2016 is the Year of the Monkey, and Nanwan Monkey Island is the first scenic spot we chose to visit. If you like to get up close to monkeys, I recommend going there, but don't go during the Spring Festival. First of all, you will have to wait for 2 hours or more to take the cable car, unless you line up very early. The monkeys are cute and the scenery is beautiful, but the most profound feeling after a day is that everyone! Yes! People!

By Jiao Youyou |

There are three ways to get to Nanwan Monkey Island: the first is to take the Tanka people's bus boat at the Xincun Wharf for 1 yuan, or 2 yuan on holidays to the wharf on the other side, and then take a negotiable private shuttle bus, which costs about 100 yuan for a round trip (of course, you can also walk about 30 minutes to the area where there are monkeys). The electric car can take you to the gate of the Monkey Island scenic area, or take you to Nanwan Village where you can watch monkeys for free without a ticket.

The second option is to take the cable car from Xincun Pier. It is said that the overlooking view is also very good, but I have not actually experienced it.

The third is to drive to Nanwan Village. After entering Monkey Island, you can see monkeys along the way. When we went there, there was traffic control at the gate due to the Spring Festival flow restriction. After negotiations, we were able to enter the Monkey Island area. After entering, we used a drone to see the scenery of Monkey Island, which was still very pleasing to the eye!

Live by the mountain and eat by the sea. The delicious seafood stimulates my taste buds. It is so authentic. I fell in love with it. The deliciousness is as shown in the picture

In the misty Water Curtain Cave, the Monkey King is ordering his troops to take charge. Children, stand in line!

By Tianshan |

There are too many people, and you have to wait in line for a long time to enter and exit the island. The island is not large, and it is really not worth the 180 yuan ticket. It is just a place for children to play.

Let me write a serious and practical guide! I did a lot of homework before going, but there was nothing useful. Some people said good things, some said bad things, and no one talked about the key points! My original intention was to be able to have fun when other scenic spots have limited conditions and I want to have fun! For details, please see my guide!

By Chanyeol's little fangirl 💕 |

As soon as I got in the cable car and said I was going to watch a small theater performance below, I was bitten three times by a monkey. I hurried out to the hospital for an injection and told the staff. The staff said that I touched the monkey. I didn’t even touch it, so it said that I touched it first. In the end, I got 21 injections in total 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤬🐒

The longest cross-sea cable car! My dad's heart is beating wildly again, and all the beautiful scenery is in full view

By Bright Days Without Love |

The Monkey Island is nice. We also saw 5 monkeys from the team holding flags. They were chained and couldn't move freely through the woods. The tour guide said that they ate better because they held flags. They could eat some fruit while other monkeys were fed rice. I heard a sad mood spreading, so I immediately took out Wang Wang senbei to feed them.

Later I saw two more monkeys inside and wanted to feed them again, so I took out the bread and tried to break it apart, but suddenly I felt a weight on my head and shoulders, and when I turned around, I was face to face with a monkey that jumped down from a tree. It was not afraid of me at all, and it snatched my bread and ran away, and I was scared. The monkeys were really ugly when I looked closely. My bag was still open at the time, and there were other food in it. Then I saw another monkey running towards me at a very fast speed. My scalp was numb, and I couldn't help but scream loudly. Then I saw the staff trying their best to run over, shouting loudly to drive away the monkeys and hitting them with slingshots. I felt very conflicted. I thanked the staff for trying their best to help me, but I also felt sorry for the monkeys. They didn't want to attack me, they were just hungry and greedy.

So later, I dared to feed the monkeys. I took out the food and threw it out quickly, but I didn’t dare to take pictures with the monkeys. My husband said that I was scared. But I was very happy that I had been there. The monkeys were not harmful. They just wanted food like children.

I don't think it's worth the price, it's too commercial! But the scenery is nice. Going there is a cable car 🚡 and coming back is a boat 🚢

Nanwan Monkey Island is located on the Nanwan Peninsula, about 14 kilometers south of Lingshui County, Hainan Province. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, it is the only island-type macaque nature reserve in my country and the world. To get to the Monkey Island, you need to take a cable car, which takes about 10 minutes. The cable car body has no glass and is 6 or 7 stories high from the ground. In the distance are the fishing boats of the Tanka people who live on the sea. They make a living by fishing and have lived here for generations.

