Xi Island, Xi Island, I will never, ever forget you. I had my first diving experience at Xi Island, my first fish therapy experience at Xi Island... In order to see the glass-glass sightseeing boat at Xi Island, I foolishly took a boat back to Sanya by myself, and left all my things at Xi Island. When I called my best friend to tell her that I was going back, she was confused on the phone and told other friends that I swam back first... In short, although my friends still laugh at me when they think of this accident, I feel happy because of the laughter that brings joy to everyone.

I heard that the sea water is very clear, so I decided to go to West Island as my second stop in Sanya. I went there by car and bought tickets on Fengwozi.com. The price was 95 yuan per ticket, including the scenic area and round-trip boat tickets. I felt a little dizzy when I took the boat. It is best to sit by the window. It takes about 13 minutes to get there. The sea water is so clear. We camped under the coconut trees a little further away from the boat. The price of marine entertainment projects is not proportional to the playing time. The motorboat and parasailing I played were said to be 10 minutes, and the motorboat took about three minutes. I ran a circle and came back. 180 yuan was gone, and the speed was not very fast. I guess it was because I was a girl; the parasailing took two minutes from going up to coming down, but it is worth recommending, 320 yuan, which is quite interesting; the children's sea park, children don't have to pay, but they need adults to accompany them, 100 yuan for an adult, it's best for dad to play with them. With two children, I didn't go to Niuwangling, but played with the sea water at the beach. There is still construction on the island, and the food prices are reasonable. A bowl of cold noodles costs 20, and squid costs 15, 25, or 35. If you go, it is best to bring some food and bedding.

The island under construction is estimated to be more beautiful than Wuzhizhou Island when it is completed. There are not many people going there on Monday. It is more cost-effective to sign up for a local tour and you don’t have to squeeze into the bus. There are many fun things to experience inside. I swam in the water. The water is very cool and there are changing rooms. You must take an electric car to go inside, otherwise the location of one attraction to another is very far. However, there are only two attractions. One is the stone ladder on Jinniu Island. It is very shaky. There is a big and majestic golden bull on the top. There is also a fishing village, which feels like a pier. There are books on the sea inside to visit. There is nothing else, just some water projects and snacks. Coconuts are 15 each and the juice is not very sweet.

There are many islands to choose from in Sanya. We chose West Island based on comments from netizens, traffic conditions, geographical location and other factors. It is very convenient to take a bus from our accommodation to West Island Station and take a boat to the island at the pier. The scenery of West Island is so beautiful that it looks like a painting. The sky is so blue and the water is so clear. We put ourselves in the painting, and nature is the most beautiful filter.

After landing on the island, we first took an electric car to the farthest Niuwangling, which is an island within an island. Climbing up and overlooking the island scenery, the sea and the sky are one color, which is refreshing and refreshing. It is a super-saturated color that even Gong Qijun’s cartoons cannot depict.

After visiting Niuwangling, the electric car took us back to the landing point and we began to roam around West Island. We went to the Coral Old House, the Red Detachment of Women Memorial Hall, the Sea Study, tasted island coconut juice, had lunch at the "Yu Ni Jianmian" restaurant, and drank mung bean jasmine tea and mango smoothie from the Jiaguwu snack bar next door. Chatting with the restaurant owner, I learned that she is also from Heilongjiang. Along the way, we met people from my hometown everywhere. My mother and I joked that the name of this place should be changed. It would be so appropriate to call it "Hainan City, Heilongjiang Province".

West Island is divided into two parts: Niuwang Island and residential area. You can buy a battery car ticket at the ticket place of West Island. The battery car seems to be 30 yuan per person. The battery car goes to Niuwang Island and then returns to the tourist center. The scenery of Niuwang Island is not bad. If you want to walk by the sea and take pictures, you can choose to walk without buying a battery car ticket. There are some props for tourists to take pictures, which is not bad. There are also small battery cars that can be rented on the road. The residential area has a strong commercial atmosphere, but you can also take a look and experience the local customs.

The overall feeling is OK, but there are many people on the island. I heard that you need to queue for more than an hour to go diving. It is said that during the National Day holiday, you need to queue for more than three hours. It is said that diving and other activities are cheaper than Wuzhizhou Island.

