Day 1 Various locations → Sanya★Meeting day in Sanya
All day
Today is the gathering day. After arriving at Sanya Airport or Sanya High-speed Railway, our driver will pick you up and take you to the hotel for check-in according to your flight/high-speed rail time (usually check-in after 14:00)
After checking in, the day is free for leisure. No car service is required. Early arrivals can head to Sanya First Market on their own, offering a wide variety of fresh, affordable seafood. Surrounded by countless seafood processing shops, you can also sample Hainan's signature snacks, such as Hainan noodles and coconut milk qingbuliang.
If you prefer a quiet atmosphere, you can go to the beach to feel the sea breeze and listen to the whispers of the waves. The night in Sanya is also unique.
Day 2 Sanya → Binglang Valley → Yanoda → Stay at Qixianling
All day
This morning at 8 o'clock, after breakfast, the driver will be waiting in the hotel lobby, and we will get in the car and set off.
Let’s start our journey from south to north - Hainan.
About an hour later, we arrived at the Binglang Valley Scenic Area. Nestled among a sea of over 10,000 graceful and elegant betel nut trees, nestled in a tropical rainforest of towering ancient trees and intertwined vines, it's a living fossil of Hainan's ethnic culture. Here, you'll see traditional Li boat-shaped houses, traditional craft displays, and centenarians with facial tattoos weaving Li brocade. You can raise your thumbs to your chest and say "Bolong," the Li way of greeting. Avoid a cursory tour of the scenic area and delve deeper into Li culture.
After lunch, we'll continue to the Yanoda Scenic Area, a tropical rainforest located at 18 degrees north latitude in my country. Here, we'll witness unique plant life wonders found nowhere else, including "Strangling Forest Pythons," "Aerial Flower Baskets," "Flowers on Old Stems," "Bloody Throat," and "Climbing Vines." Three ways to explore the area are available: by land, water, and air. One is a walking tour; one is a waterfall walk (at your own expense; must be under 55 years old and at least 1.2 meters tall, subject to scenic area opening hours); and the other is a zipline ride (at your own expense; must weigh 60-180 kilograms, subject to scenic area opening hours).
Passing through the dense rainforest, majestic banyan trees, and a variety of unprecedented tropical plants, it feels like entering a mysterious alien planet! From here, you can enjoy the stunning panoramic views of Haitang Bay's coastline and the islands. The scenic area also offers a variety of popular attractions, including cliff swings, a glass viewing platform, and a pet park.
After the event, we headed to Qixianling. According to legend, Qixianling is the place where seven fairies descended to earth. It is 1,107 meters above sea level and is named after the seven finger-shaped peaks. It was so comfortable to sleep in this primeval forest surrounded by lush greenery.
We'll be staying at the Qixianling Hot Spring Hotel, one of Hainan's best hot springs. Surrounded by lush greenery, the air is filled with high concentrations of negative oxygen ions. A soak in the hot springs is a truly exciting experience after a tiring journey!
Day 3 Qixianling → Fenjiezhou Island → Check in Boao
All day
After waking up, have breakfast and head to the island!
Fenjiezhou Island retains its pristine natural beauty. Take a cruise to this beautiful, isolated island floating in the South China Sea. The waters here change from transparent to turquoise to blue, blending seamlessly into the sky. The sandy beaches are soft and white, making this Hainan island ideal for diving and viewing marine life.
The natural resources and recreational activities here (participation at your own expense, such as surfing and diving) are also rich, enough to keep you entertained for most of the day.
We will stay at the Boao Hotel in the evening. The very stylish bar along the coast is the Story of the Sea, which is a must-visit. There are coral stones, dock lights, old boat benches, and an old fisherman. There are coffee, fine wine, and Southeast Asian cuisine, which interprets a different island nightlife.
Day 4 Boao → Feng Xiaogang Film Commune → Crater Geological Park → Haikou
All day
This morning at 8:00 am, after breakfast, we set off and arrived at our first attraction of the day, the Feng Xiaogang Film Commune 1942 Youth Scenic Area, about two hours later (our itinerary only went to the 1942 Youth Scenic Area). Here, we experienced the youthful years of "Youth" and everything in Feng's films seemed within reach. Of course, if you enjoy taking photos and your flight schedule is not tight or you're staying in Haikou, you can also visit other scenic spots in the Film Commune (entrance fees are at your own expense).
After a photo-taking spree, we headed to the Haikou Crater Geopark, one of the few dormant volcanic clusters in China still active (dating back 10,000 years), encompassing 101 volcanoes. Here, we'll admire the diverse lava landscapes and learn about volcanoes. The park also boasts Haikou's highest point, at 222.8 meters, offering panoramic views of downtown Haikou and the Qiongzhou Strait.
Gather at the appropriate time and transfer to Haikou Airport or downtown depending on the tourists' return tickets!
