🏄‍♀️Super fun water activities

Houhai is a beginner’s surfing paradise! There are plenty of affordable surfing courses on Trip.com, with professional one-on-one coaching for just over 200 yuan per person. We recommend “Shaka Surfing,” where the coach is patient and humorous. You can learn to stand on the board in 2 hours, and the feeling of riding the waves is incredibly stress-relieving! If surfing isn’t your thing, you can also try banana boats or jet skis to get your adrenaline pumping.

🍤Taste of the fishing village

- Sister Lin’s Fragrant Seafood: A local old shop open for 15 years, their spicy crab and garlic vermicelli steamed scallops are so fresh they’ll blow your mind. Follow Trip.com’s top notes to order without missing out!
- Fishing Village Fried Chicken: Freshly fried golden chicken wings, crispy outside and tender inside, paired with sweet and sour sauce. Sitting by the sea in the afternoon, munching on fried chicken and sipping coconut water—that’s what a vacation should feel like!
- Fermented Rice Vinegar Hotpot: A sour and spicy Hainan specialty hotpot. Dip seafood, Wenchang chicken, and vegetables in it, and the broth is so delicious you’ll drink it all! We recommend “Taiqiong Fermented Rice Vinegar.”
