It seems that all the time can be wasted here😂 I am very happy every day here
🎈Riyue Bay
This place satisfies all the fantasies and love of young people for the island, with places like Sunac Church, Coconut Palm Road, Haimen Coconut Workshop, and 216 Restaurant Bar worth checking in. The photos turn out great, and it's recommended to choose a restaurant in advance to avoid being overcharged.
🎈Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse & Coconut Tree Road
The beautiful lighthouse from the movie 'The Disappearing Her' is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and it's very photogenic.
The beach on Coconut Tree Road is the cleanest and most beautiful beach I think in Wanning!😊
🎈Shimei Bay Viewing Pavilion
From the viewing pavilion, you can gaze out at the vast sea, and it's the perfect spot to watch the sunset.
🎈dedeco Pool Bar
A pool bar close to the beach, it's really, really, really photogenic, with great design👍
The only downside is the minimum charge, with a minimum spend of 300 for poolside seats and 800 for the sunken circular seats.
🎈Qiaohai Ranch
Hainan's own 'Altay', Wanning is not only about the sea and beaches, but also large lawns and cute animals.

After the May Day holiday, Wanning returns to a state of fewer people and beautiful scenery
As someone who travels to Hainan every year, I sincerely want to offer some advice to those who are planning to visit Wanning soon!!
1️⃣ Before traveling to Wanning, be sure to check the weather. Hainan is like spring all year round, and the weather and humidity are the most important factors that will directly affect your travel experience.
2️⃣ It is currently the off-season, and after May Day until the 7th, the prices for flights and hotels generally decrease, so book your tickets to Wanning in advance.
3️⃣ Wanning does not have an airport, so you can choose to land in Sanya or Haikou and then take a high-speed train directly to Wanning. It is recommended to arrive at Shenzhou Station, which is closer to the scenic area hotels.
4️⃣ The attractions in Wanning are scattered, and it is a very chill coastal city. It is recommended to visit one attraction per day to fully enhance your experience.
5️⃣ For accommodation, you can choose homestays in Riyue Bay or hotels in Shenzhou Peninsula/ Shimei Bay. Depending on your budget, Riyue Bay is more crowded and noisy, while the two bays' hotels are quieter and more suitable for a vacation.
6️⃣ Riyue Bay is a must-visit, a gathering place for handsome guys and beautiful girls. Recommended internet-famous spots: Haimen Coconut Grove, Grom Cafe, 216 Bar.
7️⃣ The nightlife in Riyue Bay is more suitable for young people. In the evening, you can go to Haimen Street, where many trendy men and women gather in small bars, and the seaside is also lively with many people taking their children to catch seafood.
8️⃣ The Sunac Chapel is particularly photogenic, the same church as in the TV series 'Summer Flowers', facing the garden and backed by the sea, with a very high photo success rate.
9️⃣ The evening in Shenzhou Peninsula is not to be missed. Corona Sunset Bar or the lighthouse are excellent spots for sunset photography, and you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Coconut Palm Road.
🔟 Qiaohai Ranch is a must-visit on a sunny day. With light-colored clothing and sufficient sunlight, you can take amazing photos in minutes!
1️⃣1️⃣ The Hard Bar in Shimei Bay is a must-visit. Ladies should prepare a set of pink outfits, which are really fitting for the scene and great for taking beautiful photos.
1️⃣2️⃣ Shanqin Bay should be visited during the high tide period from 2-4 pm. When the waves are big, whether at Swallow Cave or on the rocks, the photos turn out particularly well.
1️⃣3️⃣ The cost of living in Xinglong Town, Wanning, is really not high. If you want to try Hainanese snacks, be sure to take a stroll there. However, if you want to try a wider variety, it's best to go earlier, as they might be sold out by around 9 am.
1️⃣4️⃣ Some photogenic small shops
📍 Riyue Bay: Haimen Coconut Grove - 216 Beach Bar - Sunac Chapel
📍 Shenzhou Peninsula: Qiaohai Ranch - dedeco - Corona Sunset Bar
📍 Shimei Bay: Guanhai Pavilion - Hard Bar Pink Beach