By Xiaoying~lo |

The main attractions of West Island are divided into two parts, one is Niu Island and the other is the fishing village. It is more suitable for diving and sea activities. After getting off the boat, you will see the service hall, where you can buy tickets for sightseeing buses. There are sightseeing buses that only go to Niu Island, and there are also buses that go to Niu Island and the fishing village. I only bought the one that goes to Niu Island. Later I found that the distance is not far, and I can actually walk there.

There is a road connecting to Niu Island. Niu Island is relatively small, and the most eye-catching thing is the golden bull statue on the top of the mountain.

The sea water here is very beautiful

Afterwards we went to the fishing village, where there are some famous small attractions, such as the Coral Old House, the Cultural and Creative Center, the Maritime Bookstore, etc.

There is also a row of private seafood restaurants on the beach where you can have lunch, but it is very windy.

Unfortunately, the Shanghai Bookstore was closed when I went there.

This is the Cultural and Creative Center. Later, I looked for the Coral Old House but couldn't find it. Finally, I realized that all the houses in this area are old houses. They still have a sense of vicissitudes. The small fishing village is very clean and the environment is also very good.

http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/20670085.html From my travel notes "❤️Summer is here, write poetry on the seaside❤️The most tranquil small-group tour in Sanya (Houhai Queen's Bay, Wuzhizhou Island, Phoenix Island, West Island)"



As more and more people like niche tours, literary islands like Xidao have gradually become popular. In addition to many literary graffiti and sculptures, you can also play water sports such as parasailing, snorkeling, and motorboats. There are homestays and hotels on the island, but there are relatively few restaurants, and the food in the tourist center is hard to describe. You need to buy a boat ticket to go to the island. The online ticket is 85 yuan. You must buy it at least one hour in advance to avoid not being able to redeem the ticket on site.



The waves on West Island are roaring, and the little fish in the water and the graffiti fish are all quiet. Listen to the conch blowing the signal in the distance, see the flowers blooming in the corners of the alleys, the boat swaying on the shore, there is the fragrance of books in the air, and the beauty has arrived.



In the quiet summer, the whole beach belongs only to the leisure of two people. The sea and the sky are drawn with a light blue line. The scorching sun is particularly dazzling in the afternoon, and the big conch nestles warmly beside you.



There are surprises everywhere on the small road in Xidao Fishing Village. Walking along the shore is full of childish fun. Look at those square fish, all swimming towards you, scattering colorful colors, gathering into the shape of love for you.

West Island is definitely a relatively niche choice for friends who are visiting Sanya for the first time, but its unique style is

It attracted me (well, the main reason is that West Island is very close to the airport), but even so you still have to believe that this is a treasure attraction that you will not regret coming to. The sea water is very clear but there are not many tourists, the beach is not crowded at all, the island projects are complete and the price is cheaper than Wuzhizhou Island, and there are real villages and aboriginals on West Island, which is a bit similar to Cheung Chau Island in Hong Kong. It is very simple and worth a visit

By vv_Jenny |

The sea water is blue-green, and there is enough time to stay at sea for a night

By Li Fen🌾 |

Sanya is a scam. Xidao is a scam. Don't trust taxis. They are all scammers. 598. Dive for 5 minutes.

By Camellia |

Xi Island is really beautiful, but there are not as many people as Wuzhizhou Island.

By hyacinth! |

The scenery is average, but the water is relatively clear and there are sometimes many tourists.

By Lemongrass flavor |

You have to go to the pier and wait for the boat to pass, which I personally think is not interesting. You can dive~

By Big Bad Wolf |

A small island southwest of Sanya city, with beautiful scenery and clear water, it has become a popular destination for various marine leisure and entertainment sports.

By China-TravelNote users |

Because we were not allowed to go to Wuzhizhou Island with the elderly, we originally made a plan to go to Fenjiezhou Island, but it rained on Fenjiezhou Island, so we had no choice but to choose Xi Island.

The whole island is under construction. The free beach chairs mentioned in the guide map have become chargeable. All the people are crowded on the beach in a tiny swimming area. The beach is full of gravel and broken shells, and it is impossible to go barefoot. In short, I don't recommend it at all... Other attractions are basically under construction except Niuwang Island.

