconic lighthouse, use a wide-angle lens to shoot upward, capturing the person, lighthouse, and gradient waters together for a spectacular visual effect. Cruise Deck: Around 5:30 AM, head to the top deck of the cruise ship, set up a tripod, and photograph the sunrise at sea, capturing the moment when the first rays of sunlight spill across the water. VI. Travel Bonus: Creating Unforgettable Memories After participating in the flag-raising ceremony on the island, don't forget to collect the precious "Xisha Commemorative Seal" - a unique travel souvenir! Also, at the post office on Yongxing Island, select a beautiful postcard, write your wishes to friends and family, and mail it from China's southernmost point, sending this romance from Xisha to your loved ones.

| Unlock the "Jelly Beaches" at 16°N. 🌊 Xisha Islands Beaches | Unlock the "Jelly Beaches" at 16°N 🇨🇳 🌟 Three Soul-Stirring Experiences at Xisha Beaches 1. Step into 40°C "Milky White Sand" 🥥 The sand here is as fine as baby powder. Walking barefoot on it feels like stepping into a pile of warm marshmallows! The "Flour Beach" of Quanfu Island changes with the tides, forming a crescent-shaped tail. At low tide, you can even find pink coral fragments. Arrange them into a heart shape for a natural love confession! (A must-do for families with children: Draw a giant family portrait on the wet sand with branches and take a creative "Wave Family Portrait" before the tide comes in!) 2. A Magical Drift on the Glowing Beach 🌌 Yinyu Island's beach hides a substitute for the "Blue Tears"! Under the moonlight, shuffle your feet through the wet sand to activate the bioluminescent plankton hidden within. Each step creates sparkling fluorescent blue dots, as if you're tap-dancing in the Milky Way! (Tip: Turn off your phone's light and use a slow shutter speed to capture the magical light trails.) 3. Coral Blind Box Challenge 🪸 The intertidal zone of the Yongle Islands is a natural treasure trove! Take your kids and use plastic shovels to dig through the gravel in the shallows. You'll find rainbow snails the size of fingernails, hermit crabs that "play dead," and even translucent sea hares. It's more exciting than opening a blind box! (⚠ Don't take the coral fragments. Capture their textures with your phone's macro mode—that's enough to impress your friends!) 🗺 Hardcore Guide | 🚢 Getting to the Islands: Top Choice for Families with Children: Take the "Princess Changle" cruise from Sanya Phoenix Island for a 4-day, 3-night trip including childcare services. Deck movies and ocean classes free up parents' hands. Advanced Option for Enthusiasts: Join a 6-person sailing boat island hopping tour to unlock a picnic on Jinqing Island's "Trailing Beach" and stargazing camping at the Beijiao Lighthouse. The cost is around 12,000+ RMB per person, with the freedom to experience fishing, fresh sashimi, and more. ⏰ Perfect Timing: Photography enthusiasts → 1 hour after sunrise (the beach takes on a honey-gold hue) + full moon night (MAX version of the glowing beach) Seashore Foraging Fans → 2 hours after high tide on the 1st/15th day of the lunar calendar, you can dig up cat-eye snails the size of your palm in the reef area 🏡 Accommodation Tips: Best Value: Homestays with fishermen on Yinyu Island (300+/night, enjoy freshly caught Napoleon wrasse and listen to old captains' seafaring stories) Luxury Experience: Cruise ship ocean view suite (wake up to the sound of waves every day, enjoy a 360° glass sea view from your private deck chair) 💡 Pro Tips Beach Outfit Essentials 👒: Bring water shoes! Although the coral sand is soft, it gets scorching hot at noon. Slip-resistant and breathable shoes are essential for beach warriors. Kids must wear one-piece sun protection swimwear. The UV rays are no joke (don't ask me how I know 😭). Photography Secret Weapon 📸: Shoot "jelly waves" from a low angle! Place your phone close to the sand and shoot upwards, letting the waves create a transparent amber texture in the foreground. Drone enthusiasts must visit Jinqing Island. The bird's-eye view of the emerald reefs and milky trailing beach will capture National Geographic-worthy shots. Seafood Price Warning 🦞: You can bargain on the spot at Yinyu Island's fisherman's restaurants! For spiny lobsters, choose ones around 1 kg for the best texture. Ask the chef to prepare the grouper as both sashimi and porridge. Be wary of buying "tridacna crafts" on the roadside. Most are plastic imitations and may be illegal. ❓ WHY Xisha Beaches? ✅ Secluded: Limited to 200 visitors per day, enjoy the exclusive pleasure of having the entire jelly sea to yourself. ✅ Textbook-perfect ecosystem: Coral coverage exceeds 90%. Take your kids to witness the "underwater meteor shower" of coral spawning. ✅ Patriotism boost: Taking a family photo in front of the sovereignty monument on Quanfu Island is more impactful than any early childhood education class. Final Ritual 🌟: Before leaving the island, create a map of China with seashells on the beach. Post it on your social media with the caption: "Some grains of sand become etched into your DNA."