On the bus to Monkey Island, the tour guide told us that going to Monkey Island is different from going to other attractions, and for our safety, he made the following requirements:

Don't wear red clothes when you go to Monkey Island, otherwise the female monkeys will be jealous and tear your clothes.

1. Don’t carry things like plastic bags in your hands, otherwise the monkeys will think they are food and come up to snatch it.

2. Do not carry any drinks or food with you as the monkeys will quickly snatch them away.

3. When feeding monkeys, you should feed them all at once. If you leave some food in your hand, the monkeys will think you are teasing them and rush to grab it.

4. Do not make eye contact with monkeys for a long time, otherwise, they will think you are teasing them and will come up to bite and steal your things.

5. The monkeys on Nanwan Monkey Island have been domesticated and are very smart, so don't open your bags in front of them, such as camera bags, handbags, etc. They will think you are going to give them food and will jump up to grab your things.

6. If a naughty monkey jumps on your shoulder (this happens often), don't be afraid or scream. Just spread your hands to show that you have no food for it, it will understand and leave.

7. Don’t wear sunglasses, or they will be snatched away by jealous and ambiguous monkeys.

By Half drunk and half awake, acting cool_nice |

To be honest, the scenery along the cable car is better than on the island. Below is the fish farm of the Tanka family. The monkey peed on my husband's vest. It is still worth going to see.

By Keke's mother |

To be honest, it's not big. You can buy a ticket with cable car or ferry. We went there in the morning and took the cable car back. But it was very short and we arrived in the blink of an eye. There are performances on Monkey Island, but to be honest, it's very commercial. The performance on Monkey Island should be mainly about performances. The first thing is to sell words for 300 yuan per set. You also need to pay for riding horses. Then there is a monkey comedy. The old man who amuses the monkeys speaks a little hard to understand. Taking pictures with monkeys also costs 20 yuan per picture. The most interesting thing is that the monkeys are disobedient. Close it tightly and remember not to zip up your bag when you go inside. The aunt who accompanied us zipped up her bag to get her phone. The monkey saw it and immediately jumped down and ate the bread in the bag.

By Lin He's Musical Journey |

I think it's worth seeing. The monkeys are so cute and the little monkeys are very obedient. Moreover, the ten-minute cable car ride is also very pleasing to the eyes, with mountains, sea, and people all in sight.

Before I came to Sanya, I had already developed a great curiosity about this scenic spot in the guide. If you like to get close to monkeys, it is recommended to go. Why do you say you are curious about this attraction? The monkeys here live in groups. Because they are wild free-range macaques, you can see monkeys everywhere as soon as you step into this mountain. They are about 50 in a group, led by the monkey king. The monkey king is relatively large in height. If you are lucky enough to see it, you will find that its natural leadership style does not care about you at all. If you scare it or make a threatening move, it will summon a group of its younger brothers to beat you. The little monkey will not take the initiative to attack people, but the scenic spot has a clear regulation that you cannot bring drinks and food to the island, because the monkey will grab it. If you don’t give it, it will bite you. Most tourists will be very obedient. There are exceptions for some, but for safety reasons, it is recommended not to bring food and drinks. Monkey Island is not very big, and it can be visited in less than two hours. There is a buffet on the island for 68 yuan per person.

Note:

1. Don't wear brightly colored clothes. Female monkeys are very jealous, especially during the estrus period. If you wear more beautiful clothes than her, she will think that others will only look at you and not her, then she will get angry and do some unsafe things towards you.

2. Don’t open your bag to take things out in front of a monkey, as it will think you are finding food for it. Don’t put your bag on the ground alone when taking pictures, as it will open the zipper of your bag to take things out when you are not paying attention.

3. Don't scare it, yell at it, stamp your feet or make gestures at it with your fists. It will think that you are going to do something bad to it or even provoke it.

4. Those who bring children should be careful not to let them come into contact with monkeys alone to avoid getting scratched. There are thousands of monkeys on the island. If they are really scratched, you will not be able to catch them or recognize which monkey it is. Do not let your children cry or make a fuss in front of the monkeys.

