Southern End of China | Hainan: A City Where You Don't Need Filters to Take Pictures

| Hainan: A City Where You Don't Need Filters to Take Pictures. 🌴 Hainan West Loop Self-Driving Guide: 6 Days of Personally Tested Niche Attractions, Fewer People, Beautiful Scenery, and Free!
What are the biggest fears of hard-working people? - Crowds, high prices, and spending money to suffer! Last year, I successfully avoided the crowds during the National Day holiday and took photos of my life on a wild beach on the east coast of Hainan. This year, I continued to explore the west loop during the May Day holiday. The west loop is really YYDS, satisfying fewer people, no consumer traps, and a one-time diversified tourism experience of beaches + volcanoes + rice fields + Li ethnic culture! 6 days and 5 nights of nanny-level guide + real shots, surprisingly unlocking the other side of Hainan!
