⛳️I really love Wanning, it's really suitable for relaxing and slacking off😊 It seems that all the time can be wasted here😂 I am very happy every day here 🎈Riyue Bay This place satisfies all the fantasies and love of young people for the island, with places like Sunac Church, Coconut Palm Road, Haimen Coconut Workshop, and 216 Restaurant Bar worth checking in. The photos turn out great, and it's recommended to choose a restaurant in advance to avoid being overcharged. 🎈Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse & Coconut Tree Road The beautiful lighthouse from the movie 'The Disappearing Her' is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and it's very photogenic. The beach on Coconut Tree Road is the cleanest and most beautiful beach I think in Wanning!😊 🎈Shimei Bay Viewing Pavilion From the viewing pavilion, you can gaze out at the vast sea, and it's the perfect spot to watch the sunset. 🎈dedeco Pool Bar A pool bar close to the beach, it's really, really, really photogenic, with great design👍 The only downside is the minimum charge, with a minimum spend of 300 for poolside seats and 800 for the sunken circular seats. 🎈Qiaohai Ranch Hainan's own 'Altay', Wanning is not only about the sea and beaches, but also large lawns and cute animals. 🎈Shanhai Wanderer Primitive sea views, undisturbed comfort, sitting by the sea and watching the sunset is really comfortable, it's a bay that has not been fully developed yet👍 🎈Luwu Ranch A super healing little ranch, it feels like being abroad, with many small animals, mini horses, alpacas, sika deer... Pick up a cup of vegetables, and the little animals will come running over, so cute!😊 🏝Accommodation Information (to each their own budget) Shenzhou Peninsula/Shimei Bay: Many star-rated hotels, higher prices, private beaches with fine sand, quieter, can have a better vacation experience Riyue Bay: There are many characteristic homestays, mostly concentrated on Riyue Island, with great value for money, around two hundred can get a sea view room, lively with many people Xinglong Town: Mainly focused on food, lower prices, accommodation conditions are somewhat old, and it's far from the county area, not recommended for visitors

As someone who travels to Hainan every year, I sincerely want to offer some advice to those who are planning to visit Wanning soon!! 1️⃣ Before traveling to Wanning, be sure to check the weather. Hainan is like spring all year round, and the weather and humidity are the most important factors that will directly affect your travel experience. 2️⃣ It is currently the off-season, and after May Day until the 7th, the prices for flights and hotels generally decrease, so book your tickets to Wanning in advance. 3️⃣ Wanning does not have an airport, so you can choose to land in Sanya or Haikou and then take a high-speed train directly to Wanning. It is recommended to arrive at Shenzhou Station, which is closer to the scenic area hotels. 4️⃣ The attractions in Wanning are scattered, and it is a very chill coastal city. It is recommended to visit one attraction per day to fully enhance your experience. 5️⃣ For accommodation, you can choose homestays in Riyue Bay or hotels in Shenzhou Peninsula/ Shimei Bay. Depending on your budget, Riyue Bay is more crowded and noisy, while the two bays' hotels are quieter and more suitable for a vacation. 6️⃣ Riyue Bay is a must-visit, a gathering place for handsome guys and beautiful girls. Recommended internet-famous spots: Haimen Coconut Grove, Grom Cafe, 216 Bar. 7️⃣ The nightlife in Riyue Bay is more suitable for young people. In the evening, you can go to Haimen Street, where many trendy men and women gather in small bars, and the seaside is also lively with many people taking their children to catch seafood. 8️⃣ The Sunac Chapel is particularly photogenic, the same church as in the TV series 'Summer Flowers', facing the garden and backed by the sea, with a very high photo success rate. 9️⃣ The evening in Shenzhou Peninsula is not to be missed. Corona Sunset Bar or the lighthouse are excellent spots for sunset photography, and you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Coconut Palm Road. 🔟 Qiaohai Ranch is a must-visit on a sunny day. With light-colored clothing and sufficient sunlight, you can take amazing photos in minutes! 1️⃣1️⃣ The Hard Bar in Shimei Bay is a must-visit. Ladies should prepare a set of pink outfits, which are really fitting for the scene and great for taking beautiful photos. 1️⃣2️⃣ Shanqin Bay should be visited during the high tide period from 2-4 pm. When the waves are big, whether at Swallow Cave or on the rocks, the photos turn out particularly well. 1️⃣3️⃣ The cost of living in Xinglong Town, Wanning, is really not high. If you want to try Hainanese snacks, be sure to take a stroll there. However, if you want to try a wider variety, it's best to go earlier, as they might be sold out by around 9 am. 1️⃣4️⃣ Some photogenic small shops 📍 Riyue Bay: Haimen Coconut Grove - 216 Beach Bar - Sunac Chapel 📍 Shenzhou Peninsula: Qiaohai Ranch - dedeco - Corona Sunset Bar 📍 Shimei Bay: Guanhai Pavilion - Hard Bar Pink Beach

1, ✈️ Direct flights to Haikou are cheaper, much more cost-effective than flying to Sanya. After landing, rent a car and drive for 2h to Wanning.

