Enjoy Hainan | 5-Day Qixianling Hot Springs and Clearwater Bay Sunshine Coast Tour

Day 1: All Locations → → → Sanya★Meeting Day

All day

Today is the gathering day. Tourists from all over the world gather in Sanya and check in at designated hotels.


Free activities recommended

Tourists with ample time can go to Luhuitou on their own. This is the highest point in Sanya for gazing at the sea and watching the sunrise and sunset, and it is also a great place to overlook the panoramic view of Sanya City.

Taking the bus to Dadonghai is also a good option. With its clear water and fine sand, it's a natural bathing beach. If you don't want to go far, you can go to Sanya Bay and sit on the beach with friends to watch the sunset.

Go to the seafood street in the evening and find a restaurant with a high Dianping score. Do a market price survey in advance, be careful to avoid being cheated, and have a delicious seafood meal.

Day 2 Sanya → Luhuitou → Yanoda → Qixianling Hot Spring

All day

At around 8:00 am, after breakfast, we will gather in the hotel lobby and get on the bus.

We started our Hainan trip and arrived at the Luhuitou Scenic Area about an hour later.

We took an electric car to the top of the mountain. We could enjoy the view of Sanya Bay, a 15-meter-high deer sculpture, various stone tablets, stone carvings and inscriptions symbolizing love, and if we were lucky, we could see macaques jumping on the branches.


Gather in time and go to Yanoda Scenic Area

The dense rainforest here blocks out the sun, and the cascading waterfalls create a natural oxygen bar. There are three ways to visit the area: by land, water, and air. One is a walking tour, one is a waterfall walk, and the other is a zipline tour (optional).

We arrange a waterfall challenge (only for those over 7 years old, those under 1.2 meters and those over 55 years old are not recommended to participate. You can walk on the plank road next to it instead)

There are ten levels to shuttle through waterfalls and springs, check in at unique mountains and waters, and step on waterfalls and play in the water. Rocks stand on both sides of the river, and tropical rainforests block out the sun. Under the guidance of the coach, put on straw sandals, face the turbulent water, and go upstream.

After enjoying the waterfall, you can go up to the observation deck where you can enjoy the distant view. If you are interested, you can also try out the [Glass Plank Road] and [Cliff Swing] at your own expense.


After the tour, we will gather and go to Qixianling Hot Spring Resort Hotel to check in. This is one of the famous hot springs in Hainan (hot springs are included in the accommodation). After a tiring journey, soaking in a hot spring is very pleasant.

Driving distance: 90km

Note: We'll spend most of the day in the rainforest, so please bring some mosquito repellent. The zipline, waterfall, glass plank walk, and cliff swing are all optional activities.

Day 3 Qixianling → Nanwan Monkey Island → Tanka Fish Farm → Daidai Island → Clear Water Bay

All day

This morning, tourists can get up early to enjoy the magnificent sunrise over Qixianling, or they can sleep in until they wake up naturally.

Gather and check out in time, we head to Nanwan Monkey Island Pier

Then we took the cross-sea cable bridge to the scenic area (if there is a long queue, you can take the ferry instead). The cable car overlooks the entire Lingshui Tanka settlement area, the fish rafts and the blue sea, which is very spectacular.

Nanwan Monkey Island is a unique island-based macaque nature reserve. In addition to its pristine natural environment, home to nearly 400 species of tropical plants, nearly 100 species of animals, and over 2,500 macaques, a nationally protected species. Some roam in the trees, some swim in the man-made pool, and some watch tourists for food. Tourists can enjoy close encounters with these monkeys.


For lunch, we boarded a boat to visit the Tanka Fish Farm and sampled porridge made from porcupine. Tanka Fish Farm is home to the Tanka fishermen, the 57th ethnic group that has lived on the sea for generations. Each family navigates this small water town by fishing boat, creating a truly spectacular sight.

After the meal, we took a boat to visit the Tanka fish farm and then headed to the internet-famous island, Daidai Island, which is filled with all kinds of Instagram-style photo ornaments and is a popular local wedding photography destination.

