Are you crazy!! All these places with few people and beautiful scenery are really all in Hainan! I really love Hainan so much! Especially during the off-season, it's just too beautiful! For those visiting Hainan, don't miss the following unpopular spots with few people and beautiful scenery!!√ Wanning Xinqun Bay·Shanhai Langren A beach with few people and beautiful scenery, glass sea + reef sand beach, where you can overlook the entire bay! There are many photo spots, especially the hammock with the highest photo output rate, a casual snap is a masterpiece, it's very relaxing here! Shanqin Bay·Swallow Cave The magical black reef and rock cave are the unique signs of Shanqin Bay. The azure and clear sea water sparkles under the sunlight! The waves hitting the rocks make you feel like you can forgive the whole world in an instant! Qiaohai Ranch The ranch, which retains its original state, gives a feeling of man and nature! Although the environment is a bit dirty, it is very vibrant!

This beach is a wild attraction with no tickets. 🎫 There is no public transportation, so self-driving is recommended. The rocks on the beach are all black, like volcanic rocks. The black rocks and the blue sea 🌊 create a solemn atmosphere and make it unique. 😎😎🐋🐳🐬🐟🐠 There is a Swallow Cave here, which is also a great photo spot. Some people come here just for this cave. When we went there, the tide was low, and there was no water in the cave. If the sea 🌊 rises a little more and the waves hit the cave, it will look better. But it was still beautiful when I went there. 🥳🥳💗 ✅ Pros 1️⃣ No tickets 🎫, free wild attraction 2️⃣ Clear and transparent sea, the legendary glass sea 3️⃣ Unique black reefs, great for photos 📷 ❌ Cons 1️⃣ Local residents built toilets themselves, poor sanitation, CNY 1 per use 2️⃣ CNY 1 for washing sand off feet 3️⃣ No restaurants nearby, only stalls set up by local residents, relatively expensive. It is recommended to bring your own food or eat in the city. 4️⃣ Villagers organize sightseeing cars themselves, and the experience of soliciting customers is not good. Note ⚠️ When you are about to arrive, there is a fork in the road, and there is a sign for the Swallow Cave free parking lot on the side of the road. Don't park there. It is set up by villagers to make you take their sightseeing cars (for a fee). You must continue to drive to the Zhengmenling Bridge. Don't go on the bridge. Park on the side of the road at the bridgehead. Then decide whether you need to take a sightseeing car. CNY 15 per person for a round trip 🔁. The road down is not very far, but it is a steep slope. It is recommended that the elderly and children take a car down. 📍 Address: Sanqin Bay Swallow Cave

The Hainan Island Ring Road is 988.2 km long. The road is like a circle along the coastline, with majestic mountains and tropical rainforests on one side and the vast sea and sky on the other. It connects 12 coastal views and various tourist attractions on Hainan Island for the first time. The road connects different scenic areas, such as the sea, cliffs, wetlands, windmills, and coconut groves, showcasing the natural and cultural scenery of Hainan Island in all aspects.

Sun River Scenic Bridge On the Wanning Tourist Coastal Highway, you can see the beach surrounded by the sea on three sides from the bridge. The color of the sea is beautiful, and you can pick up shells on the beach. 🐚 Shanhai Langren An undeveloped niche bay with a kind of primitive beauty. Sitting under a tree by the sea, enjoying the breeze and swinging on a swing is very healing. Walk about 10 minutes to the top of the mountain, and you can overlook the whole bay from a rock. Shanqin Bay The black reefs on the beach have a small Icelandic feel, and the Swallow Cave is also a great place to take photos. Qiaohai Ranch The green grassland, together with the white geese and buffaloes, is as beautiful as an oil painting. 🖼️ It is recommended to come in the morning on a sunny day, as the photos will be better and the animals will be more energetic. Shimei Bay Beach There is an intersection under the big tree on the downhill of the sea-view pavilion where you can go down to the Shimei Bay Beach. The sea is very clear, the glass sea and the reef beach are very beautiful, and there is a very comfortable camp on the beach. Walk a few minutes forward to the Hard Bar Pink Bar. Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse The same lighthouse as in "Lost in the Stars". You can take a long shot by the tower wall to avoid the crowd. The coconut grove road to the lighthouse is beautiful, and you can rent an electric bike to ride around. Riyue Bay Coconut grove, sunshine, sea, beach, surfing 🏄‍♀️ There are many coffee shops facing the sea, and you can spend a leisurely afternoon in any of them. It is recommended to fly to Hainan! You can choose to enter and exit Sanya or Haikou according to the price of the air ticket (choose Meilan Station 🚄 to Sanya Station for the train ticket). 🛵 You can rent an electric bike at the hotel for short trips. Riding with your lover in the sea breeze at sunset is super cool (pay attention to safety and wear a helmet 🪖).

