So far... the best city for family trips during summer vacation has appeared!

After bringing the kids to Hainan multiple times, I found that Lingshui is really worth a visit! Fewer people, beautiful scenery, no hassle for moms, and the cost 💰 is not high. Many free attractions allow kids to play all day, get close to small animals, feed stingrays, and enjoy the fun of beachcombing 🦀.

✅ Day 1: Qingshui Bay Lighthouse → lunch with delicious coconut chicken → coffee shop for afternoon tea → Longtouling Boardwalk → Qingshui Bay Beach for beachcombing 🌊
✔️ Morning: From Sanya to Lingshui, 16 minutes by high-speed train / 1 hour by car. Check in at the Whisper Hotel, rest a bit, then visit the Freedom Lighthouse 🗼
📍 [Navigation: Jianjian Coffee Shop] The lighthouse featured in the movie "Her" is a 500-meter walk to the lighthouse. There is a popular small train for 10💰/person and a rainbow road that is very photogenic.
✔️ Afternoon: After lunch, take a taxi for 10 minutes to [Coffee Cup Lounge] for afternoon tea and to entertain the kids. By the sea, there are mirrors, a bar counter, and sofa chairs perfect for photos 📷. The sand is very soft, and there is a small train at the entrance for kids to play.
✔️ Evening: [Navigation: Agile Sales Office] You can first play in the sand at Qingshui Bay. The sand 🏖️ here is very fine, and there are many photo props for check-ins. After the tide recedes, go to Longtouling Boardwalk for beachcombing, catch crabs 🦀, fish, and collect shells. When tired, go eat at Taiqiong Fermented Vinegar, which also offers baby meals.

✅ Day 2: Nanwan Monkey Island → Daidai Island beachcombing → Xincun Night Market
✔️ Morning: Navigate to [Lingshui Monkey Island Tourist Pier]. You need to take a boat.
Buy an 8💰 boat ticket to get free island access to see monkeys 🐒. You can buy bananas to feed them.
✔️ Noon: After feeding the monkeys, take a sightseeing car 🛺 to Daidai Island for 80r/person. Walk to the right to see a stunning coastline. There are many Instagram-style photo props here, including a pink beach 🏖️, pink bus, and Daidai coconut. There is a foot washing area after finishing.
✔️ Afternoon: Go to Xincun Night Market for dinner. Stalls open at 6 PM, offering various local specialties like Qingbuliang, grilled oysters, barbecue 🍖, and sour noodles.