You can get up early to watch the sunrise, the photos are very beautiful. 18, The floor-to-ceiling glass window at the entrance of the Grom Riyue Bay Surf Shop must be photographed. Taking pictures from inside can capture the coconut trees and the sea outside the window, very cinematic. 19, The road to Qiao Sea Ranch is very dirty and muddy, if you must come, wear a pair of dirt-resistant sports shoes. 20, If you want to catch the sea, go to the place with reefs, you can pick up a lot of small crabs 🦀️. 21, Don't buy fruit 🥭 in the scenic area, it's expensive and a rip-off, just go to the fruit market to buy, it's wholesale price, really super cheap!!

✈️How to get there: After arriving in Haikou, take a high-speed train to Wanning. Flights to Haikou are several hundred yuan cheaper than to Sanya (Haikou Meilan Airport has a high-speed train station inside, making transfers very convenient). 🚗Taxi: Use ride-hailing apps for daily travel, but avoid unlicensed taxis that solicit passengers on the street without meters—you'll get ripped off! Wanning is easy to hail rides in. 🛵E-bike: Rent an e-bike for nearby destinations—¥30/hour or ¥70/day. Bargain-savvy folks can try to negotiate the price down further. 🏨Hotels: For convenience, stayed at a homestay in Riyue Bay on the first night (lively at night), then moved to the Sheraton in Shenzhou Peninsula for the next two days—close to nearby attractions (hotel choices vary by budget; budget travelers can opt for homestays). 🌷Itinerary ❗Day 1: Arrive in Wanning - Riyue Bay - 216 Beach Bar - Rongchuang White Chapel - NoCap Bar ❗Day 2: Xinglong Nanyang Flavors - Wangjiao Pineapple Bun - Hotel change & luggage drop - Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse - Corona Sunset Bar ❗Day 3: Qiaohai Pasture - Shimei Bay Guanhaiting - Phoenix Jiuli Bookstore - Westin Hard Bar ☑️Attraction Tips ❶Riyue Bay is packed with photo spots: seaside cafes, the ultra-photogenic White Chapel, lively bars at night, and coconut-lined roads. Rent a "Baga car" (tricycle) for a fun time. ❷Rongchuang Chapel is on Riyue Island near Riyue Bay. Though not far, take an e-bike—don’t walk! It’s a 30-minute trek. ❸For Shenzhou Peninsula, take a shuttle (¥20/person round-trip) or rent an e-bike. E-bikes are better—you’ll pass a stunning coconut-lined road to the lighthouse, perfect for photo stops. ❹Qiaohai Pasture, dubbed "Hainan’s Little Altay," is photogenic in good weather, but the surroundings aren’t great (think livestock smells). Only a few spots are Instagram-worthy. ❺Yanzidong at Shanqin Bay is remote—about an hour from Riyue Bay. The black reef photos are stunning, but transport is tricky. Drive yourself if possible. ❻Bali Village: Just snap photos at the entrance. Paying to enter isn’t worth it—costumes cost extra, and the structures are artificial. ♨️Travel Tips 1. Wanning has four main areas: Riyue Bay, Shimei Bay, Shenzhou Peninsula, and Xinglong Town. If not driving, explore one area per day—each requires highway travel. Adventurous souls can bike the island loop (if they don’t mind the sun). 2. In Riyue Bay and Shenzhou Peninsula, Snoopy/Strawberry Bear tricycles cost ¥50/hour—pricey and hard to bargain. Upside: great photos! Downside: Scratches mean fines. Some e-bikes lack plates and can’t leave Riyue Bay (police will stop you). 3. July temps hit around 30°C (86°F). Sunny skies are guaranteed, but sunscreen is a must—especially for water sports. Slip up, and you’ll earn Hainan’s signature "black gloves" (sunburn)!

A Dream Stay in Wanning – My Experience at EHOUSE Geisha No.1 Homestay The luckiest part of my trip to Wanning was choosing EHOUSE Geisha No.1 Homestay in Shenzhou Peninsula!

You can easily bike to Shenzhou Peninsula Resort, take photos at the viral-worthy Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse, stroll along the most beautiful coconut tree-lined road, and immerse yourself in the blend of nature and romance.

🌴 Hainan Wanning | The Hawaii of the East! 🏖️ The sand at Shimei Bay is as soft as cotton candy 🌊 Riyue Bay is perfect for beginner surfers 🍹 Afternoon tea at the Le Méridien Shimei Bay Beach Resort is absolutely amazing 🍊 The lychees from Dongshan Ridge are heart-meltingly sweet "The Chinese version of the Maldives" didn't lie to me!