Shimei Bay - My favorite beach in China
If you're looking for a slice of paradise in China, Shimei Bay is the perfect destination. With its crystal-clear waters, soft white sand, and lush green hills, it's the ideal place to relax and unwind.
There are two amazing resorts on Shimei Bay that I would highly recommend for your stay. The first is the Le Meridian Shimei Bay Beach Resort & Spa, which offers luxurious accommodations with stunning views of the sea. The resort features a private beach, multiple swimming pools, and a range of restaurants and bars.
The second resort is the Westin Shimei Bay Resort, which offers spacious rooms and villas that are perfect for families or groups. The resort has an excellent fitness center, a kids' club, and a range of activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and beach volleyball.
Both resorts offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of Shimei Bay, from beach walks to snorkeling and diving. If you're looking for a more active vacation, the Westin offers an array of water sports, including surfing and windsurfing.
Shimei Bay is a true gem on Hainan Island, and these resorts are the perfect places to stay to experience its beauty and serenity.

Sanya, Hainan | A great place to relax and have fun.

On the Wanning Tourist Coastal Highway, you can see the beach surrounded by the sea on three sides from the bridge. The color of the sea is beautiful, and you can pick up shells on the beach. 🐚

The black reefs on the beach have a small Icelandic feel, and the Swallow Cave is also a great place to take photos.
Qiaohai Ranch
The green grassland, together with the white geese and buffaloes, is as beautiful as an oil painting. 🖼️ It is recommended to come in the morning on a sunny day, as the photos will be better and the animals will be more energetic.
Shimei Bay Beach
There is an intersection under the big tree on the downhill of the sea-view pavilion where you can go down to the Shimei Bay Beach. The sea is very clear, the glass sea and the reef beach are very beautiful, and there is a very comfortable camp on the beach. Walk a few minutes forward to the Hard Bar Pink Bar.

The same lighthouse as in "Lost in the Stars". You can take a long shot by the tower wall to avoid the crowd. The coconut grove road to the lighthouse is beautiful, and you can rent an electric bike to ride around.
Riyue Bay
Coconut grove, sunshine, sea, beach, surfing 🏄♀️
There are many coffee shops facing the sea, and you can spend a leisurely afternoon in any of them.

Wanning | The most suitable beach for relaxing has appeared
Hi, I am Nuyoah. I found a beautiful and relaxing beach in Wanning.
⭐Address: Shimei Bay Beach. First, navigate to the Guanhai Pavilion. I recommend taking a taxi because it involves less walking. Although there are many vehicles parked by the roadside, it is safer to park rented cars in the parking lot. I recommend the Huaren outdoor parking lot diagonally opposite. Although you need to walk a bit, it is free, and you can have dinner there when you return in the evening.
⭐Tour route: Overlook the beach panorama from Guanhai Pavilion - Go downstairs and turn left, turn left at the big tree (picture 16) to reach the beach - Rest & take photos at the first coffee shop on the beach "HL coffee" - Walk to the right side of the beach to reach the Westin Pink Beach - Return to Huaren for dinner.
⭐HL coffee
Great location, good view, directly opposite "Accompany you to love this time". With a minimum consumption of one drink, you can sit from day to night. I recommend the first row seats with an unobstructed view. The nearby shops have many props suitable for taking photos, such as swings and triangular houses. The lady boss is beautiful and nice. Parents with children can sit here and watch their kids collect shells in the rocks opposite. We went twice during our stay in Wanning, it's very suitable for relaxing and doing nothing.
⭐Westin Pink Beach
You can reach it by walking along the coastline from HL COFFEE, which takes about 15-20 minutes. Along the way, you can enjoy various water activities such as helicopter parasailing and surfing. Of course, you can also experience them if you are interested. I inquired, and the surfing lessons here are not expensive, about three to four hundred per person. The pink beach is actually composed of pink sofas and pink parasols. Since I had a similar experience at Shenzhou Peninsula before, I didn't go.
✨The reason why I recommend Shimei Bay is that it is not as commercialized and crowded as Riyue Bay. That place is too noisy, but here it is much quieter and also suitable for beachcombing. Dining is also convenient. However, if you want to watch the sunset, the orientation is not right, as it is blocked by buildings. Just enjoy the beautiful sea. You can also see Jiajing Island, which is nice.

