Day 2 Sanya → Yanoda → Li'an Fishing Village
·morning
In the morning we set off for the Yanoda Rainforest Cultural Tourism Area.
Yanoda is a place that integrates a variety of tourist resources such as tropical rainforest, canyon wonders, flowing springs and cascading waterfalls, Lidong customs, tropical fruits, southern medicine, hot springs, etc. It is the only tropical rainforest in China located at 18 degrees north latitude. It is a concentration of the five major tropical rainforests of Hainan Island and can be called China's diamond-level rainforest scenic spot.
We'll join a rainforest hike here, following our guide through the rainforest and into its heart, admiring its wonders and rare plants. This is a truly unforgettable experience, allowing you to experience nature's green wonders. Next, we'll step into the waterfalls, weaving through cascading waterfalls and springs, exploring the breathtaking scenery of the mountains and rivers. Led by our instructor, we'll brave the turbulent waters and ascend the stream.
·afternoon
Afterwards we drove to a small fishing village by the sea.
Here, the vast, deep blue sea reigns supreme. A rich fishing village culture remains, and the local fishermen lead a vibrant and colorful life. Visitors can witness the fishermen's daily activities, such as fishing and shelling, and savor a feast of fresh, delicious seafood. Join the locals as they gather shells at sunset—we're sure to find a bountiful harvest.
Special note: Sea catching is significantly affected by the tide. We will adjust the order of play according to the low tide of the day. If we cannot catch sea catching due to strong winds or high tides, we will adjust to visit Monkey Island to see the monkeys and check in at the Tanka fish farm.
Overnight at Lingshui Hotel.

In the morning we set off for Coconut Island in due course.
This is an island that has been visited by many celebrities. Pu Shu, Gao Yuanyuan and Mango TV have all had filming projects here. Let’s start our paddleboard adventure here!
Paddling through the coconut groves, we instantly journeyed through the pristine Amazon rainforest, a mysterious and fascinating experience. Our instructor used drones and other equipment to capture stunning photos, leaving us with lasting memories of our paddleboarding adventure.
Afterwards, we had a simple lunch at the local restaurant and then headed back to Sanya Xiaoqi Port West Island Pier to take a ferry to West Island (the journey took 15-20 minutes).
