Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden was established in 1957, with a long history. Located in Xinglong, Wanning, it boasts beautiful scenery and a rich variety of tropical plants, including rare species like the "upas tree." The lush greenery and faint fragrance of fruits make strolling through it a delightful experience. Stepping into Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden is like opening an encyclopedia of tropical plants, featuring many rare flowers and trees not commonly seen in ordinary botanical gardens, such as cacao trees and cannonball trees. It also hosts tropical cash crops like pepper and vanilla, as well as fruit trees including durian and mangosteen. The park's rest and reception area also offers complimentary Xinglong coffee, cocoa-based drinks, and various premium teas, such as kuding tea and sticky rice fragrant tea, all researched and produced in-house. If you enjoy them, you can purchase these teas at the supermarket inside—they make great specialty souvenirs.Wanning · 21.7 km from downtown

Shimei Bay, with its pristine scenery, is located on the eastern coast of Wanning City. The silver sand beaches are surrounded by densely vegetated mountain slopes, so there is ocean on one side and forest on the other. Occasionally, a fishing boat with a heavy catch will be seen bobbing out in the water, a scene unique to the South China Sea. There is a small, pristine, uninhabited island in the bay called Jiajing Island, which is a popular destination for snorkelers and divers.Wanning · 20.4 km from downtown

There are many rock formations on the island's south shore, a top spot for sea fishing. The north and west shores are level and surrounded by coral and tropical fish, making them popular for snorkeling and diving.

Skydive Riyue Bay, the only civil aviation-certified coastal skydiving base on Hainan Island's east coast, redefines island adventures with its unique dual-view skydiving experience. This rare low-altitude vantage point offers breathtaking tropical coastline views while seamlessly blending aviation sports with maritime culture, creating a multidimensional thrill unlike any other in China. A 55-second free fall from 4,000 meters offers participants a dynamic perspective unlike standard aerial photography—as you break through the clouds, surfers in the emerald waters become shimmering dots, while the circular reef displays tidal textures of alternating depths. This ever-changing visual spectacle is an experience static viewing can't replicate. During tandem skydiving, professional instructors guide participants to adjust their posture, allowing them to feel the dialogue between body and airflow at 200 km/h. Breaking away from the single-sport focus of traditional skydiving bases, Riyue Bay has specially designed an aerial geography awareness segment. During the 7–8 minutes of smooth parachute gliding, the guide will describe the passing landscapes below through the headset: from the crescent moon-shaped bay to the developing coral reef ecosystem, even observing the play of light and shadow between clouds and sea surface during tropical front transitions. The landing zone features a dedicated video analysis room where 4K footage from GoPro cameras is frame-by-frame interpreted, helping participants capture fleeting magical moments. The base is equipped with an all-weather meteorological monitoring system to identify optimal flight windows in tropical maritime climates. A progressive adaptation training program designed for participants includes 30 minutes of scenario simulation and stress testing to ensure physical readiness for high-altitude conditions. The specially developed ocean-themed digital log not only records skydiving data but also generates personalized flight reports featuring ocean current patterns, visible marine life sightings, and other key details. The prime location near a surfing hotspot makes this place the perfect starting point for sea-to-sky adventures. Our morning skydiving and afternoon surfing package allows sports enthusiasts to experience the wonders of fluid dynamics in different mediums all in one day. The retired parachute art installation displayed at the reception center blends technology and aesthetics to tell the century-old story of humanity's conquest of the skies. We recommend participants choose a clear morning when the southeast monsoon creates updrafts that often extend the scenic viewing time during the descent. Note that while no prior skydiving experience is required, all participants must complete a basic health assessment beforehand. This azure sky theater awaits to create unique cloud-top memories for every brave soul.Wanning · 25.1 km from downtown

I visited the botanical garden today, and it was wonderful. The air was fresh, and there was a wide variety of plants. I benefited greatly from the patient and detailed explanations given by our guide, Ms. Zhou Ying. I tried the perfumes; the pepper scent is especially recommended—it's affordable and great value. The souvenirs were also very nice, and there was free tea in the rest area. Overall, a very good experience.