By China-TravelNote users |

Beautiful West Island, beautiful Sanya, standing on the island and looking at Sanya City from afar, I feel

By Large lightning fish |

There are fewer people than Wuzhizhou, but the scenery is also beautiful. You can rent an electric car on the island and travel around the island.

By Dreamer Su Chen |

I just went to West Island yesterday. The diving is really a bummer. The water is so dirty and you can't go far away. The instructor will talk to you for 15 minutes on the surface of the water in 30 minutes. In addition, the photographer will never press the shutter for the fifth time for the 180 yuan four photos you take. He doesn't care what you take. The other items are OK. The scenery is still good, but West Island is currently under renovation and many places cannot be visited. I personally don't recommend it.

By koala |

It is really beautiful. It's a pity that I stayed there for too short a time. I hope I can stay with my family for a few days next time.

By If it’s a sunny day, it’s like a rainy day |

Don't go, you'll be ripped off, construction is going on everywhere. There are too few places to visit

By Evan's Diary |

When you travel in Southeast Asia, island hopping is a standard tour. The so-called island hopping is to use an island or peninsula as a base camp (such as Phuket or Krabi) and take a boat to visit nearby islands on the same day. Since these islands are far away from the land and deeper into the ocean, the scenery is more beautiful and the water is bluer. Sanya also has similar island hopping tours, namely Xidao Island and Wuzhizhou Island.

The reason why we chose West Island is very simple. Wuzhizhou Island has been too popular in recent years, with too many tourists. In addition, we still stayed in the city on the fourth day, and West Island was much closer, so we decisively chose to go to West Island. Regarding the comparison of the two islands, I have a simple analysis in the TIPS at the end of the travel notes, which can be used as a reference. The transportation to West Island is very convenient. We also took the bus to and from. There are several buses in the city that pass by West Island. Get off directly at the pier. The tickets and boat tickets are bought online in advance, so you can check the tickets and get on the boat directly. The 8-kilometer journey takes 20 minutes. The water quality of West Island is very clean, and the sand is very fine and soft, which is not inferior to Southeast Asia at all. You can swim or participate in various entertainment activities in the designated area. The facilities on the island are very complete, and there is everything you need for eating, drinking, playing, and shopping.

It is especially worth mentioning that Niuwang Island, which is connected to Xi Island, is a great place for taking photos, but you must buy a sightseeing bus ticket to go there. Niuwang Island is very small and deeper into the ocean. You can visit the whole island in a short time. How is the scenery? Let's take a look at the pictures.

By dss |

Niuwangling on Xi Island has a nice sea view and many activities to experience on the island. It is economical and much cheaper than Wuzhizhou Island. The water is also very good and it is worth a visit.

By Walking in the clouds |

As a mainlander, I yearn for the sea very much. It is very beautiful. The place where water sports are concentrated is very beautiful.

By Pig Bajie carrying his wife on his back is funny |

For those who like sea fishing, Xidao is definitely the best choice. There are several fishing platforms on the east side of Xidao, which can accommodate more than 100 people fishing at the same time. Hundreds of sets of lightweight and easy-to-use fishing gear are provided, and the scenic area is also equipped with experienced fishing masters to provide guidance at any time. Compared with Wuzhizhou, the offshore projects of Xidao are cheaper and cost-effective, especially the all-inclusive product of Xidao, which includes 19 projects for more than 900 yuan. If the time is arranged reasonably, most of the projects can be played.

By wbjlu06 |

We took a taxi from the hotel to Xiaoqi Port, about 16 kilometers away. The taxi cost about 38 yuan. You can take bus No. 24 or No. 25 to get there. Booked tickets for Ximen Island on Taobao the day before for 85 yuan per person. Please note that you must book the tickets the night before. Otherwise, if you book the tickets on the day, you will have to wait two hours before you can enter.

By wbpku85 |

The most beautiful sea in my memory is Xidao. Although Xidao is small in size, it is absolutely beautiful. I really love it. Sanya is a place to see the sea. The most suitable sea activity in Xidao is umbrella swinging. It will be more beautiful if you record it. The blue sky and colorful umbrellas are so beautiful. Remember to bring sunscreen and swimsuit when you come here. There is a swimming area.

Beautiful West Island, stayed in a homestay, lived as an islander for a day, went to the beach in the evening, beautiful...

