    The botanical garden boasts a wide variety of plants and offers free guided tours. Our guide, Mr. Sun, provided clear and informative explanations, helping us understand many common misconceptions about plants and allowing us to see many plants we don't usually see. We also learned about the taste of fruits we don't usually enjoy and even tried a type of pan-fried fruit bread we'd never tasted before.

    What impressed me most were the tropical plants here: cordyceps, cacao trees, Hainan pepper, morning glory, foxtail palm, and even false pineapple... It was truly an eye-opening experience!

    Wanning has many bays and capes, with Sun Moon Bay being renowned as a prime surfing spot. It's a popular spot for watersports, with everyone enjoying swimming, sailing, and windsurfing. 😅 For someone like me, I could only watch the action and splash around in the water. There are plenty of unique bars here, perfect for a drink or two, enjoying music and a drink by the sea at night. Great!

    It offers much more to do than Sanya. During the day there's paddleboarding and surfing, and at night there are bars, electric scooters, and walk along the coconut palm-lined avenue. You can also enjoy fireworks on the beach at night. The sea is also very clean.

    The water in Wanning is really amazing. It is so clear that you can see the bottom. I used to think that Sanya West Island was very good. This time, I listened to my friend's recommendation and went to Shimei Bay. I finally understood what a stunning view is. It is so beautiful.

    🌊Who knows! I actually stood up while surfing for the first time in my life!!! I used to think surfing was a "cool, out-of-reach sport" and I was afraid of falling and embarrassment. But today at [Sun Moon Bay Houlang Surf Club], I instantly earned an achievement—I stood up on the board after just three pushes from the instructor! I was so excited I wanted to do a somersault on the beach! 😭 When I first started practicing on the beach, I was a little uncoordinated. I practiced the stand-up routine several times, and completely forgot how to do it the first two times in the water. But the instructor was incredibly patient and constantly corrected my mistakes. On the third try, I heard the instructor yell, "Ready... Go!" I pushed off the board, and as soon as I planted my feet, I felt the wave push the board forward—the wind in my ears, the board floating on the waves, and I actually stood up! It only lasted a few seconds, but that feeling of "flying with the waves" was so exhilarating I wanted to scream! After that, I mostly just surfed to shore standing up.

    On the weekdays before National Day, only a few tourists visited, and the entire scenic area was quiet. Dongshanling, Hainan's highest mountain, is relatively low, taking about 40 minutes to an hour to ascend and about half an hour to descend. The scenic area once had a cable car, but it's now completely out of service. The tour bus can save you three-quarters of the climbing distance, and in good weather and comfortable conditions, you can easily climb up and down the mountain on your own.

    The scenery is beautiful, like a miniature savannah, with blue sky, white clouds, coconut trees and lawns, all captured in one picture. The animals in the water are also very cute. Recommended.

    It doesn't matter if you wear makeup or not. You can't see anything when you wear glasses. If you wear glasses too tight, your eyelashes will become a burden. You must do your hairline! You can ask the front desk lady to help you paint. Overall, it's good, but the air traffic control turned cloudy. The photos didn't turn out as good as expected. The instructor who took me flying took great handheld photos. The three parties can propose to interact in the air. It's better~ Because there is sand around, the driver should be prepared to wash the car

    Very good and reliable, the 60-foot boat is very big and new, with fruit drinks and KTV. It takes half an hour to go out and half an hour to come back, and stays on the water for 2 hours to play. The price-performance ratio is good
