Day 2 Haikou → Danzhou
All day
After breakfast, take photos of the abandoned shipyard in Haikou
At the mouth of the Nandu River on Xinbu Island lies an abandoned shipyard, housing several nearly completed vessels, some still unsheathed. It's clear these five vessels were nearing completion, but the sudden halt in construction has sealed their fate. The vicissitudes of heavy industry are vividly on display here, creating a stark contrast to the bustling real estate development nearby.
Then take photos of Haikou Qilou Old Street
This is a memory of Haikou's former prosperity. Most of these arcades were built in the early 20th century by returning overseas Chinese, drawing inspiration from the architectural styles of Southeast Asia. Many are adorned with elegant and detailed sculptures and Western-style decorations, lending them a distinct Baroque feel. Strolling and snapping photos through the alleyways, you'll discover that centuries have passed here, yet life continues with elegance and charm.
Photographing the sunset on the Eman Volcano Coast in Danzhou in the afternoon
This coastline was formed by the accumulation of volcanic material following a volcanic eruption one million years ago. Stretching four kilometers from north to south, with its highest point reaching 39 meters, the Eman Volcanic Coast reveals the landscape of multiple periods of volcanic eruptions and lava flows into the sea, including volcanic stratigraphic sections, lava flow tectonic relics, and paleontological remains.
Day 3 Danzhou → Changjiang
All day
Photographing the culture and sunrise of Baimajing Fishing Port in Yangpu in the morning
Baimajing Fishing Port is one of Hainan's renowned fishing ports. Local custom in Baimajing is that men undertake the high-risk sea fishing, while women handle shore-based work. This makes it a fishing port dominated by fisherwomen. In the early morning, the port is bustling with people. Fishing women, wearing conical hats and carrying flashlights and shoulder poles, carry boatloads of seafood from recently docked fishing boats to the port, where they buy, sell, and pack the catch. This bustling scene of labor is an excellent subject for a humanistic documentary. We departed in time for our stay at Qizi Bay in Changjiang.
Photographing the sunset at the Zhongjiao coast of Qizi Bay in the afternoon
Qizi Bay, a coastal spot in Changjiang Li Autonomous County, Hainan Province, boasts both gentle sandy beaches and craggy reefs, including uniquely shaped chess stones. Walking west from the middle corner to the end of the cape, you'll reach famous sights like "Junbi Corner" and "Couple Rock." At sunset, sit on the rocks that jut out into the sea at the middle corner to capture the most beautiful sunsets on Hainan's west coast.
Day 4 Changjiang → Ledong → Sanya
All day
Photographing the sunrise at Dajiao Coast in Qizi Bay in the morning

Timely photo shooting of the Yingge Salt Field in Ledong
Yinggehai Salt Field is the second largest salt field in China. Due to its unique geographical location, orderly channels and silvery salt fields, it looks like a snowy scene in the south from a distance.