By Wallere |

Of the two islands, the 4A West Island and the 5A Wuzhizhou Island, the locals prefer the West Island because it is a little closer to other scenic spots and not on the eastern side like the Wuzhizhou Island. In addition, the various marine projects on the West Island are more favorable than those on the Wuzhizhou Island. The sea water is really green and very clear. It is still under construction to be upgraded to a 5A island. The island within the island is worth taking a tour bus for 35 yuan to take a look. It is very nice!

By Jing |

All facilities cost $$$$. It is highly recommended if you just want to see the scenery, but you must take good sun protection in the summer as it is very sunny!

If you don't mind the trouble, it's best to bring food with you. I remember that the food stalls in the scenic area will close when the time is up.

By How can you be so worried? |

West Island is really blue sea and blue sky! Hot, hot, hot.

By A girl who loves to act like a spoiled child |

Compared with Wuzhizhou Island, I chose West Island because Wuzhizhou Island has all the attractions that West Island has. Wuzhizhou Island just has better scenery than West Island, but the fees on Wuzhizhou Island are higher. If you play all the attractions, it will be 1,000 to 2,000 more expensive per person than West Island. The only drawback of West Island is that several attractions are under construction. It is recommended not to go there within 1 year.

By Gypsophila paniculata |

As soon as we landed on the island, the tour guide began to introduce the attractions here. If you don't play some activities, it won't take long to see the West Island. Seeing the tour guide introduce how fun diving is, we were tempted. Although it was a bit expensive (400 per person), we thought about it for a while and decided to play it. Since we were here, and it was the only time in our life, we would definitely not play it again in the future. Well, we bought tickets with curiosity about the corals and fish under the sea. We put on diving suits and received about one or two minutes of on-site teaching. Let's go to the sea~~

We were so hungry that we hurried back to the city to eat the seafood mentioned in the guide. We chose the Little Beard Seafood Processing Shop in the First Market. We were so hungry that we ran straight into the market to buy seafood. There were so many seafood here that we just wandered around. We bought the seafood we liked and took it directly to the processing shop. We recommend the Sichuan Little Beard Seafood Processing Shop. The fresh seafood is processed into delicious seafood. We started eating as soon as the seafood came up. We finally got to eat the authentic and delicious seafood in Hainan. Let's enjoy the seafood feast~

By Didi |

The sand on West Island is not white and soft enough, but it has its own unique style.

The favorite suspension bridge, the majestic golden buffalo, and the unique shallows are all delightful.

After playing on the beach, it was relaxing to take a nap in the rest area. I was a little reluctant to leave.

By fafa |

West Island is probably my favorite attraction in Sanya. I played several water sports there, which was very relaxing and exciting. Maybe there were fewer people when I went there, and the weather was good, so I had a lot of fun the whole day. But I felt that the coral reef diving was a rip-off. Anyway, the instructor was perfunctory and kept recommending the underwater photography. I only went around the island in the afternoon. The scenery at Niuwang Island is really beautiful.

By wxya |

Xidao is so beautiful!!! Even with a crappy phone, you can still take beautiful photos. You can also rent bicycles and ride along the coast, which is great~

By Beyond lone |

I highly recommend going to the West Island Scenic Area. I have been there twice. Although the facilities on the island are relatively immature, you can climb freely on the reefs on the island. Just be careful. I think West Island is worth going. In fact, the marine entertainment projects are the same, and West Island needs to be further developed.

By Moon |

A good place for diving. I chose offshore snorkeling. After paying the fee, I took a battery car to change clothes and receive simple training. Don't be afraid if you can't swim. The masters are one-on-one. It is absolutely safe. You can go as deep as you can according to your ability. There are many fish and some corals, but the colors are relatively simple.

By Golden Buddha Tablet |

This morning I took a 9.9 yuan one-day tour to Xidao Island. I took bus No. 25 from Dadonghai in the morning and arrived at Xidao Tourist Center in 1 hour. The staff enthusiastically guided me to quickly go through the ticket exchange procedures and board the ship smoothly. It took more than ten minutes to get to the island. There were more tourists on weekends today. I played freely on the island for about three hours. There were many construction projects on the island, the water quality of the coast was very good, there were more recreational projects and fewer tourists queuing. In short, Xidao Island is a good attraction worth visiting.