5. There will be people selling melon seeds in the scenic area. If you want to feed the monkeys, feed them all at once and don't tease them, as they will swarm over to snatch the food.

The afternoon itinerary is the shopping attractions that are a must for the tour group. Although it is called a shopping attraction, if you keep a calm mind, it is also a scenic spot full of ethnic atmosphere.

I went to Monkey Island by car. I stayed in Jinjiang, a half-mountain in Dadonghai. I followed the navigation to Monkey Island. It was 65 kilometers and 1 hour and 20 minutes. After getting off the highway, I had to walk a long way. The speed limit was 40-60 all the way. It was so depressing to drive. I arrived at Monkey Island at 11 o'clock and exchanged tickets to board the island. I queued for 20 minutes to get on the cable car. The whole journey took 7 minutes. It was very exciting. My 6-year-old daughter was so scared that she hid in her mother's arms the whole time. There are many monkeys on the island. Each of them stared at the tourists' hands with their little eyes. I witnessed several robberies. The most dangerous thing was that there were two male tourists feeding, and there were a group of monkeys around them. They were a little scared, so they shouted at the monkeys. The monkeys began to show their teeth and confronted for a long time. Finally, the security guards drove them away with slingshots... After enjoying the battle between humans and monkeys, I went to see the monkey acrobatics. The performance time was too short and the children liked it very much. I took the children to stroll around slowly, turned around 2 times and left the island in an hour. I didn't feel regretful because I had done enough strategies before. After getting off the island, we went to the beach next to the parking lot. The water was clear and the sand was fine. Most importantly, there were few people and the original atmosphere was strong! My daughter didn't want to leave when she came. She played for 2 hours and was dragged away by her mother until she was tired.

Generally speaking, Monkey Island is more suitable for bringing children to play. When you come to Monkey Island, you must go to the beach next to the parking lot. You can also see fishermen picking coconuts on the spot.

We went to Monkey Island at 4pm. The cableway experience was pretty good. There was no glass and 360° ventilation. The cableway took less than five minutes to reach the scenic area. The scenery was nice along the way! You can see the Tanka Fishing Raft (a village living on boats) (locals take a boat from the pier to another pier for one yuan per person. You can go and experience it). In fact, after arriving on land, we walked around Monkey Island for 20 minutes and then came out. The monkeys on the island were all trained and pitiful. The monkeys ran away as soon as the trainer waved the rope or the security guard took the slingshot. There was nothing to see, so I don't recommend going there. You can go and see the Tanka Fishing Raft.

By eyestar |

The management of ticket sales and ticket checking is not good, and the development is not perfect. There are not many monkeys in the scenic area, but it is very good to be able to get close to them.

Hainan Nanwan Monkey Island is located on the Nanwan Peninsula in Lingshui County, Hainan Province. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides. It is the only island-type macaque nature reserve in my country and the world.

By yiyiweiya |

It was pretty good. There were a lot of monkeys. You also have to be careful not to hold anything in your hands, because they will stare at you and snatch your food. When watching the show, the monkeys are also very naughty. If you want to play tricks on them, they will also play tricks on you! When taking the cable car over, there are many Tanka fishing houses below, which is very interesting.

By Lazy Cat |

There are nearly 400 species of tropical plants, nearly 100 species of animals, a pristine natural environment and more than 2,500 macaques, a second-class protected animal on the island, so people call it "Monkey Island". It is the only island-type macaque nature reserve in my country.

You need to take the cable car up.

By South of the South |

We signed up for a tour. We didn't see any monkeys on Monkey Island, but we did get to see the life of the Tanka people along the way. After we got to the island, we went to a club. There was a beach next to the club. There was no one there when we went there. Everyone in the group got to experience a jet ski, which was very thrilling at high speed. Then we caught crabs on the beach and enjoyed the sea breeze. It was a rare outdoor life.

There are also bonfire parties and barbecue dinners in the evening. Life is quite rich, but it seems that you need to join a group to participate, so it’s hard to say whether you can travel independently.

By Snowy morning |

The scenery of Monkey Island can also be found in other places, so it cannot be considered unique. However, it is a special feature when combined with the island scenery. If you are short on time and want to enjoy both seabird tours and ecological tours, this is of course the first choice. In addition, you can take a cable car to the island, which is also one of its special features.

