Title: 5 Days and 4 Nights in Hainan
I Stayed in the "Maldives of China"! Relaxing for Just Over 2000 RMB Per Person, the Hidden Island on Day 4 Was So Beautiful It Should Be Reported…

You think Hainan is just about Sanya Duty-Free Shops and crowds?
Wrong! I just got back from Hainan, 5 days and 4 nights,
basking in the sun, walking on fine sand, drinking freshly picked coconuts,
and even sneaked into a glassy sea that you can’t find on any map—
at that moment, I suspected I had wandered onto the set of "Life of Pi."

Day 1: Arrive in Sanya, the first breath of air tastes sweet
As soon as the plane lands, a wave of heat hits you, but it’s not stuffy!
Hainan’s heat is the warm sunshine on your skin,
After dropping off my luggage, I headed straight to Yalong Bay—
the sand here is as white as flour, walking barefoot feels like stepping on cotton!
I ordered an iced young coconut at a seaside café and stared at the waves for an hour,
not checking my phone once, anxiety instantly vanished.

At night, I checked out the First Market night market:
Recommended: Hejie Fried Ice, Aju Seafood Processing, Qingbuliang!
Spent 80 RMB on a tropical feast, sweating from the spice is the real thrill!

Day 2: Wuzhizhou Island day trip, the water is so blue it looks photoshopped
Don’t listen to people saying it’s "over-commercialized,"
as long as you get there early at 7:30 for the first batch,
the whole island is your private swimming pool!

✅ Must-do:
Snorkeling (280 RMB/person) — clownfish swimming right by your face, colorful coral;
Houhai Village surfing (90 RMB/session) — even beginners can stand up, super patient instructors;
Electric island tour car (138 RMB) — drive to "Sunrise Rock," photos will blow up your social feed!

⚠️ Warning: Food on the island is expensive! Bring your own snacks and water.

Day 3: Wenchang’s hidden secret revealed! 99% of people haven’t been to this sea
It took me three days to find this treasure—Wenchang Mulan Bay!
Navigate to "Tongguling," climb to the mountaintop viewing platform,
and suddenly an emerald sea bursts into view,
the beach curves perfectly, like God drew it with a ruler!

In the afternoon, I rode an electric scooter through the coconut groves at Dongjiao Coconut Forest,
every snap looks like a filter from the movie "Love in a Puff."
Stayed at a local guesthouse at night, the owner treated me to freshly caught grouper, so fresh my tongue tied!

Day 4: Wanning Riyue Bay + Shenzhou Peninsula, surfing & cliff sea views are legendary
Woke up and went straight to Riyue Bay to learn surfing!
No need to go to Hawaii, the waves here are steady, and the coach teaches you hand-in-hand,
I fell 8 times, but stood up on the 9th and surfed 10 meters—moved to tears on the spot!

In the afternoon, moved to Shenzhou Peninsula,
walked along the coastal trail to the "Lighthouse,"
blue sea and sky on the left, rugged reefs on the right,
the breeze made me feel like a movie protagonist.

Day 5: Wrapping up in Haikou, Qilou Old Street + Dad’s Tea, full of local life
On the last day, slowed down and strolled through Qilou Old Street.
Nanyang-style architecture + graffiti walls + creative shops,
a cup of "Undersea Coconut" milk tea for 10 RMB, sweet but not cloying.

Experience local tea culture at a tea house with Dad’s Tea:
shrimp dumplings, egg tarts, sticky rice chicken, quail eggs stewed with meat,
a pot of tea plus a pile of snacks, 25 RMB per person and you’ll be stuffed.

💰Cost reference (excluding airfare):
Accommodation: 4 nights ≈ 800 RMB (3 nights in Sanya + 1 night in Wenchang)
Food: 80 RMB/day, 400 RMB for 5 days
Tickets + transport + activities: about 900 RMB
Total: around 2000-2300 RMB per person, easy and stress-free vacation!

Hainan isn’t just the "overcrowded Sanya,"
if you’re willing to slow down, it will give you—
sunshine, sea breeze, and the long-lost freedom.