Graeme (高天乐Photographer)
My genuine experience of going to Wanning is to persuade as many as I can
Don't try to be a commando when you go to Wanning! The romantic sea, the slightly tipsy sea breeze, and the warm and friendly islanders are all worth taking the time to appreciate!
✅ Transportation✈️
We flew directly from Chengdu to Haikou, and after a day of eating and playing in Haikou, we took a high-speed train from Haikou East to Wanning, and remember to choose Shenzhou Station when you get to Wanning!
✅ Itinerary
🔷Day1: Haikou arrival - Hotel - Bell Tower - Hainan University South Gate Night Market - Arcade Old Street
🔷Day2: 🛵 Wanning Riyue Bay Coconut Road - Haimen Coconut Workshop - Grom Coffee Shop - Sun and Moon Bay Auditorium by Sunac
🔷Day3: 🛵 Wanning Shimei Bay Coastal Road - Guanhai Pavilion - Phoenix Jiuli Bookstore - Shimei Bay Beach - Hard bar Pink Bar - Xinglong Town for delicious food
🔷Day4: 🛵 Wanning Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse - Shenzhou Peninsula Beach - Corona Sunset Bar
🔷Day5: Shenzhou Station - Meilan Station - Meilan Airport✈️
✅ Accommodation🏠
On the first day, we stayed in the Arcade Old Street in Haikou, which was convenient for going anywhere~
On the second and third days, we stayed at a B&B in Shimei Bay, with two bedrooms, a living room, and a large balcony, which was only 157 due to the off-season, and the location was also very good, I really liked it so much💕!
The fourth day we stayed on the Shenzhou Peninsula, with great lighting and views, very close to the Shenzhou Lighthouse - highly recommended!
✅ Gourmet
There are really so many fresh and unique flavors that I can't forget🥹
🍜 I highly recommend the seafood noodles at Daqiao Bar
🍲 The coconut chicken is so tender🥥
🍲 The sour and spicy freshness of the Zao Po Vinegar Hotpot is what I like
🍗 Qiang Brother's Hainan Chicken Rice
🥥 Nanyang Coconut Language
🥣 Sister Fang's Lingshui Sour Powder
🥤 Salt Value - Hydrating as I become a water baby in Hainan💦
🖐 I won't go into detail about the Qingbu Liang soup I have every day🏝
AlexRiv3rs
Coming here for a vacation, you'll want to come back again, the appeal is too strong
⛳️I really love Wanning, it's so suitable for relaxing and being lazy😊
It seems all the time can be wasted here😂Every day spent here is very happy
🎈Riyue Bay
This place fulfills all the fantasies and love that young people have for island seas, places like the Sunac Chapel, Coconut Palm Road, Haimen Coconut Workshop, and 216 Bar are all worth checking in, very photogenic. It's recommended to choose a restaurant in advance before going to avoid being overcharged.
🎈Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse & Coconut Tree Road
The same lighthouse from the movie 'The Disappearing Her' is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and it's very photogenic no matter how you take pictures.
The beach on Coconut Tree Road is what I think is the cleanest and most beautiful beach in Wanning!😊
🎈Shimei Bay Viewing Pavilion
From the Viewing Pavilion, you can gaze out at the vast sea and it's perfect for watching the sunset.
🎈dedeco Pool Bar
A pool bar close to the beach, really incredibly photogenic, with great design👍
The only downside is the minimum charge, with a minimum spend of 300 for poolside seats and 800 for the sunken ring seats.
🎈Qiaohai Ranch
Hainan's own 'Altay', Wanning is not only about the sea and beaches but also has large lawns and cute animals.
🎈Shanhai Wanderer
Primitive seascape, undisturbed comfort, sitting by the sea and watching the sunset is really comfortable, it's a bay that hasn't been fully developed yet👍
🎈Luwu Ranch
A super healing little ranch, feels like being abroad, with lots of small animals, mini horses, alpacas, sika deer... Pick up a vegetable cup, and the little animals will come running over, so cute!😊
🏝Accommodation Tips (Spend as you wish)
Shenzhou Peninsula/Shimei Bay: Many star-rated hotels, higher prices, private beaches with fine sand, quieter, for a better vacation experience.
Riyue Bay: There are many characteristic homestays, mostly concentrated on Riyue Island, very cost-effective, you can stay in a sea-view room for about two hundred, lively with many people.
Xinglong Town: Mainly focused on food, lower prices, accommodation conditions are a bit old, and it's far from the county area, not recommended for visitors.

