I want to go to the beach in Sanya with you and enjoy the healing blue.
The gentle waves and sea breeze
are like the feelings of love and not love, all free
I really like Sanya in January, a season with its own filter
immersed in a healing atmosphere
soothing the tired body and mind
·
And this time, I stayed at the Boundary Island Fishing Club
which is so beautiful that it makes my heart flutter, from the romance of the sunset on the beach
to the view of the endless sea, every view touches my heart
By the way, let me share our experience guide for this stay
🤍The hotel is located on an isolated island in the South China Sea
You need to buy a ticket from the Boundary Island Ticket Center and take a boat to get there
PS: When you book a hotel, you will get two round-trip boat tickets
🤍The room type I stayed in was E510, which is also quite good
In fact, there is no need to choose 517, many rooms have quite good views
Every photo you take has a great atmosphere!
The decoration design is also inclined to the mountain forest style, simple and plain
🤍Maybe because the hotel is located in the suburbs
plus the sea breeze is cool and comfortable, the wind is really strong at night
There will be a whirring sound, so prepare a small jacket when you go out at night
🤍There are many sea activities on the island, and you can get a discount when you stay at the hotel. You can also feed the devil fish
As for the food, there are many restaurants on the island, so don't worry about being hungry
🤍Breakfast is buffet style 🤨 but there are fewer varieties
·
In the afternoon, walk by the sea
just watching the waves hit the rocks
rolling the beach, with a few friends
or talk to the sunrise and sunset, life becomes gentle
I gave up Sanya, the sea view here is amazing, cheap and good to stay
The sky infinity pool room in Clearwater Bay that was popular before has recently become popular again! The top Westin's 200-square-meter suite comes with a sky pool. It sounds very expensive, but dear! If you ask around, you will know that such a high-end two-bedroom suite, when calculated per person, is cheaper than staying in a basic room in a popular hotel in Haitang Bay, Sanya. Only Westin offers such a great deal!
A sea view room for 3 days and 2 nights is really irresistible.
There are also snacks, a mini bar, duty-free shops, and various room benefits to enjoy. For travel and vacation, let's arrange the Blue Bay Westin directly.
In Sanya, you can stay in a basic room, but here you can stay in a luxury sea view room!
Every room has a 180-degree sea view, you can see the sea lying on the bed. I dare say, it is the most amazing sea view hotel in Sanya~
Blue Bay Greentown Westin is located in Clearwater Bay, which is less crowded and quiet, with blue sea and white sand, full of vacation atmosphere.
I gave up on Sanya! The sea view here is amazing! And it's cheap!
If you still insist on Sanya when you mention Hainan, it's a pity. Sanya is beautiful, but it's not the only beautiful place. Besides the well-known Haitang Bay, Yalong Bay, and Sanya Bay, there are also Clearwater Bay, Shimei Bay, and Xiangshui Bay. They are all beautiful, but they are hidden away, which is such a shame! In Sanya, you can only get a basic room, but here you can stay in a luxurious sea view room! Every room offers a 180-degree sea view, and you can see the sea from your bed. I dare say, this is the hotel with the best sea view in Sanya.
The Westin Blue Bay Resort & Spa is located in Clearwater Bay. It's quiet and less crowded, with blue seas and white sands, full of vacation vibes.
All large rooms offer a full sea view, and you can enjoy the stunning sea view while lying down.
All room types have balconies over 10 meters long, and each room has a large bathtub facing the sea and a walk-in closet. For sisters who love taking photos, don't miss out. There are many photo spots, especially the sea view pool in the room, where you can take amazing photos effortlessly.
Of course, food is a must. There are many local delicacies near the hotel in Lingshui.
There's a surf shop next door, and you can go surfing in the sea. Clearwater Bay is a paradise for surfing beginners with its calm and safe waves.
The hotel's 1000-square-meter pool is fantastic, and there are flamingo float beds for taking Instagram-worthy photos.
Besides the pool, there are also a drifting pool, rock cave, and water slide projects. You won't be bored staying at the hotel.
I thought Sanya was beautiful until I came to Lingshui
Sanya's neighbor, Lingshui, has really become my annual vacation destination! Fewer people! Lower prices! And the locals are very enthusiastic!
The hotel I chose this time is full of beautiful scenery everywhere, there's no need to go out to find any popular photo spots! The photos all look great
It's niche and incredibly beautiful! And there are really few people, the privacy is very strong, it's fantastic👍👍
Advantages
1. Villa area, each room has a private swimming pool
2. The hotel's public infinity pool is an excellent spot, casually taken photos are super beautiful
3. The shuttle is very fast, it's convenient to go anywhere
4. Private beach, which is not on the same level as Sanya's beaches at all!! Fewer people and great for taking photos!
5. Close to Fenjiezhou Island, about a 10-minute drive, very convenient to go to the nearby new village night market, have dinner, Fenjiezhou Island!
Xiangshui Junlan Hotel
It's really not recommended to visit Fenjiezhou Island by the sea in May
Because it's stunningly beautiful! There is a breathtaking glass sea here
This place is truly a paradise on earth, it's so beautiful, with eyes full of blue sea and sky, the water is clear to the bottom, a beauty that photos can't capture, you must come and experience it for yourself.

