Shimei Bay - My favorite beach in China

If you're looking for a slice of paradise in China, Shimei Bay is the perfect destination. With its crystal-clear waters, soft white sand, and lush green hills, it's the ideal place to relax and unwind. There are two amazing resorts on Shimei Bay that I would highly recommend for your stay. The first is the Le Meridian Shimei Bay Beach Resort & Spa, which offers luxurious accommodations with stunning views of the sea. The resort features a private beach, multiple swimming pools, and a range of restaurants and bars. The second resort is the Westin Shimei Bay Resort, which offers spacious rooms and villas that are perfect for families or groups. The resort has an excellent fitness center, a kids' club, and a range of activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and beach volleyball. Both resorts offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of Shimei Bay, from beach walks to snorkeling and diving. If you're looking for a more active vacation, the Westin offers an array of water sports, including surfing and windsurfing. Shimei Bay is a true gem on Hainan Island, and these resorts are the perfect places to stay to experience its beauty and serenity.

Private beach @ Shimei bay

🏨The Westin Shimei bay has a private beach that caters a lot of water sports activities. It has cabanas for a relaxing front beach viewing. The drinks are good, thanks to Gabriel (bartender) who spoke english and cater is during our stay. It was a bit overpriced for food and very crowded since there are only two hotels in front of Shimei Bay. They have a nice huge pool for kids and adults. There’s a big park infront where you can sit on the grass and take nice photos of the beach. #staycation

The appearance of Westin Shimei Bay, like a few blue leaves scattered on the lawn, in front of the beach and the sea, followed by a stretch of rainforest, compared with the urban buildings behind Yalong Bay, this is a huge advantage. The middle of the is the main building, where the lobby and restaurant are located, with rooms on either side. We checked in at the front desk. We went to our room and I liked it when I first saw this corridor. It was very design. Opened the door, this room is also full of good feelings, spacious, warm, warm yellow color makes people feel comfortable, wooden floor and carpet is my favorite match. The most satisfying is this large terrace, which can be used to bathe the pool while watching the sea. It is indeed the biggest highlight of the whole room, and the original 7-point experience is directly pulled to 9 points.

The Westin Shimei Bay Resort, a gem on the most beautiful bay in Hainan

When a heavy rain meets the surging waves, I seem to hear the sound of another universe. When the bright sunshine meets the white waves, I seem to travel to a world that only exists in fairy tales. During my two-day stay at The Westin Shimei Bay Resort, I encountered a variety of sea views and felt the colorful sea views and moods. The hotel is located in Shimei Bay, known as the most beautiful bay in Hainan, facing a 6-kilometer-long pristine beach and backed by a 4,000-year-old Qingpi forest. It is a filming location for various variety shows and movies, and a place where many people fall in love at first sight. I stayed in a premium pool room this time. When I opened the door, I saw a heated pool, and I could swim directly into the blue water. The sense of ceremony of vacation was already full in the room. The Westin Shimei Bay Resort is the largest Westin resort in the world, covering nearly 120,000 square meters. It is adjacent to the national Qingpi forest nature reserve, which has been protected since the Qing Dynasty. There are only three such Qingpi forests in the world, and the other two are in South Africa and Malaysia. The entire hotel is designed with the concept of "Dreaming Back to Qingpi Forest". The hotel lobby creatively uses a unique square concept. The 20-meter-high futuristic open lobby perfectly integrates nature with its transparent design. The hotel lobby faces Jiajing Island, and the beautiful scenery of Shimei Bay is unobstructed. In the warm afternoon, having a leisurely afternoon tea in the hotel lobby is something everyone who comes here likes to do. The beautiful scenery and delicious food are the best partners to adjust your mood, not to mention the wonderful performances every day. At dusk, go to the Hard Bar on the beach, order a few bottles of wine, and enjoy the pink romance. Although it was raining on the day I went, the white waves were rolling in layers, accompanied by the sound of rain, like a poet reciting an immortal poem loudly, with a unique elegance. In such an atmosphere, it is easier to find another self deep in the soul. Because of the rain, I missed the only mini golf course in Hainan and many seaside amusement projects, but watching the sea quietly is already a luxury. The hotel has six restaurants and bars, and every meal here is well taken care of. The oil-splashed noodles in the Taste restaurant are especially delicious, and the Chinese food in the Chinese Elements restaurant and the Western food in the Zhiwei restaurant are also of high quality. Staying here, you can taste local Hainan cuisine and global specialties without leaving the hotel. If I want to give myself a perfect holiday next time, I will still choose here.

