❤Recommendation reason: Our schedule this time was quite tight, as we had limited vacation time, so we didn’t include Wanning in our itinerary at first. However, after watching the variety show “Summer Surf Shop”, we were attracted by the coziness and freedom of Wanning, so we squeezed out a day and made Wanning the first stop of our trip! 🗓Itinerary: ✨D1: Go straight to the airport after get off work, arrive at Haikou Meilan Airport at around 10 pm, and check in directly to Haikou Meilan International Airport Hotel (Terminal T1T2 Branch), which is 130 meters away on foot, to facilitate the next day's itinerary. The hotel is super close to the airport and clean, with a high cost-effectiveness! [Awesome] ✨D2 morning: I got up early and checked in at the Haikou Bell Tower and Qilou Old Street (the airport hotel was originally located below the train station, which was very convenient, but since I was already here, I might as well take a photo of Haikou's iconic attractions as a souvenir, so it was equivalent to spending an extra round trip), and immediately caught the train after checking in✅. We arrived in Wanning in less than an hour and checked into the Jundun Hotel (Wanning High-speed Railway Station). The price was not expensive, which was a little surprising because I booked it in a hurry and followed my habit of staying close to home (to facilitate the subsequent train to Sanya). The hotel is very close to the train station and became my first choice. The overall cleanliness, friendly service, convenient check-in and great value for money! D2 afternoon: Put away the luggage, take the equipment, and then take a taxi 🚗 to go to "Summer Surf Shop" & 🏄 (not knowing how to swim caused psychological fear. Although it was not successful, it was still a small attempt [Awesome]). If you have plenty of time and love surfing, you can stay longer and have fun! ✨D3: 🚄Yalong Bay Station, then take a taxi to the hotel, Atlantis Sanya. This hotel is good for those with children. Guests can use facial recognition to visit Atlantis Water World Sanya and The Lost Chambers Aquarium Sanya an unlimited number of times. ✨D4: You can take a taxi or charter a car to Nanshan Cultural Tourism Area, spend a day of worship🙏, and climb Nanshan Sea Goddess of Mercy, which is spectacular! ✨D5: Sleep until you wake up naturally ~ The hotel will send you directly to the airport for free, ✈️Go home happily! 🏠

There's plenty to do in Haikou at night besides the sunset bus! So even if you miss the sunset, you won't be bored. 1️⃣ Pobolu → Mario Building [Photos 2-4] This place is perfect for taking photos! It's a free 🆓 online celebrity check-in spot. Since it's only visible from one side, make sure you get the location right! Otherwise, you'll go around in circles and not see it. Location 🗺: Phase 2 of Pobo Jiayuan (on Pobolu Road👆) 2️⃣ Funbay Zizaiwan [Photos 5-6] This is a newly popular internet-famous area. The most popular attraction is the "Silly Tree". There are also many beautiful restaurants + a bayside walking area. Location: Yu Hai Zhi Yue Restaurant (have the driver take you inside) 3️⃣ Haida South Gate Night Market [Photos 7-12] As night falls, around 7pm, you can head here➡ one of the most concentrated + liveliest places to eat in Haikou at night. The variety of food is similar to night markets across the country. [Highly Recommended] Hainan Pickled Noodles (you can ask for less vinegar) + oysters/scallops + tropical fruits (must be freshly cut. Some vendors will claim they are freshly cut, but put the spoiled ones at the bottom, so be sure to watch them cut before buying). [Avoid] Takoyaki + fried chicken fillet (I tried three places, and it was definitely the worst chicken fillet I've ever had) + unknown meats (really unsanitary). 4️⃣ Arcade Culture Street [Photos 13-16] Not far from Haida South Gate is Arcade Culture Street, about a 20-minute walk from the sea. Along the way, you can see the Haikou Clock Tower (it's beautiful at night with the lights on). Arcade Culture Street is a collection of food, drink, and entertainment (you must try the Hainan Qingbuliang there). You can also enjoy the arcade culture and light show.

In fact, our schedule this time was quite tight. Due to limited vacation time, we didn’t include Wanning in the itinerary at first. But after watching the variety show “Summer Surf Shop”, we were attracted by the coziness and freedom of Wanning. We squeezed out a day and made Wanning the first stop of our trip! 🗓Itinerary: D1: After get off work, I went straight to the airport and arrived at Haikou Meilan Airport at around 10 pm. I checked directly into the airport hotel which was 130 meters away on foot. 😴 D2: I rushed to check in at the Haikou Bell Tower and Qilou Old Street early in the morning (the airport hotel was conveniently located right below the train station, but since I was already there, I might as well take a photo of Haikou's iconic attractions as a souvenir, so it took me an extra round trip). After checking in✅, I immediately caught the train🚄. We arrived in Wanning in less than an hour, and we were a little surprised when we checked into the Royal Crowne Plaza Hotel (Wanning High-speed Railway Station), because we booked it in a hurry and followed my habit of staying close to the hotel (to facilitate the subsequent train to Sanya). The hotel is very close to the train station. It is clean and tidy overall, the service is warm, and check-in is very convenient. It is very cost-effective! Then we took a taxi 🚗 and headed to "Summer Surf Shop" & 🏄 (I was psychologically afraid because I couldn't swim. Although I didn't succeed, it was still a small attempt [Awesome]). If you have plenty of time and love surfing, you can stay longer and have fun! D3-D5: 🚄Yalong Bay Station, then take a taxi to the hotel Atlantis Sanya. The next few days will be spent playing in Water World, visiting the aquarium, walking on the waves 🌊, and paying homage to Nanshan Cultural Tourism Area 🙏! Finally go home happily! 🏠