By Huang Shaojun |

Before I came here, I had heard that this place is a paradise on the sea and a dynamic paradise. It is indeed beautiful with beaches, coral reefs, coconut trees, rocks, fishing villages, cliffs...

West Island is surrounded by sea water, with wide water and low tide, making it a paradise for marine sports. There are many recreational activities here, such as motorboat, parasailing, sea fishing, banana boat, kayaking... Tourists of different ages, interests and physical conditions can enjoy their own activities.

By pride |

Xidao Island, also known as Ximaozhou Island, is a piece of pure land on the sea. Together with the nearby Dongmaozhou Island, it is known as one of the scenic spots in Sanya, "Bo Fu Shuang Dai".

The two islands are like two hawksbill turtles swimming in the blue waves.

After landing, the whole island is surrounded by blue, like a paradise on the sea.

There are many water entertainment projects on the island, but my wife is timid. She definitely can't play parasailing, and diving is even more impossible. She can only play banana boats and motorboats on the beach. Even this is very exciting for a weak woman like my wife.

By Travel far away |

When you get on the island, you will find that the water here is indeed cleaner than those near the sea in Sanya Bay.

There are seats in front of the swimming area, charging: 80 for one hour, 150 for two hours, 200 for a day. There are coral slag and slag feet in the water. You can take a fresh water shower after swimming for 10 yuan per person.

Many places on West Island are under repair and construction, so it's a bit messy. There's nothing to do. It's not interesting if you don't play water sports. It's nice to go to Niuwangling, it feels very open.

By Xuanhai Guyang |

The scenery is beautiful. Although the sun is very strong, it is not hot at all as we avoid the shade.

By China-TravelNote users |

It's not fun, and there are no scenic spots for taking photos. Only the beach is OK. I was deceived by the taxi driver to come here. I regret it so much. I paid 140 yuan for a ticket. There are fences and repairs everywhere. I don't recommend you to come here. It's better to go to other places in the district.

By A fierce road |

Xi Island is an island that has not been fully developed. Many places are under construction. The environment is average, and the beach is full of broken corals, which are very painful to step on.

By AngelsFamily |

Xidao is also an island in Sanya that has not been overdeveloped. Niuwangling on it is nice and you can go and have a look, but you need a battery car to get there.

By Kael |

Wuzhizhou is too far and too crowded, so I want to go to Tianya Haijiao. The black car driver said that this place is fun and very, very good. After getting off the car, he also helped me buy tickets, but I was cheated. The electronic tickets are much cheaper. Don't trust those local touts no matter how enthusiastic they are. You have to queue for a long time to get in and out, or pay 100 for a speedboat, but you have to queue for this too. A pair of slippers inside costs 80, and some of the charged items are more expensive. Even so, you have to wait for more than half an hour to play anything. The swimming area is not big, and there is no place to tread water. Going there on holidays is just torturing yourself.

By Jenny |

There are many activities at the beach, including reef diving, deep sea motorcycle, offshore diving, parasailing, sea motorcycle, flying fish boat, fish therapy, buffet, Niuwangling, and Lover's Bridge. The scenery of Lover's Bridge is also very beautiful. Xidao was once the most famous island in Sanya, and later became Wuzhizhou.

By China-TravelNote users |

I am a tourist from Xinji, Hebei. On February 26, I lost my watch in a locker while I was diving in Xidao. The next day, I found that my watch was missing. I called the general office with a try-and-see attitude, and I really found it! Thanks to the Xidao general office and the staff. I want to praise the spirit of the Hainan people for returning the lost property!

By sandinlife |

It can be said that I was a little disappointed when I came to Sanya. Maybe for tourists who love culture, there is something missing here. In fact, Sanya has a long history, but it is not well planned and designed.

The only reason why I felt that the trip to West Island was worthwhile was not because of its natural environment, but because of the fishing village.

I saw in the guide that half a day was enough time for the tour, so I went out early, went to the island and headed straight to Niuwangling, because it was relatively quiet. The scenery was indeed beautiful and not very strenuous. What was frustrating was that the sky was cloudy early in the morning and visibility was poor.

After descending Niuwangling, I wanted to go back. On the way back, the driver said we could go to the village, so I got interested and went into the fishing village.

Xidao Fishing Village is currently developing cultural tourism and also has two certified homestays.