The Westin Shimei Bay Resort, Wanning: A Fun Family Vacation!

We took a spontaneous trip to Wanning, Hainan with our little one. Under the blue sky and white clouds, we strolled along Shimei Bay, with the sea breeze gently brushing our cheeks. The air was filled with a faint salty and floral scent, making us feel relaxed and happy. Here, you can find miles of golden beaches and lush green forests surrounding you, as if you were walking into a vivid painting. Today, I want to share with you our experience at The Westin Shimei Bay Resort, Wanning. It will definitely make you fall in love with it! 🌳 Dance with Nature, Dream Back to the Depths of the Green Forest 🌿 As soon as you step into the hotel lobby, you will be amazed by its open design, which is more than 20 meters high, as if the whole space is breathing. Looking up at the sky, the sunlight shines through the glass, creating beautiful light and shadow. The most surprising thing is that no matter where you are, you can feel the call of the green forest - everything is full of greenery, and even the air seems to be fresher.

Winter family trip to Haikou and Wanning.

This winter vacation, I took my child to Hainan to escape the cold. Instead of going to the popular Sanya, we went to the relatively unpopular Haikou and Wanning. On the first day, we took a direct flight from Shanghai Hongqiao to Haikou Meilan Airport, planning to spend two days in Haikou. On the second day, we went to have the local specialty morning tea. There was a famous traditional Laobacha (a type of tea) shop not far from the hotel, so we walked there. The morning tea was very rich, and we tasted many dim sum that we had never tried before. After checking out in the afternoon, we checked in to the second hotel of this trip, Sofitel Haikou. The hotel lobby was very grand, and I recommend staying in a sea view room, as the view is great. You can take a taxi to Holiday Beach and Qilou Old Street from the hotel. On the third day, we bought high-speed rail tickets in advance and departed from Haikou East Station to Wanning. We got off at Shenzhou Station and took a taxi directly to The Westin Shimei Bay Resort. We booked a first-line sea view room for two nights. Although the price doubled during the peak season, it was still worth it. The scenery was so beautiful. The hotel has a private beach and offers a variety of family activities for children. You can enjoy a quiet and leisurely holiday without leaving the hotel. For dining, I recommend Taiqiong Zaopo Vinegar Sour Soup Hot Pot, which is not far from the hotel. It is very local and delicious. On the fourth day, we took a taxi to Riyue Bay, a famous attraction in Wanning. It is worthy of being a surfing mecca, as the waves there are really big, which is very suitable for surfing enthusiasts to challenge. The nearby popular seaside church is also worth a visit. On the fifth day, we went to Shenzhou Peninsula. After checking out at noon, we went directly to the last hotel of this trip, Sheraton. This hotel should be quite old, but the facilities are still good. It is quite close to the popular lighthouse, so you can go and have a look if you have time. On the sixth day, we bought high-speed rail tickets for the afternoon. We also took the time to have the famous Dongshan Goat Hot Pot for lunch. We took the high-speed rail directly to Meilan Station and flew back to Shanghai.

No turning back! This is how to enjoy a seven-day self-driving trip in Hainan with kids