The public service requirements cannot be too high, after all, there are many tourists and queues are inevitable. In addition, public services also require the cooperation of the public. There are many people and many things to do, so sometimes things are not done well, which is understandable. So I give it four stars. I can't say it's great, but I should say it's really good.

By Christine loves traveling |

The cable car scenery is good and there are many people queuing back

The monkeys on the island are really amazing. The performance is also good. The bonfire party in the evening is quite lively.

Don't eat at the fish steak place, an oyster costs 12 bucks, and there is only one type of shrimp that is not as big as a shrimp. Everything is overpriced.

By ME Fish |

I took my kids to see monkeys. It's far from downtown Sanya. I signed up for a one-day tour, but only spent half a day on Monkey Island. I also went to Coconut Village in the afternoon. The monkey show was quite attractive, but taking photos with the monkeys was charged separately, which was quite commercial. The monkeys were very good at snatching things. The shopping bag of a person next to me was snatched. Fortunately, I only had a backpack and didn't dare to use food to tease the monkeys. The cable car ride was great, it crossed the sea, and the cable car was the most worthwhile.

By Half-filled travel |

It is suitable for family trips, but young people should not go there. There are only two performances, so you can watch the others casually. You also have to be careful of monkeys snatching food. The scenery of the cable car is worth seeing, with the fish port and the inner sea. You can drive along the inner sea and ride to the other side of Jianling Beach, which is a deserted wild beach.

By Wang Xiaonian |

My son loves to ride the cable car, so he was very happy before going to the island. I didn't expect there were so many wild monkeys, it's worth a visit.

By Eric's Growth Journey |

The island is very small. The selling point is the cross-sea cableway, but you have to queue for two hours. I am tired and don't like it. This is my second time to go there. I don't recommend it.

By Green Jennifer |

Too small, 15 minutes to walk. If you are prone to motion sickness, it is not worth it. There is no scenery, and the performances of monkeys and goats are also cruel. The cableway across the sea is worth the ticket price, but I still think it is too far.

By Angel-Tatiana |

What makes this place special is that it has the world's first cross-sea and cross-mountain cableway. The feeling of sitting on the cableway is really great, and the scenery is also beautiful!

They are all monkeys! Very cute! You have to take the ropeway to get there! Be careful not to get scratched

Monkey Island, as the name suggests, is an island with many monkeys. They are all free-range on the mountain. It is very popular with children. The most worth mentioning thing is the beautiful scenery when taking the cable car up the mountain.

By Wu Jiaxi【Maggie_xixi】 |

My sons love Monkey Island very much. They look forward to hearing the stories of each monkey and watching the monkey performances.

By Dawei |

We went to Monkey Island the day after visiting Wuzhi Mountain. It was pretty good. Tickets were discounted by scanning the QR code at the ticket window. When we took the cable car, we saw fishing boats on the sea. They were so beautiful. The monkeys on the island were just like humans. If you have a plastic bag in your hand, they will think it is food and take the initiative to grab it. They will be scared. There are many monkeys and they are free. The show is average, but it is still good to play!

By Dry Skiing |

Monkey Island is the home of monkeys, and tourists are visiting guests, so there was a group of monkeys standing there holding small flags to welcome us! When they got tired of holding the flags, they dropped them and tried to run away, but they couldn’t run away because they were tied with ropes... So cute.

Nanwan Monkey Island is located on the Nanwan Peninsula, about 14 kilometers south of Lingshui County, Hainan Province. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is the only island-type macaque nature reserve in my country and the world. In addition to nearly 400 species of tropical plants, nearly 100 species of animals, the original natural environment and more than 2,500 macaques, which are protected by the second category of the state, the island is called "Monkey Island". It is the only island-type macaque nature reserve in my country. At present, the second phase of the seaside project, the Romantic Tianyuan Scenic Area, is also open to the public. Since the scenic area is on the peninsula, if you want to enter the monkey island, you can choose to take the sightseeing cableway directly to the scenic area, or choose to take a boat to the peninsula's pier, and then take the scenic area's sightseeing bus to Nanwan Monkey Island. The time is roughly about 8-10 minutes. Entering the gate, the first thing you will see will be the Monkey Island Sculpture Square. You can see a monkey sitting in Darwin's "Origin of Species" holding a human skull and thinking. This sculpture is a replica of the gift sculpture given by Dr. Hammer, a famous American red capitalist, to Lenin, the former Soviet leader. After viewing the sculpture, come to the Huaguoshan Macaque Scenic Area. You can also see the welcoming guard of honor led by the monkey captain, holding high flags and cute macaques, and the macaque water park - "Sacred Bathing Pool", where you can see monkeys diving, swimming, and high-rise diving in the five-star swimming pool. You can also see macaques full of "humanity" in the macaque acrobatic performance area.

