[2024 Wanning Stay] Travel Guide for Riyuewan Legend Hotel (Updated Nov)
The first time staying in such a comfortable hotel in Wanning
Wanning!! Riyue Bay!! This hotel is already next level.
The first time staying in such a comfortable hotel in Wanning, I must show off.
A newly opened standalone villa in 2024, near Riyue Bay, with an outdoor infinity pool that is perfect for photos.
As expected from a designer homestay! It's so comfortable to stay! Super photogenic!!
For those planning to visit Wanning in July and August to avoid the peak season, just go for it with your eyes closed.
The location of the homestay is very convenient, within walking distance to the beach. It also provides a free shuttle bus to and from nearby villages and the beach. You can also ride a small electric scooter by yourself, making it easy to travel around.
The design of the homestay is amazing, giving a Santorini vibe. There are so many outdoor pools that you can't count them on one hand, so there's no need to worry about overcrowding. It's great for taking photos, and they even offer complimentary travel photography. The photographer has a great aesthetic, definitely worth it!!
The host is very thoughtful and occasionally organizes beach activities such as beach yoga, sunset barbecues, and high-altitude fireworks. These little surprises are quite unexpected.
The breakfast is also very exquisite, mainly Western-style, and can be delivered to your room. During sunset, you can also have a drink on the balcony, living like a fairy.

Wanning's most photogenic spot for travel photography—the Riyuewan Chapel
📍Detailed address:
Hainan Wanning Sun and Moon Bay Rongchuang Riyuewan Liji Town Riri Island Community East Side
⏳Playtime:
Less than an hour including photo-taking
🚉Transportation strategy:
Riri Island in Rongchuang Sun and Moon Bay is a large residential area, but many buildings are unfinished, and most of them are used as hotel apartments. There are few parking spots when driving onto the island, and the overnight parking fee is 20. You need to call in advance to find a housekeeper to take you to the chapel with a sightseeing tour car.
🌟Highlights:
The chapel is located next to the building king community that was developed on Riri Island at that time. Unfortunately, the surrounding high-rise buildings are unfinished, making this chapel an unmanaged small building. However, the white spire chapel has a simple and artistic exterior design, with a very sophisticated sense of beauty. On a sunny day, the unique azure blue sky, the calm sea in the background, and the lush green lawn on the ground make every casual shot a masterpiece. Therefore, it rightfully became a popular spot for internet celebrities, with various influencers recommending it. Many travel photographers gather around the chapel to take orders on the spot, and the price is negotiable. Usually, staying at the Riri Island hotel comes with 2 free photos, and then additional photos you like are 15 yuan each. The photographer I booked was really skilled, good at capturing candid shots, and made the subjects look very lively with just the right color tone. I heard that the TV series 'Summer Flowers' was filmed here. Driving all the way to Wanning, I couldn't help but marvel at the beautiful scenery and good weather of Hainan Island, no wonder it has become a popular filming location. The front angle of the chapel is the most beautiful, but I forgot to take pictures of it. Although it's a niche place with not much entertainment, I would still recommend it to friends who like photography.

Come to the most loved hotel in Wanning!!
💓The most anticipated part of the whole trip is staying at this hotel, we took a taxi directly from Sanya!
💓When we arrived, the room was still being cleaned, so we ordered some food in the hotel restaurant, which is also very beautiful, and there are many dishes
💓When I entered my room, I was amazed, it's like a dream room! French-style decoration, the bed is also very big, there is a tatami swing outside the door, and a lounge chair, the swimming pool is very beautiful
💓The only downside is that a piece of the bathroom ceiling is broken, and the fountain ⛲️ next to the room's swimming pool is broken, it doesn't spray water🐳, but it's not a big problem!
💓After taking pictures in the hotel, we took a taxi to Riyue Bay, my boyfriend went surfing🌊, 80💰, no time limit, 180💰 can bring a coach
💓To sum up, the room is very beautiful, will come again next time!

Wanning Riyue Bay, Hainan.
📍Legend Hotel, Riyue Bay, Wanning, Hainan
Free photo shoot with check-in. The photo shoot is held in the hotel. You'll receive 5 free unedited photos. Additional photos are CNY30 each. I selected 15 photos for a total of CNY300. The photos were edited on the spot.
Makeup and clothing are not included. You'll need to prepare them yourself. The photographer is experienced and will guide you on how to pose and express emotions. The overall effect is good. For those who don't like taking photos, you can have a photo shoot in the hotel without going out. The photo shoot takes about 20 minutes. You can select photos and post them on your Moments. It's quite straightforward.
There are more and more routines in the photography circle. The business model of "try before you buy" is also a win-win situation. Some customers in the same store also selected 5 free photos and left. It mainly depends on personal needs.
Compared with the same makeup and posture in indoor scenes, such as horse riding, I personally think that outdoor scenes are more memorable.

The last few photos were taken by myself at Wanning Qiao Sea Ranch and the beach. The sun was shining brightly. I was dressed in Mori style.