Volunteering in Wanning for a month, although living in Shimei Bay, I often ride bikes or drive around the Shenzhou Peninsula. Here is a quick guide to Shenzhou Peninsula, hoping to help every sister struggling with planning before traveling. Understand Wanning·Shenzhou Peninsula in 5 minutes. ㅤ 🌟 How to choose between Wanning's two bays and one peninsula? Shimei Bay ≈ village, fewer people and fewer attractions Sun Moon Bay ≈ bar street, bad roads, don't go if not bar hopping Shenzhou Peninsula ≈ large integrated community, more complete dining, accommodation, and transportation ㅤ 👪 Who is suitable to stay at Shenzhou Peninsula? ✅ Only staying in Wanning for 1-2 days for leisure, not planning to visit the other two bays, blindly choose Shenzhou Peninsula, convenient for eating and drinking! ✅ Those who cannot ride electric scooters, the peninsula is walkable ✅ Families with elders ✅ Medium budget, Shenzhou Peninsula is hard for budget travel as food and accommodation are expensive ㅤ 📸 Must-visit spots 1️⃣ Internet-famous Lighthouse The same lighthouse as in the movie "The Missing Girl," the original is in Lingshui. Having visited both lighthouses, I think the Shenzhou lighthouse is more photogenic due to the extended curved riverbank. A must-shoot! It’s 2 km from the entrance to the lighthouse. Shuttle bus costs 10 yuan one way; it’s recommended to rent an electric scooter yourself (there is a short rough road at the entrance). Note: no restrooms on the way! There is a Mazu temple at the entrance 🉑️ for blessings. 2️⃣ Beach & Coconut Tree Road 🌴 The peninsula’s beach feels relatively fine and clean. The coconut tree road is suitable for riding a buggy car for photos. The buggy is hard to ride, be careful of tipping over. 3️⃣ Corona Sunset Bar 🌅 📍 Navigate to Sheraton Hotel, you can ride a bike into the hotel parking lot. It’s the best spot to watch the sunset among the two bays and one peninsula. 4️⃣ Fourth Bay Cliff Diving 🌊 📍 Navigate to Shenzhou Peninsula Third Bay ➡️ walk over a mountain ➡️ pass through a betel nut forest ➡️ reach the beach and walk along the coastline ➡️ climb over rocks (ropes available for assistance) to arrive. The whole route is about 3 km on foot, requires some physical strength and climbing ability. Bring a life jacket for diving. You can hire a guide for paddleboarding + diving + snorkeling, costing 200-300 yuan per person. Refer to @Xiao Zhou Loves to Play for a very intuitive video. 5️⃣ Qiao Hai Ranch ❌ Pure photo spot! Actually farmland + boardwalk, visually very boring. The online rumors about it being dirty and smelly are true, no need to go out of your way! ㅤ 🍗 Must-eat & avoid list ✔️ Ning Da Coconut Pineapple Bun: super delicious! Crispier than the popular Mong Kok pineapple bun. ✔️ Chen Ji Qingbuliang: Qingbuliang is okay, don’t order the rice noodles! ❌ Hu Po Herbal Duck: widely disliked, ate twice, small portions and expensive. If unsatisfied, be sure to complain on the spot! They gave us duck heads and feet; after complaining, they served a pure meat portion! ㅤ 🏡 Accommodation recommendation "Grand Hyatt Peninsula," hotel directly opens to the coconut tree road and beach, close to the lighthouse, costs 1k+ yuan, better value compared to Sheraton at a similar price. ㅤ 🚄 Transportation tips ❗️ Prefer taking the high-speed train to Shenzhou Station (10 minutes from the peninsula) ✖️ Wanning Station is farther (30+ minutes) 🛵 It’s recommended to rent an electric scooter on the island, off-season price can be bargained down to 50-60 yuan per day.

