Lingshui with kids? I really don't want to go there a second time.

Lingshui is fun, it's not only suitable for kids, the scenery is also beautiful, but it's really expensive! For someone like me who rushes off with my kid whenever I see something fun, it's really a money pit... especially with my personality, it's really one pitfall after another😭. So I've made this Lingshui travel guide, hoping to help you get your money's worth! ✅Transportation ✔️Lingshui doesn't have an airport✈️. You can choose to fly to Haikou/Sanya/Boao Airport, then take the high-speed rail 🔔Sanya Airport is closer to Lingshui, but the air tickets are relatively more expensive. ✔️If you're bringing kids to Lingshui, driving is more convenient🚗 as the attractions are scattered. 📍Driving from Sanya to Lingshui takes about 40 mins. 📍Driving from Haikou to Lingshui takes about 1.5 hrs. ✔️Don't even think about taking the bus to Lingshui. The buses are infrequent, and the wait times are long. ✔️Taxis are recommended to be booked online, but it's not as convenient as in Sanya. ✅Hotels: The top choice for hotels in Lingshui is Clearwater Bay. Clearwater Bay has better infrastructure, not only are there many types of hotels, but there are also many attractions nearby. Within the bay area, there's Clearwater Bay Banyan Tree Global Food Center, which integrates a supermarket, entertainment, and restaurants. The children's play facilities at the entrance are perfect for kids. The second choice is Perfume Bay, which has more characteristic homestays and high-end resort hotels, but the bay area quality is not as good as Clearwater Bay. ✅Recommended Attractions 1️⃣【Monkey Island】and【Dadao Island】 Monkey Island and Dadao Island are connected, and you can visit both islands together. There are many monkeys on Monkey Island, and there's also a small circus. Dadao Island has clear water and white sand, and because there are few traces of human damage, the water and sand quality are very good. 2️⃣【Fenjiezhou Island】 A must-go! The scenery on the island is super beautiful, and the glass-like sea is amazing! Feel the sea breeze on the cliff swing, listen to the sea singing on the steps of the Moonlight Castle, interact with moray eels, dolphins, and sea turtles, and watch the super interesting sea lion show! It's perfect for kids! 3️⃣【Mosha Lighthouse】The prototype lighthouse in the movie "Lost in the Stars" - Clearwater Bay Liberty Lighthouse (navigate to the north gate of Clearwater Bay Tourist Area). There are beach cafes nearby with a great atmosphere. Watching the sun sink into the ocean in a cheerful atmosphere is very healing! 4️⃣【Fuli Ocean Happy World】Worth going! A paradise for children! 298 RMB allows you to enjoy many attractions. There are many attractions, so it is recommended to reserve a whole day to play. The aquarium, the sea train, and the Ferris wheel are recommended. The ticket includes many attractions. ⚠️Tips 1. You can also take the sea bus to Monkey Island for 8 RMB/person (at Xincun Wharf). The monkeys on the island are quite wild, so don't hold snacks in your hand. Prepare a sealed package, otherwise they will try to snatch them. 2. Don't take your child to the night market just because you're craving street food! It's not clean and really not suitable for young children! Go to Clearwater Bay Banyan Tree Global Food Plaza, where you can eat, shop, and entertain your kids conveniently! 3. Bring a pair of slippers so you don't have to worry about stepping on sharp objects on the beach, and they're easy to rinse off. There are many mosquitoes on the grass by the sea, so bring mosquito repellent.
