Hidden Artistic Guide to Sanya's Little Kamakura

Who says Sanya is all about sunshine and beaches? West Island is the secret haven for artistic souls! 🌴 ✨ Artistic Highlights of West Island 1️⃣ Seaside Bookstore: A glass house with stunning ocean views—order a coffee and daydream all day 📖 2️⃣ Coral Wall Graffiti: Vintage-style photos everywhere with old houses built from coral stones by locals 3️⃣ Fishing Boat Art Museum: Abandoned fishing boats transformed into art spaces featuring unique installations 💡 Insider Tips ▫️ Rent an electric scooter to explore the island (haggle down to 30/hour for a good deal!) ▫️ Catch the sunrise at Niuwang Ridge—pink skies and rocky silhouettes are breathtaking ▫️ Buy fresh seafood at the pier market and have it cooked at nearby shops for just 10 yuan ⚠️ Heads-up: Fewer boats leave the island after 4 PM—don’t miss the last ferry! Skip the overrated shrimp cakes; try Auntie’s coconut cake instead 📸 Photo Outfit Tips: White maxi dress + straw bag = natural reflector Best lighting is 1 hour before sunset (Islander-approved routes for those who keep getting asked for directions 🗺️) Location: Sanya West Island Scenic Area (90 yuan for round-trip ferry tickets)
