Giving up on Sanya, this place is too amazing, 🟡 came here just because of a song

**📍【Must-Visit Attractions】** 1️⃣ **Riyue Bay**: The surfing capital of China! Beginners can choose Shaka Surf Club (same as Wang Yibo), 298 RMB for 2 hours of lessons, free GoPro filming for epic shots! Head to GROM bar at sunset for an exciting nightlife~ 2️⃣ **Shimei Bay**: The most beautiful bay in Hainan, go snorkeling at Jiajing Island to see the glass sea and coral reefs, aerial shots of the two-tone sea are stunning! Phoenix Jiuli Book House faces the sea, coffee with the sound of waves is super healing. 3️⃣ **Shenzhou Peninsula**: Popular red and white lighthouse + Corona Sunset Bar, order a special cocktail at dusk, watch the pink and purple sky, every shot looks cinematic! 4️⃣ **Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden**: Over 1200 tropical plants, DIY chocolate + Xinglong coffee, paired with Nanyang-style restaurant’s luo nai hua and curry fish balls, only 50 RMB per person for a feast! **🚗【Transportation Tips】** ✔️ Flying to Haikou is 30% cheaper than Sanya, 1.5h high-speed train direct to Wanning, rent a Tank 300 for off-road beach fun! ✔️ Rent an electric bike at Riyue Bay for 50 RMB/day, coastal riding is free and photogenic. **🍜【Food Recommendations】** ▪️ Xinglong Central Market: Grab Vietnamese drip coffee and Indonesian layer cake from 7 AM, must-try late-night snacks include Sister Xia’s Hou’an rice noodles + soft-boiled eggs! ▪️ Wuchang Wharf and Le Crab Porridge: Slow-cooked porridge base + freshly caught crab, so fresh it’ll blow your mind~ **🏨【Accommodation Guide】** 🔸 Surfers stay at Riyue Bay Forest Hostel, great youth hostel vibe; 🔸 For a relaxing vacation, choose Shimei Bay Le Méridien/Westin, private beach + cave pool; 🔸 On a budget? Shenzhou Peninsula guesthouses from 200+/night, sea view from your window! **💡【Avoid Pitfalls】** ⚠️ On cloudy days, go to Qiaohai Ranch to shoot scenes like "Kikujiro’s Summer," wearing white makes your photos pop! ⚠️ For seafood, make sure to “cut crab claws to check freshness,” and bring herbal ointment (5 RMB/box) to prevent betel nut bug bites. **📌 The romance of Wanning is the freedom on a surfboard, the sunset under the lighthouse, the old Nanyang dreams in the coffee valley!** Follow me to unlock more hidden gems~ #WanningTravel #SurfingParadise #HainanGuide
