Because it's stunningly beautiful! There is a breathtaking glass sea here

Tour route

Photo spots:
1 Moonlight Castle: After getting off the boat, go left to the end to find Moonlight Castle, which resembles the ancient Roman Colosseum, arranged as the first stop because there will be few people, making it better for taking photos. To the left of Moonlight Castle is the sea, where you can see the majestic sea and huge waves, very spectacular
2 Maritime Lighthouse: The same lighthouse from Miyazaki's anime, visible upon landing on the island, you can take photos under the lighthouse
3 Dadongtian: There are many photo-taking installations here, such as beach coconut trees, hot air balloons, churches, etc., and you can also get close to the glass sea
4 Wind-moving Stone: The popular cliffside wooden house is here, go up the stairs to the left of the station, follow the stairs and you will see many small wooden houses, full of atmosphere
5 Huanxi Hall Station: You can drink coffee for free

📝Note tips:
1. Those on a day trip should get to the island early to avoid crowds
2. Families with children can go to the marine theater to watch performances and interact with devil fish on the first beach to the right after landing on the island, interaction times are 9:30, 13:00, 15:00, 18:00
3. There are many water activities, if you want to play several, it's more cost-effective to buy a package ticket
4. Although there are only 4 stations for the Fenjiezhou Island tour car, it's worth a ride, the tour car goes up the mountain, it's very tiring to walk, sitting in the tour car with a breeze is very comfortable, you can get off at each station to take photos
5. Choose a sunny day to visit the island, you can see the jelly sea
6. It's more cost-effective to buy a package ticket for water activities
7. If you get seasick, you can prepare seasickness patches in advance and sit at the stern of the boat where the rocking is lighter
ISABEL NORRIS
It's really right here in China! The glass jelly sea is so beautiful that it's astonishing
|| Be sure to visit Fenjiezhou Island when you're in Hainan, where the scenery is beautiful and there are fewer people.
🔴 Below is a personal travel guide and sharing of my experience:
✔ Purchase tickets online in advance, which can be used one hour later. Enter the scenic area with the admission code. Adult tickets are 122 yuan (including round-trip boat tickets), and half price for the elderly and children; sightseeing tour car tickets are 40 yuan per person, which is recommended to buy, as walking up the mountain is tiring.
✔ Transportation: Depart from Sanya by car at 8:30 am, about 1 hour's drive, and there is a parking fee; if you choose the high-speed train, you can go from Sanya Station to Lingshui Station, which takes about 25 minutes.
✔ Tour route:
1⃣ Arrive at the pier at 9:30 am, the boat ride to the island takes about 15 minutes, and those who get seasick should take medicine half an hour in advance.
2⃣ After disembarking, reach the visitor center, turn left and walk straight to Moonlight Castle, along the way there are marine theaters, sea fishing clubs, and helicopters, and the sea area along this route is extremely beautiful.
3⃣ Moonlight Castle has ancient Roman-style architecture and a 180-degree sea view, and it's easy to take good photos everywhere. There is a long cement slope at the entrance, where you can check in at the entrance stone frame, stairs, swings, etc. However, this area is open and unshaded, hot and sunny, so it's recommended to bring an umbrella/sun protection clothing/a small fan.
4⃣ After taking photos, return to the visitor center and cross the food and shopping street to reach the sightseeing tour car area to take the car. The station route is: Dadongtian Station - Fengdongshi Station - Huanxitang Station - Yuefengting Station.
5⃣ Dadongtian Station has sandy beaches with coconut trees, hot air balloons, churches, cafes, and other popular internet celebrity check-in spots, and the jelly blue sea is stunning, with crystal clear water.
6⃣ Fengdongshi Station has Fenjiezhou Island's popular cliff cabins, personally, I think the scenery at this station is the most beautiful on the island, as if you are abroad.
7⃣ Huanxitang Station has cliff coffee and the Fenjiezhou Island monument, with free hot coffee, this place is higher up, with a wide view of the sea.
8⃣ Yuefengting Station has a sea-facing cliff plank road and observation deck, Judgment Valley, with beautiful scenery, overlooking the vast sea, and the wind is cool above.
9⃣ Return to the visitor center station, the nearby beach is available for play, with fine soft sand, devil fish, beach loungers, and various sea activities can be played.

