Wanning Travel Guide: This One Article Is All You Need
Wanning Travel Guide🏝️ This one article is all you need.
Wanning is so suitable for young people to have fun, leaving Wanning feels even more lingering than a breakup.
day1️⃣ On the first day✈️ landed in Haikou, took the high-speed train to Shenzhou Station (Wanning has two high-speed train stations, Wanning Station and Shenzhou Station, Wanning Station is in the urban area, far from the attractions, it is recommended to choose Shenzhou Station.
After getting off the train, directly hail a car or there are drivers outside soliciting (the drivers are quite honest, they won't rip you off).
The place I stayed on the first day was at Sunac Riyue Bay, see pictures P2️⃣-4️⃣, the environment is really nice! All are sea-view rooms with balconies, and you can see the sea at a glance! It's an artificial peninsula, the facilities on the island are quite complete, it's just that the food is incredibly expensive! A bowl of noodles costs around fifty or sixty yuan.
In the afternoon, you can rent an electric scooter to go down the island to play, once you're off the island, you're on the Coconut Palm Road P5️⃣, with the sea on the right and some cafes on the left.
Checked in at Haimen Yefang P1️⃣, it's quite crowded and you have to queue up to take photos (the coconuts🥥 in Hainan are really hard to drink).
Walking and stopping on the beach opposite🏖️ P6️⃣-8️⃣, it was cloudy when I went, the sea wasn't that blue, it kind of affected my mood a bit.
In the evening, took a taxi to Xinglong Town to eat the very popular Nanyang flavor P9️⃣, it was quite good, we ordered a table for just over 200 yuan, none of them were disappointing, the fried rice noodles were inexplicably delicious hhh.
After dinner, strolled around the nearby fruit market P🔟, saw many fruits I've never seen before, the owners are very enthusiastic and down-to-earth, we walked around and were full from tasting even before buying anything, but many of the fruits were not ripe, the owners are all wholesalers.
Didn't return to Riyue Bay until 10:30 pm, it turns out the best part of Riyue Bay is at night!!! The bars on the street are full of young people drinking and clubbing P1️⃣1️⃣, super lively, and the beach is full of people setting off fireworks and singing, the atmosphere is also very good P1️⃣2️⃣-1️⃣3️⃣.
day2️⃣ At noon the next day went surfing at Riyue Bay again 🏄, it was the club owner who pulled us in when we were wandering around Riyue Bay on the first day, didn't expect it to be so worth it, 200 yuan for 1v2 coaching, two hours of instruction, board to play with at will, and clothes and shower provided with no other charges.
In the afternoon, took another taxi to Shenzhou Peninsula, Shenzhou Peninsula is more livable and quieter than Riyue Bay, also very suitable for renting electric scooters, the beach is less crowded at night, sitting on the beach and feeling the breeze is incredibly comfortable P1️⃣5️⃣-1️⃣7️⃣.
In the evening, had sour soup hotpot and coconut chicken P1️⃣8️⃣, the sour soup hotpot was totally to my taste! Absolutely loved it.
Every Qingbu Liang shop on Shenzhou Peninsula is delicious, totally satisfying, drank three bowls in one day, but didn't take a single photo.
It's not that Thailand is unaffordable, but Wanning in Sanya offers better value for money! Travel guide

Just got back from Wanning, those planning to go to Wanning please change your itinerary as soon as possible!
Although it's hard to hear, it's the real situation in Wanning!
1️⃣ Wanning's main four areas, Riyue Bay, Xinglong Town, Shimei Bay, and Shenzhou Peninsula, don't plan too much for one day, focus on relaxing!
2️⃣ Weather: The temperature in Wanning is rising now, and it's fine to go into the sea for a swim! However, it's still a bit cold when the wind picks up in the morning and evening, so it's recommended to bring a light jacket. The UV rays in Wanning are very strong, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun. Check the weather before going out, the color of the sea changes with different weather, and for photos, make sure to shoot with the light, otherwise, the sea will look grey. Don't give up on going out when it rains, as it's usually just a shower and will stop soon!
3⃣️ Flying to Haikou is much cheaper than flying to Sanya, and after landing, you can choose to rent a car to drive to Wanning; or take the high-speed train to Shenzhou Station, don't go to Wanning Station, it's very far.
4⃣️ Don't go sightseeing at noon, it's both hot and sunny.
5⃣️ It's suggested to visit the church earlier for the beautiful sunrise! It's better to visit the lighthouse later because there are no shaded areas around and it can be very sunny.
6⃣️ Regarding surfing, find a professional coach (don't trust those who randomly chat you up on the street), wear a long surfing suit; don't keep your nails too long, if you have long nails, trim them for safety first.
5⃣️ If you have a weak stomach, don't try raw marinated seafood easily, if it's not properly handled, you really can get diarrhea that makes you question life.
7⃣️ Don't go into the sea when it's cloudy or when there are big waves; always check the weather in advance, as the overall experience can be greatly diminished on rainy days.
8⃣️ Definitely, definitely, definitely bring mosquito repellent (important things said three times), the betel bugs in Hainan are really poisonous.
9⃣️ The UV rays in Wanning are very strong, so make sure to do physical sun protection, it's recommended to bring an umbrella, which can be used for both sun and rain.

