OMG, I actually found a Hobbit fairytale cottage by the beach in Wenchang!



Sisters!
This hidden gem of a city in Hainan, Wenchang,
is full of surprises!
Coconut groves, rocket launches, and seaside windmills were already amazing enough,
but I stumbled upon a beachside Hobbit cottage!
A fairytale come to life,
every snap feels like a scene straight out of *The Lord of the Rings*~🔥
Here’s your ultimate guide!

——
1️⃣🚗 **Transportation Guide**
**Flight + Train** ✈️
Fly to Haikou Meilan Airport → Transfer to Wenchang Station by train (30 mins, ¥20+).
**Self-Drive Rental** 🚗
Rent a car in Haikou and drive to Wenchang (~1 hour). Scattered attractions make driving super convenient.

——
2️⃣🏡 **Accommodation: Watch Rockets from Bed**
- **Hilton Wenchang**:
✅ Rocket-themed family rooms with balconies for front-row launch views 🚀
✅ 5-minute walk to Qishui Bay Beach—perfect for sunrise and tide-pooling!
- **Gaolong Bay Seaview B&Bs**:
As low as ¥150/person, with ocean views right outside your window!

——
3️⃣📸 **Photo Tips**:
Golden hour at 4 PM is magical! Wear a forest-style dress + straw hat, and bring a woven basket for extra charm~
📍 **Location**: Navigate to "Moon Bay Beach Parking Lot 🅿️", then walk uphill (opposite the sea) for 5 minutes—you’ll spot the Hobbit cottage halfway up!

——
4️⃣🌊 **Must-Visit Nearby Spots**
1. **Tonggu Ridge Sunrise** 🌄:
Hike to the summit by 6 AM! A 200m wild trail leads to the viewpoint (wear grippy shoes!) for a panoramic Moon Bay vista.
2. **Stone Park** 🪨:
Filming site for *Journey to the West*! Rugged reefs like an alien landscape. Heads-up: ¥30 entry + ¥30 round-trip shuttle (or a scorching 2km walk) ⛱️.
3. **Wen’nan Old Street** 📜:
Try ¥2/piece banana-leaf coconut cakes.
4. **Space Science Center** 🚀:
Touch real rocket debris! Capture golden-hour silhouettes of launch towers at 4 PM—geeky romance at its finest.

5️⃣🍜 **Wenchang Food Frenzy**
- **Pushi Town Zuo Bo Cu (fermented sour soup) + Sea Greens** 🌶️
- **Wenchang Chicken** 🐔
- **Old Dad Tea + Pandan Cake** 🍰

6️⃣❌ **Avoid**
- Scenic-area coconut rice (hard as bricks).
- Vacuum-packed chicken (freshly butchered from markets tastes way better).

——
7️⃣💡 **Pro Tips to Dodge Scams**
- 📌 **What to wear**: Skip flip-flops at Stone Park—volcanic rocks are treacherously slippery!
- 📌 **Tide-pooling**: Gaolong Bay at 6 PM low tide for moon clams 🐚 and coral treasures 💖.
- 📌 **Rocket launches**: Monthly events! Book Qishui Bay or B&B rooftops early for VIP views.