I swear! From now on, when vacationing in Lingshui, I will always stay at this seaside villa
I swear! From now on, when vacationing in Lingshui, I will always stay at this seaside villa.
In Lingshui, Hainan, the clear waters are crystal clear under the sunlight. The shadows of coconut palms, the gentle breeze, and the rustling sound in the woods heal the tired body and mind. This homestay in Lingshui Xiangshui Bay, adjacent to Fenjiezhou Island and Nanwan Monkey Island, backed by mountains and facing the sea, enjoys the beautiful seascape of the extended coastline, which is very suitable for a vacation!
The location of the homestay is very good, within walking distance to the beach, and most of the scenic spots are very close. The overall design of the villa integrates the simple architectural elements into the tropical courtyard, achieving a layout of one household per courtyard, and each courtyard has a different view. The greenery in the park is lush, with a view at every step, full of vacation atmosphere.
The design of the courtyard villa, the entire living environment is very comfortable and spacious. Every day, staying in the villa's yard, without stepping out, you can drink coffee on the lounge chair in the yard and enjoy sunbathing. When it gets too hot, you can dive into the swimming pool and feel the coolness of the water. The large floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to see the greenery of the garden view, which is very pleasant~

Address: No.26, Area A, Xiangshui Bay, Guangpo Town, Lingshui Li Autonomous County, Hainan Province
It's really right here in China! The glass jelly sea is so beautiful that it's astonishing
|| Be sure to visit Fenjiezhou Island when you're in Hainan, where the scenery is beautiful and there are fewer people.
🔴 Below is a personal travel guide and sharing of my experience:
✔ Purchase tickets online in advance, which can be used one hour later. Enter the scenic area with the admission code. Adult tickets are 122 yuan (including round-trip boat tickets), and half price for the elderly and children; sightseeing tour car tickets are 40 yuan per person, which is recommended to buy, as walking up the mountain is tiring.
✔ Transportation: Depart from Sanya by car at 8:30 am, about 1 hour's drive, and there is a parking fee; if you choose the high-speed train, you can go from Sanya Station to Lingshui Station, which takes about 25 minutes.
✔ Tour route:
1⃣ Arrive at the pier at 9:30 am, the boat ride to the island takes about 15 minutes, and those who get seasick should take medicine half an hour in advance.
2⃣ After disembarking, reach the visitor center, turn left and walk straight to Moonlight Castle, along the way there are marine theaters, sea fishing clubs, and helicopters, and the sea area along this route is extremely beautiful.
3⃣ Moonlight Castle has ancient Roman-style architecture and a 180-degree sea view, and it's easy to take good photos everywhere. There is a long cement slope at the entrance, where you can check in at the entrance stone frame, stairs, swings, etc. However, this area is open and unshaded, hot and sunny, so it's recommended to bring an umbrella/sun protection clothing/a small fan.
4⃣ After taking photos, return to the visitor center and cross the food and shopping street to reach the sightseeing tour car area to take the car. The station route is: Dadongtian Station - Fengdongshi Station - Huanxitang Station - Yuefengting Station.
5⃣ Dadongtian Station has sandy beaches with coconut trees, hot air balloons, churches, cafes, and other popular internet celebrity check-in spots, and the jelly blue sea is stunning, with crystal clear water.
6⃣ Fengdongshi Station has Fenjiezhou Island's popular cliff cabins, personally, I think the scenery at this station is the most beautiful on the island, as if you are abroad.
7⃣ Huanxitang Station has cliff coffee and the Fenjiezhou Island monument, with free hot coffee, this place is higher up, with a wide view of the sea.
8⃣ Yuefengting Station has a sea-facing cliff plank road and observation deck, Judgment Valley, with beautiful scenery, overlooking the vast sea, and the wind is cool above.
9⃣ Return to the visitor center station, the nearby beach is available for play, with fine soft sand, devil fish, beach loungers, and various sea activities can be played.
Beyond Sanya, the scenery is beautiful and there are fewer people, and the consumption is more affordable
🌴 Visit Lingshui, away from the hustle and bustle, immersed in the embrace of nature 🌊In Lingshui, compared to popular cities like Sanya and Wanning, the flow of people is sparse, the prices are affordable, but the charm of high-quality beaches is not lost. Wild attractions such as Clearwater Bay, Raffles Bay, and Perfume Bay, carry a rich self-driving tour experience, and the holiday atmosphere is no less than other cities.