There are several signs hanging at the entrance of the fishing village, including the Women's Militia Exhibition Hall, the Cultural and Creative Center, etc. Xidao is actually a very famous place. The reason for its fame is that the early movie "Haixia", which describes female militia on the island, is based on the prototype of the female militia here.

Following the direction of the sign, we gradually went deeper into the fishing village and saw the sign of "Coral Old House". Our eyes lit up. We went inside and saw several old houses built with coral stones. They were all old houses of the fishermen in the village. No one lives in them now, so they have been specially preserved.

The Cultural and Creative Center is also a highlight. It was converted from an old house. It is very beautiful, a great and successful "renovation" project.

After leaving these two places, I went to the Women's Militia Exhibition Hall, which is inside the neighborhood committee and is also a relatively deep place in the village. 😁 I also saw the Coral Science Museum on the way. The house was not big and it seemed that it had not been fully built yet, so I didn't go in.

After the tour, I walked along the coastal road of the village to the exit. I had a better understanding of the past. When I saw the fishermen and fishing boats and the sea, I had a different feeling. This might be a kind of connection. You can go anywhere to play entertainment activities at the seaside. Only cultural history can help us truly understand this land. Xidao Fishing Village is a very suitable place. I hope the construction will become more and more profound.

I have been in Sanya for a week and the sun finally came out today. I booked a ticket to West Island online after seeing the sun. It was worth the trip! I also want to complain that the Tropical Forest Park has no characteristics. I suggest that friends who travel independently should not go there! In summary, I had a lot of fun and took a lot of photos 😃

Because we arrived on an early flight, the hotel can only check in at noon, so we walked around. The scenery on the island is very nice, the sea water and the sand are much better than Sanya Bay. The disadvantage is that it is very commercialized. If you are alone on vacation, it is also a good place to hang out.

The first place I went to when I arrived in Sanya was Xidao. It was very open, with big waves and strong winds.

Very suitable for children, the elderly and couples to take a walk, the environment is very good

The scenery is just average. The entertainment activities are suitable for young people: banana boat, speedboat, diving, parasailing, etc., which are also available on other islands. But I found that the ticket price is cheaper on China-TravelNote than on Qunar.com. Qunar.com is 150 yuan (including electric car), while China-TravelNote is 133 yuan. I will compare before going to the scenic spots in the future. It is still affordable here! Give 100 likes 👍

The latest project in Sanya West Island is the water entertainment that suits our taste. We experienced Sanya West Island Water Park, watched the beautiful corals under the sea up close, and went diving and partying with friends in Wibit-Sea Park.

I highly recommend West Island!!! Because only part of the island is developed, there are not many people, but the scenery and the beach are really beautiful, the environment is peaceful, and you can feel the refreshing sea breeze with your heart!

Not recommended, just to see the sea, in fact, you can go to Yalong Bay, there is really no need to come here, really not recommended

You can go and have a look. The boat ride takes 15 minutes. If you are prone to seasickness, just sit in the middle. There are also things to do on the island. The barbecue restaurant as soon as you enter the island is pretty good and delicious.

An island with relatively affordable and convenient transportation. Although the transportation is convenient, there are still not as many tourists as Wuzhizhou Island, so the sea water quality is very good, and there are many water sports that are very affordable. The only drawback is that the public facilities are too poor, the washing and storage areas are too old, and the buffet is mediocre and has no characteristics.

I have to give a thumbs up to the Xidao Tourist Area, highly recommended! It's a small island on the sea. Take a cruise ship to get there in 15 minutes. You can go diving, parasailing, motorboats, banana boats, speedboats... Next door is Niuwangling. Take an electric car to go there. There are reefs and the sea, a suspension bridge, pavilions, and terraces. You can enjoy the sea breeze and see beauties. Take an electric car back to the distribution center, take off your pants and go to the fixed swimming pool to take a bath and see beauties. I originally planned to go back to Niuwangling to see the bikini beauty, but she left, which was disappointing. The kind-looking girl also left, which was disappointing again. Forget it and board the return ship. Fortunately, I saw the girl who looked like the one in college, and I couldn't help but think about it for a long time. Xihai, beauty, touching the scene brings back emotions.

Just after arriving at West Island, a sudden storm hit, and the guys who were parasailing were unable to come out for half a day. The sea water was very clear, there were few people, and it was generally good.

