Hainan is more than just Sanya! Check out this AAAAA island.

🌈Highlights: Fenjiezhou Island sits on the Wanning Lingshui dividing line. What's even more amazing is that it has two distinct climates: one side boasts a northern climate, while the other enjoys a southern climate. Experience two climates on one island! 🚗Getting There: Fenjiezhou Island is located in the southeast sea area of Lingshui Li Autonomous County, Hainan Province, about 60 km from Sanya and 180 km from Haikou. To reach the island, you need to arrive at the Fenjiezhou Island Wharf and take a 15-minute boat ride. Driving: Navigate to the "Fenjiezhou Island" scenic spot wharf. The parking lot is free, making it ideal for flexible itineraries. High-speed Rail: Take the high-speed rail to Lingshui Station, then take a taxi for about 15 minutes to reach the wharf. Alternatively, take a long-distance bus from Sanya/Haikou to Lingshui and transfer to a local bus. Ferry Tickets: Admission tickets include round-trip ferry tickets and sightseeing bus rides. It is recommended to purchase tickets online in advance (approx. CNY 159/person). Staying at the island's hotel grants free admission. 👍️Must-See Attractions: 1. Moonlight Castle This ancient Roman-style seaside building complex, complete with sea swings and cliffside views, is particularly romantic at sunrise and sunset. It's recommended to visit early in the morning or in the evening to avoid crowds. 2. Maritime Lighthouse This lighthouse, reminiscent of those in Studio Ghibli films, stands by the wharf. Its blue and white hues contrast beautifully with the blue sea, making it the first check-in spot upon arrival. 3. Dadongtian and Fengdongshi The first stop on the sightseeing bus, "Dadongtian," features popular hot air balloons and a white chapel. The second stop, "Fengdongshi," offers a bird's-eye view of the cliffside wooden houses and is perfect for capturing stunning cliff and sea views. 4. Devil Ray Interactive Beach Get up close and personal with gentle devil rays at the beach on the right side of the island (open at 9:30 am, 1:00 pm, etc.). A must-try experience for family trips. However, it's not ideal in winter due to cold water, fewer fish, and larger crowds. 5. Diving and the Underwater World Known as the "best diving spot in Sanya," the island boasts exceptionally clear waters, abundant coral reefs, and tropical fish. Try cliff diving and shipwreck exploration. There's also an underwater replica of an ancient village, complete with underwater Buddha statues and coffins. It's truly thrilling! 6. Marine Animal Shows and Fish Feeding Activities Highly recommended for families traveling with children. Get up close and feed dolphins🐬, sea turtles 🐢, and sharks🦈. I brought my two-year-old, and they had a blast feeding the fish. They even learned to recognize grouper and pompano. 🚩Tips for Avoiding Queues: Avoid peak hours: For day trips, it's recommended to arrive before 8:30 am and prioritize taking the sightseeing bus around the island (4 stops in total), then walk to Moonlight Castle. Island Stay Advantage: While the island's hotel facilities are older, you can enjoy the tranquility of early mornings and evenings, and visit popular attractions (like Yuefeng Pavilion and Dadongtian) before the crowds arrive the next day. Activity Reservations: Water activities (such as fishing and jet skiing) are best enjoyed in the morning as crowds increase in the afternoon. Purchase diving packages in advance to save money. 💗Other Tips: 1. Accommodation Recommendation: The only overwater bungalow hotel on the island, while older and with less-than-ideal service, offers stunning sea views right outside your window and the opportunity to listen to the waves and stargaze at night. It offers decent value for the price. 2. Dining Experience: Dining options on the island are pricey and the food is average. Try the island's seafood stalls, especially coconut chicken and Lingshui sour noodles. Light meals are expensive, so consider bringing your own snacks. 3. Sun Protection and Environmental Awareness: The tropical sun is intense, so bring high-SPF sunscreen and a hat. Protect the coral reefs by not touching marine life. 4. Hidden Gem: Hike the island's trail (approx. 4 km) to explore the volcanic landscape and tropical rainforest, and perhaps encounter rare plants. 5. Best Time to Visit: November to March is the ideal season, with pleasant weather and clear waters. Avoid the typhoon-prone summer months. Highlights:
