I thought Sanya was beautiful, but after coming to Wanning, I really don't want to go back.

💕Hainan Food Guide: Zaopo vinegar hot pot is sour, spicy, and appetizing. The soup base is made from fermented wine lees, and it's a perfect match for seafood. Qingliangbu is a summer treat, with a coconut milk base and more than ten ingredients. Coconut chicken uses Wenchang chicken, three coconuts per pot of soup, sweet and nourishing. The sour noodles are as thin as hair, topped with a special gravy, sour and appetizing.

💕Transportation Tips: Transfer to the high-speed train at Meilan Airport Station to Wanning, it only takes 1 hour, saving CNY 300-500 compared to flying directly to Sanya. It is recommended to use regular platforms for ride-hailing services, as unlicensed taxi drivers often double the price for tourists. Electric scooter rentals can be bargained down to CNY 50/day. Riding from Riyue Bay to Shimei Bay takes about 40 minutes.

💕Shimei Bay Guide: The Guanhai Pavilion offers 360° panoramic views, and the white sandy beach stretches for 6 kilometers. The beach bar offers special cocktails, and there's usually a queue for photos on the ocean-facing swing. Jiuli Bookstore is the most beautiful seaside bookstore in China, with a glass curtain wall directly facing the waves.

💕Shenzhou Peninsula Must-Do: Cycle along the 3-kilometer coconut grove road, with coconut trees forming a natural archway on both sides. The best time to photograph the lighthouse is between 4-6 pm. At low tide, you can walk to the reefs for photos. It's recommended to reserve a spot at the Sunset Bar in advance, order a Mojito, and watch the sunset paint Corona Beach red.

💕Hidden Gems: Shanhai Langren requires a 20-minute hike, passing wild pineapple fields along the way. The mountaintop platform offers views of two bays simultaneously, perfect for drone photography. To visit the Swallow Cave in Shanqin Bay, you need to time it with the tides, as it's only accessible two hours before and after low tide.

💕Riyue Bay Trendy Guide: 216 Beach Restaurant & Bar has a popular infinity pool, and the pure white Rongchuang Auditorium is perfect for wedding photos. Surfing lessons average CNY 400/2 hours, and beginners are recommended to choose the early morning wave period. The night market is open until 2 am, and it's recommended to try fried ice cream and Baoluo noodles.