Beyond Sanya, the scenery is beautiful and there are fewer people, and the consumption is more affordable
🌴 Visit Lingshui, away from the hustle and bustle, immersed in the embrace of nature 🌊In Lingshui, compared to popular cities like Sanya and Wanning, the flow of people is sparse, the prices are affordable, but the charm of high-quality beaches is not lost. Wild attractions such as Clearwater Bay, Raffles Bay, and Perfume Bay, carry a rich self-driving tour experience, and the holiday atmosphere is no less than other cities.
🚗 Traffic tips: Self-driving is more convenient, but pay attention to the sparse public transportation. The transportation in Lingshui is slightly inconvenient, the number of buses is limited, mainly relying on taxis or car rentals. It is recommended to fly to Sanya Phoenix Airport first, which is closer. You can choose to take a high-speed train to Lingshui Station, about half an hour, or rent a car for self-driving, about 1 hour and 16 minutes by car. Guests staying at the Blue Bay Greentown Westin Hotel can take the hotel shuttle service outside Sanya Airport.🚐
🌞 Travel in Lingshui, pay attention to climate changes. The weather in Lingshui is mainly sunny, with occasional showers, mostly appearing in the evening. The temperature stays between 26-30 degrees, the sun is strong at noon, the ultraviolet rays are high, and tourists need to do a good job of sun protection.🌞
🏝 Explore the attractions: Boundary Island, the fairyland of the sea. Boundary Island is a highlight not to be missed. The color of the sea is as tempting as jelly. The island offers a variety of sea projects, it is recommended to go early to avoid the peak of summer crowds. Sightseeing car tickets are priced at 40 yuan/person, and tourists can conveniently tour the entire island.🏖
🚤 Clearwater Bay, Perfume Bay, Raffles Bay: The choice of quiet beaches. The water of Clearwater Bay is clear, next to it is the Desert Sand Lighthouse, which is also the filming location of 'Her Disappearance', standing on it to enjoy the sunset scenery, it is intoxicating. Perfume Bay and Raffles Bay are relatively quiet, with fewer people and tranquility, and the delicate beaches are suitable for watching the sunrise and sunset.🌅
🎣 Experience local features: Danjia Fish Raft and Xincun Pier Catching Sea. The Danjia Fish Raft is controversial and suitable for bringing children. Sitting on a fishing boat wandering on the sea, there is a chance to catch starfish, sea urchins, etc., but the smell is heavy, the water quality is not good, consider carefully. In addition, Xincun Pier is a good place to catch the sea, the beach is full of starfish, crabs, etc. that can be picked up, and the tools for catching the sea can be purchased nearby.🎣🌊
🐒 Nanwan Monkey Island, Daidai Island: Monkey Paradise. There are few attractions on Nanwan Monkey Island, mainly for close observation of monkeys. Choose to take a cable car to the island, overlooking the magnificent scenery of the Danjia Fish Raft, which has a different flavor. After playing, you can continue to take a sightseeing car to Daidai Island, and the cliff sea view on the way is intoxicating.🚡
🎢 Raffles Ocean Joy World: Laughter and excitement intertwined. Raffles Ocean Joy World is an entertainment resort not to be missed, 298 yuan can play multiple projects in the park (except the sea train). There are marine animal performances, rapids roller coasters, jungle drifting, whirlwind cars, Ferris wheels, etc. in the park. You need to rent a car to visit, and at the same time prepare a mobile phone waterproof bag, raincoat, rain boots, it is recommended to wear slippers.🎡
🚧 Road condition reminder: Be careful of mines on the coastal road of Raffles Bay. The blue wall section of the coastal road of Raffles Bay is short, it is recommended to proceed with caution.🚗⚠️
🦞 Taste seafood: Xincun Central Wholesale Market. If you want to taste fresh and affordable seafood, you can go to Xincun Central Wholesale Market. Next to the market is a small pier, supplying freshly caught seafood, fresh and reasonably priced.🦀🍤

