The seafood restaurant is good value for money, with more varieties than those near the hotel. It's just a little far from Shimei Bay. It's suitable for self-driving tours. The environment is acceptable, and the taste of the dishes cooked by the store is also good.

The seafood is good. Free pick-up and drop-off are available in Shenzhou Peninsula. The seafood is cost-effective and worth recommending.

The seafood is plentiful, exceptionally fresh, and reasonably priced.

Wanning is definitely a winter haven! 🌞 The average temperature from December to January is 25℃+, less crowded, beautiful scenery, and incredibly cost-effective! This travel blogger has compiled a comprehensive guide after three visits, so be sure to save it! 👇 💰 【Budget Planning】 - Transportation: Flying to Haikou is much cheaper than flying to Sanya! Round-trip airfare is around 800-1000 RMB (check for special offers in advance). The high-speed rail from Meilan Airport to Wanning/Shenzhou Station takes 30 minutes (fare 25 RMB). - Accommodation: ✅ Riyue Bay Surfing B&B (150-300 RMB/night, suitable for young people) ✅ Shenzhou Peninsula Seaview Apartment (300-500 RMB/night in the off-season, sea view from the window). - Food and Drink: Snacks cost 20-30 RMB per person per meal, seafood meals cost 80-100 RMB per person, and snacks like Qingbuliang (a sweet soup), sour rice noodles, and pineapple buns are affordable. - Activities: Most beaches are free; surfing lessons cost 168-198 yuan; snorkeling packages at Jiajing Island cost 300-500 yuan. 🌴 Must-Visit Attractions 1️⃣ Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse The red and white lighthouse, contrasting beautifully with the sea and sky, is a landmark of the peninsula, guiding passing ships and providing excellent photo opportunities. 💡Tips: We recommend going in the evening to photograph the sunset; wearing a light-colored dress will result in better photos! 2️⃣ Shimei Bay + Phoenix Jiuli Bookstore Known as "Hainan's most beautiful bay," it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side. The bay boasts lush vegetation, white sand, azure waters, and blue skies with drifting clouds. At Phoenix Jiuli Bookstore, you can listen to the waves while reading, and there's also the trendy "Hard Bar" on the beach, decorated entirely in pink – perfect for those with a girly heart. 3️⃣ Riyue Bay Surfing + Coconut Palm Road A national surfing training base with stable and powerful waves, suitable for surfing year-round. Beginners can choose to experience professional surfing clubs (such as SHAKA SURF and Houlang Surfing Club), with 1-on-4 lessons costing approximately 198 yuan including photography. The coastal road is half coconut palms and half the sea; renting an electric scooter for a ride is incredibly pleasant! 4️⃣ Qiaohai Ranch Adorable cattle and sheep frolic on the green grass, surrounded by tranquil pastoral scenery, making it a perfect spot for photos, often called "Hainan's Altay." 💡Tips: The animals are more active in the morning; bring some carrots to feed them! 5️⃣ Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden & Bali Village Botanical Garden tickets start at 48 yuan, where you can see cocoa trees, pepper trees, and other tropical plants, and even experience DIY activities. Bali Village tickets are 45 yuan, full of Southeast Asian charm, and you can rent Nyonya costumes for photos (cheaper at the entrance). 🦀 【Food Red and Black List (Eat with the Locals)】 - Must-Try Meals: ✅ Hele Crab: Plump and meaty, one of Hainan's four famous dishes, best enjoyed steamed for its original flavor. ✅ Dongshan Goat: Tender and juicy, perfect for braising or stewing to warm you up. ✅ Zhaobo Vinegar Hot Pot: Tai Qiong's spicy and sour hot pot is a perfect match for seafood (remember to add some instant noodles!). - Snacks & Drinks: ✅ Hou'an Rice Noodles: Pork bone broth with delicate rice noodles, a heartwarming and stomach-warming breakfast. ✅ Mong Kok Pineapple Buns: Crispy crust, bursting with filling—eat them hot, limited to 800 per day. ✅ Xinglong Coffee: Freshly ground coffee with fried dough sticks at the Zhengda Industrial Park, experience a local specialty. ✅ Qingbuliang (Spicy Bulet): Delicious and generously portioned at Dong'ao 985 food stall, their shaved ice is also amazing. 💡【Player's Hard-Won Tips】 1️⃣ Transportation: Wanning's attractions are spread out, so renting a car (around 150 RMB per day) or a small electric scooter (40 RMB/day) is recommended to explore the bay area; pay attention to navigation prompts due to low speed limits. 2️⃣ Surfing Precautions: Bring your own rash guard/surf suit; beginners can wear goggles; be wary of touts on the street, and book in advance with a reputable club. 3️⃣ Avoid these pitfalls: Xinglong Street has a strong commercial atmosphere; ignore those trying to sell "blessings" at the beach; when buying seafood, ask if it's sold by weight or by the piece. 4️⃣ Hidden Activities: - Qiaohai Ranch has stunning morning mist and light effects; - Securing a spot at Corona Sunset Bar before 5 PM to snag a pink beach chair! Wanning in winter is a treasure trove – less crowded, beautiful scenery, and affordable prices, satisfying surfing enthusiasts, foodies, and photography lovers alike! #ExperienceWinterBeauty #CityHumanitiesNotes #OffTheBeatenPathDiscovery #RomanticTravelDestinationsInChina #PlacesYouGetAskedAboutOnWeChat
