Phantom Sea Maze City, Haihua Island Night Never Ends

Phantom Sea Maze City, Haihua Island Night Never Ends

Danzhou Haihua Island, this Oriental Dubai built with billions of investment, features three artificial flowers blooming on Hainan's west coast. However, due to developer controversies and its remote location, it has become the most mysterious and controversial place in Hainan.

Avoid the crowded Spring Festival and choose to self-drive or take the high-speed train to Baima Well Station during the off-season, then head straight to No.1 Island Euro Castle Hotel—this "people's five-star castle" accommodates 5,000 rooms at a price of just hundreds of yuan. The spiral staircase and golden lion statues have become a paradise for middle-aged and elderly photographers, naturally adding an absurd aesthetic filter.

Highlights:

1. "Post-apocalyptic Style Street" Night Photography: After dark, the No.1 Island’s Southeast Asian and European mixed street district lights up brilliantly but is sparsely populated. Neon lights reflect the sky like a cyber wasteland, and casual phone shots can capture sci-fi blockbusters;
2. Secret Tide Pool Adventure: On the wild beach outside the No.3 Island Palm Garden Villa area after the tide recedes, catch crabs and pick up starfish in the reef crevices, avoiding tourists to enjoy a private coastline;
3. Off-peak Water Fun Tips: Summer-only Children’s World Water Kingdom, choose to enter at dusk for an exclusive experience with the snow mountain rafting river and 6,000㎡ wave pool;
4. Li Ethnic Cuisine Journey: Taste Danzhou rice porridge and fresh red fish at the No.2 Island market, and enjoy homemade bamboo tube rice in guesthouse kitchens. Watch the sunset over the sea from the balcony at dinner time, with an average cost of only 50 yuan per person, experiencing local food culture.

Tips: Off-season (May to September) guesthouse prices drop to as low as 1,000 yuan/month. Self-driving visitors can park at the central parking lot and transfer to a free shuttle train; the light show runs twice every night, and it’s best to secure a viewing spot early at the church square.
