    Xidao Island is truly beautiful, and the islanders are very kind and honest. They even provided explanations along the way, pulling us on electric bikes to Niwangling. The ride up was free; they assured us we could explore the attractions without worry, and they would only charge us on the return trip.

    Staff were efficient, the views were beautiful, and there were plenty of nice photo spots.Only downside: the glass bridge was closed due to a fault.Still a very enjoyable visit overall.

    It's especially suitable for bringing kids, with lots of beautiful and seemingly expensive fish. Free hand-painting is available, and the mermaid show performers are amazing! 👍 Tickets are inexpensive; it's a shame to miss it when you're in Sanya. My baby had a great time.

    Taking my parents to experience the Sanya Romance Park was a great experience for seniors! The performances were rich in cultural content and went beyond mere entertainment. The park had many rest areas where family members could relax. My parents even learned a simple Li ethnic dance from the performers. The whole experience was filled with laughter and joy. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves and repeatedly praised the trip as excellent value for money, saying it was well worth the trip.

    The botanical garden was beautiful, and the guide, Mr. Zeng Qingyue, provided an excellent explanation, giving me a deeper understanding of tropical plants. The experience was very enriching, and the tea, perfume, and chocolate experiences were particularly enjoyable.

    This is my second visit to Monkey Island. I visited once many years ago, and the area that can be explored seems smaller than before. You can see many monkeys, and you can buy snacks to feed them, but for safety reasons, the park doesn't allow hand-to-hand feeding; you have to throw the food out. Besides that, there are circus performances and short films to watch, but these kinds of shows and movies are available in many other places. The highlight is the aerial cable car to and from Monkey Island, offering beautiful views of the Tanka fishing rafts, the Clearwater Bay seascape, and the Monkey Island forest. Important reminder: Many locals outside the park offer to take you into Monkey Island for 100 yuan. This doesn't actually get you into the main attraction; they'll take you to a part of the island outside the main area where you can feed the monkeys (hand-to-hand), but there are no other activities.

    1. R&F Ocean World is amazing! Plenty of rides with no queues, the mermaid show is stunning, the "Eye of the South China Sea" offers incredible views, and families and couples alike can have a blast! 2. I absolutely love this ocean park! Eight adorable animal enclosures, thrilling rides, and spectacular fireworks at night—a truly immersive experience, definitely worth visiting multiple times! 3. Lingshui Treasure Park! Over 30,000 marine creatures are incredibly soothing, the rides are suitable for all ages, the service is attentive, and the location is convenient. You could easily spend a whole day there and still not get bored. Highly recommended!

    When visiting any city, the quickest way to understand the local culture is to go to a museum. The Hainan Provincial Museum encompasses the culture of Hainan and even the South China Sea region, shipwreck history, various regional cultural histories of Hainan Province, and prehistoric artifacts from the South China Sea. During my visit, I even saw paintings by a Russian artist. It was definitely worth the trip. Admission is free; just make an online reservation in advance. The visit lasted approximately two hours.