🚗 Traffic tips: Self-driving is more convenient, but pay attention to the sparse public transportation. The transportation in Lingshui is slightly inconvenient, the number of buses is limited, mainly relying on taxis or car rentals. It is recommended to fly to Sanya Phoenix Airport first, which is closer. You can choose to take a high-speed train to Lingshui Station, about half an hour, or rent a car for self-driving, about 1 hour and 16 minutes by car. Guests staying at the Blue Bay Greentown Westin Hotel can take the hotel shuttle service outside Sanya Airport.🚐
🌞 Travel in Lingshui, pay attention to climate changes. The weather in Lingshui is mainly sunny, with occasional showers, mostly appearing in the evening. The temperature stays between 26-30 degrees, the sun is strong at noon, the ultraviolet rays are high, and tourists need to do a good job of sun protection.🌞
🏝 Explore the attractions: Boundary Island, the fairyland of the sea. Boundary Island is a highlight not to be missed. The color of the sea is as tempting as jelly. The island offers a variety of sea projects, it is recommended to go early to avoid the peak of summer crowds. Sightseeing car tickets are priced at 40 yuan/person, and tourists can conveniently tour the entire island.🏖
🚤 Clearwater Bay, Perfume Bay, Raffles Bay: The choice of quiet beaches. The water of Clearwater Bay is clear, next to it is the Desert Sand Lighthouse, which is also the filming location of 'Her Disappearance', standing on it to enjoy the sunset scenery, it is intoxicating. Perfume Bay and Raffles Bay are relatively quiet, with fewer people and tranquility, and the delicate beaches are suitable for watching the sunrise and sunset.🌅
🎣 Experience local features: Danjia Fish Raft and Xincun Pier Catching Sea. The Danjia Fish Raft is controversial and suitable for bringing children. Sitting on a fishing boat wandering on the sea, there is a chance to catch starfish, sea urchins, etc., but the smell is heavy, the water quality is not good, consider carefully. In addition, Xincun Pier is a good place to catch the sea, the beach is full of starfish, crabs, etc. that can be picked up, and the tools for catching the sea can be purchased nearby.🎣🌊
🐒 Nanwan Monkey Island, Daidai Island: Monkey Paradise. There are few attractions on Nanwan Monkey Island, mainly for close observation of monkeys. Choose to take a cable car to the island, overlooking the magnificent scenery of the Danjia Fish Raft, which has a different flavor. After playing, you can continue to take a sightseeing car to Daidai Island, and the cliff sea view on the way is intoxicating.🚡
🎢 Raffles Ocean Joy World: Laughter and excitement intertwined. Raffles Ocean Joy World is an entertainment resort not to be missed, 298 yuan can play multiple projects in the park (except the sea train). There are marine animal performances, rapids roller coasters, jungle drifting, whirlwind cars, Ferris wheels, etc. in the park. You need to rent a car to visit, and at the same time prepare a mobile phone waterproof bag, raincoat, rain boots, it is recommended to wear slippers.🎡
🚧 Road condition reminder: Be careful of mines on the coastal road of Raffles Bay. The blue wall section of the coastal road of Raffles Bay is short, it is recommended to proceed with caution.🚗⚠️
🦞 Taste seafood: Xincun Central Wholesale Market. If you want to taste fresh and affordable seafood, you can go to Xincun Central Wholesale Market. Next to the market is a small pier, supplying freshly caught seafood, fresh and reasonably priced.🦀🍤
I've given up on Sanya! The sea view here is absolutely stunning and the key is that it's cheap
I've given up on Sanya! The sea view here is absolutely stunning and the key is that it's cheap.
Is there still anyone who would choose Sanya for a beach vacation? Not only is the accommodation expensive during holidays, but there are also a lot of people. It's better to check out the neighboring Lingshui, a real hidden gem for travel! Especially the Blue Bay Greentown Westin Hotel, it's the most beautiful hotel in all of Sanya to watch the sea! You can see the sea just lying on the bed~
Each of the supreme sea view suites has what can be said to be the first high-altitude long strip infinity pool in the country.
This infinity pool faces the sea on one side, replacing the traditional balcony.
And the pool is very large, roughly estimated to be about 20 meters long, the water depth is only 1.2 meters, so even if you can't swim, you can have fun all day! The key is the super positive sea view angle for taking pictures is absolutely stunning!
Hotel environment
The hotel has an unbeatable sea view, clear sunshine, swaying coconut trees, which is intoxicating, this is also the filming location of the TV series 'Joyful Territory'.
Walking into the hotel is like walking into a fairyland like the Wizard of Oz. The spacious lobby, you can see the boundless sea view at a glance, the sunken round water-friendly platform, the beautiful infinity pool and the 11th floor viewing platform, the photo output rate is too high!

