Live update! Everyone thought I went to Bali, but it was actually Lingshui... — traveler post in Qionghai

Live update! Everyone thought I went to Bali, but it was actually Lingshui...

Spent two days in Lingshui and finally understood what "uncrowded and beautiful" means 😭 Fishing boats in Chiling, little monkeys in Huling 🐒 Coastal roads so beautiful you won't want to step on the gas... No tickets required for the whole trip, everything is free!! ✅ Compiled my favorite travel route, just follow it~ Stop 1: Chiling An unspoiled little fishing village with almost no tourists. Colorful fishing boats are parked on the beach. At sunset, the light hits the boats like an oil painting. Any live photo you take looks great 📷 Stop 2: Clearwater Bay Red and white lighthouse with fine white sand; it actually squeaks when you step on it!! The sand is so fine lol~ Uncrowded and photogenic. Walk to the side and you'll find a large lawn and Longtou Ridge. Climb the wooden boardwalk to overlook the entire Clearwater Bay coastline. Locals also come here for beachcombing. Stop 3: Huling Black reefs with deep blue water. Drive to the end and you'll find the viewpoint. The water is super clean, like a glass sea, and very few people know about it! There are also many little monkeys 🐒 you can feed. Stop 4: Shuikou Bridge Feels even more beautiful than the ones in Wanning or Sanya. Standing on the bridge overlooking the coastline, the sand spit and Coconut Island are so pretty!! It's also a great place for paddleboarding. Stop 5: Xiangshui Bay Coastal Road Lingshui's version of the most beautiful road, with several consecutive S-curves, rocky coastlines, and coconut groves. Go on a sunny day; the blue sea is absolutely stunning. Stop 6: Tinglan Coast Yellow thatched huts with the sea and coconut groves; it's so comfortable I didn't want to leave. Or head to Lian'an Sea Turtle Town; walk to the end of the pink sightseeing path and you'll reach the beach. Stop 7: Awen Surfing Right by the roadside in Xiangshui Bay. It's very close to Riyuewan but much quieter!! There's a coconut swing, and the sunset glow here is especially beautiful. About food: 🥥 Qiongxi Restaurant: Authentic Hainan cuisine. The coconut-baked Wenchang chicken is amazing! Their sweet soup is also very authentic. 🍲 Taiqiong Zaopo Vinegar Hot Pot: A Hainan specialty sour soup 🍲, celebrity-approved. It's tangy and appetizing. I was amazed the first time I tried it. Zaopo vinegar hot pot with seafood is incredible. Have some Qingbuliang after the meal to cleanse the palate. 🦞 No. 87 Fishing Boat Seafood Stall: A seafood stall recommended by locals! Seafood is caught and cooked fresh. They also have stir-fries with "wok hei." They offer both light and bold flavors, making it suitable for families with kids. 🦆 Hupo Vanilla Duck: Braised with vanilla herbs, the sauce is flavorful, and the meat is firm but not dry! Their stir-fried ice is also amazing. 🥥 Dedia Coconut Chicken: The coconut chicken hot pot I eat every time I come to Lingshui! Using 3 coconuts as the soup base to cook Wenchang chicken is truly amazing, fresh, tender, and sweet! I order the black truffle chicken oil rice and shaved ice every time; they disappear the moment they hit the table~ ✅ You can fly directly to Haikou, Sanya, or Qionghai. Rent a car 🚗 upon arrival and drive along the coastal road; it's beginner-friendly. ✅ It only takes half an hour to get to Lingshui from Wanning or Sanya. ✅ Lingshui is quiet and off the beaten path. It's not crowded even during summer vacation, making it perfect for taking kids beachcombing.

🏮 Cai Family Ancient Residences, Nan’an | A Living Gallery of Minnan Architecture — traveler post in Qionghai

🏮 Cai Family Ancient Residences, Nan’an | A Living Gallery of Minnan Architecture

Across the landscape of southern Fujian, clusters of red-brick ancestral houses shine like jewels scattered across the earth. Step into any one of these traditional homes, and you step into a story — a story of family heritage, craftsmanship and the enduring spirit of Minnan culture. Some ancient residences have been carefully preserved, their courtyards neat and orderly, their traditional features still speaking eloquently of another era. Intricate wood carvings, delicate stonework, decorative brick carvings and vivid clay sculptures bring the buildings to life, revealing the artistry and imagination of generations of craftsmen. The Cai Family Ancient Residences in Nan’an, Quanzhou, are a remarkable example. Often described as a grand showcase of Minnan architecture, this historic residential complex offers a glimpse into the region’s architectural richness, where practical living spaces are transformed into works of art. Here, every carved beam, decorated wall and traditional courtyard seems to hold a fragment of the past. The red-brick façades glow warmly in the light, while the exquisite details invite visitors to slow down and look a little closer. These ancient houses are more than beautiful buildings. They are storytellers in brick and timber, preserving the cultural memory of southern Fujian one intricate detail at a time. 📍 Location: Cai Family Ancient Residences, Nan’an, Quanzhou, Fujian, China 🇨🇳 📸 Photography Tip: Capture the contrast between the red-brick walls and ornate carvings. Look for doorways, courtyards and decorative rooflines to create layered compositions that reveal the depth of Minnan architectural design. ✨ Signature Feeling: Discovering how generations of craftsmanship have turned traditional homes into enduring works of art. In Minnan, the walls are made of brick and stone, but the stories they preserve are timeless.

