Wanning Shenzhou Peninsula

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. Buggy cars are better rented by the hour.