Boundary Island is definitely worth a visit❤️
#islandtour
I'm really crying!! The Fruit Jelly Sea that doesn't require filters for the whole journey~We drive from Riyue Bay in just over ten minutes to the scenic parking lot and then take a boat ride to the island, which is about the distance!! Be sure to purchase tickets online one day in advance and bring your ID card to O. Opening hours: Research: 30-22:30 Ticket price: 159/person (round-trip boat ticket+shuttle ticket) It is necessary to buy a shuttle ticket. It is recommended to take a few places to take a photo: 1. When you arrive on the island, don't rush to take the shuttle bus and run to the left for about 10 minutes until you reach the "Moonlight Ancient City Castle" on the swing facing the sea. 2. Check in at the Moonlight Ancient City Castle and then return to do the shuttle bus. The first stop is the beach hot air balloon. We didn't get off at this stop, so we headed to the second stop, the beach wooden house. We got off the shuttle bus and ran to the left. It only takes about five minutes to get straight to the 517 room where the most stunning photos can be taken. It's up to you to see how it feels! On the third and third stops, you can receive a free cup of hot coffee from Kakang County. However, I suggest that you go directly to the fourth stop to collect it. If there are fewer people in Kakang County, you can also add ice cubes. You must climb up the mountain and the wind is super strong. My hat is on this stop. You can see Li Bi's surging waves hitting the rocks and rocks on the road, which is very beautiful and strong. This is one of the most worthwhile small islands in China. This time, the most worthwhile scenic spot to visit in Wanning is Jiezhou Island. It takes about 10 minutes to reach each station, and there is a long distance between each station.! Take a look!

Boundary Island🩷
✅:
If you want to experience the romance of the island, come to Boundary Island! White sandy beaches, emerald glass sea, swaying coconut groves, close encounters with devil rays, cliff wooden houses, Heart of the Sea Island... each one will make you exclaim.
✅:
No need to plan your own itinerary, no need to buy attraction tickets yourself, no need to hail a cab yourself, no need to choose accommodation yourself.
The itinerary is well-planned, with no backtracking throughout the journey! More convenient and worry-free!
✅:
This is my tearful summary after visiting once. The attractions are meaningless for children, they are not interested in taking photos in a rush. Playing with sand on the beach, looking for shells, and touching devil rays are the most enjoyable ways to spend a seaside vacation.
✅:
!!Warm reminder: If your child is timid, and if you don't have enough patience to persuade them to overcome their fear and experience it, you might want to reconsider. You can see some parents holding their children who refuse to come down, some scolding their children for being timid, and some just wanting their children to experience and see. If they are really scared, just watch from the side and pick up shells~
✅:
Take a shuttle bus for a tour around the island, with a total of five stops. The first stop, Datongtian, has the most beautiful hot air balloon photo spot, don't miss it.

🌴 Hainan's Must-See Spots: Island Bliss & Rainforest Thrills 🏝️🍃
🚢 Boundary Island, Lingshui
Hop on a boat to Boundary Island for a day of marine adventures! Start early to beat the crowds and enjoy snorkeling, sea slides, and feeding turtles. The island's crystal-clear Jellyfish Sea and performances by dolphins and sea lions are a hit with families. Although some activities come at an extra cost, the pristine waters and rich marine life are worth it. It's quieter and less commercialized than other islands, making it my top pick for a tranquil escape.
🌋 Leiqiong Global Geopark, Haikou
Climb to the peak of Haikou's volcanic wonder at Leiqiong Global Geopark. The lush greenery, panoramic views of the Qiongzhou Strait, and a short hike to the crater make it a refreshing outing.

The park's educational displays add depth to the experience, making it a visually and intellectually rewarding visit.

Don't miss the chance to snap photos with parrots and unwind to the sounds of nature. A guide's assistance can enhance your journey, capturing memories amidst the most stunning waterfalls.

Discover exotic flora at Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden. From the intriguing Dragon Blood Tree to a diverse collection of spices and fruits, it's a botanist's dream. Guides like the patient Mr. Chen bring the garden to life with stories and facts about each plant. The chocolate-making experience is a sweet bonus for the kids, and the garden's own chocolate is a must-try treat!
🏺 Bing Lang Gu, Baoting
Dive into the rich culture of the Li minority at Bing Lang Gu. The vibrant tribal performances and exquisite embroidery offer a glimpse into local traditions. While a bit off the beaten path, the cultural insights and warm hospitality make it a journey worth taking. Just be mindful of the transportation challenges and plan accordingly.
🎢 Hainan Ocean Paradise, Lingshui
For a splash of fun, Hainan Ocean Paradise is an amusement park that delivers with minimal wait times. From fireworks to mermaid shows, there's something for everyone.

