Want to check in at Hainan’s "Glass Sea"? Fenjiezhou Island is definitely worth adding to your list! This stay-and-play guide helps you avoid detours and fully immerse yourself in the island scenery. After reading, just set off~
1. Transportation Guide: 3 Easy Steps to Get to the Island
1. High-speed Rail First:
- From Sanya: Sanya Station → Lingshui Station, only 27 minutes. After exiting, take a taxi 15-20 minutes to Fenjiezhou Island Visitor Center.
- From Haikou: Meilan Station → Lingshui Station, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Then take a taxi to the visitor center.
2. Take the Ferry to the Island: Buy ferry tickets at the visitor center, and the boat ride takes about 15 minutes to reach Fenjiezhou Island. Feel the sea breeze and start your island journey.
2. Recommended Stay: 270-Degree Sea View Experience at the Sea Fishing Club
Highly recommend staying one night on the island! Choose Fenjiezhou Island Sea Fishing Club, just a few minutes’ walk from the dock, saving time and very convenient.
Highly recommended room type: Linhai Pavilion A7101:
- The room features a 270-degree unbeatable sea view, waking up to the vast blue ocean with maximum visual impact;
- The balcony allows direct fishing—rent a fishing rod on the island and enjoy the pleasure of "fishing facing the sea";
- After visitors leave in the evening, the whole island becomes especially quiet. Enjoy a drink on the balcony, watch the sunset slowly fall, and wait for the romantic "blue hour"—the experience far surpasses a day trip.
If you arrive early and the hotel is not ready for check-in, you can store your luggage for free in the lobby and explore the island light and free.
3. Must-Do Route: Follow the Stops, Don’t Waste a Minute
You can take the sightseeing shuttle on the island (stops: Departure Point → Dadongtian → Wind-moving Rock → Happy Hall → Yuefeng Pavilion → Visitor Center) or walk. The recommended order is:
1. Moonlight Castle: After arriving on the island, turn left at the "Fenjiezhou Island" sign, pass the colorful rainbow road, and at the end is the Roman-style Moonlight Castle. Standing in the square, you can shoot vintage-style photos and overlook the distant cliff sea view—great for photo ops.
2. Feed the Stingrays: Located between the shuttle departure point and Dadongtian stop by the beach, perfect for kids. Interact with the gentle stingrays, then take the shuttle to the next stop—convenient and on the way.
3. Dadongtian Stop: The core viewing spot of Fenjiezhou Island’s "Glass Sea"! The crystal-clear water looks like jelly, combined with coconut trees and white sandy beaches—every photo is a perfect island vacation vibe. There are also hot air balloons, a white church, Fenjie Book House, and other photo spots here, ideal for leisurely strolling and shooting.
4. Wind-moving Rock Stop: Home to the popular sea wooden house (currently only hotel guests can enter). You can also take photos from outside to capture the "sea cabin" vibe with full atmosphere.
5. Happy Hall Stop: After getting off, climb a small hill for 2-3 minutes to see the expansive coastline with excellent views—great for looking far and enjoying the sea breeze.
6. Yuefeng Pavilion Stop (Must Visit!): The most beautiful viewing spot on the island! Walk down from the cliff walkway to see the stunning scene of huge waves crashing against the rocks. The Decision Valley and viewing platform are here. After visiting, you can rest at the nearby coffee house. Hotel guests can enjoy a free cup of coffee—super thoughtful.
4. Food and Practical Tips
1. Island Food
Near the Sea Fishing Club is a concentrated food area with many options:
- Quick meals: burgers, fried chicken, noodles, coffee—great for quick energy boosts;
- Specialty dishes: local seafood, fried rice, stir-fried dishes—taste the flavors of Hainan;
- Supplies: The supermarket sells daily necessities, snacks, and drinking water, so no worries about supplies.
2. Travel Tips
- Weather choice: Be sure to pick a sunny day! The sea’s transparency is highest on sunny days, allowing you to see the stunning "Glass Sea." Overcast days affect the view.
