Yudai Beach

📍Hainan Boao Jade Belt Beach, a place worth coming to feel the magic. The Jade Belt Beach is a naturally formed, narrow and long sandy peninsula. On one side is the vast South China Sea, and on the other is the quietly flowing Wanquan River. The convergence of river and sea creates a unique painting. The sand here is fine and soft, leaving footprints with every step, and the sea and sky blend into one color, making it unforgettable. On the beach, you can see many locals fishing, envying their slow-paced life. There are also local villagers renting out beach motorcycles for a drive on the beach, allowing you to experience the unique natural beauty. On the island, you can find many places to cool off, such as the coconut stalls run by some of the local women. In addition to coconuts, there are various tropical fruits, such as fresh and delicious mangoes and pineapples. These fruits are incredibly sweet. If you bring a drone, remember to take it with you. The aerial footage from a bird's-eye view must be very beautiful.

Such a sea, when you look around the whole country, is quite an explosive presence! I couldn't stop thinking about the milky sea since the first time I saw it until I saw it with my own eyes, and then I realized: The beach formed by coral fragments turns into this sea, which is not only a milky sea but also a coral sea Sitting under the coconut trees, feeling the sea-salt breeze, and gazing at the endless blue of the sea and sky... The indescribable comfort satisfies all my fantasies about the sea When you go to Hainan, don't miss this off-the-beaten-path and interesting beach! Otherwise, you'll really miss out! Meng Caiyuan, located about 1.5h drive from Haikou on the Hainan Island Ring Road Fly to Haikou Meilan Airport, then take the high-speed train for 0.5h to Qionghai Station, and then rent a car or take a taxi for 0.5h to Meng Caiyuan Best photography time: 13-16 o'clock Besides the milky sea, Qionghai's beauty is abundant and completely underrated as a seaside town. The cost of living is low, there's no need to jostle with crowds, and you can enjoy the coconut breeze, the blue sea and sky, go sea foraging, and pick up shells, which is super fun! 2-day trip itinerary: D1 Tanmen Fishing Port/Paigang Village Xiajiao Village Meng Caiyuan Port (sunset, sea foraging) D2 Red Stone Beach·The Story of the Sea Mazu Temple Boao Forum for Asia Venue Yudai Beach→Departure I've been to Hainan many times, and I sincerely suggest that everyone can transfer through Haikou no matter which city you're visiting. Flights to Haikou are much cheaper, and Meilan Airport has a high-speed train station right below it, which is very convenient. Hotel recommendation: √ I often get asked about transfer hotels, and this time I stayed at a fantastic hotel in Haikou, Huiting Yunju Hotel, which is about a ten-minute drive from the airport and offers shuttle service at any time √ The rooms are clean and comfortable, with ultrasonic mite removal for the bedding, instant hot water dispensers, coffee machines, and the provided toiletries are also of high quality, even I, who am obsessed with details, kept exclaiming how great it was~ √ What surprised me even more was that the hotel has a rich experience area, with calligraphy, painting, a gym, an infinity pool, a children's playground, and more, all free to enjoy upon staying. Outdoor paddle boarding, camping, and sunset bar with fantastic views are also available! √ The rooms are equipped with exquisite amenities such as Ormon washing products, Lai Fen hairdryers, Silk Lian mattresses, and instant hot water dispensers! This time during the transfer, I spent half a day at the hotel! The immersive experience, the vacation relaxation vibe was maxed out, and I didn't want to leave at all! I'll definitely come back to Haikou~ Highly, highly recommended! Address: B2, Shili Chunfeng, Yunlong Town, Qiongshan District, Haikou City

Hainan has a seaside town that rivals Sanya in its ocean views, offers affordable seafood, and yet is almost devoid of tourists; it is Qionghai. ✅Route: Meng Caiyuan ➡ Tanmen Fishing Port ➡ Paigang Village ➡ South China Sea Museum ➡ Red Stone Beach ➡ Boao Forum (Jade Belt Beach/Duty-Free Shop) ➡ The Story of the Sea ✔Meng Caiyuan: Here you can see the clean and clear glass sea, and cars can even drive to the beach for camping. ✔Tanmen Fishing Port: The seafood market at the end of Tanmen Port is said to be the place with the best value for seafood in all of Hainan. We chose green crabs, shrimp, abalone, snails, and fish that day, and it cost less than 200💰 (there are places nearby for processing), a price you wouldn't dare to imagine in Sanya. ✔Paigang Village (can be located to the diving and fishing experience base) Paigang Village's beach was one of the filming locations for 'The Band's Visit'. The beach has a seawall leading to the ocean, featuring the 'Anywhere Door' of the seaside, the same check-in spot as the TV series a lighthouse, a pink boat, and various photo props. The open-door sea view photo spot is very photogenic. The beach is clean and fine, suitable for lazing around. ✔South China Sea Museum (🕑9:00-17:00) A national first-class museum, free admission, official WeChat reservation required in advance. It is divided into north and south buildings, with three floors in total. There are 10 exhibition halls, with themes including human history, natural ecology, maritime relics, and salvage archaeology technology. The design of the exhibition halls and the digitalized displays are very thoughtful and beautiful. ✔Red Stone Beach: The stones here are red, and the sea is quite ordinary. We went there because we heard that you can watch the coconut palm sunset, and the sunset is indeed beautiful. ✔The Story of the Sea The Story of the Sea is a seafood bar with a large venue, all made from abandoned fishing boats. The seaside dining tables and viewing platforms are truly beautiful, with a view at every step! There are many old houses with South Asian charm nearby, as well as seaside cafes, and the path to the sea has a very quaint feel. Highly recommended!! 🏨Accommodation Recommendations 1. Qionghai Wusuo Guizhi Homestay (Paigang No.1 Store) Building B 2. Qionghai Tanmen Fishing Port Lianhai Inn 🍣About Food ✔Jiangpin Mixed Grains: Enjoy a fully green 'colorful' dessert afternoon tea feast ✔Qiaoniang: Highly recommend the fruit Qingbuliang, durian thousand-layer ice, and mango intestine rice rolls, which are all delicious, though the pickled powder is average ✔Go to Mei Yi Xian/Return to Taste Chicken Soup Shop for a meal of coconut chicken🥥 (great value for money)