A relaxing getaway: This fairytale forest just 3 hours from Chengdu is stunning~ — traveler post in Qionghai

A relaxing getaway: This fairytale forest just 3 hours from Chengdu is stunning~

I visited Labahe last Mid-Autumn Festival, and my social media feed blew up with questions when I got back💥. So many friends asked for my itinerary that I've put together a complete 2-day, 1-night guide for this year. If you want to avoid the crowds during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, just follow this plan! 📝 2-day, 1-night itinerary ▫️ Day 1 | Deep dive into the highlights of the West Line After entering the scenic area, take the sightseeing bus directly to the West Line and dedicate your prime time to this core landscape. 🎫 Jiaoshan Cable Car + Jiaoshan Plank Road It is recommended to start early to avoid the crowds. Ride the cable car through the primeval forest; if you're lucky, you might encounter an endless sea of clouds☁️, with mist flowing between the mountains, creating an incredible atmosphere. Hike slowly up the Jiaoshan Plank Road to reach the Heart-shaped Lake at an altitude of 3,800m. Surrounded by mountains, this alpine lake offers vast, expansive views—every photo is a masterpiece. The summit is high, windy, and cold, so be sure to bring a thick, windproof jacket. 🏡 Fairytale forest cabin Head deep into Red Stone Beach, where an eco-friendly log cabin is hidden among the mountains and forests. Surrounded by lush trees, it feels like stepping into a Nordic fairytale, making it perfect for portraits. 🔴 Red Stone Beach Valley Patches of vibrant red rocks cover the valley floor, with clear streams rushing between the stones. This area has a high probability of wildlife sightings. Stand quietly, and you might encounter sambar deer or Tibetan macaques. Remember: do not feed the animals; keep your distance and observe quietly. The West Line combines alpine cloud seas, primeval forests, and red stone streams. No need to rush—take your time to explore and take photos, and immerse yourself in the mountain scenery. Stay at the Blue Crystal Hotel in the scenic area for the night. ▫️ Day 2 | Relaxing and casual East Line Focus on relaxation—no need to wake up early to rush your itinerary. Stroll along the Bishuiwan Plank Road, walk along the stream to get some fresh air, and soak in the greenery of the forest. After a meal, you can wander around Yezhou Island and spend a leisurely morning. Stay near the hotel, and you might see deer—it's truly healing🦌. After exploring, you can head back to Chengdu. 💡 Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day travel tips ▪️ Clothing: The temperature difference at the West Line summit is significant, so bring a windproof jacket and wear non-slip hiking shoes ▪️ Tickets: It is recommended to buy admission tickets, sightseeing bus tickets, and cable car tickets online in advance to reduce queuing ▪️ Animals: Please do not feed wild animals; keep your distance and observe quietly 🍁 Labahe autumn foliage preview Scattered yellow and red leaves are already appearing in the forest, and autumn is quietly beginning to arrive✨ By late autumn, the entire valley will slowly lose its green, and the mountains will be covered in layers of red and yellow foliage. Combined with the clear valley, flowing sea of clouds, and deer roaming in the forest, the atmosphere is incredible.

A breathtaking ocean view from the clouds | Enjoy unobstructed views of Sanya Bay and its vibrant nighttime cityscape. For those seeking a relaxing vacation in Sanya without the hassle of traveling to Haitang Bay or Yalong Bay, Sanya Bay is the perfect destination.