Nanwan Monkey Island is located in Xincun Port. It is the only island-type macaque nature reserve in China. The island is full of strange rocks and cute macaques. On the shore is a beautiful beach and the bustling Xincun fish market, with many fresh seafood and local fruits. There are traditional houses of the Tanka people in the bay. Most of them have opened sea restaurants to entertain foreign tourists.

There are two ways to get to Monkey Island - by boat or by cable car. I thought I would have many opportunities to take a boat in the future, so I chose the cable car. As a result, it was - unexpectedly, so! Beautiful! ! ! ! !

Monkey Island is called an island, but it is actually just a peninsula. There are many monkeys on the island.

Not all monkeys on Monkey Island are friendly. Sometimes they will suddenly rush up to you and snatch the food from your hands and run away when you open your bag and smell the fragrance of food.

Well, a whole bag of bread was stolen from the waiter...

Um...robbers...

By A passing cloud |

The monkeys here are much smaller than those in Mount Emei, but they will just as rudely snatch your food.

By ellipses |

We took the cable car up there. The view was average. It wasn't very big. There were monkeys inside.

By Xiapu Linsheng |

At Nanwan Monkey Island, everyone must protect themselves. In addition, you can also enjoy monkey art sketches, spiritual circus performances, take photos with the monkeys, and have close contact with them, which is quite interesting.

By Meow |

It is a unique place. Although it is small, the monkeys are playing around, which is very interesting and different from the feeling of a zoo. And the monkeys are very clean.

Thanks to China-TravelNote for providing me with a guide for self-guided tours. I am going to write a paragraph when I come back. I flew to Sanya on the 20th and booked the City Express Hotel next to the Summer Department Store through Ali Travel. The king-size bed room was only 180, and the conditions were average. It was just one of the many one-day tour stops. This time, Nanwan Monkey Island was booked through Meituan for a one-day tour, plus the Coconut Field Ancient Village. It cost 98 without buffet. The buffet cost an additional 50 yuan, and the food was average. The child was six years old, and the seat fee was 50 yuan. There were quite a lot of monkeys. I read in the guide that monkeys would snatch bags, but I felt it was okay and quite well-behaved. The cableway is still different from that of Hong Kong Ocean Park, but it is still pretty good. I went there on Monday and queued for half an hour for the cableway. Some elderly people took out fruits to eat, but the monkeys peeked on the beam and swooped down to snatch them. There is no danger if you don't eat. There are two theaters, one with a pony, and children sit on it to take pictures for ten yuan. When I was on the ropeway, a man ran over and gave me a photo. It cost 30 yuan. I thought it was fate that we were found among hundreds of people, so I bought it. You can go with your children, but you don't need to go on a self-guided tour.

You need to take a boat to get there. There are a lot of monkeys and animal shows.

Nanwan Monkey Island Tips for taking children to the island: Children are very excited to see so many monkeys. The scenery of the cableway is beautiful. It is a good deal to book a one-day tour. Remember not to bring food to the monkey island. The monkeys will snatch food from children. Don't tease the monkeys or they will get mad.

Monkey Island is pretty good, but I didn't dare take a photo with the monkeys because I was afraid they would catch the kids! The cable car ride was very exciting! It's definitely worth taking the kids there!