Stay awhile, scattered around the coconut island for twenty days (Part 8)
Roaming around the eight-ring island - the first stop: Boundary Island. We traveled around the island in a counterclockwise direction.
Before coming to Hainan, I didn't make any specific plans, but what I looked forward to the most was Boundary Island.
Boundary Island is located at the boundary between Lingshui County and Wanning City in Hainan Province. It's a very beautiful small offshore island that requires a short ferry ride to reach. During the ferry ride, the clear and clean seawater and the soft, fine white sand deeply attracted me.
According to the island's introduction: Geographically, the Niu Ridge is the dividing line between the north and south of Hainan Island. The north is mostly plains, while the south is mountainous. From Boundary Island, you can often see: during the summer, heavy rain pours north of the ridge, while the south is sunny and splendid; in winter, the north is gloomy, but the south is sunny and bright. This is the spectacle known as 'rain under the ox's head, sunshine under its tail'.
We first went to the mountain peak to gain some knowledge, which actually involved taking an eco-friendly vehicle. We gave up climbing after less than a quarter of the way and decided that riding was more comfortable.
What I missed the most was the sea here, with its dazzling and colorful hues—azure, emerald, blue-green, light green... The colorful sea is indescribable with words, so clear and pure. The reefs on the seabed serve as a beautiful backdrop, and different angles bring different stunning views. Thanks to the excellent natural environment protection, compared to the several beaches and islands in Sanya City, this place has a more complete and beautiful underwater scenery, and all kinds of water entertainment facilities are available. I usually hate man-made facilities that destroy the natural environment, but this time I was not affected at all. The place is too beautiful to just stand and admire. I'm going to take a ton of photos, but I always feel that they can't showcase its charm. Boundary Island was what I was looking forward to, and it's even more beautiful than I imagined! Compared to Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay, I love it even more. It's my favorite seascape in Hainan!

Sanya | The Ultimate Guide to Enjoying Fenjiezhou Island
🏝 At the boundary between Lingshui and Wanning in Hainan, there lies Fenjiezhou Island.
-
🌴🌴🌴
—————————————
We navigated by car🧭: Fenjiezhou Island Tourist Center
Then we boarded the ship🚢, ticket price: 127 (round trip)
Opening hours: 8:30~22:30
(Buy online one hour in advance)
-
🌴🌴🌴
——————————
After getting off the island, we bought tickets for the sightseeing bus, which has 4 stops (foldable strollers can be taken on the bus)
The first stop is Jellyfish Sea, but since it was noon and too hot, we didn't get off. The second, third, and fourth stops are actually several different sea-viewing platforms. If you like taking photos, you can get off at the second stop and walk down to find some scenic swings for photo ops, as well as some rocks.
-
🌴🌴🌴
——————————
🌊 The most photogenic spot on Fenjiezhou Island is the Moonlight Ancient Castle, just a ten-plus minute walk to the left after getting off the island. Personally, I feel that the photos I took with my phone didn't capture the feeling. There are quite a few people taking wedding photos inside.
⛱⛱⛱ About the activities:
🐬 Feeding devil fish, there's no longer a time restriction, you can feed them anytime, 68 per person, they give you a small bucket with four or five small fish🐟, I think it's a waste and not worth it, too many people, you can't take good photos, it's too chaotic, unless there are few people.
🏄♀️ Water activities: Hmm??? We tried a few, I don't know if it's because the scenic area prioritizes safety, but the big flying fish just drifted on the sea, not thrilling at all, and the parasailing was also low, not high at all. It can't compare with the activities on Wuzhizhou Island, and I heard that Wuzhizhou Island's activities are not as exciting as before either.
-
🌴🌴🌴
——————————
Overall, my favorite part of the scenic area is still the road to the Moonlight Ancient Castle, it's very comfortable to walk. Because we were in a hurry, I just took a few photos and left.

