Some advice from locals to those who are coming to Lingshui...
1⃣ Lingshui is really not big. If you come here for tourism, two or three days is enough🏖. Lingshui and Sanya Wanning are close to each other, so you can go there together and have a better experience👌.
2⃣ Lingshui has also developed in recent years. There are many people during the Chinese New Year and holidays. If you want to book a hotel, you should do it as early as possible, and don't wait until the price increases💸.
3⃣ The prices in Lingshui are not cheap, but compared to the popular Sanya, the prices are relatively reasonable💵. Fruits and seafood are still cheap, and you can bargain💰.
4⃣ However, the hotel development is still not as good as the hotel facilities in Sanya, and many aspects have not kept up. Sanya is still recommended for vacation🏨.
5⃣ If you stay in Lingshui, Qingshui Bay is really good👍. There are many hotels and homestays, and the transportation is convenient. There are also many shopping malls and food streets around, which are very convenient for shopping and eating🚗🛍.
6⃣ The beach in Qingshui Bay is really excellent, with clear water and fine sand. It is soft to step on the beach, and it can even be regarded as a big hit with Yalong Bay🏖🌊.
7⃣ The weather in Hainan is almost the same, and it is the same in Lingshui, Wanning and Sanya. It is sunny and hot, so you must do a good job of sun protection🌞☀.
8⃣ If you want to play in Lingshui, it is more recommended to take a taxi or rent a car. The car is easy to get, and the parking fee for renting a car is not expensive. It is better to rent a tram, which is more cost-effective🚗🛵.
9⃣ It is really recommended to play in Lingshui to catch the sea and pick up shells. It is not only exclusive to children, but also adults have fun playing, and the happiness gained is endless🐚🌊.
🔟 There are thousands of delicious foods in Lingshui. If you don’t go to Lizhu Hainan Private Crafts to eat Wenchang Chicken and Hongsha Food Stall to eat small bonito, you will miss the chance to pat your thighs until they are broken 🍗🦞!
⛱ Lingshui Super Travel Guide
1. A visit to Fenjiezhou Island is essential, experience the Rainbow Coastal Road 🌈, and go to the cliff swing 🍃. Sit down here and overlook the beauty of the entire bay 🌊. You can also go to the beach and feed manta rays 🐟.
2. It is recommended to go to Qingshui Bay Lighthouse 🗼 at 5 pm to watch the sunset 🌅. Enter from the intersection of the Whippers Hotel and you can directly reach the lighthouse.
3. Good places to go to the sea include Xincun Wharf ⚓, Monkey Island Wharf 🐒, Gangmenling 🏞️, Chiling, Xiaochiling and Longtouling 🐉.
4. Fuli Bay is not worth visiting, the road is short and there is no special scenery 🚫. The road signs for special check-ins are also worn out 🚏.
5. Please go to Xincun Night Market after 6 pm 🕕, if you arrive too early, the stalls may not be open 🛍️.
6. If you want to eat Hainanese cuisine, you can go to Lizhu Hainan Private Crafts. If you want to eat seafood, you can go to Hongsha Food Stall.

There won't be no one who comes to check in at the Mosha Lighthouse in Lingshui!
Many people don't know that taking photos at the Lingshui Freedom Lighthouse is very photogenic!
It is also the same Mosha Lighthouse as the movie She Disappeared
You can come at sunset, so that you won't be exposed to the sun and there are fewer people, so it's nice to take photos.
After visiting the lighthouse, you can go directly to Qingshui Bay Dongrong Global Food for a big meal
I suggest you try the Qiongzhou dregs vinegar! The soup base is thick and no water is added! It's sour and spicy enough, appetizing and delicious! This is a Hainan specialty, you must come and try it!
There is also coconut chicken! You must eat coconut chicken when you come to Hainan, the sweet coconut flavor is really different.

[Environment] The environment is clean!
The coconut chicken is very tender! With the fragrance of coconut
The price is also very reasonable! The signature dishes around the pot are also delicious!