Having been to Hainan several times, I have summarized a perfect self-driving route along the east coast of Hainan, ideal for traveling with kids. In seven days, you can travel from Haikou to Sanya without retracing your steps, enjoying breathtaking scenery all the way. The most convenient way to travel with kids is, of course, to rent a car. Rent in Haikou and return in Sanya, very convenient. - Route: Meilan Airport➡Wenchang➡Shenzhou Peninsula➡Shimei Bay➡Riyue Bay➡Lingshui➡Phoenix Airport - First Stop: Wenchang After picking up the car at the airport, head straight to Wenchang and check into the Hilton at Qishui Bay, where you can step out directly onto the glassy sea. Since you are traveling with kids, it's not recommended to visit popular tourist spots. A few minutes' drive from the hotel, you can go to the beach and catch big starfish. Of course, you can't miss the local delicacies, especially since the prices in Wenchang are almost half of those in Wanning. Tan Niu Wenchang Chicken, Puzhen Zao Po Vinegar, Lao Ba Tea, and Yue Bai Wei Seafood Processing Workshop are all worth trying. - Second Stop: Shenzhou Peninsula After much deliberation between the Hyatt and the Sheraton, we chose the Sheraton because it is closer to the beach (and cheaper). The kids loved the sea swings, carousel, and T-shaped pool so much that we didn't leave the hotel at all, not even to visit the lighthouse or the coastal road. If there is a sunset, I recommend trying the hotel's sunset restaurant. - Third Stop: Shimei Bay One of the most beautiful bays in Hainan, with a six-kilometer stretch of turquoise sea and silver beach. Between the Le Méridien and the Westin, I chose the Westin because it offers more activities for kids, keeping them busy from morning till night, and even has paid childcare. However, its pool is not as beautiful as Le Méridien's, and because the pink beach is right at the hotel, there are many outsiders entering. - Fourth Stop: Riyue Bay A paradise for surfers, but since the kids are too young, we chose the Gift Sea View B&B away from the coast. The white buildings and sea-view pool are very photogenic, and we tried staying overnight in an RV for the first time, which almost dispelled my idea of buying an RV. - Fifth Stop: Lingshui Lingshui has many beautiful spots, but this time I chose the long-desired Boundary Island. The water here is crystal clear, with plenty of activities and even stingrays to feed. We stayed one night at the island's fishing club, choosing a sea-view wooden house. Apart from the inconvenience of getting around (calling for a sightseeing car in advance), everything else was perfect. - After leaving Boundary Island, we drove directly to Sanya Airport to return the car. This trip skipped the most popular Sanya and Haikou, opting for a more niche and sophisticated east coast loop. Of course, renting a car made the trip more convenient.

The Ting Bar at The Westin Wanning Resort embraces the coastal charm with open arms

The Ting Bar in the lobby of The Westin Wanning Resort is a charming place for relaxation. It is located in the hotel lobby, with an open design that allows close contact with nature. The sea breeze can blow in unobstructed, bringing the scent of the ocean. The interior is cozy and comfortable, with simple yet stylish tables and chairs. Every afternoon, this place becomes particularly inviting. Order a beer, sit on a chair, and you are greeted with a magnificent sea view and the distant Jiajing Island. The waves continuously crash against the shore, creating a rhythmic sound, and the sea surface glistens under the sunlight. Without the barrier of floor-to-ceiling windows, it feels as if you are part of this beautiful seascape, bringing a sense of ease and comfort. Here, you can take in the beauty of Shimei Bay, face the sea, admire the picturesque scenery of Jiajing Island, and watch various sea activities such as gliders and sailboats, making it a lively scene. In the Ting Bar, you can fully relax, let go of all worries and trivial matters, embrace the coastal charm with open arms, and let time slowly pass in this wonderful moment.

7-day self-driving tour around the island on the east route of Hainan—Sanya, Wanning, Wenchang, and Haikou