Four Days and Three Nights Pure Enjoyment Travel Guide to Hainan!
Day 1: Touchdown by plane, Haikou Meilan Airport—Shenzhou Station
(We bought tickets upon arrival, no need to purchase in advance)
After getting off, take a taxi directly from Shenzhou Peninsula to Shimei Bay to Riyue Bay
This itinerary can be enjoyed for a whole day, you can rent electric scooters, the fee is basically 10/hour, the scenery is very beautiful, with a glass sea. Finally, stay in Riyue Bay, where there are many surfers, and at night there are many atmospheric bars
(216, no cup, that whole street)
Day 2: From Shenzhou Station to Wanning Station
After getting off, take a Didi to Fenjiezhou Island (skipped Monkey Island and Daidai Island. I personally think these are more suitable for families with children)
Fenjiezhou Island at 8:30 is not crowded. When we went, it was empty, we directly bought a sightseeing car for 40/person, and went straight to the mountain. We visited the hardest place to climb first, the scenery on top is very good and there are shady places that are not too sunny, having a cup of coffee is really very pleasant. The price of food and beverages is basically more than double, for example, cold noodles are 18 a bowl. After finishing the mountain, the cable car ticket will be torn when you get off, and you arrive at the starting station, start walking around, see the jelly sea, go to the sea, you can change into a swimsuit to swim, feeding devil fish has gone up to 80/person. In total, we played for about five hours.
Had lunch, played until the afternoon then took a Didi to Wanning Station
Wanning Station—Sanya Station
After arriving in Sanya, take a Didi directly to the hotel, swim in the hotel's own pool~ In the evening, went to the First Market Night Market, eat and drink.
Day 3: Take a Didi to West Island
Arrived around ten, started playing water sports (the sun in the morning is not too strong) I think the water sports in West Island are more fun than Fenjiezhou Island, recommend parasailing, you must touch the water like a dragonfly, it will get you wet but it's very fun! There is a feeling of being away from the city, the whole bay is mine! West Island gives me a high sense of happiness, it's not so commercialized, the granny is very simple, we rode for more than three hours for 30 (the granny explained the precautions. And she said we could rent it for the whole day) without a deposit. West Island is not big, if you don't play the projects, you might be able to walk around in three hours, Turtle Island sea picking is very beautiful. Left the island around five in the afternoon.
Took a Didi back to the hotel to change clothes and then went to the Coconut Dream Corridor, we walked along the seaside towards the direction of the sunset, watching the sky become more and more beautiful, picking up endless small shells, super romantic~ For dinner, we had sour soup hot pot, if you usually like to drink soup with vinegar, or dip dumplings in vinegar, then you will definitely love it, I feel like I found my own favorite cuisine, it's so delicious!
Then took a Didi to Yiheng Night Market, actually it's not big, many fruits, clothes are very cost-effective, for example, mangosteen 13/kg, milk coconut 5 yuan each, bananas sold by the bunch! After eating and drinking and walking around, we returned to the hotel.
Day 4: Walked around the hotel and took some photos, had lunch at noon and then headed to the airport to return home~

Fenjiezhou Island
The seaside on a rainy day has a unique poetic charm. Walking on the beach in the rain, the waves beat against the rocks, raindrops on the sea surface create ripples, which interestingly reflect the mist in the distant mountains. In this picturesque scenery, it feels like being in an ink painting, making one linger and forget to return.