West Island is so beautiful. The sea water is so clear. It is worth a visit.

Xi Island was recommended to us by a taxi driver from Sanya.

We originally took a taxi from the hotel to Tianya Haijiao. When we got in the car, the driver said: Why go to Tianya Haijiao? Locals don't go there. The West Island near Tianya Haijiao is beautiful. My companion and I looked at each other in surprise. Because we learned from the conversation that the driver was from Hunan and not a local, we always felt a little bit lured to spend money. We were a little bit reluctant, but in the end, we thought that Tianya Haijiao was not interesting, and the driver was sincere, so we agreed. I didn't expect the scenery of West Island to be amazing! Really, it is no less than Wuzhizhou Island.

What a rip-off place. The tourist area and residential area of ​​West Island are separated. You cannot go to the residential area casually. You need someone to lead you in.

The water is very blue and the ferry is not far from downtown Sanya.

It takes 30 minutes by boat to reach West Island. The visibility of the sea water here is very high, there are a lot of corals and shells, and the scenery is beyond description. Highly recommended

On the third day in Sanya, the sky finally cleared up.

A friend arranged for us to go diving in Xidao. We rode an electric donkey all the way west. On the way, we looked at the bikini beauties and bought some drinks. We also saw military planes flying over our heads.

Passing by a local village, I don't know what traditional festival it is today, but there are many people setting up tables on the roadside as if they are going to have a banquet. The students were picked up by their parents at noon and went home for the holiday.

When we arrived at West Island, there was no place to park the electric bike, so we ended up parking it in the employee carport. Bubble also saw the skinks that he often saw when he was a child.

We got the tickets and boarded the boat, and after a while we reached the island. We walked around and spelled words with corals, but thought there was nothing interesting to do, so we went diving.

The fear from the last snorkeling in Singapore still dominated me, and I was very nervous. Fortunately, the instructor was serious and patient.

But the wind was too strong that day, the sea was turbid, and the instructor thought I didn't need to wear a 300-degree diving mask. I couldn't see anything clearly underwater. Except for some vague fish and corals, I didn't feel that there was anything fun. After diving for a while, I asked to go ashore.

But after diving to 5.3 meters, I still feel that I have made great progress.

It was beyond my imagination. The sea here can be compared with the sea in Thailand. I regretted not bringing my children here. My mood plummeted. There is a diving base here. I plan to let my children learn it in the future. It's just too sunny at noon, and the food is expensive and not delicious. Although the island is not big, there are places to stay. I didn't see the sign saying more than 300. It might be more fun at night.

The high consumption level of Xidao Island is far better than that of Southeast Asian countries. The discounted price for the boat ticket to the island + buffet is 158 yuan. The beach chairs are 100 yuan/1 hour, 150 yuan/2 hours, and 200 yuan/unlimited time (robbed). Water activities are not cheap... The sea water is so-so, the beach is so-so, and the coral reef island is just full of coral reefs... How simple the residents who came to Xidao more than 10 years ago were, but now they are more concerned about money.

I personally think that Xidao is an island for leisure and entertainment. It is not far from the end of the world. After going to the island, the main thing is to play various projects on the island. Generally speaking, it is still very good. In addition to diving, I personally feel that the most interesting thing is parasailing, but it only takes a few minutes to turn around and costs 300 yuan. There are also many other marine projects. Of course, in addition to these, you can also go to the beach to swim. I visited Niuwangling. This scenic spot is not very high. It takes a few minutes to reach the top, but you can see the scenery of the surrounding sea. The scenery is good. It’s a pity that you can’t walk there by yourself. You have to spend 35 yuan to take an electric car. I personally think that the most pit is the glass sightseeing boat. I thought the bottom of the boat was all glass, but it turned out that there was a small glass window below, but the price of 180 yuan per person is a bit too expensive. I personally feel that the sea water around Xidao is clearer and better than the sea water in Sanya Bay. It’s better to go and play. Finally, I want to complain about the buffet restaurant on the island. There is almost nothing to eat, but the price is not low. There is basically no seafood, but it is still called a seafood restaurant. In addition, the consumption on the island is too expensive. A bottle of water costs 5 yuan. Oh!

Very clean island, nice scenery. Especially Niuwangling