7-day Hainan East Route self-driving around the island - Sanya, Wanning, Wenchang, Haikou || First of all, Hainan is really a place that is particularly suitable for self-driving around the island, because the driving distance between cities is short, basically within 1-2 hours Within 3 hours, even from Haikou to Sanya it will not take more than 3 hours. The road conditions are super good all the way. The key is that the highway is free! High speed is free! High speed is free! 1️⃣My itinerary Sanya (3 nights) - Wanning (1 night) 1.5 hours drive Wanning - Wenchang (1 night) 1.8h drive Wenchang - Haikou (1 night) 1.5 hours drive Haikou - Sanya Airport 3 hours drive 2️⃣The hotel I stayed in Sanya: Fairmont Haitang Bay Wanning: Westin Shimei Bay Wenchang: Luneng Hilton Haikou: Huacai Intercontinental 3️⃣Reviews of sea views and beaches in various places 🌊Sanya Haitang Bay 🌊Wanning Shimei): The sea water is blue and the waves are big, suitable for surfing. The beach sand is not as fine as Haitang Bay, but it is still soft. The Westin Hotel has a pink beach, which is very popular. 🌊Wenchang Qishui Bay): The sea water is blue, the wind is strong, and the shore is covered with rocks. The sand is hard and not suitable for bare feet, but the coconut trees on the reef beach also have a unique flavor. 🌊Haikou: There’s nothing special about it... 4️⃣Food and attractions 🍜Sanya: Dregs and vinegar hot pot, refreshing and refreshing; if you have enough time, you can go to Nanshan Scenic Area to see Guanyin and make a wish devoutly. 🍜Wanning: Lingshui sour noodles, snacks from Xinglong Farmers’ Market (Banlan cake, Banlan coconut glutinous rice strips, coconut crispbread); Xinglong Town is worth a quick car trip and has the style of an overseas Chinese village. 🍜Wenchang: Coconut chicken, Hainanese chicken rice, dim sum at Wangxi Tea House; be sure to go to Stone Park to see the coastline, and you can go to the old street or not. 🍜Haikou: Various snacks on Qilou Old Street (my personal favorite is dry-mixed Hainanese noodles). 5️⃣Other tips 💡Wanning and Sanya are very close, with similar sea views, and a good sense of leisure and vacation. However, the hotel price in Wanning will be lower than that in Sanya, and there are not as many people as in Sanya, so it is more cost-effective! 💡Wenchang Wangxi Teahouse is very crowded and it doesn’t close in the afternoon. You can try your best to get a seat after 2pm so it’s easier to get a seat. Not all the snacks inside are delicious, but the biggest feature is that they are super cheap! 💡Haikou Qilou Old Street is a large block. You don’t have to crowd with tourists in those Internet celebrity shops, you can just find a restaurant on the small street and the taste is not bad. 💡To go back to Sanya from Haikou or from Sanya to Haikou, you don’t have to take the Seaside Expressway. You can also take the Haisan Expressway that runs across the middle and pass by Qiongzhong and Wuzhishan Scenic Area. The road scenery is very good.

As always, 🏕🪁 Marriott Bonvoy Titanium member check-in was upgraded to a luxurious garden view suite, with an overall area of an exaggerated 122㎡, 🎁🪂 giving a very strong vacation feeling. The Heavenly Bed is as highly praised as ever! Compared to Sanya, the beach in Wanning is finer and softer, 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️ and the sea water is clearer. The famous Jiajing Island is right opposite the hotel. If you stay here for more than two days, it is recommended to take a day to play on Jiajing Island. 🧶♥ The lobby bar has a band performance every afternoon. Listening to music, drinking afternoon tea, and watching the sunset feels so great🌺. Tips: Hotel: Wanning Shimei Bay Westin Resort🍹🍹

Are you ready for Wanning tourism? Local advice you'll regret not reading!