Family Vacation | You must stay in a room with a swimming pool in Lingshui!
If you take your child to Hainan Lingshui, you must stay in a room with a swimming pool! It's really great! The hotel is next to Clearwater Bay, with its own sea and beach, the sand here is so fine! Suitable for children to play with sand, there is a lighthouse in the distance, the scenery is great~ If you can get up early, you can come to watch the sunrise.
We chose the pool room, the sliding door opens outside is a super large swimming pool, and there are paddle boards to play at will! Ice cream screams to change the swimsuit and go down to play~ A casual shot looks great! It's pleasing to the eye! I have to sigh, this is a vacation~
And the photos are really good-looking!
⛱️Water Park⛱️
There is a music bubble show at 5 pm, in the 800 square meters super large water slide water village! Ice cream is crazy here, it's really exciting! Next to the water park is a big swimming pool.
🎠Indoor V Park🎠
There is also the indoor v park that children like more. Bumper cars, slides, rainbow slides, inflatable castles, etc., throw a child in, and you really can't get out until it gets dark.
🦞Seafood Buffet Dinner🦞
The buffet seafood dinner has crabs, salmon, prawns, steaks, and every ingredient is very fresh, and the new ones are also very fast. Eating buffet leisurely, I have to sigh that it's really good to live here!
Hotel selection ideas:
✅Consider Clearwater Bay for accommodation in Lingshui, the beach is clear and sandy, suitable for babies to play, full of holiday atmosphere.
✅Choose a family hotel for children, with good service and enough amusement facilities for children to play.
✅It is recommended to choose a newly opened or renovated in recent years, if it has been open for too long, I am afraid that the hotel hardware will not keep up.
Surrounding punch suggestions:
✅Daidai Island
✅Nanwan Monkey Island
✅Danjia Fish Row
✅Boundary Island
✅Clearwater Bay

Fengguoshan Watefalls - Hainan
Fengguoshan fengguoahan or 枫果山瀑布 are located in Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park in Hainan.
The park is vast, peaceful and beautiful, with numerous waterfalls, lush greenery and natural wonders.
I recommend exploring the area by car as visiting on foot in a single day is impossible. We went by car, driving many kilometres to reach various places but it was absolutely worth it.
The admission fee for foreigners is 70¥. A passport or a photo of the passport is required for registration, so keep that in mind.

