7-day self-driving tour around the island on the east route of Hainan—Sanya, Wanning, Wenchang, and Haikou

7-day Hainan East Route self-driving around the island - Sanya, Wanning, Wenchang, Haikou || First of all, Hainan is really a place that is particularly suitable for self-driving around the island, because the driving distance between cities is short, basically within 1-2 hours Within 3 hours, even from Haikou to Sanya it will not take more than 3 hours. The road conditions are super good all the way. The key is that the highway is free! High speed is free! High speed is free! 1️⃣My itinerary Sanya (3 nights) - Wanning (1 night) 1.5 hours drive Wanning - Wenchang (1 night) 1.8h drive Wenchang - Haikou (1 night) 1.5 hours drive Haikou - Sanya Airport 3 hours drive 2️⃣The hotel I stayed in Sanya: Fairmont Haitang Bay Wanning: Westin Shimei Bay Wenchang: Luneng Hilton Haikou: Huacai Intercontinental 3️⃣Reviews of sea views and beaches in various places 🌊Sanya Haitang Bay 🌊Wanning Shimei): The sea water is blue and the waves are big, suitable for surfing. The beach sand is not as fine as Haitang Bay, but it is still soft. The Westin Hotel has a pink beach, which is very popular. 🌊Wenchang Qishui Bay): The sea water is blue, the wind is strong, and the shore is covered with rocks. The sand is hard and not suitable for bare feet, but the coconut trees on the reef beach also have a unique flavor. 🌊Haikou: There’s nothing special about it... 4️⃣Food and attractions 🍜Sanya: Dregs and vinegar hot pot, refreshing and refreshing; if you have enough time, you can go to Nanshan Scenic Area to see Guanyin and make a wish devoutly. 🍜Wanning: Lingshui sour noodles, snacks from Xinglong Farmers’ Market (Banlan cake, Banlan coconut glutinous rice strips, coconut crispbread); Xinglong Town is worth a quick car trip and has the style of an overseas Chinese village. 🍜Wenchang: Coconut chicken, Hainanese chicken rice, dim sum at Wangxi Tea House; be sure to go to Stone Park to see the coastline, and you can go to the old street or not. 🍜Haikou: Various snacks on Qilou Old Street (my personal favorite is dry-mixed Hainanese noodles). 5️⃣Other tips 💡Wanning and Sanya are very close, with similar sea views, and a good sense of leisure and vacation. However, the hotel price in Wanning will be lower than that in Sanya, and there are not as many people as in Sanya, so it is more cost-effective! 💡Wenchang Wangxi Teahouse is very crowded and it doesn’t close in the afternoon. You can try your best to get a seat after 2pm so it’s easier to get a seat. Not all the snacks inside are delicious, but the biggest feature is that they are super cheap! 💡Haikou Qilou Old Street is a large block. You don’t have to crowd with tourists in those Internet celebrity shops, you can just find a restaurant on the small street and the taste is not bad. 💡To go back to Sanya from Haikou or from Sanya to Haikou, you don’t have to take the Seaside Expressway. You can also take the Haisan Expressway that runs across the middle and pass by Qiongzhong and Wuzhishan Scenic Area. The road scenery is very good.
