Regarding the parent-child trip to West Island, my suggestion is

Do not recommend a day trip!! Otherwise, while you fantasize about taking beautiful photos and checking in, you will keep hearing the endless nagging of the naughty child "Mom, why do we have to take photos here" "Mom, taking photos is not fun, I don't want to take them" "Mom, I want ice cream" "Mom, I want to go to the beach to dig sand" "Mom, I want to go catch sea creatures" "Mom, I want to go back to the hotel to swim" "Mom........" At this moment, you will think about sending the child back to the hotel every minute. So for those who are still struggling with whether to stay on the island for one night with the kids, this article can be a reference. Without further ado, here begins my two-day and one-night parent-child travel strategy ✔️Day1: Have a leisurely lunch in the downtown area of Sanya, recommended local old restaurants Longji Roasted Duck or Mengji Roasted Duck Qiong Cuisine. Around 14:00 in the afternoon, go to the island at an off-peak time, check into the Happy Orange Homestay for a short rest, rent a tricycle for a tour: Internet-famous Coral Wall—Wooden Plaque Heart Wall—Niuwang Island to watch the sunset and catch sea creatures. Have dinner at Na Jie's barbecue, and continue to have fun in the homestay pool after a full meal. ✔️Day2: Sleep until you wake up naturally, walk to the Coral Old House - Sea Library - Cultural and Creative Hall - Lonely Tree by the sea, play until noon and return to the downtown area. If time permits, you can also check in Tianya Town. 🎫About transportation and tickets: Tickets + round-trip boat tickets can be purchased on a certain platform for 92 yuan/person, Hainan ID card holders can buy tickets on-site for 85 yuan/person, children and students for 48 yuan/person. If you drive yourself, park at Xiaoqi Port Wharf, the underground parking fee is 8 yuan/day. After arriving on the island, homestays generally provide free two-wheeled electric scooters. If you can't ride, you can choose the islanders' small sightseeing car (with the islander as the driver), the cost is 50 yuan/vehicle, and the use time can be negotiated. 🏨About accommodation: The homestays on the island each have their own characteristics. Families with children must choose homestays with swimming pools, which is very important! The appearance-conscious mother chose the Happy Orange Homestay, which is a five-minute walk after getting off the boat, with many surrounding restaurants, and just a few minutes' walk to the beach. The homestay's fashionable and simple orange theme is very eye-catching, with clever ideas in every corner, the whole house is smart, which the mother is very satisfied with. There are free tools for catching sea creatures and electric scooters provided, as well as a photogenic swimming pool with a full atmosphere. 🍔About dining: The prices on the island are much friendlier than I imagined, generally the same as the dining prices in the downtown area. The islanders are simple and friendly, and you can also bargain. Remember to choose restaurants run by locals! In summary, West Island is suitable for a slow visit, especially for families with children. Slow down and feel the beauty of the small island, and you will gain a different travel experience.