Hainan Lingshui | Come and see the sea and catch the sea~
【Scenic Spot Avoidance Guide】
1⃣️Nanwan Monkey Island: ¥115 +
The sea near Monkey Island is really clear and blue and super beautiful, but it's really unnecessary to go up to Monkey Island to see monkeys. The Monkey Island scenic area is very small, there is nothing to see, some animal performances are really... .But the cable car scenery is okay
2⃣️Daidai Island: ¥100 +
Actually, it's just a coast and there's nothing to play with, and the nearby free sea area is not as clear as the outside sea, it's not worth it
3⃣️Monkey Island Catching the Sea: You can spend a boat ticket to catch the sea, ¥38, the free coast catching the sea is still very good looking
4⃣️Egg House Fish Raft: Just look from a distance, there's nothing to play with and nothing to see, don't waste money, 1 yuan water bus is just like that, after getting off the boat you want to go up to the scenic area will charge you a lot of car fare
5⃣️Boundary Island: 120 +
There are many charging projects on the island, it's actually unnecessary to go to the island just to see the sea, the nearby sea area is very beautiful
_
【Recommended Guide】Free Scenic Spots
1⃣️Monkey Island Free Coast: The coast of Xincun Town is very beautiful to see the sunrise in the morning, the ferry to the nearby coast can be very good looking, you can also catch the sea to pick up seafood, just spend a boat ticket
2⃣️Clear Water Bay + R&F Bay: A whole coast next to each other, you can go to see the sea, avoid holidays, a great place to see the sunrise
3⃣️Red Horn Ridge: Overlooking the entire Lingshui sea view from a high point, it takes 30min to walk and the difficulty is not big
4⃣️Harbor Ridge: Good place to catch the sea and a lot of seafood, the sea view is also good, be sure to wear rubber shoes otherwise many shells can easily scratch
_
【Nearby Scenic Spots】
✅Wanning Shimei Bay: It's only 30min drive from Lingshui, it's very fast, you can go and see
✅Sun and Moon Bay: Good place for surfing, avoid major holidays, the Spring Festival is crowded to suffocation, but surfing is very suitable
_
【Eating and Living Suggestions】The sea view is very expensive during the tourist season, all starting from a thousand, it is recommended to live in the city where the transportation is also convenient and the price will be three times cheaper~

‼Precautions:
1, Try to choose the morning time to go, the photo is good-looking
2, Sunscreen, sunscreen clothes, umbrellas, hats and other sunscreen items are to be brought, because the island is really sunny
3, It's easy to step on thunder on the island, the equipment conditions are old, and the prices on the island are quite high
4, About the island's food, next to the visitor center is the food street, there are many shops selling things
✨It is recommended to play these three stations together in Hainan: Sanya + Lingshui + Wanning. Sanya and Wanning also have many characteristic foods, you can check in one by one, such as Wanning's Nanyang dishes, Sanya's sour vinegar, Hainan dishes, Qingbu Liang, coconut chicken and other foods

Attraction name: Lingshui (Perfume) Bay

Lingshui Bay is located just past the famous Haitang Bay in Sanya. Why go here? It’s quieter, calmer and cheaper than most of Sanya.
You can find the amazing Marriott hotel here among many others. There are less crowds and stunning beach walks here. You can relax and watch the sunrise or sunset against the lighthouse. Lie on the sun-beds and listen to the glorious sea.

Hainan's Perfume Bay
Location: Perfume Bay (Xiangshui Wan) located in Lingshui.
Getting there: Only 70 minutes from Sanya airport.
Perfume Bay is a quiet but wonderful beach area to relax and spend a holiday. Along the bay there are four or five great hotels, including Marriott and Rezen...The crowds are fewer than Sanya and the hotels are cheaper.
Here you can enjoy the big waves and soft sand...it's a perfect place to escape the heat and enjoy the large sea breeze and soak yourself in the warm sea water.

A quiet but stunning beach resort!
Location: Lingshui, Sanya in Hainan island.
This hotel is called Xiangshui Bay Marriott hotel. It is a peaceful but very cosy hotel. There is a private beach, several swimming pools and nice sun loungers to enjoy the waves.
This area is just over an hour from the Sanya airport but you can definitely spend a few days just at the hotel.
We visited in December when it was a little chilly but still amazing . I recommend visiting in spring or summer so you can enjoy the swimming.

