Exploring West Island, Sanya: Adventure & Prawn Crackers by the Sea

#discoverchina

A short boat ride from Sanya’s coast, West Island, is a hidden paradise where turquoise waters, local culture, and delicious seafood come together. I wandered into the island’s fishing village—where I discovered a must-try snack: freshly made prawn crackers.😍

Crispy, golden, and bursting with umami flavour, these crackers are made from locally caught shrimp, ground into a paste, and sun-dried before being deep-fried to perfection. Paired with a cold coconut drink, they were the perfect seaside treat after a day of adventure.🥥🥥

With the scent of the ocean in the air and the sound of fishing boats bobbing in the distance, West Island felt like a slice of Sanya’s authentic island life—both thrilling and delicious. Would you try these famous prawn crackers? 🍤🍤🍤