The Most Comprehensive Guide to Wanning | Some personal feedback to help everyone avoid pitfalls
The Most Comprehensive Guide to Wanning | Some personal feedback to help everyone avoid pitfalls
Itinerary: Haikou✈️ Meilan Airport ➡️ High-speed train (ticket price 70 yuan) to Wanning🚉 (Shenzhou Station is closer to the scenic area than Wanning Station)
Flight tickets✈️: It's off-season recently❗️ Round trips from many cities are just over 1000 yuan, which is a huge bargain✅
Weather⛈️: Rainy season, the weather forecast shows thunderstorms every day, but it's not accurate. It didn't rain at all two days before we went, but it drizzled for the next two days😭 The locals say it's uncommon. But rain brings cooler temperatures! That's also a good thing!
Hotels🏨: 1️⃣ Star-rated hotels (good hygiene and service, lazily wake up to a rich buffet breakfast🍳, extremely comfortable) 2️⃣ Apartment with sea view (economical, balcony with sea view🌊, but hygiene might be slightly lacking) 3️⃣ Homestays (experience various styles👙, girls who like to take photos can consider)
Attractions💗: Divided into several major areas
1️⃣ Shenzhou Peninsula, the filming location of 'The Missing Her', I wasn't interested so I didn't go, but friends who went said it's a bit pricey, but the coastal road is beautiful.
2️⃣ Shimei Bay, sat in a seaside cafe for an afternoon, comfortable but... really a bit hot, all outdoor
3️⃣ Xinglong, just a small town, quite run-down, lower prices, you can go to try local food and fruits, experience the local culture.
4️⃣ Riyue Bay, where we spent more time, a surfing hotspot, mostly young people, bikinis, bars, fireworks. There are many homestays, and a small village, worth experiencing.
Food: 1️⃣ Highly recommend the Mong Kok pineapple buns🍞 in Xinglong, super soft and not greasy, go early, they're gone by the afternoon 2️⃣ Qingbu Liang🥥, the ones in Riyue Bay are not good, the Nanyang flavor flagship store's was okay😌 just so-so 3️⃣ Xinglong coffee☕️, can't taste the difference haha, but locals really have one in hand! 4️⃣ Coconut chicken🐔, locals recommended two small shops in Xinglong, but we didn't get to try, and didn't really want to go to the popular ones 5️⃣ The scenic areas are all run by outsiders selling barbecue Cantonese food and stuff, just, um um
Surfing🏄: Not surfing in Wanning would be a waste❗️❗️ 100-170/person (no difference mainly depends on bargaining, shh🤫🤫) It's cheaper when it rains, when it's almost dark, or when someone approaches you by the beach, we got a low price🤫. It's really a great deal, including surfing suit, surfboard, training, shower, 2 hours with a coach, unlimited time on your own, but you'll be very tired after playing for an hour. Non-swimmers can do it, but you'll choke on water and might get abrasions.
Summary: Cost-effectiveness🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Wanning is not too big, three to four days is completely enough, not a very developed city, suitable for a lazy and comfortable chill trip, completely relax yourself, girls must bring bikinis, guys must surf, rent an electric scooter and take a tour, over

Wanning Shimei Bay | A hundred adjectives praising the sea are not as good as seeing it for yourself once
Shimei Bay is in the middle of most attractions in Wanning, so it is also recommended to stay in Shimei Bay, where it takes about 20 minutes by taxi to Riyue Bay, Shenzhou Peninsula, and Xinglong.
Play in Shimei Bay:
Guanhai Pavilion:
The Guanhai Pavilion is actually next to the most beautiful highway, where there are many car-based shops, offering food and drinks. It is even more recommended to go to Shimei Bay for meals, and you can stop by for photos along the way.
Pink Beach:
Navigate to the Westin Hotel, and you can see it by passing through the lobby of the Westin Hotel to the beach. It is also very suitable to order a drink and leisurely enjoy an afternoon here. The pink decorations are very photogenic
Eat in Shimei Bay:
Taiqiong Zao Cake Vinegar Hotpot:
The base of the pot is a type of sour soup hotpot, slightly light, but the more you eat, the more you want to eat. The sour soup is very appetizing, and you can eat three big bowls of it The most recommended is: pickled cabbage beef shreds, which are amazing After comparison, group buying is a bit more cost-effective.
Tender Coconut Chicken:
The coconut chicken is very tender, and the soup base is boiled with pure coconut water, so it tastes rich in coconut flavor. The service is super good, meticulous 💜
Drink recommendation "Coconut Milk Rain Flower Fatty Beef"
Cantonese Restaurant:
This restaurant is right opposite the Westin Hotel, "Bai Qie Hainan Wenchang Chicken" is too fatty, the dipping sauce is also too oily and the dipping sauce did not play a finishing touch, on the contrary, it is greasier, maybe I don't understand Cantonese cuisine, so I won't comment on this, I don't really recommend it personally.
"Shenjing Roast Goose" tasted a bit salty when served, but it got slightly better with the dipping sauce. Worth a try. There is also a "sour cabbage something fish" if you can't accept the fishy taste of sea fish, be cautious, didn't really taste the sour cabbage, but highly recommend "Coconut Meat Juice Seafood Soup" was amazed at the first sip, full of coconut flavor with the freshness of seafood, memorable and a must-try Another recommendation is "Cold Mixed Sea Zhe" which is very much in line with the taste of Sichuan and Chongqing people 🎈 What I can't accept a little is that a bowl of rice costs 6 yuan
Overall, there is not much to play in Shimei Bay, but the more characteristic gourmet restaurants are all here, and the location is relatively convenient.