Antelope Reef, also known as Kuangzai Reef, is a small atoll in the southwestern part of the Yongle Great Atoll, the core area of China's Xisha Islands. It stretches 12 kilometers from north to south and is about 4 kilometers at its widest point from east to west, resembling an antelope or a basket, hence the fishermen call it Kuangzai. The sandbar on it is called Kuangzai Sandbar, and the Antelope Community is located on the Kuangzai Sandbar at the southwest corner of Antelope Reef. It is also known as the southernmost fishing village in the Xisha Islands. The waters around Antelope Reef are among the most difficult to navigate in the Xisha Islands, and the difficulty of transportation leads to a severe scarcity of resources on the island. As a result, the houses here, from the beams to the roofs, are all made of hard corals and shells that have been ground and piled up. From a distance, they present a gray-white texture. This building material not only withstands the invasion of typhoons but also provides insulation, adapting to the tropical monsoon climate. The fishermen here can not only live and work in peace and contentment but also enjoy modern living facilities. There is electricity supply, communication networks, medical and health services, cultural and entertainment activities, education and training, and even a small library. Through their hard work, the fishermen have turned the Antelope Reef Sandbar from a barren island into a bright pearl in the ocean. The new comprehensive buildings, modern residences, and green vegetation constitute a beautiful picture of the island. The resolution of electricity and fresh water issues means that residents no longer worry about survival but can focus more on developing fisheries and tourism, bringing new prosperity to the island. In 1935, the government of the Republic of China announced the name as Antelope Reef, in 1947 the government of the Republic of China announced the name as Antelope Reef, and in 1983 the government of the People's Republic of China announced the name as Antelope Reef. 🧳Preparation before departure: There is no public transportation; access is by chartered or dedicated boat. ⏳Visiting time: Free admission, the visiting and inspection time is 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Lingyang Reef is located in the southwest of Yongle Atoll, Xisha Islands, Sansha City, Hainan Province, China. It is a small triangular atoll in the southwest corner of Yongle Atoll, about 90 kilometers away from Yongxing Island, the capital of Sansha City. This small atoll is also very large. It will be submerged at high tide, and ships are prone to hit reefs and sink. Most of it can be exposed to the water at low tide. This small atoll is triangular in shape and has no access to the sea. It is a closed atoll. There is a sandbar in the southeast of the reef, which will not be submerged unless there is a very high tide. It is made of white coral sand and is about 2 meters above the water surface. The water depth of the lagoon is less than 1 meter. The reef piers (point reefs) are covered with a variety of colorful corals that look like an underwater garden, and the reef blocks on the reef edge are rugged. The waters around Antelope Reef are one of the most difficult routes to navigate in the Xisha Islands. The transportation difficulties have led to a severe shortage of resources on the island. Due to the lack of plant protection, typhoons pose a great threat to houses and other buildings on the island. 👍Most recommended: The color of the sea changes with the depth of the sea, which is particularly layered and a unique scene. 🚉Transportation strategy: There is no public transportation to get there, you need a special boat, and usually you have to change to a speedboat or other type of small boat to get there. 📝Note tips: When riding a speedboat or speedboat against the wind (usually west to east), the water splashes a lot and your whole body will be soaked like moderate to heavy rain. ⏳Visiting time: Free and open to the public, the visiting time is 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Xisha Laolongtou is a stele on the stone island next to Yongxing Island of the Xisha Islands. The stone island is located in the Xisha Xuande Archipelago of China, in the northeastern part of the Yongxing Island reef plate, covering an area of 0.08 square kilometers, with an altitude of 15.9 meters, which is the highest point of the Xisha Islands. In 2012, there was an approximately 800-meter-long man-made stone dike or small road connecting it to Yongxing Island, and by 2014, the island had merged with Yongxing Island. The stone island is flat like a platform, with steep sides all around, actually being a 10-meter-high plateau terrain, formed by the coral reefs that make up the stone island. Some of these reefs are cemented by coral sand deposits. The secondary coral reefs, originally in a nearly horizontal state, remained horizontal after uplift, thus forming the flat plateau terrain. These deposited gravel layers are not yet firmly cemented and are easily eroded by waves, hence the formation of vertical cliffs. On the island, there is a Chinese sovereignty monument and the 'Xisha Laolongtou' stele, as well as a veterans' forest, planted by the soldiers guarding the stone island when they left. Additionally, the entrance to the stone island is guarded, but a simple greeting allows entry. There are no obstructions on the island, and the vegetation consists of weeds and one or two artificially planted plants' withered stalks. ⏳Visiting Time: Free admission, visiting time is 30 minutes to 1 hour.