Because this year is the Year of the Monkey, I went to Monkey Island with my family to see the monkeys. However, we had to wait in line for the cable car for a very long time. There were so many tourists, and the most frustrating thing was that there was a photo booth when we entered. Before each person took the cable car, a person dressed as Sun Wukong would take a photo with you (when you came out of Monkey Island, they would give you the photo and charge you money; you had to take the photo, but you didn't have to take the photo). There was nothing good to see in Monkey Island, just some little monkeys everywhere. If you had food in your hand, they would come over and snatch it from you. If you don't like monkeys, there's no need to go.

I really like this place. I like to interact with small animals. Many of the monkeys' behaviors are the same as humans. I like it very much. Especially when I was eating coconuts, I was almost attacked by a monkey. I quickly gave the remaining coconuts to it, and it ate them all. It's super cute. If you go to Hainan and have a chance, you must go to Monkey Island. It's a different feeling. I love it~

Don't go after 3pm, there's nothing left. We queued up to get on the boat, got to the other side, and then took a minibus. It was 4:40 when we got on, and the monkeys had just finished their last bicycle show. Then we walked a little further and saw another show, where you can take pictures with the monkeys for 10 yuan each. After the show, it was 5:30. The park was cleared at 6pm, so we queued up for the cable car. We queued for two hours, and it was already past 8pm, and there was nothing left. We saw four monkeys when we got on. Later, when we were queuing for the cable car, we heard the staff around us say that the monkeys were full in the morning (filled up by the tourists in the morning) and would not come out in the afternoon! No wonder there were no monkeys on the mountain! Such a bad habit! Everyone must get up early to go to work!

There are a lot of monkeys, and many of them are not afraid of people. Remember, don't take out food casually, or the monkeys will snatch it away.

The monkeys in Nanwan are really wild. When the tour guide introduced them to me on the bus, I didn’t take them seriously. But when I got to the island and tried to pick out sunflower seeds, I was attacked by a little monkey. I quickly threw the whole bag away before I could return home safely.

But there are not as many monkeys as expected.

There are many monkeys on the island, and there are many tourists there now. You can quickly complete the tour along the tour route. There will be performances from morning to noon, which is suitable for bringing children to watch, but generally speaking, there is no original ecological feeling︶︿︶

You can also watch the monkeys. The tour guide said that you can't eat in front of them, and it is not recommended to bring food in. The monkeys are all very gentle. Although there are monkeys that snatch food, they all hold a lot of snacks in their hands to feed the monkeys. This park is originally for the monkeys to eat, so is there a difference between snatching and not snatching? The snatching is not fierce, and it is said that it is much more docile than the ones in Mount Emei. In fact, we all took pictures of the monkeys. If you don't like monkeys that much, there is nothing special. The most important thing is that there are a lot of mosquitoes, and it is recommended to wear long pants or mosquito repellent.

There are several islands that you must visit when you go to Hainan, and Monkey Island is one of them. It has its own characteristics: magical Tanka people, Asia’s first cross-sea bridge, naughty monkeys, etc.

This is an island with few people visiting it, suitable for diving and snorkeling

There are many monkeys on Monkey Island. The photo shows a monkey guard of honor. When they got angry, they threw away all the flags. The queues to get on and off the island were too long.

Not interesting. The kids liked it but it was just too average. Haha

1. Far away. 2. Buy peanuts to feed the monkeys. 3. You can take the cable car to look down from a height, which is quite impressive. 4. There are two performances, one is a circus, and the other is a bit of a comedy. 5. The rest is just like visiting a tourist attraction. Note: There is one thing to pay special attention to on Monkey Island. Whether adults or children, do not eat or drink in front of monkeys, and do not pull bags in front of them. The monkeys there are quite smart and wild, and they will grab things when they come up. Be careful. I tied an opaque plastic bag on the outside of my backpack, with three bananas in it. I forgot about it when I took the bus there. As soon as I entered the door, five or six monkeys came up and snatched the bananas away.

If you are not accompanying the elderly to relax, there is no need to go. Young people should go to play water sports.

I'm not crazy about monkeys, so it's just average for me, not as good as the safari park. You can take a cable car at Nanwan Monkey Island, which deserves an extra star.

