SURF GRAVITY

Right next to the beach, it's very pleasant to drink a little wine while enjoying the sea breeze

🌴Don't crowd Sanya! These hidden gems in Lingshui are the real deal! Boundary Island, Monkey Island, Clear Water Bay...all covered in one article (Includes a 2-day, 1-night itinerary + a guide to avoiding pitfalls) ------ 🌊 Boundary Island - Glass Sea and Cliffside Cabins 🌟 Recommended: Hainan's only 5A-rated island! With 27-meter visibility, a white sand beach and rocky cliffs, it's reminiscent of Semporna! 💡 Must-sees • Moonlight Castle: A Roman-style amphitheater where you can wear a red dress for apocalyptic photos (the light and shadows at 4 pm are stunning!) • Manta Ray Interaction: Catch wild manta rays in the shallows! Soft as jelly (feeding time: 10 AM/2 PM) • Seaside Boardwalk: 1.2 km long, with glass sea camera angles at every corner, making aerial photography look like blue jelly 🍜 Food: Coconut Chicken Hot Pot at the island's food court (sweet broth, 80 yuan per person) ------ 🐒 Blue Bay Monkey Island - Cross-Sea Cable Car + Tanka Fishing Raft 🌟 Recommended: China's only island macaque sanctuary! The cable car overlooks the 10,000-acre fishing raft, like a "sea gypsy" 💡 Must-see • Cross-Sea Cable Car: 20 minutes. Below you are the Tanka fishing raft boathouses. Put your camera against the glass for aerial photography! • Monkey Acrobatics: Little monkeys ride bikes and walk on tightropes—a must-see with kids (hold on tight! The monkeys steal the show!) • Fish Raft Restaurant: A 5-minute walk from the cable car terminal, serving freshly caught porridge and salt-and-pepper mantis shrimp. ⚠️ Caution: Hide snacks in your bag! The monkeys are expert at snatching plastic bags. ------ 🏖️ Clearwater Bay—12km Freedom Lighthouse 🌟 Recommended: A singing beach! The sand clatters under your feet. Free photo opportunities at the lighthouse and wedding photography studio. 💡 Must-sees • Freedom Lighthouse: The same design from "Gone Girl"! Red and white stripes against the blue sea: sunrise silhouettes are legendary. • Travel photography hotspot: White church, swings, bus... 10+ locations for free (no one before 9 AM!) • Beach bar: Order a mojito in the evening and lie on the sofa to listen to the waves (40 yuan per person) ------ 🍃 Coconut Field Ancient Village - Li Handicraft Experience 🌟 Recommended: A well-preserved Li village, where an elderly woman weaves and sings folk songs – the experience is truly immersive! 💡 Must-see spots • Fire-making by Drilling Wood: Experience the survival skills of the Li people's ancestors; if you succeed, you'll be able to create a small flame! • Rattan Bracelets: Get hands-on instruction on how to weave colorful wristbands. Materials cost 10 yuan. • Shanlan Wine: Sweet and intoxicating Li glutinous rice wine. A small glass is 5 yuan to cool you down. ------ 🌺 Perfume Bay - Cliffside Lawn and Surfing 🌟 Recommended: A hidden gem! Beginner surfing lessons are 200 yuan/2 hours, with few crowds and stable waves. 💡 Must-sees • Bookish Ocean View: On the Cliff Bookstore's sea-view terrace, order an iced Americano and watch the surfers. • Wedding Lawn: Sloping grassy areas with white triangular houses, reminiscent of a New Zealand movie set. ------ 🦀 Tufu Bay - Wild Sea Hunting Base 🌟 Recommended: A wild beach only known to locals! Crabs and clams abound at low tide, allowing you to experience the joy of fishing. 💡 Must-sees • Dusk Sea Hunting: Bring a small bucket and pliers. If you find moon shells, you can ask a restaurant to prepare them for you (boiled shells for 10 yuan). • Ancient Lighthouse: A seven-story, mottled stone tower from the Qing Dynasty. Climb the spiral staircase for panoramic views. ------ 🥟 Tanka Fishing Raft - Enjoy fish porridge in a floating village. 🌟 Recommended: A 200-year-old floating village where "mud dumplings" are actually scorpionfish dumplings! Fish minced into dumplings, so delicious! 🍜 Delicious Food • Drumstick Dumplings: Fish mixed with pork and chives, with a thin, translucent skin (dip in red vinegar to help with the greasiness) • Tanka Porridge: Mixed fish, shrimp, and snails, sprinkled with pepper to warm your stomach • Fried Sandworms: A challenge for the brave! Crispy taro rice is delicious. ------ 🗺️ 2-Day, 1-Night Itinerary Day 1: Morning: Boundary Island (Moonlight Castle, Manta Rays, Diving) Afternoon: Clear Water Bay (Lighthouse Photos, Sunset at a Beach Bar) Dinner: Tufu Bay Beach Catch and Seafood Processing Day 2: Morning: Monkey Island (Cable Car, Monkey Watching, Lunch on a Fishing Raft) Afternoon: Coconut Village (Handmade Products, Shanlan Wine) → Surfing at Xiangshui Bay Dinner: Fish Dumplings and Porridge at a Tanka Fishing Raft ------ 💡 My Tricky Experience • Transportation: Taxi from Lingshui Station to Boundary Island for 30 RMB, ferry ticket from the pier for 127 RMB including entrance fee. • Sunscreen: Use physical sunscreen! Wear a jellyfish suit when surfing to prevent scratches. • Accommodation: We recommend the Westin in the Clear Water Bay area, priced at 300 RMB for a sea view room. • Avoid: Don't pick up coral and shells in the scenic area! Fines are hefty. Lingshui's sea: glassy waves beneath coconut trees, the vibrant atmosphere of fishing rafts, and the sting of tiny crabs pinching your toes while you're fishing—this is the real, vibrant Hainan! #RecommendedFreeCheck-In Spots #CityHumanitiesNotes #SonglikeJourney #NationalDayTravelDiary #HaveFunWithFriends