A Feast for the Eyes | Boasting Unobstructed Sanya Bay Sea Views and Nighttime Neon Lights If you're looking for a relaxing vacation in Sanya without the hassle of traveling to Haitang Bay or Yalong Bay, the Four Points by Sheraton Sanya Bay is an excellent choice. I specifically booked a high-floor ocean view room, and the view was breathtaking from the moment I entered. Large floor-to-ceiling windows opened directly onto the balcony, with no buildings obstructing the view. The entire Sanya Bay stretched out before me. During the day, I could sit on the sofa and quietly watch the sea, with cargo ships slowly passing by. The sea breeze drifted into the room through the open windows, allowing me to enjoy a leisurely afternoon without even leaving the room. As evening fell, the four iconic shell-shaped buildings on Phoenix Island lit up with a soft blue light, their reflections shimmering on the water. Lying in bed, I could enjoy the entire city skyline at night – a tranquil sea view amidst the bustling city, creating a truly immersive atmosphere. The hotel's public areas were meticulously maintained, with layers of tropical coconut palms providing a welcome respite from the noise. The outdoor swimming pool on the first floor was cleverly designed. The blue pool bottom is patterned, and lounge chairs and pavilions are set up along the shore. As evening falls, the lights illuminate the pool, making it shimmer. Swimming and relaxing under the coconut trees, with the sea breeze blowing, is incredibly pleasant and relaxing. The lush gardens offer stunning Southeast Asian resort photos; even spending a whole day at the hotel won't feel boring. The hotel's rooftop afternoon tea is a must-try. Sitting in the high-rise observation deck, enjoy exquisite tea and pastries while gazing at the boundless seascape. The azure sea and sky are before you, and the coastline stretches into the distance. Avoiding the midday sun, slowly sipping tea and chatting with the sea breeze, every snapshot is a healing seascape masterpiece. Perfect for a girls' getaway or a romantic date. Dining is no problem at all. The island night market restaurant on the first floor offers high-quality food with a wide variety of dishes. Local Hainan snacks from Qionghai, Hainan black pork knuckle with layered noodles, Qionghai coconut milk dessert, and Qionghai fermented chicken vine are all available, all incredibly fresh. Enjoy local specialties on summer nights while listening to live music – a truly delightful dining experience. The hotel offers convenient access to amenities without even leaving the premises, making it incredibly convenient for lazy vacationers. Regarding the location, the hotel's facilities are truly impeccable. It's just across the street from the Coconut Dream Promenade beach, a short walk from the beach for watching the sunset. It's also very convenient to reach major shopping districts, the First Market, and Jiefang Road in the city. Want to eat seafood or stroll through the night market? It's just a short drive away. It boasts unobstructed sea views while maintaining easy access to the city, perfectly balancing a relaxing retreat with a vibrant atmosphere. The hotel rooms are about to be renovated and upgraded, ensuring even greater comfort. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the bathrooms are clean and tidy. It's suitable for business trips or short family stays, avoiding the hassle of long journeys to remote bay areas. Open your window to the sea and night views. Downstairs are the pool, restaurants, and afternoon tea options, and the beach and city are just steps away. If your Sanya trip is primarily relaxing, you prefer sea views and night views, and you want convenient access, the Four Points by Sheraton Sanya Bay Resort is definitely a high-quality, reliable choice for city accommodation.

Window of World Tropical Fruits

The park is very well-built and clean. It offers a rich variety of attractions and fruit trees, including many tropical fruit trees I've never seen before in China. Visiting during the right season to see the trees bearing fruit is truly breathtaking. It's suitable for families with children, as it features not only plants but also animals and play equipment for kids. Prices within the park are reasonable. Definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended.

Permanent Venue of the Boao Forum for Asia

I went there because of its reputation. You can see the exterior and go inside for a tour, but it's just a meeting room, so the tour was quick. Inside the meeting room, staff members take photos at designated spots, and you can also take your own photos. They were very friendly! Thumbs up! The surrounding area has the Wanquan River and a golf course; it's beautiful to walk around in!

Hainan Baishiling Tourism Scenic Area

The environment is great, the air is fresh, and the scenery is beautiful. You can easily take the cable car up and down the mountain and enjoy the scenery. The glass slide is suitable for all ages. If you're not planning on any adventure activities, two or three hours is enough to have fun.

There are drinking fountains inside, and the air conditioning is quite strong, so you may want to bring a light jacket. It's definitely worth a visit for a deeper understanding of the South China Sea and shipwrecks.

Boao Sea Skydiving Base

Beautiful sunrise skydiving, another item on my life wish list has been completed! We were originally scheduled to jump on the 15th, but it rained a little in the afternoon, so we changed it to the next day. The base lady told us on the evening of the 15th that we could jump at sunrise on the 16th, and we could pick us up at the hotel in the early morning. I really wanted to know if there was such a good thing! The coaching team was very interesting, they would create an atmosphere on the plane, and they could also communicate with the third-party photographers about the content of the photos (the original video was included in the third-party package, and the editing and photos needed to be purchased separately). I am very grateful to my coach Liu Yang and photographer Mike. The first skydiving experience in my life was super great. I saw the sunrise and got a set of life photos.
