Lingshui’s ordeal is over, really don’t recommend coming in August

Babies! Those saying not to come to Lingshui in August must have been “tormented” into incoherence by its beauty~ Just got back from Lingshui, speaking responsibly: August in Lingshui has intense sunshine, but that sea, that greenery, that freshness, is so beautiful that people willingly “endure this ordeal”!

🌊 Must-visit scenic spots|August’s exclusive romance

• Wuzhizhou Island: The sea water in August is as clear as glass, with visibility nearly 10 meters! Snorkel alongside tropical fish, watch coral fluoresce under the sunlight, and in the evening take a sailboat to chase the sunset, with orange-red clouds spreading across the sea—your phone storage won’t be enough for all the photos📸

• Yetiangu Ancient Village: No need to fear the sun! The century-old coconut forest provides full shade, the Li ethnic brother’s coconut tree climbing show is thrilling and exciting, drink a freshly picked coconut water, sweet and refreshing to the heart, and you can also learn to weave Li brocade and make pottery, experiencing the joy of slowing down~

• Qingshui Bay: The “singing beach” lives up to its name! The sand grains in August are finer and softer, making a crunching sound when you step barefoot, and after the evening tide recedes, the mudflats reflect the vast sunset glow—every snap is wallpaper-worthy🌅

☀️ Weather & outfits|Comfortably enjoy the hot summer

• August weather: 30℃ - 35℃, the sun is scorching but the sea breeze is cool🌬️, occasional short thunderstorms, making it even fresher after rain!

• Outfit suggestions:
👙 Slip dresses, beach shorts + breathable sun-protective clothing, great for photos and sun protection;
👟 Flip-flops + water trekking shoes, perfect for wading waves and climbing mountains;
🧴 Anessa sunscreen + sun hat + arm sleeves, full physical sun protection, play with peace of mind!

🚗 Transportation guide|Travel freely without detours

• Plane✈️: Fly to Sanya Phoenix Airport, taxi 1 hour to Lingshui, enjoy coconut forest and sea views along the way;

• High-speed rail🚄: Direct to “Lingshui Station,” renting an electric scooter right outside is super convenient, ride around the bay enjoying the sea breeze, free and pleasant;

🍤 Food highlights|Eat seafood to your heart’s content in August

• Xincun Port fishing raft: Eat freshly caught seafood right on the raft! August’s Hele crabs are full of roe, mantis shrimp bursting with roe🦐, boiled with garlic sauce, so fresh you’ll lick your fingers, about 50 yuan per person to eat until full;

• Suanfen (sour rice noodles): The soul snack of Lingshui! Sour soup poured over chewy rice noodles, paired with seaweed, snail meat, dried beef, sour and spicy to whet your appetite, street stall bowls cost 5 yuan, perfect with fried shrimp cakes;

• Mango shaved ice: Freshly cut Taiwanese mangoes blended into a slush, dense and sweet, sprinkled with coconut flakes, one bite cools you down 10℃, a must-have summer cooler!

🏨 Accommodation recommendations|Fall asleep to the sound of waves

• Wyndham Qingshui Bay Hotel: Frontline sea view rooms, lie on the balcony watching the sunrise, 3-minute walk to the beach, hotel pool opens directly to the sea, full vacation vibe;

• Danjia Fishing Village Homestay: Stay in overwater wooden houses, fall asleep to the sound of waves, watch fishermen row small boats at dawn, experience authentic fishing village life~

✨ Hidden August activities|Locals’ secret spots

• Daidai Island: Few people, beautiful scenery! August’s coconut forest is denser, lie in a hammock staring at the sea or shoot a set of Instagram-style photos, you can have the whole beach to yourself;

• Nanwan Monkey Island: Take the cross-sea cable car for a panoramic view of the fishing rafts, monkeys are super lively in August, be careful not to get “photobombed” when feeding them🐒;

• Night squid fishing: Rent a small boat at dusk to go out to sea, catch squid by hand, grill and eat fresh, paired with cold beer—this is the real way to enjoy Lingshui!

Don’t believe the “don’t come to Lingshui in August” talk! The heat here is passion, the sun is a gift, every bite of freshness, every glance of blue, is worth coming to “endure this beautiful ordeal” for~ Babies, quickly save this guide, August in Lingshui is waiting to dazzle you so much you won’t want to leave!💖
