This May Day holiday, I'm only taking my kids to one place: Wanning!

Wanning, Hainan! I'd call it a kid's paradise! After taking my kids there last summer, they've been wanting to go back. Playing in the sand, surfing, collecting seashells🐚... they had so much fun they didn't want to go home~ Beautiful scenery with few crowds! Gradient glass-like sea🌊 that needs no filter. Lying on the beach, basking in the sun, beachcombing for crabs🦀 and starfish. Cycling along the coconut grove road🌴, enjoying the sea breeze~ It's so relaxing. . This trip to Wanning was really super worthwhile!! Beautiful scenery and few people, it's the most satisfying place I've ever been!✌️ A super enriching experience~I've summarized a 5-day, 4-night foolproof guide. Suitable for parents with children aged 5 and above: . DAY 1 Haikou—Check in to The Ritz-Carlton ✨Landed in Haikou, a private car picked us up from the airport and took us to the hotel to check in. ✨Took the kids to Qilou Old Street for a stroll and some food~ The Nanyang-style architecture is very distinctive. ✔️Food: Coconut chicken, Qingbuliang (a type of cold dessert), Hainan rice noodles, Laoba tea. . DAY 2 Jialang River Paddle Boarding—Seaside Afternoon Tea ✨Paddle boarding on the Jialang River, with tall coconut trees🌴 on both sides, and a refreshing breeze, full of southern charm~ ✨Coconut tree diving, with professional paddle board instructors, no experience necessary. ✔️Seaside afternoon tea, watching the kids play and run freely on the beach, my husband and I sat leisurely enjoying the sea breeze, this is what happiness looks like~ . DAY 3 Jiajing Island Catamaran Sea Carnival—Beachcombing ✨Jiajing Island is so beautiful! Gradient glass-like sea that needs no filter, crystal-clear water, tropical fish🐠, sea cucumbers, and coral everywhere. ✨Catamaran ride, snorkeling, jet skis🛥, banana boats, sea pool, sea slide, so much fun~ ✔️Beachcombing time~ Caught lots of crabs🦀, starfish, sea urchins... ✔️After coming ashore, we had a seafood feast at a fisherman's house, and the crab porridge made with our own catch tasted even better~ . DAY 4 Xinglong Coffee Plantation—Wanning Surfing ✨Xinglong Coffee Plantation, made coffee☕ with the kids, the coffee we ground ourselves was delicious, haha. 🌟Made QQ bouncy Nyonya kuih, one bite at a time, so chewy and delicious, I love it~ ✔️Surfing time🏄! After changing into our swimsuits, the instructor explained surfing techniques, then guided us into the water one by one, with 4 instructors accompanying us! The instructors organized competitions, played frisbee🥏, and even provided water guns for the kids~ ✔️They also awarded the children a Level 1 surfing certificate from the State General Administration of Sport, such a sense of accomplishment~ . DAY 5 Woke up naturally, had breakfast at the hotel—Return trip . 🔆Tips: 1. For first-time trips with kids, you can book a family tour, which includes airport pickup + hotel accommodation + private car transfer + attraction tickets + delicious meals, worry-free and convenient! 2. Wanning doesn't have an airport, you can fly to Sanya, Haikou, or Boao, and then take a high-speed train. 3. Pack kids' swimwear and sunscreen, you'll need them at the beach.
