Maning has been tough but I'm back, really don't recommend coming in August

Babies😎, just got back from Maning, and I have to be honest—Maning in August is so beautiful you’ll never want to leave! I was worried about the weather before, but once I got there, I realized that at this time, Maning’s sunshine, waves, and coconut groves are top-notch. I had an amazing time and sincerely recommend you come experience this passionate beauty~ Maning, located in southeastern Hainan, is a small city spoiled by the blue sea and sky🎉. In August, Maning is warm and bright, with an average temperature of 28-32°C. The sunlight makes the sea water crystal clear, like a huge sapphire. The sea breeze carries a salty freshness, coconut trees stretch freely along the shore, the sand is as soft as walking on clouds, and the evening glow can dye the sky the color of orange soda. Every view is wallpaper-worthy. ✈️【Transportation Tips】 Fly into Haikou Meilan or Sanya Phoenix Airport, then transfer to the high-speed train to Maning Station, just half an hour away—super convenient. Renting a small electric scooter in the city is the best choice. Riding along the coastal road, with the wind blowing through your hair and coconut groves and the sea by the roadside, every snap is a vacation masterpiece. To get to surfing spots or nearby islands, take a taxi or local shuttle bus; the drivers will even recommend some off-the-beaten-path activities. 🌊【Must-Do List】 • Shimei Bay: The sea is unbelievably blue in August. Rent a surfboard and challenge the waves. When tired, lie on a beach chair and watch JiaJing Island in the distance, like a green gem floating on the sea. In the evening, have an iced coffee at Jiuli Book House and watch the sunset turn the sea into a golden foil. • Riyue Bay: A paradise for surfing lovers! Even beginners can stand up after a two-hour lesson with an instructor. Waves come crashing in, and the sense of achievement is overwhelming. The bay is lively at night with bar live music and beach bonfires—everything young people love. • Fenjiezhou Island: Take a boat to the island where the water visibility is excellent. While snorkeling, you can see schools of tropical fish swimming around you and even feed the devil rays—they’re slippery and rub against your palm, scary but lovable! The sea-view platform on the hilltop offers a panoramic view of the island’s bays. • Xinglong Botanical Garden: August is the peak season for tropical fruits. Walking into the garden feels like entering a green maze, smelling the aroma of cocoa fruit and pepper vines. You can also taste Xinglong coffee and cocoa tea for free—rich and refreshing. 🍤【Food Without Disappointment】 • Nanyang Flavors: Must-try curry beef brisket and Qingbuliang (a cold dessert). The curry is so rich it can be mixed with three bowls of rice, and Qingbuliang is loaded with ingredients piled high, with coconut milk that cools and relieves spiciness. • Seafood Stalls: Go straight to the dock to pick freshly landed seafood. Try spicy mango conch stir-fry and steamed Hele crab. The shrimp meat is so bouncy it dances in your mouth. Paired with chilled beer, it’s amazing! • Hou’an Rice Noodles: Have a bowl for breakfast. The bone broth is milky white, served with fresh shrimp and conch meat. One slurp and you feel completely refreshed, ready to start a full-energy day. 🏨【Accommodation Recommendations】 • The Westin Shimei Bay: Open the balcony door and the sea is right there. The pool leads directly to the beach. Fall asleep listening to the waves and wake up to the sunshine. • Riyue Bay Homestay: Choose one with a small courtyard. At night, you can have a barbecue and stargaze in the yard. The owner also organizes surfing sessions, making it super easy to meet new friends. 💡【Tips】 • UV rays are strong in August, so bring sunscreen, sun hats, and sun-protective clothing, or you’ll easily get sunburned like a “black coal ball”~ • Apply professional sunscreen before surfing to avoid polluting the sea with regular sunscreen. • Eat seafood at places with clear pricing or ask the homestay owner for recommendations to avoid being overcharged. Babies, Maning in August is a kind of passionate and sincere beauty. The waves will remember your screams, the beach will keep your footprints, and even the wind carries an invitation to “come play again.” Trust me, coming at this time is definitely worth it—you’ll never want to leave once you arrive🚀!