South of France style! Garden swimming pool! This legendary hotel truly lives up to its name
South of France style! Garden swimming pool! This legendary hotel truly lives up to its name.
Visiting Hainan, Wanning is the place to be! It's a charming scenery: coconut groves swaying, sea and sky blending into one, blue sky and white clouds like a magnificent oil painting, tranquil and beautiful; the sunshine sprinkling on the body, warm and comfortable; the waves gently patting the shore, like a melodious serenade, singing the tenderness of the years. Everything is so pleasant and beautiful~
The hotel is very close to Riyue Bay, just a 20-minute drive away. It is also close to places like Fenjiezhou Island, Shimei Bay, and Shenzhou Peninsula, which are great for food and fun, highly recommended for tourists to stay here.
The exterior of the hotel is a majestic European castle style, with pure white buildings paired with arched doorways, and even every eave and column is carved with exquisite patterns, blending the island's Chill with neoclassicism, and large green lawns planted with towering tropical plants.
Near the hotel, there is also a super dreamy seaside church, which has become a scenic spot in Wanning Riyue Bay! Standing solemnly on the lawn, with the vast coastline behind it, the sharp architectural lines create a spire shape, simply a piece of architectural art.
The room decor also exudes a full sense of relaxed vacation! Mostly using wooden furniture, feeling the natural wind from the retro solid wood ceiling fan. The walnut-colored cabinets, benches in front of the bed, and wooden beds also exude the healing atmosphere of the island. In the Coconut Mirror Audio Big Bed Room, many modern design elements are also integrated. In the bedroom area, a whole wall of high saturation blue-green contrasts sharply with the walnut color, and the orange transparent bathtub in the bathroom area is also full of personality, really cool!

Wanning | Sun and Moon Bay Church by Sunac
This place is too beautiful, great for taking photos 🥰
-
Fairies, when you come to Sun and Moon Bay, you must take photos at the church here, it's so photogenic, I suggest wearing a flowing long dress, with the sea breeze blowing, the hem fluttering, so beautiful 💃🏻
-
🔆🔆🔆 I heard this is where Jerry Yan's 'Summer Flower' was filmed, and the sunrise photos taken by other bloggers look so good, but it was raining in the morning when we came, so we didn't have the chance to take sunrise photos. Later when we came back to shoot, it just turned from cloudy to sunny. The weather here at Sun and Moon Bay usually clears up after a while when it rains, so remember to wear sunscreen, everyone~
-
The place is open for free, you don't need to stay at the hotel to go in and take photos, but there are many people taking wedding photos, so you have to queue up for the church. The distant view photos taken here look like big movie shots, so beautiful

The Wanning seaside church is so beautiful that it leaves you speechless
Wanning has a seaside church on an island. Relying on Riyue Bay, Sunac has built the artificial islands of Sun and Moon, and this white church is located in the open area of Sun Island. It stands solemnly on the lawn, with the magnificent coastline and long embankment behind it. At the moment when dawn and dusk intertwine, the entire church seems to merge with the sea
⛪️
Living next to the Eden Garden Wedding Church is one of the rare memories in Wanning, with coconut groves, lawns, swimming pools, churches, waves, and long embankments, as if the script for summer has been written for you, waiting for you to start an endless summer.
Newlyweds in wedding dresses embrace in the church, backpackers hold coconuts on the embankment watching the sea🥥, people go there during the blues hour, watching the sky transition to boundless night, waiting for the church lights to turn on, with the sea breeze carrying wishes🌌
To surf in Riyue Bay, I chose to stay at the Wanning Riyue Bay Legend Hotel, which is only a three-minute walk from the seaside church, and just off the island is the Coconut Grove Road and the core surfing area of Riyue Bay🏄
The whole hotel presents a French Colmar style design, with the hard decoration replicating the charm of southern France. Passing through the lobby leads directly to the backyard manor-style lawn, and the poolside rooms on the first floor allow for direct access to the swimming pool🏊
🏨: Wanning Riyue Bay Legend Hotel
Room Type: Deluxe Garden View King Room
Calendar Room Rate: 723 RMB/night
The soft decoration carries the retro longing entrusted by the host. Passing through the long Versailles-style corridor, the rooms on the second floor are a bit more tranquil. The rooms have large viewing balconies and independent bathtubs, spacious enough to freely lay out all luggage🛁
Tips
-Previously, entering the island required checking accommodation qualifications, but now it has gradually opened to the public
-The hotel is 20 minutes from the Shenzhou high-speed train station, and is far from Wanning Station, Shimei Bay, and Shenzhou Peninsula

Hainan Wanning | Do you know where to go in Hainan during the Spring Festival?
"Don't harm each other, white gulls and cranes fill the beach."
This is why I came to Wanning.
When I saw the beach in the evening, I thought of a poem. One line goes like this: "The higher the floor, the wider the view, the sound of the waves crosses the sea and pillows the beach."
Beach | Heat wave | Sunshine | Photography
Looking around, there are palm trees and soft beaches everywhere
It's a haven for many young people to escape the cold winter
