Five-One small holiday, let's go to Wanning! 5 days and 4 nights of laid-back vacation

🚩Day 1: First encounter with the sea! Start the happy mode from the "Surfing Paradise" Take a taxi directly to Riyue Bay after getting off the plane. The road is lined with green rice paddies, and the waves crash on the beach in the distance, instantly washing away all your worries! First, go to a seaside cafe and order a coconut smoothie 🥥, watch the surfing masters "dance" on the waves, and those who are eager to try can go directly to the surf shop on the shore. A 1v1 experience class costs 200+ for 1 hour, and the coach will take you to catch the waves, so it's super safe~ Stay in a B&B in Riyue Bay at night, and the beach is right outside the door! Go to the night market next to "Shaka Surf" for some skewers. The roasted oysters are covered with minced garlic and smell so good that they make your mouth water. Buy a coconut jelly and take it back to your room. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves. This is what a vacation should be like~ 💡Tips: Wear long-sleeved sun protection clothing for surfing! Don't ask me how I know (the painful lesson of sunburned and peeling skin😭) 🚩Day 2: Drive along the coastal road! Capture the coastline in your camera Rent a small electric scooter (the B&B owner usually has them for rent, 50 yuan/day), and set off from Riyue Bay to Shimei Bay! Along the way, you will pass the "most beautiful coastal road". Stop whenever you see a viewing platform—the left hand is layers of waves, and the right hand is green plants all over the mountains and plains. Just lean on the railing and take a picture, and it will be a healing picture from a movie~ At noon, eat Zaopo vinegar next to the "Phoenix Nine Miles" bookstore in Shimei Bay. Throw a few slices of beef and conch into the sour soup, and eat it with Hainan rice noodles until you can't stop! In the afternoon, go snorkeling at Jiajing Island (sign up for a local small group, including round-trip speedboats). The sea water is so clear that you can see small fish swimming by your feet. Remember to bring a waterproof phone case to take underwater vlogs~ 💡Tips: Pay attention to safety when taking pictures on the road! Choose an open road section and ask your partner to watch the car~ 🚩Day 3: Break into the tropical rainforest! Unlock the "Nanyang style" in Xinglong Take a taxi for 20 minutes to Xinglong Town, and you'll feel like you've traveled to Southeast Asia in an instant! In the morning, go to "Longyuan Coffee Plantation" and learn how to make hand-brewed coffee with the master. The freshly picked coffee beans are ground and smell so good that you'll want to stomp your feet. Pair it with a colorful coconut shredded roll, which is super sweet and goes well together~ In the afternoon, go into the Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden, learn about cocoa trees and pepper vines with the guide, and capture the shots of the "Rainforest Train" shuttling through the green leaves. The success rate is 100%! Stroll through the Xinglong night market in the evening, and you must try Indonesian fried noodles🍝, satay skewers, and pack a pandan leaf rice as a late-night snack. It's so fragrant that you'll drool even in your dreams~ 💡Tips: There are many mosquitoes in the botanical garden! Wear long pants + mosquito repellent, don't give mosquitoes a "buffet"🦟 🚩Day 4: Lying down is the real deal! Beach camping + sunset beachcombing Go to Shenzhou Peninsula in the morning, find a less crowded beach to set up a tent, bring a picnic mat and a few bottles of sparkling water, lie down and watch the clouds drift by, occasionally surfers "break through the waves", and take casual photos that look like magazine covers~ Go to "Laoyehai" at 4pm to go beachcombing (check the ebb tide time in advance!), carry a small shovel to find crabs and shells, children squat on the shallows to dig sand pits, and adults take backlit silhouettes next to them. The picture is so heartwarming that you want to freeze it~ Have a barbecue on the beach in the evening, ask the B&B owner to help prepare the ingredients, the aroma of roasted corn and chicken wings wafts far away, and drink coconut juice with the starry sky, perfect! 💡Tips: Wear non-slip shoes for beachcombing! The moss on the reefs is more slippery than an ice rink😂 🚩Day 5: End with shopping and eating! Pack the "freshness" of Wanning and take it home Leave the last day for Wanning City! Go to "Lao Zhai Xiang" in the morning to eat Houan rice noodles. The base is pork offal soup, and the rice noodles are crispy. Add a spoonful of yellow lantern chili peppers, and it's so spicy that you'll sweat and feel super satisfied~ Then go to "Wanning No. 1 Market", buy two strings of local small golden coconuts (10 yuan for 3), and pick some Xinglong coffee and partridge tea as souvenirs. Remember to bargain! Go to Dazhou Island in the afternoon (you can choose a nearby beach if time is tight), take a fishing boat around the island, watch the seagulls flying around on the cliffs, and finally watch the fishermen unload the fish at the pier. Fresh grouper and mantis shrimp can be bought and processed directly. Steam them and they'll be so fresh that your eyebrows will drop~ 💡Tips: Ask the boss to cut the fruit into pieces! It's super cool to just carry it and eat it while walking~ ✨The joy of Wanning is as simple as this: no need to rush to scenic spots, no need to crowd with people, go surfing when you want, lie on the beach and daze when you are tired, even the air is filled with "take it easy"