Perfume Bay in Lingshui
📍Getting There - take DiDi (English) to Arcadia Hotel
📍Hotels- - Arcadia Hotel or RoEasy Hospitality Hotel
📍Attractions - Beach 🏖
📍Food & Restaurants - there are street food options next to the RoEasy Hospitality hotel (at around 10 minutes by walk from the beach), dinner offers from the hotels or “RiseSun” restaurant.
It’s a remote place, quite far from other tourist attractions (40 minutes by taxi from Houhai Village). Very peaceful area with clear beach and beautiful sea. There aren’t any cafes or bars on the beach. If you want to enjoy the nature and have a rest from other hectic tourist places full of people you must come here. Prices for hotels and food are cheaper than in central parts of Sanya.
Monkey island adventure
If you want to see monkeys, look no further!
A ticket to the island will set you back ¥147 which include ferry/cable car to and from the island, i suggest taking a cable car since the fairy is less than a 5 min drive. All other activities on the island are included in the price
As soon as you arrive on the island you will find monkeys everywhere. Just make sure not to carry anything in your hands because the monkeys are prone to grab and they do get aggressive.
It’s definitely a trip worth taking it you’re in the area. #monkeyisland #crazymonkeys #sanya #monkeycircus #monkeycomedyshow #cablecars #ferry
Lingshui (陵水)is a hidden gem near Sanya for ppl who admire the blue sea and the waves.
Pros: no ppl, beautiful and tranquil beach, clear water, good surfing spot for beginners, dazzling nightlife and good seafood nearby in Haitang bay (20-30 min ride) close to Houhai, just a 20 min ride.
Cons: not so much to see besides the ocean, far from city center and airport.#beaches #seafoodfeast #ocean
Qingshui Bay Ocean Hotel

Ambiance/Facilities - The hotel is a service apartment - each room has a kitchen area including a sink and stove.
The rooms are large and include lounging chairs, balcony, separate shower, toilet, and bath tub.
Beds are large, slightly hard by western standards, but comfortable. Rooms come with a TV and powerful air conditioner. The balcony offers Seaviews and a washing machine. There is a pool and fitness center on site.
Highlights - The beach, a very long stretch of sand, is accessible in less than 5 minutes walk.

Rating - 3.5 /5
Boundary Island, Lingshui, Hainan
Getting There: Boundary Island is very near Limgshui's Perfume Bay. Entry tickets include a 10 minute boat to the Island and cost between 110 to 122 RMB.
Boats leave the dock to and from the Island every 10 minutes.
Attractions: Much of the Island is an overpriced theme park with various attractions, including a free open air Rome-styled amphitheater, restaurant shaped like a Norwegian viking boat, Chinese temple, and a very small fenced in free swimming beach.
It's possible and quite easy to walk the entire Island on the cement paths or take park busses that transport passengers across the island.
There are typical activities that are customary on Chinese islands with exorbitant prices to match. Hainan isn't called the Hawaii of China without good reason.
The massively overpriced activities include scuba diving, snorkelling, jetski, banana boat rides, among others.
Prices are extremely high and cater to the most wealthy or those willing to pick the one activity that appeals to them the most.
Don't expect western standard experiences on any of the activities as they are made as safe and as unfun as possible.
Imagine scuba diving off a barge 100 meters from shore with every diver having a personal guide holding your tank the entire time at a max depth of 10 meters. The price for this "adventure" is 588 RMB.
Snorkeling is no better with a guide and flotation raft for support in the fish less waters in the enclosed swimming beach.
Jetski trips involve a guide that drives the jetski as you feel like an 8 year old again being protected by your parents on your first foray in the water.
If these trips and others sound appealing then Boundary Island is worth a visit. If you've ever experienced these types of activities in other destinations and more authentically then Boundary Island can remain an unseen sight.
The scenery of the island is beautiful, but so are other islands at half the cost and without the crowds and sprawling tourist traps and overpriced restaurants.
Hotels: Boundary Island hotel consists of bungalows scattered on the hillside with wonderful views. At prices ranging from $90 to $150 for the cheapest option depending on the season, they seem like a great choice when visiting the Island; however, that assumes the Island is appealing in the first place.
It's at most worth a day trip, and only to explore the various lookouts and free activities.
Restaurants: There are many food stalls and restaurants on the island catering to the hoards of Chinese tourists. Better to bring your own snacks with these prices, otherwise expect to pay your month's salary for your 1-day family outing to Boundary Island.