🌴 "In Wanning, even luck tastes like sea breeze" — This was the most fitting description I came across after landing. Here, the ocean wind carries the fragrance of coconuts and the smoky aroma of sour-spicy fermented rice hotpot. Surfing, admiring breathtaking views, and savoring fresh seafood are the real priorities! This 3-day, 2-night guide will help you avoid crowds and discover hidden gems～ 🌊 DAY1: Shenzhou Peninsula 1️⃣ First stop: Head straight to the viral lighthouse. Arrive before 8 AM for the best experience! Navigate to **Grand Hyatt Shenzhou Peninsula**, then take a 10-minute walk through a coconut grove path. The red-and-white lighthouse against the gradient glassy sea makes for an ultra-photogenic shot. 2️⃣ Try surfing for the first time here! The gentle waves at Shenzhou Peninsula Beach are perfect for beginners. Opt for a certified club offering 2-hour lessons with photography included—coaches even share tips for picture-perfect moments. 3️⃣ Must-try local delicacies! While there are many dining options, these two spots are foolproof based on my experience: - **Lunch**: Coconut Chick·Coconut Chicken (Shenzhou Peninsula Branch). Three coconuts make one pot of soup, paired with authentic Wenchang chicken—ready in just 3 minutes. Dip it in their special sauce for an unforgettable flavor. - **Dinner**: Qiongzhou Fermented Rice Hotpot (Shenzhou Peninsula Branch). The walls are plastered with celebrity photos (Bing Bai, Chen He, etc.). If you love tangy-spicy flavors, don’t miss this! Their thinly sliced snapper cooks in 5 seconds—super tender! The seafood platter is a must-order, and recent additions like the Flower-Topped Coconut Jelly, Pandan Shrimp Noodles, and drinks are delightful surprises! 🥥 DAY2: Shimei Bay + Riyue Bay 1️⃣ Drive along Shimei Bay’s coastal highway—every turn is Insta-worthy! 2️⃣ Snorkel at Jiajing Island!

Finally, a room where the sea greets you without stepping out! 📌 Pro Tips 1️⃣ **Transport**: Flights to Haikou are 30% cheaper than Sanya! From Meilan Airport, take a high-speed train to Shenzhou Station. Rent a Tank 300 for off-road beach drives. 2️⃣ **Avoid Scams**: Many surf coaches on the beach—stick to established clubs with insurance. At seafood restaurants, demand "crab claw snipping" to verify live seafood and prevent swaps. 3️⃣ **Rainforest Prep**: Pack mosquito repellent!

The color of the seawater is stunning, and you can collect seashells 🐚 on the beach 2️⃣ Shanhai Langren An undeveloped, lesser-known bay with a natural beauty. Sit under trees by the sea, feel the breeze and swing on hammocks - very therapeutic.

The water is crystal clear, with glass-like sea and rocky beaches that are incredibly beautiful. There's a cozy campsite on the beach, and a few minutes' walk ahead is the pink Hard Bar 6️⃣ Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse The same lighthouse featured in the movie "Lost Her." You can take distant shots by the lighthouse wall to avoid crowds. The coconut tree-lined road to the lighthouse is breathtaking - rent an electric scooter for a ride 7️⃣ Riyue Bay Coconut groves, sunshine, sea, beach, and surfing 🏄‍♀️ Many ocean-facing coffee shops where you can relax and chill for an afternoon 🏨 About accommodation Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula Resort Close to Shenzhou Lighthouse, within walking distance.

The waves in Wanning are big - not recommended if you only know how to paddle! Girls should trim their nails short for safety! ③ There's no subway in Wanning, so self-driving is recommended, though parking might be difficult, it's more convenient than taking taxis; renting an electric scooter to ride along the coast is also a great option! ④ For hotel accommodations, read reviews carefully, don't just look at pictures! ⑤ Check the weather before going out - the sea appears different colors in different weather. For photos, make sure the light is behind you, otherwise the sea will look gray. Don't give up going out if it rains - it's usually just a shower that stops quickly!

Hey, everyone 👋! I just got back from a special forces-style trip to Wanning! Before I left, I thought that a seaside city would be expensive, but when I got there, I realized that it was a paradise for "budget special forces" 😍! After three days, my wallet was still full. I even wondered if I was doing something wrong! On the first day, I landed in Wanning and went straight to Shenzhou Peninsula 🏖️. I thought that coconuts by the sea would be ridiculously expensive, but I was able to get a huge coconut 🥥 for only CNY 10 from a roadside stand, and I drank the sweet coconut juice until I was full! I sat on the beach, enjoying the sea breeze, and ate a large box of mango sticky rice 🥭🍚 for CNY 15. What a wonderful life! On the second day, I went to Shimei Bay. Here I come, surfing 🌊! I was worried that a surfing lesson would be outrageously expensive, but I found a local surf shop where I could learn for two hours for just over CNY 200. Plus, the instructors were super patient and taught me hands-on 👐. I fell into the sea countless times, but when I finally managed to stand up, I was so proud! After surfing, I found a small shop where a plate of seafood fried noodles was only CNY 20, and there were so many ingredients that I couldn't finish it all 🦐! On the third day, I went to Xinglong Town to eat, drink, and have fun. It was a foodie's happy planet 🎉! Pandan cake and Southeast Asian snacks cost an average of CNY 30 per person, and I ate so much that I had to support myself to walk! Before I left, I bought a big bag of freshly baked coconut cakes for only CNY 25 💰! This trip to Wanning was such a surprise! I thought I was going to spend a lot of money, but I had a great time even though I didn't spend much 🥳! Everyone, save this guide and just go for it 🚀!