The restaurant is very hygienic and clean. The only drawback is that the store is not big. The service is also good. I felt the enthusiasm as soon as I entered the door. The set meal discounts were patiently guided without rushing. After eating a meal, I felt that it was very good overall! The coconut rice is good and milky. The golden pomfret is fresh and delicious. It is very tender. The dregs vinegar is also good. The sour taste is very appetizing. With seafood and a bowl of soup, it is simply delicious😋
[Service] The service is warm and thoughtful, the waitress is also very kind, the service is warm and patient
[Taste] The taste is very special, / the taste is sour and spicy. The shrimp is very fresh, the soup base is very delicious, and the boiled Wenchang chicken is also very delicious.
[Environment] The environment is beautiful, very clean, simple and atmospheric. Very clean and tidy. I like the decoration style very much

I highly recommend this seafood restaurant. The seafood is absolutely fresh! There are a wide variety of seafood. The waiters are very enthusiastic and have been serving us. They are really considerate. I highly recommend their crabs. The crab meat is very tasty, soft and tender, with lots of fat. It tastes really good. It's so addictive that I ate it all in a short while. I highly recommend you to try it.
I really love their seafood. It's so delicious. There's a huge seafood pool right at the entrance. The seafood is all alive and kicking. The seafood doesn't smell fishy at all. The seafood is all very fresh and tender. Their white-cut chicken is really amazing. I didn't like chicken at all before, but after eating theirs, it's really amazing. It's super tender and so fragrant. I almost finished a whole one. You must order this. It's really good.

The hotel has complete facilities, a good environment and a good service attitude. The beach is in front, a 5-minute walk away, and the golf club is next to the hotel. This time I came just in time for the LGPA. The seafood Nine Axe steak and seafood big coffee downstairs are delicious. The hotel is in Qingshui Bay, far from the airport, about an hour's drive away. There are round-trip buses to the airport, but there are only five flights a day, and the last one to the airport is 17:40.
The service attitude is very good. The package selected for booking is cost-effective and takes the needs of babies into consideration.
[Environment] Quiet
[Service] Thoughtful and considerate

Because the hotel is not convenient to get around, the best choice here is to taste the hotel's food, so I recommend the food we have tried to everyone, hoping to spend a happy holiday life in Lingshui, Hainan, food, eat in Hainan! The hotel dishes are good in color, aroma, and taste, but they are relatively expensive, but it is important to have fun when you go out to play [smile][smile]
[Fried Wuzhishan Yellow Beef with Lantern Pepper] The beef is very tender, the ingredients come from Wuzhishan, and it is paired with Hainan's local lantern pepper, which is so delicious;
[Hainan Family Portrait] Local specialty dishes, basically a must-order dish for outsiders to Hainan, with rich side dishes;
[Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea] Seafood hodgepodge, with various abalone, oysters, shrimps, crabs, etc.;
The rest will not be introduced one by one, these are the ones that impressed me the most and I like the taste more!
The Chinese restaurant in the Marriott Resort Xiangshui Bay has a great environment, especially the seafood is very good and authentic. The hotel's preferential package is very cost-effective. It is worth praising that the attitude of the service staff is very good, which makes people feel very comfortable.

A friend searched for this restaurant online and saw good reviews, so we came straight over to try it out. The whole environment is quite spacious and comfortable. The proprietress also took the initiative to recommend a few dishes for us. The seafood is all caught and cooked right after, so it’s all very fresh, and the portions are big, so you’ll definitely be full!
Although the transportation here is inconvenient, the boss is very hospitable and drives back and forth. With such an attitude, the business will definitely be good.
The seafood is of high quality, tastes good, has a large portion, and is very fresh. I came here to eat for a while when I lived in Clearwater Bay!

