Must-See Guide for Family Fun in Lingshui! 3 Hidden Tips to Explore Rich Ocean World with Kids

🌴【Ultra-Practical Lingshui Travel Guide】Hidden Gem Without Tourist Traps – Explore This Coastal Treasure for Just $115 Per Person! 📍 Why Choose Lingshui? Located in southeastern Hainan, Lingshui offers the same crystal-clear waters, powdery white beaches, and authentic fishing village charm as Sanya – but with fewer crowds and lower prices! Perfect for budget-conscious travelers seeking an immersive seaside experience. 🚗 Transportation Guide ✔️ Major Transport: Fly to Sanya Phoenix Airport/Haikou Meilan Airport, then take high-speed rail to Lingshui Station (30min from Sanya, 1.5h from Haikou) ✔️ Local Travel: Rent an e-bike ($7/day) or car – attractions are scattered and taxis expensive! 🌊 Must-Visit Spots 1️⃣ Boundary Island 🔹 Ticket+Ferry: $17 – Stunning diving, stingray feeding, and glass-bottom boat photos! 🔹 Pro Tip: Board at 8am to avoid crowds; don't miss the underwater Buddha diving site. 2️⃣ Clearwater Bay 🔹 FREE! "Singing Sands Beach" with pristine waters. Navigate to "Agile Sales Center" for best coastline. 3️⃣ Danjia Floating Village 🔹 Marvel at this aquatic community. $7 boat tours include fresh seafood processing! 4️⃣ Rich Ocean Joy World 🔹 Hainan's largest marine park – perfect for families with spectacular night fireworks! 🍤 Food Recommendations 🔥 Xincun Night Market ▪️ Must-try: Xufuji Oysters (12 for $7), Sister Hua's Desserts ($1 coconut pudding) ▪️ Warning: Bargain hard at seafood markets – ensure drained weight! 🔥 Danjia Cuisine ▪️ Sour Melon Fish Soup, Coconut Rice at "Sea Fishing Restaurant" ($12/person) 💰 Money-Saving Tips ✅ Stay at Clearwater Bay or downtown – $30 beachfront apartments (half Sanya's price!) ✅ Book Boundary Island tickets online 1 day early to save $2 ✅ Buy tide-pooling gear online – $3/set rentals onsite are overpriced 📆 3-Day Itinerary Day1: Boundary Island diving → Xincun Night Market Day2: Clearwater Bay sunrise → Danjia lunch → Rich Ocean night show Day3: Chiling Village tide-pooling → Coconut Grove Village cultural photos ⚠️ Pitfall Alerts ✖️ Avoid pearl/coral souvenirs at attractions – most are fake! ✖️ Skip Diaoluo Mountain in rain – slippery trails and mosquitoes ✖️ SUNSCREEN! Hainan's UV rays cause instant peeling Lingshui's slow life: Morning fishing boat horns, afternoon hammocks in coconut groves, pink sunsets over evening sands~ 🌅