3. For Wanning specialties, go to Xinglong Central Market, prices are reasonable and mostly handmade by locals
4. It's recommended to eat less street food at night markets, as it's not very fresh or hygienic, better to dine in restaurants, there are many good eateries in Wanning!

The Pristine Beauty of Shimei Bay
Located on the eastern coast of Wanning City in Hainan Province, Shimei Bay is praised by experts from the World Tourism Organization as the most beautiful undeveloped bay in Hainan. It boasts stunning primitive scenery, with a 7-kilometer-long turquoise sea and silver beach. On one side of the beach is the boundless ocean, and on the other is a forest full of tropical charm. It consists of two crescent-shaped bays, surrounded by gently sloping hills lush with vegetation.
White sands, turquoise waves, palm trees, and the cries of seagulls create a unique South Sea landscape. Jiajing Island, within Shimei Bay, is about 3 kilometers from the coast and is one of the few tiny islands in Hainan with fresh water resources. Strolling along the beach or snorkeling to see the rich and colorful marine life will certainly be an eye-opening experience!

OSCAR BAILEY
The sun at the beach is blazing hot!
For sisters planning to come to Wanning, here are some honest tips about Qiaohai Ranch, Shimei Bay, and Riyue Bay:
1. Before you travel, be sure to check the weather and temperature. The season doesn't matter much as spring, summer, autumn, and winter are all fine, but the weather is very important! Weather and humidity directly affect the experience of your visit.
2. It is recommended to travel independently. After arriving in Haikou, take the high-speed train to Wanning,
where you can rent a car or an electric bike locally.
3. Wanning has strong ultraviolet rays, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun.
4. Wearing light-colored dresses for photos is very photogenic.
My two favorite check-in spots:
√ Qiaohai Ranch
It's a natural ranch, great for sisters who like to take photos!
The environment is unmanaged, but it's very original and full of life.
Blue skies, white clouds, grasslands, and streams, the sunlight makes it feel like walking into an oil painting.
Watching the geese flap and swim is so healing!!!
It's too hot at noon, so it's better to go around 4 pm~
But if you have high expectations for the attractions, there's no need to make a special trip. The photos are very photogenic, but there's not much else to do.
√ Shimei Bay Viewing Pavilion
Wanning is not just about Riyue Bay; Shimei Bay is also beautiful.
The coastal road is very picturesque, and if you go down the small path, you'll find a rocky beach that's also beautiful! The key is that there are fewer people than at Riyue Bay, so it's very relaxing. When I went there before, there were many distinctive cars and roadside stalls, which were great for taking photos! I don't know if they are still there now.
And the coconuts I bought were only 6 yuan each! So sweet and refreshing!
Sitting by the sea, idling away an afternoon, taking photos, chatting, and sunbathing
You can also walk down from the Viewing Pavilion to the beach. If you don't know the way, you can ask the stall owners. There are very few people by the sea, so you can have the whole beach to yourself.
The Gourmet Globetrotter
The sand here is fine and doesn't hurt your feet
The Shimei Bay is located in the southern part of the Xinglong Overseas Chinese Farm in Wanning, Hainan. We passed by here on our way to Wenchang and took the opportunity to visit, leaving a good impression.
The tourist facilities here are basically complete, and the resting environment provided by the beach is very stylish, with a bit of exotic flair.
The sand is very fine and walking to the seaside doesn't hurt your feet, and the sand doesn't get into your shoes. The entire bay has a very good visual appeal.
There are water and beach entertainment projects.
The scenic area is free to visit
