Tianjia Town, which literally translates as Blue and White Cities. Cute streets and neighborhoods in white and blue colors, small houses on the coast and cozy cafes with terraces right on the beach, bars and shops, souvenir shops and guest houses - all this is Tanija - an atypical quarter for China. It is better to come to the area closer to the evening to admire the sunset in one of the restaurants. We stopped here on the way back from the Taoist park Heavenly Grottoes. It takes about an hour to get from the park and the same amount of time from Dadonghai Bay. You can get there by buses 25 and 30. As they wrote earlier, it is better to take route 30, it has more seats and it goes faster because it makes fewer stops along the way. 📍Name of the place in Chinese 天涯小镇游客服务中心 #hainan #sanya

Baihualing Tropical Rainforest is one of the best natural places to visit in Hainan Island. One of the main attractions of Baihualing is its stunning waterfalls.

After exploring nature, finishing with a burst of adrenaline and fun is the best thing to end the day. Apart from these two attractions there are many other spots to explore. I highly recommend purchasing a ticket for the sightseeing bus because the area is really large. . . . #traveldiaries #hainan #nature #waterfalls #rainforest #hainanisland #naturepark

#myitinerary Hainan has some of the most amazing hiking places. This is seven fairy mountains. The steep staircase provides the perfect location for a great morning exercise, leg day!

At the very top of the mountain there is one final stretch only reachable by a chain hanging down the rockface. Do attempt with caution and good shoes.

The rainforest in Hainan is rich with hundreds of species of butterflies. Extremely difficult to capture because they don’t sit still long enough. These photos were taken in the biggest Rainforest of Hainan called Jianfengling. Accessible by car, it’s strongly advised to take your own transportation and a full tank of fuel as gas stations are far from the rainforest. 🌧️ Clouds and rain is very common after lunchtime 🦟 There are mosquitoes along the path #100waysoftravel #trip #familytrip #localguides #summervacation #instatravel #hainan #sanya #animals #rainforest #holidayvacation #holiday #hotel
