Live Your Best Lives
Lingshan Amusement Park is located in Lingshan Town, Meilan District, 16 kilometers east of the Haiyu East Line, about a 15-minute drive from Haikou City. It is Hainan's first large-scale amusement park. It blends classical Chinese garden art with modern large-scale amusement facilities. It boasts the country's largest ancient memorial archway, a towering and magnificent structure; a painted corridor modeled after Beijing's Summer Palace; and pavilions and terraces, creating a sense of oriental culture.
The park offers not only the usual bumper boats, lotus cups, and a shooting gallery, but also dozens of other large-scale rides, including the Brave Carousel, Crazy Mouse, Sliding Dragon, and self-controlled flying saucers. The most noteworthy attraction is the "Rapids" water slide, with a 600-meter-long water slide and the highest surfing slide 28 meters above the ground, said to be the world's highest. Those with a faint of heart should beware. Other attractions include the Horror World, the Water Great Wall, the "Sky Train" in the tropical rainforest, the "Underground Maze," and the "Underwater Recreation Palace," all of which are thrilling and worth a try.

Lingshan Amusement Park is considered the first large-scale amusement park in Hainan Province. It is located in Lingshan Town (灵山镇), Qiongshan District (琼山区), Haikou. It’s a local recreational destination for families and visitors to Haikou.
The park lies about 16 km east of Haikou city center, along the Haiyu East Line (海榆东线). You can reach it by local bus or minibus (专线中巴) from Haikou; by car or taxi it takes about 15 minutes from the city.
According to local listings, the park is open roughly 09:00 to 22:00. The best times to visit are mornings or early evenings to avoid midday heat and to catch more comfortable ride times.
According to a tourism listing, adult tickets are about ¥150 and children about ¥100. However, other sources (TripAdvisor, Chinese reviews) do not always display a fixed current fee. Tickets are likely bought on-site (offline). Some travel platforms may list them in advance, but I found no confirmed official online booking.
There is no strong evidence that advanced booking is mandatory. For peak times (weekends, holidays), booking a day ahead via a travel portal may offer convenience, but the park appears to handle walk-in visitors. (No solid official source found.)
A visit of 2 to 3 hours is commonly estimated to enjoy the rides and stroll through the park.
The main draw is the collection of amusement rides — bumper boats, rotating “lotus cups” (tea-cup style rides), swing rides, shooting gallery, and arcade/game halls.
No information suggests that guided tours or audio guides are available. The park seems to operate in a straightforward amusement-park mode without such services.
The colorful ride areas, central plazas, and any scenic ride backdrops make good photo spots. The rides themselves (looping, spinning) often provide dynamic shots. Also, the entrance area or signage is a good photo location.
Enter, take the major rides first while energy is high, then explore smaller rides or game halls, then wind down your visit with leisurely rides or strolling, ending near the exit area or snack zones.
Given the opening hours up to 22:00, it is plausible that rides operate into evening, but I found no confirmed information about light shows or night-only events at Lingshan Amusement Park.
The park can be busier on weekends and public holidays. Visiting on weekday mornings or non-peak hours will likely see fewer crowds.
The park has food and snack stalls, resting areas, and amusement game halls. Rides and basic visitor amenities are present. (Though details are modest in public sources.)
Children can enjoy the rides suitable for their age groups. Elderly visitors may be limited by choices of rides and walking distances. Accessibility for disabled visitors is not documented, so may be limited.
No confirmed details, but as with many amusement parks in China, mobile payments (Alipay / WeChat Pay) are often accepted; cash may still be used in smaller stalls. It’s wise to carry both options.
Inside the park are snack and food stalls. Nearby along the route in Lingshan Town and the outskirts of Haikou, local eateries serving Hainan cuisine are available.
Not specifically documented. Local restaurants may offer vegetable dishes; halal options are not clearly noted, so asking locally is advisable or bringing snacks.
Hotels within driving distance include Hilton Haikou Meilan and The Ritz-Carlton, Haikou, among others.
Nearby you might visit Haikou’s attractions like Hainan Rare Plant Science Park, Haikou’s parks, or combine with city tours in Haikou.
The park likely has small gift shops selling themed toys, souvenirs, maybe local snack products. However, I found no detailed list of souvenirs specific to Lingshan Amusement Park.
You can take a taxi or local bus back toward Haikou city or onward to your next target in Hainan. If using a rented car or driver, that gives you flexibility to combine with other scenic stops around Haikou.