Dear friends, as a native of Wanning, I must give you some sincere advice! The tourism boom in Wanning is heating up, and I really can't help but expose those speechless pitfalls! 🔥🔥🔥First of all, the consumption at Riyue Bay is ridiculously high! A cup of coffee costs 45 yuan, a burger 98 yuan, it's simply daylight robbery! Even locals can't afford it, let alone you! Don't go there for a main meal, it's outrageously expensive and the taste is just average. 🚗🚗🚗Secondly, the road conditions near Riyue Bay's Coconut Palm Road are super congested, so narrow it's maddening! Trust me, taking a taxi or riding a small electric scooter is the wise choice. If you drive yourself, you'll be stuck in traffic doubting your life choices, and you might not even find a parking spot! 🍜🍜🍜Also, there are many delicious local snacks hidden in Xinglong Town, don't miss out! You can also buy cheap and tasty tropical fruits, and you can bargain if you buy more! Girls, don't rent those Snoopy electric cars, they have a heavy front and are too unfriendly for you! A regular small electric car costs about 60 yuan a day, and you can bargain! It's even cheaper to rent electric cars in Tianxin Village! 🌅🌅🌅After getting off at Riyue Bay in Shenzhou Peninsula, you have to walk another 2 kilometers? Don't worry, the villagers' sightseeing car is super convenient for a round trip at 20 yuan! Going around 5 pm is the best to avoid the scorching sun! The beach bar at the Westin Hotel is open to the public, the pink sand is stunningly beautiful, and you'll become an instant internet sensation with your photos! 🐮🐮🐮The air is super fresh at Qiaohai Ranch in the morning, and the small animals are full of vitality! Wear a plain-colored dress for excellent photo effects! But don't forget, after feeding the animals, don't litter plastic bags, protect the environment! 🚫🚫🚫The shops recommended by aunties and drivers on the roadside are 99% shills! For delicious food, go to reputable big restaurants, especially seafood restaurants! Lin Jie's Fragrant Seafood near Shimei Bay is explosively good, the salt and pepper mantis shrimp and green pepper crab are unforgettable! 🏄‍♀🏄‍♀🏄‍♀Want to surf? Find a regular professional surfing club and coach! Riyue Bay is suitable for intermediates, and Shimei Bay is more suitable for beginners! The best time for lessons is from 8-10 am or 4-6 pm to avoid sunburn! 📚📚📚Fenghuang Jiuli Book House, Bali Village, M1 Coffee Factory? Don't bother, you can finish visiting in half an hour, really not that interesting! 🌅🌅🌅Finally, don't forget to visit the same Corona Sunset Bar as Yi Mengling! Going around 5 pm is the best, the sunset view and the evening atmosphere are intoxicating, and the photos are incredibly beautiful! Well, that's all the advice, be sure to keep it in mind! Wanning is waiting for you to explore, but don't forget to avoid these pitfalls!

Enjoy a two-day trip to Wanning without any tourist traps with this super comprehensive guide

Wanning's sea😍 is breathtakingly beautiful👏! There you'll find coconut palm beaches🌴 and endless shades of blue💙. This summer😄, if you're feeling down😔, just go to Wanning and see the sea😜! When the sea breeze blows🎈, only freedom and happiness remain😝. 🚝Transportation: 📌It's recommended to fly to Haikou🛫, which is more economical. The high-speed train station🚄 is right below Meilan Airport, and it takes only about 1 hour to get from Meilan to Wanning or Shenzhou👀. 📌Shenzhou Station is closer to the attractions🤩, while Wanning Station is a bit further away😕. 🏠Accommodation options: There are mainly 4 areas to stay in Wanning, namely Shenzhou Peninsula🌴, Shimei Bay🎄, Riyue Bay🌙, and Xinglong Town🎉. 📌Shenzhou Peninsula and Shimei Bay have a better overall environment with high-end hotels🏢. 📌Riyue Bay mostly has homestays🏘. 📌During holidays or peak seasons, accommodation prices in the above three areas can multiply several times. Staying in Wanning city area is much more affordable. It only takes 7 minutes from Wanning Station to Shenzhou Station by high-speed train, and after arriving at Shenzhou, taking a taxi can save a lot of money💰. 🎡Must-visit places: 📌Shenzhou Peninsula: 1. Qiaohai Ranch: There are big white geese🦢, water buffaloes🐂, and ducklings🦆, as well as green lawns and hillsides full of areca trees, making it a great photo spot📷. 2. Sheraton Hotel Beach + Sea Swing + Corona Sunset Bar: The beach is decorated with paddleboards and a carousel🎠. To the left is the sea swing and Corona Sunset Bar, and to the right is the direction of the lighthouse🗼. 3. Lighthouse: Highly recommended to walk from Sheraton along the beach to the lighthouse in the afternoon, it's extremely beautiful. The sea area is wide, the waves are white, and the gradient blue is the richest and most beautiful among all beaches. You can also pick up small seashells🐚. After leaving the lighthouse, it's advised to take a sightseeing car as the walking distance is quite far🚶. 📌Shimei Bay: Navigate to 1. Wilderness Beach Bar, and after visiting, walk up the road where there are markets all along; further up is the Sea-view Pavilion, below which is a beach that is the second most beautiful place after Shenzhou Peninsula. The sea is clear and gradient, with rocks that make for great photos without filters; further ahead is the Westin Hotel, with pink loungers and parasols on the beach, a casual snap brings an instant chill vibe🤳. 📌Riyue Bay: Its features are the Coconut Palm Road and seaside shops, but personally, I don't like it much here. It feels like an overpriced seaside night market with an average environment. When it's crowded, there's no cell signal, and it's especially prone to traffic jams🚗. 1. The church is on Sun Island, a fair distance from Coconut Palm Road. Besides the church, the blue fence next to Coconut Palm Road and the pile of coconuts at the entrance of Haimen Coconut Shop are worth photographing (but the price of coconuts is three times higher than elsewhere)🥥. 📌Xinglong Town: 1. Bali Village, just take photos at the entrance🤳. Opinions on the popular restaurant with Southeast Asian flavors vary, so I didn't go. Instead, I went to Huananbao, which tasted quite good. There's another restaurant across from Huananbao that's also popular, and locals say it's good too🤤. 💜Two-day trip itinerary: D❶Bali Village➠Xinglong lunch➠Shimei Bay (Wilderness Beach Bar→Roadside Market→Sea-view Pavilion→Westin Hotel Beach)➠Riyue Bay🤩. D❷One-day trip to Shenzhou Peninsula Qiaohai Ranch➠Lunch with coconut chicken➠Sea Swing➠Corona Sunset Bar➠Sheraton Hotel Beach➠Walk along the beach to the lighthouse➠Leave by sightseeing car🚌.