The taste is good. The environment and service are also good.
Hey my dears, who understands? Only after visiting Lingshui did I understand what it means to "love you at first sight, but never return." This hidden corner of Hainan boasts a glassy sea that rivals the Maldives, soothing powder-soft beaches, and the magical experience of feeding manta rays... But it's so stunning, I'm afraid if I go back again, I'll never want to leave this paradise on earth! Today, I'm sharing all the treasures and "bitter lessons" I've uncovered in Lingshui. Get ready for this guide that's both a love and a hate story!
🌊[Those magical corners that haunt me]
Fenjiezhou Island
This is undoubtedly Lingshui's most beautiful spot! The water is as clear as a giant piece of turquoise glass, and the gradation from light to dark is breathtakingly beautiful. The island's "Ocean Theater" is a must-see. The clever dolphins and adorable sea lions perform with such soothing performances. You can even interact with manta rays up close and personal, hand-feeding them dried fish – the sensation is truly magical! For thrill seekers, try the cliff swings and zip lines. Overlooking the ocean from above is a thrilling experience, a thrilling mix of adrenaline and romance!
And the red and white lighthouse is the epitome of island charm. Just stop by and your Instagram account will be flooded with likes!
Qingshui Bay
It lives up to its reputation as a "singing beach"! The fine powder sand rustles underfoot, and you stroll barefoot on the beach, the waves gently lapping at your ankles. In the evening, watch the tangerine-pink sunset, and the world becomes a tranquil and beautiful place. It's much less crowded than Sanya, making it perfect for those who want to enjoy a quiet ocean view. Find a beachside cafe, order a drink, and spend the afternoon in a trance.
Nanwan Monkey Island
The cable car ride overlooking the Tanka fishing rafts and the ocean is a breathtaking sight! The monkeys on the island are lively and clever, but be sure to keep your food and belongings safe. Interacting with them is fun, but be careful not to be startled by their enthusiasm.
Daidai Island
This is a girly paradise! Colorful little houses, retro cars, and internet-famous swings...every corner is perfect for Instagram-worthy photos. The beach is clean and uncrowded, making it the perfect spot for a photoshoot in a beautiful dress, transporting you to a fairytale island.
🍤[An Island Feast for Your Taste]
Lingshui Sour Rice Noodles
A must-try Lingshui signature dish! The smooth rice noodles, rich in toppings, and the special sour sauce create a tangy and appetizing flavor. One bowl instantly awakens your taste buds and creates a unique Lingshui experience.
Hele Crab
One of Hainan's four famous dishes, this crab meat is plump and sweet. Whether steamed or stir-fried with spicy spices, it's a must-try for crab lovers.
Tanka Seafood
Enjoy fresh and affordable seafood on the Tanka fishing rafts near Nanwan Monkey Island! Freshly caught, cooked fish, shrimp, crab, and shellfish are cooked authentically, ensuring you can savor the most authentic seafood.
📍[Practical Tips from "Tears and Bitterness"]
1. Regarding Costs: Lingshui has many high-end hotels and restaurants, and prices are quite high, especially in scenic areas like Fenjiezhou Island. So, budget-friendly options are recommended. Alternatively, you can find affordable B&Bs and local eateries like I did, allowing you to experience the local culture while saving a little money.
2. Regarding Transportation: Lingshui is conveniently located with both an airport and a high-speed rail station. Taxis are also readily available within the city, but for scenic spots, it's recommended to plan your route in advance or rent a car for more flexibility and enjoy the island scenery along the way. 3. About the Season: November to April is the best time to visit, with sunny weather and little rain, and the water is clearer. However, this is also peak tourist season, so prices and crowds are likely to rise. May to October is off-season, with fewer people and lower prices, but typhoons and heavy rain are possible, so each has its pros and cons.
4. About Going to the Sea: Be sure to check the tide table beforehand, otherwise you'll likely return empty-handed. Going to the area near Xincun Port is a good option. Remember to bring tools and a bucket. With a bit of luck, you might find plenty of shells and crabs—a truly immersive experience!
My dears, Lingshui's beauty is breathtaking. Its sea, its sand, and its charming scenery all make you want to stay. But precisely because it's so beautiful, I hesitate to go back easily, fearing I'll become even more attached to it. But if you haven't been to Lingshui yet, I highly recommend putting it on your travel list to experience the awe of the glassy sea and the slow pace of island life.