As a photographer, I admire natural environments, without the intervention of human design. This particular location in Wanning is hidden behind a local farming village. The local farmers predominantly grow green leaf vegetables but they also have betelnut and coconut trees. Next to the beach there is a temple facing the beach. As you stroll down the beach at low tide, the massive rock formations are unmissable. There are natural coves to walk through. I definitely recommend any photographer to this location! 📍Address: Shanqinwan, Wanning. 💰Average Price per Person: FREE 💞Reasons to Recommend: The perfect backdrop to portrait photography. 🏎 Getting there from Wanning train station is 41km, and 39 km from Qionghai station. #photolocation

The Shanqin Bay is located in the southeast bay of Wanning, Hainan. The scenery of Shanqin Bay is beautiful, with rugged rocks, howling sea breezes, and the sky and sea blending into one. On the long beach, there is a stretch of silvery white, and the sea water runs wildly with full of wildness. The sea's reefs are drunk with the waves, presenting a thousand postures. There is also the Swallow Cave, serene and mysterious. The most spectacular are the various forms of black reef rocks, which amaze everyone. This place is still to be developed, and everything is in its original state. 🏞 The mystery and excitement of the Swallow Cave are all caused by the sea. We often enjoy various forms of space in karst landscapes, but it is rare to see the sea carve a huge reef into a natural cave. The Swallow Cave is the most majestic reef in Shanqin Bay, about 20 meters high from the sea level to the top, and it is said to be the home of thousands of swallows. The cave is deep and mysterious, and it is very popular. 📍Address: Navigate to 'Shanqin Bay' to get there 🎫Ticket: Free🆓 Follow me to unlock Hainan tourism

Wanning Shanqin Bay Swallow Cave is my favorite spot when traveling in Wanning. ❤Reasons for recommendation: The sea is very blue and clear, it is a place where the sea in Hainan has a good performance in winter. (Everyone knows that the best time for domestic island travel is summer, the sea is blue in summer, and if you are lucky, you can see the jelly sea, but in winter, the performance of domestic sea water drops significantly) ⏳Play time: Best time: June to September, the photo was taken in November ⛰【Attraction Guide】 📍Detailed address: Shanqin Bay Swallow Cave 🚗Traffic strategy: Self-driving or taxi, less than an hour's drive from Wanning or Boao can reach the car can only be parked at the intersection, and then take the local ferry into (because the ring sea road into the scenic area has not been opened, so the locals blocked the road at the intersection). The ferry is 30 yuan/person, and you can bargain if there are many people, such as 100 for 4 people. The intersection is about 2.3 kilometers away from the scenic spot, you can also walk in, so you don't need to take the ferry. 🕙Opening hours: all day 💰Ticket price: free 🌟Highlights: Seaside cave, photo-taking spot 📌Small Tips: It is recommended to go when the tide is low, the waves in the Swallow Cave are very big when the tide is high, and if you are not careful when taking pictures, you may be swept away. 🛏【️Hotel Guide】 It is recommended to stay in Boao or Wanning, the Swallow Cave is located between the two.