Stay at the Wanning Westin Resort for an experience evaluation

Wanning Shimei Bay Westin Resort 👍Highly recommended: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 ❤Reasons for recommendation: The hotel has a large private beach, with fine and soft sand. The sunlight shines on the sea surface, presenting different shades of blue, which is very beautiful! 🚉Transportation strategy: The hotel has a shuttle bus going back and forth to the duty-free shop every day, pay attention to the bus schedule 💰Average consumption: 1500 yuan

Indeed, it is the number one scenic spot in Wanning!

This time, I took my child to Wanning and chose the Wanning No.1 Scenic Spot Hotel, which is labeled by Ctrip, the Westin Blue Bay Resort & Spa! We drove from Sanya to the hotel, which took about an hour. If you are coming from Haikou, you can also take the high-speed train to Wanning Station or Shenzhou Station. As soon as you enter the hotel, the beautiful scenery that catches your eye will definitely dazzle you! The super high atrium roof shows off luxury, and the hotel lobby boasts a unique and stunning view in Hainan! The hotel has three restaurants with different flavors to satisfy everyone's taste buds. You can choose your favorite dishes according to personal preference. The key point is that the consumption is not high, and the average cost is about 150 yuan per person, which is quite good! If you stay for a longer time, you can also choose the commercial street opposite the hotel, which has many dining shops and convenience stores, making dining and shopping very convenient! For activities, I highly recommend the beach off-road quad biking. The price is not very high, and it varies between the peak and off-peak seasons. Remember to bargain during the off-peak season! I took my child to experience this activity, and it was really exhilarating. I have a video in my other notes, and you can choose to watch it! Finally, I would like to sincerely thank Dana Chen, a staff member at the hotel's Chinese Element Restaurant. I can feel your passion for your work and your love for your hotel. Thank you very much, it was your meticulous service that made me feel the warmth of family!