Hainan | Fenjiezhou Island's glass sea and jellyfish sea are truly breathtaking
Fenjiezhou Island is the climatic divide of Hainan, the cultural divide between the Li, Miao, Hui ethnic groups and the Han nationality, the natural geographical boundary between southern and northern Hainan, the administrative division point between Lingshui and Wanning cities, and also the "spiritual divide" for switching moods and contemplating life.
Location: Fenjiezhou Island, Lingshui Li Autonomous County, Hainan Province
Self-drive: Sanya Airport - Pier 1 hour 11 minutes 96 kilometers
Train: You can take a train to Lingshui Station, then take a bus to Fenjiezhou Island Pier. For the return trip; there is a Fenjiezhou Island tourist area shuttle to Lingshui train station or bus station
🎫 Ticket: Adult ticket 118/person Child ticket 63/person
The scenic area is open from 8:30-22:30, with the latest time to go to the island at 17:30, and the latest time to leave the island at 18:00.
📸 Photo spots
Moonlight Castle: A Roman-style building by the sea, with a sea swing, every shot is picture-perfect. After landing on the island, turn left and walk straight to the end, about a 10-minute walk, with few people
Maritime Lighthouse: The same lighthouse as in Miyazaki Hayao's anime, visible upon landing on the island, you can take photos under the lighthouse
Dadongtian: The first stop of the sightseeing car, with the popular hot air balloon, coconut palm road, white church, First Sight Pavilion, and bird's nest, all great for photos
Wind-moving Rock: The second stop of the sightseeing car, where you can photograph the cliffside cabins (after getting off the car, walk to the left of the viewing platform until you see cabin E516)
Yuefeng Pavilion: The last stop of the sightseeing car, walk down the steps, and overlook the entire sea area within the cliff railing, very spectacular. If staying on the island, go directly there after breakfast at the breakfast restaurant
Little Tips
🔸 For a day trip, make sure to get to the island early, first take the sightseeing car to get off at each station for photos (a total of 4 stations) and then return to the visitor center, then turn left and walk to Moonlight Castle
🔸 Families with children can go to the marine theater to see performances🦭 and interact with manta rays on the first beach to the right after landing on the island, with interaction times at 9:30, 13:00, 15:00, 18:00
🔸 There are many water activities, it's more cost-effective to buy a package ticket if you want to play several types
TranquilDestinations
Stop focusing solely on Sanya, perhaps Lingshui is the true destination of your heart for a Hainan trip
Yezhou Island, it's the only island with a natural river channel, and from above, it looks like an oval coconut fruit.
Daidai Island, a very small island with lots of props suitable for photography by the seaside, super ideal for taking pictures, and it's also very close to Monkey Island.
Fenjiezhou Island, that's the best place for diving, and there's also the Moonlight Castle by the sea, which is particularly suitable for aerial photography, and the interactive programs at the Ocean Theater offer an amazing experience!
Nanwan Monkey Island, where you can see many monkeys and experience riding a cable car, and the monkeys here are very obedient!
Qingshui Bay, the scenery is absolutely stunning, with a curved coastline, fine and white sandy beaches, as if you were in a seaside bar in Jeju Island, the Mo Sha Lighthouse from 'The Disappearing She', and the romantic starry sky by the sea, all offer a dreamlike experience.
Danjia Fish Raft, the place with the richest cultural characteristics of Hainan, a very special sea village