Nanwan Monkey Island is a newly developed scenic spot. The beach is clean and there are not many people during the National Day holiday. There will not be the phenomenon of crowds like other scenic spots. Except for the disappointing diving and taking pictures and the after-sales service attitude, everything else is worthy of recognition. The diving area is very shallow, without colorful corals and fish. The price is not low, 300 yuan for taking pictures and 500 yuan for 5 minutes of video. Before the shooting, there were all kinds of deceptions. The on-site service was very good. After the shooting, the service changed 360 degrees, especially if you are not satisfied with the photos and give feedback, the attitude is very bad. Not only will they not deal with it, but they will also directly blacklist the customer.

Please note that you cannot see the photos on the spot. What is sent is a CD, which will be sent to you when the customer is about to leave Nanwan Monkey Island and get on the bus. You cannot see the photos on the spot at all and there is no way to verify them. You can only see them on the computer when you get home.

Two people paid 1,000 yuan for the video, and the time in the water was less than 20 minutes! There is not a single fish in the 38 underwater photos, not even a small one. The woman’s face was almost deformed by the mask and she was unrecognizable. When taking the photos, the diving instructor and the photographer did not remind me to adjust. I was very angry when I saw the photos at home, but I gave them all kinds of excuses and replies on the pictures! Friends who want to go diving there can take a look at the chat messages! They said that such photos are very well done, and asked me to put them on the Internet for friends to see! I am not embarrassed here, I just treat it as a prank, and post a few photos for friends who have not been there to see, so as not to be fooled. 1,000 yuan is just a lesson learned

The girls' eyes are all deformed like this when they are underwater! This is the 66 photos that the after-sales service said, of which 38 are underwater (17 for men, 13 for women, and 8 for couples), and all the 21 photos with girls are like this! The 19 photos taken above the water are considered normal and clear, and there are 9 group photos of 8 people (all taken in a row of the same scene, none of them are clear, all are blurry, this is very objective and not exaggerated at all). The after-sales service said that they have done their best! They didn't wait for us to finish speaking and directly blacklisted us!

I didn't choose a variety of cheap ones that included buffets, cable cars, and a one-day tour to the Coconut Wind Village, because I saw in the reviews that it would take a lot of time to buy silver at the Coconut Wind Village. After a long time of research, there was no one-day tour to Monkey Island, only a ticket package, so I started to research how to get there.

It costs 18.5 yuan to take the train from Sanya Railway Station to Lingshui. You can buy a package ticket of 138 yuan (excluding meals) on the official website. You can take the bus from Lingshui Station to the scenic spot for free with a text message. Maybe you all went to participate in a one-day tour. We chartered a car to go there... You can also take a free ride to the high-speed railway station when you come back, and you still charter a car when you come back... Please note that if you book tickets through other travel websites, you cannot take the bus, you need to take the public bus. Or you can buy tickets on the bus, 155 per person.

When you arrive at the entrance of the scenic spot, you need to exchange the ticket with the text message. The ticket is a bit pitiful. You need to print a form on a white paper, write your name and number of people, and phone number... The package includes cable car or battery car + boat ticket. The cable car you took when you went there takes about five minutes. The cross-sea cable car has a beautiful scenery. On the way back, you can experience the battery car and boat. The boat ride is very short and you can see the other side at a glance.

Monkeys can be seen everywhere, but not too many. The little monkeys are very smart. They keep checking the things in the hands of tourists and eat them when they see food. There are two animal performances. I felt a little sad when watching the performances. The little animals were whipped just to bring people a little joy. Taking pictures is not expensive, 10 yuan per person, and there are many children taking pictures. When you queue up for the cable car, the Monkey King will take a picture with you, and you will see the finished product when you get off the cable car, 10 yuan per picture. It is a waste to print it out whether you want it or not.

The management of the scenic spot is not very systematic, so it is a four-star scenic spot instead of a five-star one. The toilets are equipped with rolls of paper, and there are not too many people. The explanation is 30 yuan for 30 minutes. In general, it is worth a visit, just don't expect too much.

Outdoors are different from scenic spots. Outdoors are pure and unopened sea areas! No matter what mode of transportation you use, you have to go through a certain amount of trekking. You have to go through a certain amount of sparse population before you can reach the open outdoors. Once you arrive, you will find that everything is worth it. The water there is pure and clear, the residents there are cheerful and hospitable, and the fish there are as colorful as a nursery rhyme.