Gather in time and head to Clearwater Bay

The sea's visibility reaches 25 meters, and the beach is flat, wading 200 meters away, with a depth of only 2 meters. It's a natural bathing beach. The sand is so fine that walking on it creates a clear, silvery "singing" sound, earning it the nickname "Singing Beach." Tonight, we'll stay at a seaside hotel and sleep amidst the waves.

Driving distance: 90km

Day 4 Clear Water Bay → Boundary Island

All day

Today, we don't need to move to another hotel. After breakfast, we headed north. Rows of betel nut trees, coconut trees, pineapple gardens, and mango gardens were everywhere. It took
about an hour to reach the long-awaited Boundary Island .

While Wuzhizhou Island is already overcrowded and overdeveloped, Fenjiezhou Island still retains its original natural beauty. Take a cruise to Fenjiezhou and the water on the island changes from transparent to turquoise, then to blue, and finally dissolves into the sky...


After lunch, we will appreciate this beautiful island carefully. Friends who like excitement can participate in diving and other sea activities at their own expense, or rent a beach chair and relax here to enjoy the leisure time in Hainan.

After the end, we returned to the Clearwater Bay Hotel, and a fulfilling day passed.

Driving distance: 135km

Note: Age requirement for Boundary Island: People over 70 years old are not allowed to enter the island

Day 5 Qingshui Bay → Nanhai Guanyin ★ Nanshan Cultural Park → Sanya International Airport ★ Disband in Sanya

All day

After breakfast, we bid farewell to the beautiful Qingshui Bay and headed to Nanshan Buddhist Cultural Garden.

Here, you'll find stone statues, including the 108-meter-tall Nanhai Guanyin Buddha statue, and Nanshan Temple, Hainan's largest Buddhist temple. At the southern tip of our country, we reverently bowed to the Buddha, circumambulated the Nanhai Guanyin statue, and posed for some beautiful photos.

Gather at the appropriate time and transfer to the airport depending on the tourists' return tickets. We will first send everyone to the airport and then disband in Sanya city!

For return flights or train tickets, please book flights after 16:00

Driving distance: 90km

Q: Will it be cold in Hainan in winter?

If a cold wave hits, the temperature in Sanya in winter will still be 16-18 degrees Celsius. Generally, it is between 22-28 degrees Celsius, which is very comfortable.

Boundary Island, located northeast of Lingshui County, Hainan Province, is a national AAAAA-level scenic spot. Its waters are crystal clear, with visibility reaching 5 to 10 meters. From shore, the waters can be divided into three distinct layers: turquoise, emerald green, and deep blue, making it a great diving spot. This is the boundary ridge between Wanning City and Lingshui County, and the boundary marker between the two counties stands on this ridge, earning it the nickname Boundary Island.

Qixianling, also known as Qizhiling, is named after its seven finger-shaped peaks. With its steep, natural cliffs, it's one of Hainan's famous mountains. Besides pristine tropical rainforests, it also boasts excellent hot springs. China-TravelNote has specially arranged a stay at the Qixianling Luxury Hot Spring Hotel, giving you a comfortable experience after your hike.

[Belcate Nut Valley] Betel Nut Valley gets its name from the betel nut valley stretching for several kilometers between the forested peaks on either side. The scenic area comprises seven cultural experience zones: the Intangible Cultural Heritage Village, Ganshili Village, Guyin Miao Village, Tianye Li Village, the large-scale live performance "Belcate Nut: Ancient Charm," the Orchid Cabin, and the Li and Miao Food Street. It boasts stunning scenery and is a "living fossil" of Hainan's ethnic culture.

Clear Water Bay: Its water quality meets national Class I marine standards, with visibility reaching up to 25 meters. The beach is flat, wading 200 meters away, and the water is only two meters deep, making it a natural bathing beach. The fine sand creates a clear, silvery "singing" sound when walking on it, earning it the nickname "Singing Beach."
