I've suffered in Lingshui, so sisters who want to go should be cautious

In May, the sun kisses the beach, the waves sing love songs, and the coconut wind carries the fragrance of tropical fruits in Lingshui. This treasure coast hidden in Hainan has both the poetry of coconut groves and blue sea, and the warmth of fishing village fireworks✨. This 2-day guide will take you to unlock the "blue" and "slow" of Lingshui~ Itinerary: Day 1 Coastal Secret Exploration Morning: Break into the fairy tale of the glass sea • 8:30 Arrive at "Boundary Island" Take a boat to the island, and the first thing you see is the jelly-colored sea🌊! Go straight to the "Ocean Theater" to watch the dolphin show🐬, and then check in at the "Sky Realm" viewing platform. The transparent swing on the cliff seems to be suspended between the sea and the sky. The photos are so beautiful that they are suffocating📸! • 11:00 Experience water carnival Snorkeling🤿, banana boat🚤, and parasailing are all optional! You can also play "Coral Reef Diving" even if you can't swim. Watch tropical fish swim through the coral bushes up close. The underwater world is super healing~ Noon: • Lunch at the "Seafood Restaurant" on the island Recommended "Coconut Rice" 🥥 (glutinous rice inlaid with coconut fragrance), "Hele Crab" 🦀 (spicy and fresh), with a cup of Qingbuliang, instantly restores blood~ Afternoon: Explore the niche paradise of "Daidai Island" • 13:30 Take a boat to Daidai Island A treasure island with few people and beautiful scenery! Colored fishing boats, swings, and Balinese-style thatched huts are scattered on the beach. Just sit down and take a vacation blockbuster🌴. Hold your lover's hand and stroll along "Lover's Cliff", watch the waves and listen to the sea say I love you~ • 15:30 Encounter cute creatures on "Nanwan Monkey Island" Take the cable car🚡 to overlook the Danjia fishing rafts. The macaques on the island are lively and naughty. Remember to hide your mobile phones and glasses! Watch the cute monkeys ride bicycles and shoot baskets in the "Monkey Theater", which is full of laughter~ Evening: The fireworks of Danjia fishing rafts • 18:30 Go to "Dongrong Global Food Plaza" Now pick fresh seafood for processing, recommended "Salt and Pepper Mantis Shrimp" and "Garlic Oysters", with ice-cold beer🍻! There are often Li ethnic song and dance performances in the square, which is super atmospheric while eating and watching~ Itinerary: Day 2 Fishing Village Slow Life + Coconut Grove Secret Realm Morning: Immersive experience of Danjia culture • 8:30 Visit "Xincun Fishing Port" Take a fishing boat🚢 through the sea fishing rafts, watch fishermen repair fishing nets and sort seafood, and feel the fireworks of "Venice on the Sea". Spend 10 yuan to buy a bag of freshly caught mango snails, which are so fresh and sweet that you stomp your feet~ • 10:30 Explore the "Danjia Museum" Learn about the history of the Dan people who "take the sea as their home". The museum displays fish lanterns, fishing gear, and you can also experience weaving by hand. It is a must-see for parents and children👨👩👧. Noon: • Lunch at "Danjia Seafood Stall" Sit by the sea and eat "Lingshui Sour Noodles" 🍜 (sour and appetizing, with super-sufficient ingredients), "Steamed Grouper", watch the fishing boats return to the port, and the time is just right~ Afternoon: Healing time in the depths of the coconut grove • 13:30 "Coconut Island" cycling around the island Rent an electric car🛵 and break into the uninhabited coconut grove. On both sides of the dirt road are towering coconut trees. The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, and you can take the same scene as "Summer Tea" with a casual shot~ • 15:30 "Clearwater Bay" catches the sea and picks up shells When the tide is low, carry a small bucket to pick up crabs and shells🐚, and step on the sand barefoot on the "Singing Beach". The fine white flour-like beach really makes a "squeak" sound~ Evening: Houhai Chao Yin · Tipsy Time • 18:30 "Clearwater Bay Night Market" shopping and eating Grilled oysters, pickled vegetables, coconut milk Qingbuliang... One-stop check-in for Hainan snacks! Recommended "Coconut Rolls" 🥥 (glutinous rice wrapped in coconut shreds and peanut crumbs, fragrant and sweet but not greasy), and then buy a "Coconut Jelly" to suck while walking~ Food Red List: Local people's private collection list✅ • Lingshui Sour Noodles: The old store "Lingshui Renjia" must try, sour soup + sandworms + peanuts, the soul combination! • Pickled Vegetable Hot Pot: Spicy and sour soup base with seafood, recommended "A Jun Pickled Vegetables", 60 yuan per person to eat to your heart's content~ • Coconut Rice Bun: Glutinous rice balls wrapped in leaves, the filling contains coconut shreds, peanuts, and brown sugar, with a refreshing fragrance~ • Mango Fried Ice: Freshly cut mango + crushed ice, sweet and moisturizing to relieve the heat, a must-have in summer🍧! Thunder Avoidance Guide: The price of "Tropical Fruit Platter" in scenic spots is high. It is recommended to go to the local market to buy whole fruits, which is more cost-effective~ Accommodation recommendation: Gentle sleep by the sea • "Raffles Hotel": The first choice for luxury vacations, private beach + coconut grove swimming pool, the room leads directly to the beach, the sunrise is absolutely beautiful🌅. • "Clearwater Bay Homestay": A cost-effective choice, recommended "Blue and White Town" style homestay, 5 minutes walk to the beach, suitable for family/girlfriends👭. Travel Tips⚠️ 1. Sun protection equipment: The ultraviolet rays in May are super strong🌞, sunglasses🕶️, sunscreen (SPF50+), sunscreen clothing, and wide-brimmed hats are essential! 2. Transportation suggestion: Renting a car for self-driving is the most convenient🚗, the driving distance between scenic spots is 15-30 minutes; Boundary Island/Monkey Island needs to take a boat, those who are prone to seasickness should prepare motion sickness medicine. 3. Catching the sea timing: Check the "Lingshui Tide Table" in advance, 2 hours before low tide is the best time to catch the sea~ 4. Respect customs: Obtain the fishermen's consent before taking pictures in the fishing village to avoid disturbing their daily work~ The romance of Lingshui is hidden in every wave, every coconut leaf, and every bite of sweet and sour tropical fruit✨. Come here in May, hand yourself over to the sea, let the sea breeze take away all the fatigue, leaving only the beautiful memories of summer~🌊