All day
Photographing the sunrise at Yalong Bay coast in Sanya in the morning
Yalong Bay is known as "the best bay in the world". It has a mild climate and picturesque scenery. It has not only the blue sky, bright and warm sunshine, fresh and moist air, rolling green hills, calm bay, clear and transparent water, and white and fine sand beaches, but also makes Yalong Bay charming and dazzling.
Photographing the fish farms at Lingshui Xincun Port at noon
Legend has it that the Tanka people, who inhabit this area, have a history dating back hundreds of years. They live on boats, viewing the water as land, fishing for a living, and drifting between rivers and seas. Because they drift constantly at sea, vulnerable to storms and waves, their lives are as fragile as eggs, hence the name Tanka, also known as "sea gypsies."
Photographing the sunset at Lingshui Qingshui Bay in the afternoon
Qingshui Bay is located in southeastern Lingshui County, bordering Tufu Bay. It borders Sanya's Haitang Bay and Yalong Bay to the south and Nanwan Monkey Island to the north. Spanning the towns of Xincun and Yingzhou, its coastline stretches 12 kilometers. Qingshui Bay offers a little-known, pristine coastline. Its numerous, tall, and unique rock formations create a spectacular spectacle, with high waves year-round.
Day 6 Lingshui → Wanning
All day
Photographing the sunrise at the Lingshui Xiangshui Bay coast in the morning
Xiangshui Bay, located off the coast of Guangpo Town in eastern Lingshui, Hainan Province, gets its name from the spring waters flowing from Xiangshui Ridge into the bay. It's the northernmost bay in Lingshui County, approximately 12 kilometers long and mostly covered in pristine, silvery-white sand. The beach at Xiangshui Bay is flat, white, and the water is clear, making it less crowded. At sunrise, when the tide overflows the beach, it creates a reflection resembling a scene of the sky.
Timely photo shooting of Wanning Sun Moon Bay
Nestled between mountains and water, Sun Moon Bay is a crescent-shaped bay, surrounded by mountains to the north and bordering the South China Sea to the south. Its sandy beaches are white, soft, and the waters are crystal clear, with boulders and waves crashing through the sea. It's a renowned surfing destination both domestically and internationally. Feel free to capture the surfing action at Sun Moon Bay and its popular aerial photography spot, the iconic highway.
Photographing the sunset at the Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse in the afternoon
Located in Dong'ao Town, Wanning City, the Shenzhou Peninsula is bordered by Niubiaoling Mountain to the east, the Haochao South China Sea to the south, Laoyehai Harbor to the west, and Dong'ao Harbor to the north. The lighthouse here not only serves as a watchtower for the harbor but has also become a popular online destination for countless tourists due to its refreshing aesthetic. Against the backdrop of the azure sea, the red and white lighthouse is particularly refreshing.
Day 7 Wanning → Boao
All day
Photographing the sunrise at Dahuajiao Coast in the morning
Dahuajiao is formed by two mountain ranges, the Front and Back, with a canyon nearly 100 meters wide between them. The arched pebble beach, densely packed with pebbles, dominates the bay. Some are as big as a bowl, some as small as an egg, some round, some flat, each smooth and translucent. Glistening in the morning sun, they shimmer and shimmer, a dazzling display of blue, red, green, and yellow, a dazzling spectacle that is both captivating and captivating. On the other side of the mountain lies a sheltered bay, its soft sandy beach whispering to the gentle waves. Rows of small fishing boats bob along the shore. The two beaches, separated by a single mountain, are so distinct that one can't help but marvel at the wonders of nature.
Photographing the sunset on the Red Rock Beach coast in the afternoon
At the mouth of the Wanquan River in Boao, a cluster of reefs juts out from the beach. Because most of the rocks are pink, they're known as "Red Stone Beach." These red rocks, scattered across a range of about five to six hundred meters, are mostly long and narrow, rising evenly from the sea. Clusters and individual rocks stand tall against the silvery waves, weathering the daily tidal surges and the ravages of wind, sun, and rain, adorning the beautiful coastline. In the evening, the sea, bathed in the setting sun, shimmers in a golden hue. Slow-motion photography, like mist and smoke, surrounds the reefs, creating a fairyland-like scene.
Day 8 Boao → Haikou
All day
Photographing the sunrise at the coast of Shanqin Bay in the morning
Shanqin Bay's unique landscape is defined by its blue sea, yellow sand, and black reefs. The black reefs are a distinctive feature that distinguishes Shanqin Bay from other coastlines. Large and small reefs are scattered along the coastline, forming a myriad of shapes and forms. Swallow Cave, a narrow cave extending from the highlands of Shanqin Bay toward the sea, is named for the large number of swallows migrating south from the north in late autumn to nest and overwinter. From within the cave, the sea and sky merge into one, the sea and reefs creating a beautiful frame. The sunrise is breathtaking.

If you would like to continue your photography and sightseeing in Hainan, you can make your own arrangements.