Shimei Bay, Wanning, Hainan. Located on the eastern coast of Liji Town, Wanning City, Hainan Province, within the 18°N golden resort belt, this resort area is developed by China Resources. It's about a 10-minute taxi ride from Shenzhou High-Speed ​​Railway Station, closer than Wanning Station. Boasting approximately 6 kilometers of silver-white sand beach, it comprises two crescent-shaped bays, backed by a globally rare thousand-year-old coastal green forest, and opposite the uninhabited Jiajing Island (a filming location for "If You Are the One 2," a diving paradise). The beach is free to enter; the sand is fine, the water is clean, and it's quiet with few people. There are high-end hotels such as Le Méridien and Westin, Phoenix Jiuli Bookstore (Hainan's most beautiful bookstore), an international yacht club, and a coastal highway. Book clubs and art exhibitions are frequently held, and water sports include snorkeling, sailing, and surfing. The core area attracts many tourists; it's a great place to watch the sunrise or sunset. Public transportation from the city center is available, but taxis and cars are even more convenient.

Wenchang Moon Bay, located at the easternmost tip of Hainan Island, is a crescent-shaped pristine bay. It's not overly commercialized, offering a tranquil environment with few crowds, fine white sand, and crystal-clear water that gradually transitions into glass-like clarity. Its main appeal is its unspoiled natural environment for sea views, sunrises, beachcombing, and quiet relaxation – perfect for taking photos without crowds. It's not a bustling bathing beach, has very few amenities, and isn't ideal for purely leisurely water activities or dining. Highlights: 1. Extra-long pure white sand beach (approximately 8-11km), gentle slope, wide shallows at low tide, and high visibility; crystal-clear sea on sunny days; at low tide, you can dig for hermit crabs, small crabs, shells, and go beachcombing (check tide information in advance). 2. Panoramic views from the top of Tongguling Mountain: crescent-shaped coastline, white sand beaches, and coastal forest belts—a breathtaking vista; stunning sunrise (east of Hainan facing the sea), sunset is less spectacular than on the west coast. 3. Off-the-beaten-path photo opportunity: Hobbit-style cabins near the Hejing Moon Bay residential area offer free photo opportunities—a fairytale setting combined with the sea. 4. Very few people, quiet, clean, with minimal litter and almost no commercial noise.

It offers much more to do than Sanya. During the day there's paddleboarding and surfing, and at night there are bars, electric scooters, and walk along the coconut palm-lined avenue. You can also enjoy fireworks on the beach at night. The sea is also very clean.

This was a fantastic snorkeling experience! The instructors were incredibly patient and helped me get into the water little by little. The whole package was excellent value for money – the most fun I had during my Hainan trip! The water quality near Jiajing Island was amazing; I saw so many beautiful fish! The instructors also guided me through taking photos and videos! And both photos and videos were free!!! It was such a great deal!!! The glass-bottom boat photographers were also very patient, teaching us many great poses, and the photos turned out beautifully. Overall, it was an extremely satisfying experience!!! The value for money is off the charts!!! Trust me, everyone, go for it!

China Travel Service was much more efficient than I expected; the waves came one after another without any waiting, perfect for practice 🙈 The coach was incredibly nice; he said he was number 6, hahaha He was very patient in teaching, and seeing how quickly we were learning, he guided us step-by-step to advance our skills. My friend and I bought the 1v2 package this time, and we went on several runs almost seamlessly. We've already decided to find a coach to refine our skills next time 🤓 Coach A-Ying was very considerate, even taking care of my sunglasses; kudos to him, kudos to him, hahaha

It doesn't matter if you wear makeup or not. You can't see anything when you wear glasses. If you wear glasses too tight, your eyelashes will become a burden. You must do your hairline! You can ask the front desk lady to help you paint. Overall, it's good, but the air traffic control turned cloudy. The photos didn't turn out as good as expected. The instructor who took me flying took great handheld photos. The three parties can propose to interact in the air. It's better~ Because there is sand around, the driver should be prepared to wash the car