I've been living abroad for 2 weeks now, let's talk about it comprehensively

✍Let's talk about everything from clothing, food, accommodation, transportation, to entertainment that everyone is concerned about. 👙Clothing: It's very hot in March, summer outfits. The indoors are humid, so bring extra clothes. Swimsuits are a must. 🥥Food: Ate out a lot in the first week. In Haikou, Sanya, Lingshui, Wanning, the cost of eating is about the same, fast food is about 30 per person, ordering from the menu is 60-100, and popular restaurants are over 120 per person. Must-tries include Wenchang chicken, Zao Zuo vinegar hotpot, and Qingbu Liang. No need to go to internet-famous stores deliberately, just eat wherever you go, and it all feels pretty good. In the second week, bought groceries, fresh seafood, cooked by myself, reliable and less expensive. 🏚Accommodation: Rented a duplex apartment in Lingshui Li'an Villa area, with a clubhouse and swimming pool, 2500/month. It's comfortable for 3-4 people, better than a hotel. 🛥Entertainment: Beaches and the sea are not worth much, almost no cost involved, expenses are for water activities. 🌴Places like Wenchang's Mulan Bay, Wanning's Riyue Bay, Shimei Bay, Lingshui's Qingshui Bay are enough for taking photos and checking in. If you want atmosphere, go to the beach area of Le Meridien or Westin in Shimei Bay. You don't have to stay at the hotel to go there and can spend half a day. 🏄🏻Water activities: Personal favorites: surfing, wakeboarding, yachting. Try to do it in Wanning, where there's an all-inclusive price. Sanya is full of low-price traps with poor experiences. Paddleboarding, not recommended at internet-famous spots, spending hundreds for a few unimpressive photos is not meaningful. 🎗In summary: 1⃣To enjoy Hainan, you need plenty of time, more than 5 days. 2⃣For accommodation and transportation, opt for quality short-term rentals, or if staying in a hotel, choose top-tier hotels, they are expensive for a reason. Then rent a car or find a local driver-cum-guide, but make sure they are reliable. 3⃣Focus on Wanning, Lingshui, Baoting as the main areas, which have both culture and beautiful scenery.

Wanning is truly beautiful without ever having to leave the country

When you come here, you will realize that the dreamy sea doesn't require a trip to Southeast Asia! The beauty and passion of Sanya are like a blazing fire, while Wanning is a tranquil sapphire, dazzling yet understated, beautiful yet luxurious. Transportation tips: Wanning does not have an airport, take a high-speed train from Sanya/Haikou/Qionghai ①The high-speed train to Wanning Station is close to the city center ②Shenzhou Station is near scenic areas (Shimei Bay, Shenzhou Peninsula, etc.). Highlights: Wanning's new Tanwan Cliff for sea viewing The mountain is slippery, be careful, but it's really beautiful, recommended to go on a sunny day! Fenjiezhou Island Take a boat to the island, there are many attractions inside! Wanning's most beautiful glass sea! Riyue Bay Beach, Shanqin Bay, Swallow Cave Recommended for watching the sunrise, super surprising! Drive to Shanqin Bay Swallow Cave from the beach, there are black reefs on the beach! A huge movie scene, feels like being abroad! Wanning Shenzhou Peninsula Coastal Highway Navigate to Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse Shenzhou Peninsula A super beautiful seaside bar, also a location from the movie 'The Disappearing Her', sitting by the sea drinking, watching the sunset. Riyue Bay The most beautiful coastal coconut palm road, grom coffee floor-to-ceiling windows, bigger than movie's floor-to-ceiling windows! Go to Sunac Riyue Bay Church, a photo spot from the TV series 'Summer Flowers'! About accommodation Wanning mainly has four areas: Shenzhou Peninsula, Shimei Bay, Riyue Bay, Xinglong Town ①Riyue Bay: Many homestays, affordable prices ②Wanning City, good value for money, Wanning Station to Shenzhou Station high-speed train only takes 7 minutes, taking a taxi to Shenzhou saves a lot of money ③If you have enough budget, you can stay in Shimei Bay and China Peninsula, where the sand is softer, the sea quality is better, fewer people and quiet, you can relax in the hotel. Westin, Le Meridien, and Sheraton are all here. Food recommendations Coconut chicken: The taste of the chicken is really fresh and juicy Qiongzhou Zaozao vinegar: A seafood control gospel, cool sour and spicy, delicious for seafood hot pot.

Wanning Shimei Bay Westin

I saw the sunrise at Wanning Shimei Bay Westin, enjoyed the buffet dinner at the seaside restaurant, and I must say, both the sunrise and the sunset are romantic. The sea and sky with their natural filters also make for a pleasant mood, perfect for enjoying the summer! The room is just a few minutes' walk from the beach, where you can experience a helicopter ride🚁. There are three swimming pools: a children's pool, an adult pool, and an indoor pool, all offering great experiences, although there is no seaside pool. The children's play area is not very big, but overall, as a family-friendly hotel in Wanning, it is recommended