I miss you so much on Fenjiezhou Island
I believe everyone must have faced the choice between joining a tour group or traveling independently on their first trip. After being forced into shopping on a group tour to Hong Kong, I developed a deep aversion to group tours. The longing for the sea by someone from the inland doesn't need to be mentioned; of course, I think about the beautiful seascapes that can't be appreciated properly with a tour group. It's not a matter of if, but when. China has an extensive coastline, and I visit the sea of Hainan Island every year, which I can say is no less beautiful than abroad. This time, I went to the magical Fenjiezhou Island, where you can choose from activities like yacht fishing, sailing, underwater fish and coral viewing, and even taking beautiful wedding photos at sunset! In Hainan, self-driving is the most comfortable way to travel. You can go wherever you want to play. Next time, I'll take you to Tanmen to eat seafood, oh, it's definitely a different experience.
CodeCrusader
Never take your child to Lingshui, I regret it so much
May in Hainan is already very hot, you can swim with confidence, and the plane tickets and hotels are relatively cheap. Compared to Sanya, after visiting Lingshui, it feels more suitable for a family trip! I was clickbaited, it's suitable for family living!
🌵If you want to relax on vacation, or it's your first time in Hainan—head straight to Sanya!
🌵If you're taking kids to catch sea life, dig in the sand, and collect shells—go to Lingshui!
🌵If you're a couple wanting to experience the atmosphere of Hainan—go to Wanning!
1️⃣【Itinerary】I recommend 3-4 days, you can go to Sanya for the rest of the time, for reference:
Day1: Boundary Island
Day2: Qingshui Bay + Longtou Ridge Trail + Lighthouse
Day3: Daidai Island + Sea Catching + Xincun Night Market
Day4: R&F Ocean Happy World
2️⃣For a few days of travel, choose a hotel in Qingshui Bay, Lingshui's overall development is not as good as Sanya's, it's more like a small county town, with more homestays and fewer hotels. If you're staying long-term, choose a homestay, if it's just for a few days, choose a hotel. Qingshui Bay is convenient for food, accommodation, and travel, with high-end options like Raffles and Vapers, and Wyndham for those looking for economical options.
3️⃣Lingshui doesn't have an airport, to get there I recommend traveling from Sanya, a 40-minute drive from Haitang Bay, or take the high-speed train. Once in Lingshui, driving is the most convenient, or you can take a ride-hailing service, which is quick to respond but a bit pricey.
4️⃣The beaches in Lingshui are really fine and clean, especially Qingshui Bay, which is particularly fine, perfect for taking kids to play in the sand and catch sea life. Here are 4 beaches to visit:
① Agile section (📍Navigation: Agile Hainan Qingshui Bay Sales Center)
② Chiling section (📍Navigation: Chiling Gas Station)
③ Country Garden section (📍Navigation: Wyndham Hotel)
④ Aloha section (📍Navigation: Aloha)
5️⃣There aren't many places to catch sea life in Sanya, but Lingshui has plenty, and you don't need a guide, you can have a great time on your own! I've never seen so many starfish and shells!
Recommended places to catch sea life:
① Lingzai Village (📍Navigation: Lingzai Village Committee, lots of starfish)
② Tufu Bay (📍Navigation: Haitang Huafu Sales Center, lots of shells)
③ Longtou Ridge (📍Navigation: Agile Sales Department, lots of shells)
④ Xincun Pier (📍Navigation: Monkey Island Tourist Pier, where you can feed monkeys)
⑤ Little Chiling (📍Navigation: Wyndham Hotel Sea View Passage, lots of shells)
6️⃣I don't recommend going to Monkey Island, there isn't much to do, and you can see monkeys at a zoo anyway, I think it's not worth the special trip. If you do go, take the cable car to the island for a beautiful view of the entire Xujia fish raft.
7️⃣Daidai Island is also very beautiful, more suitable for those who like to take photos, many photo shoots are done here because it's less crowded and there are many props for photography. Put it as a second plan, if you don't have time, you can skip it.
8️⃣Boundary Island is a must-visit, along with West Island and Wuzhizhou Island, they are among the more famous small islands in Hainan. There are many activities on the island, but they are a bit expensive. You can buy a package ticket for the tour bus + devil fish + ocean theater, which is a bit more cost-effective than buying separately. Go early in the morning and you can play all day, the water activities are slightly more expensive than Qingshui Bay.
9️⃣You can go to the Dragon Fruit Base to experience picking dragon fruit, especially for kids from the north who haven't seen it before, 20 per person, go in the evening, it's close to Qingshui Bay.
🔟Lingshui Night Market has several options, they're all pretty similar, the big one is Xincun Night Market, you can try grilled oysters, Qingbu Liang, sesame paste, colorful coconut milk Qingbu Liang is also good, Lingshui sour noodles, mango fried ice, salt and pepper pipi shrimp are all worth a try.
BlazeHunter89
I really regret not coming earlier - it's so beautiful
The Hainan Fenjiezhou Island Tourist Area has been rated as a national AAAAA tourist attraction by the National Tourism Administration and is considered by international professional diving organizations as one of the 'most suitable islands for diving in Hainan'. It is also one of Hainan's 'top ten romantic attractions'. The sea is particularly blue, and I highly recommend everyone to come and experience it, it's definitely worth it
Transportation routes
Self-driving: Just navigate directly, free parking haha
High-speed train: Get off at Lingshui Station, then take a taxi for 15 minutes to reach
Bus: There are direct buses from Sanya city area to the pier, change the ticket to take a boat to the island, the boat trip is about 15 minutes
Opening hours: 8:30-22:30
Ticket price: 159 yuan, including round-trip boat ticket + sightseeing car. If you stay in a hotel on the island, you don't need to buy tickets for the entrance and sightseeing car again. It is recommended to stay on the island for one night. The sea view wooden houses are really nice, and the island is very quiet and comfortable in the evening and morning! You can take a lot of beautiful photos without other tourists!!
Itinerary:
Avoid the crowded tour route:
• Day1: Check into the island, visit Moonlight Castle, Lighthouse, feed devil fish, return to the wooden house to take photos and rest
• Day2: Hotel breakfast, Yuefeng Pavilion, Visitor Center, Dadongtian Wind-moving Rock, return to the room to check out
! On the first day of staying on the island, go to Moonlight Castle to take photos, and then enjoy the attractions. On the second day, before the main group of tourists arrives on the island, go to check in at the regular spots
📝 Tips:
① Day-trippers should go to the island early, take the sightseeing car to get off at each station to check in and take photos (there are 4 stations in total) and finally return to the visitor center, then turn left on foot to Moonlight Castle
② Families with children can go to the Ocean Theater to watch performances and interact with devil fish on the first beach to the right after landing on the island, interaction times
9:30, 13:00, 15:00, 18:00
③ There are many water activities, if you want to play several types, it is more cost-effective to buy a package directly