Driving along the eastern route of Hainan is simply amazing!
🚗 Hainan self-driving is divided into the eastern, central, and western routes. A round-the-island trip consists of the eastern and western routes, with the eastern route being the most classic, boasting Hainan's finest sandy beaches. The western route is more primitive, and it usually takes 7-10 days to complete.
♻️ For a round-the-island trip, you can start from either Haikou or Sanya. If you choose only the eastern route, you can start from Haikou and travel clockwise to Sanya.
Route:
Haikou-Wenchang-Boao-Wanning-Lingshui-Sanya
1⃣️ Arcade Old Street
Hainan's distinctive architectural style, free of charge
2⃣️ Mulan Bay
Several kilometers of coastal wind turbines are incredibly impressive
3⃣️ Qishui Bay
A beautiful beach with coconut palm swings that make for great photos
4⃣️ Dongjiao Coconut Grove
A traditional and well-known scenic spot, can be skipped if time is limited
5⃣️ Satellite Launch Center
If you're lucky enough to catch a rocket launch, that's just fantastic
6⃣️ Boao Forum for Asia Venue
Honestly, it's quite boring and can be completely ignored
7⃣️ Red Stone Beach
Red reef and sandy beach, perfect for sunrise photography
8⃣️ Sun River Bridge
This location is especially beautiful for aerial photography, great for surfing, and also a filming location for 'The Disappearing She'
9⃣️ Shenzhou Peninsula
Definitely visit the popular lighthouse, it's less crowded in the morning and beautiful at dusk. The Corona Sunset Bar at the Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula Resort is also a filming location for 'The Disappearing She'
1⃣️0⃣️ Freedom Lighthouse
The Freedom Lighthouse in Lingshui is the 'Mosa Lighthouse' from the movie 'The Disappearing She'
1⃣️1⃣️ Perfume Bay

A gathering area for upscale resorts
1⃣️4⃣️ Dahua Jiao
A wild beach full of round stones, less crowded and photogenic
1⃣️5⃣️ Tufu Bay
Chiling is a good place to watch the sunset over Haitang Bay
1⃣️6⃣️ Haitang Bay
A gathering area for upscale hotels in Sanya, with a duty-free city nearby. The beach is one of the best in the Sanya area, but the wind and waves are too strong for swimming
1⃣️7⃣️ Yalong Bay
One of the three old beaches of Sanya, now a bit rundown. The scenery of Wuzhizhou Island opposite is nice, but it's crowded
1⃣️8⃣️ Dadonghai/Luhuitou
An old beach close to the city center, with average water quality and proximity to the city
1⃣️9⃣️ Sanya Bay/Coconut Dream Corridor
The city's beach, extremely crowded, but good for watching the sunset
🚗 Self-driving in Hainan is very convenient, with toll-free highways (the toll is included in the fuel price), and fuel prices in Hainan are expensive. It's best to have at least two people taking turns driving to avoid fatigue.
Car rental in Hainan is very convenient, with many charging stations for new energy vehicles, and driving a new energy vehicle can save a lot on fuel costs.
The nostalgia for leaving Wanning in Hainan is even stronger than the feeling of a breakup
Who understands that the longing after returning from Wanning is even greater than that of a breakup, looking at the photos taken in Wanning, the sense of loss is really heavy...😭😭, every day at work is spent missing it😭, I really miss the blue skies, white clouds, green trees, sea, and beaches of Hainan Wanning!!

In the Shenzhou Peninsula of Wanning, Hainan, I captured those unforgettable moments
In the Shenzhou Peninsula of Wanning, Hainan, I captured those unforgettable moments, as if each photo carried a story of life.
Taking advantage of the off-peak tourism season, I embarked on a journey to Hainan. Few people, beautiful scenery, gentle sunshine, everything was just right. Wanning, this beautiful land, made me fall in love. The Shenzhou Peninsula Grand Hyatt hotel we chose, right outside the door was a vast lawn, and further ahead, was the vast sea and the beautiful scenery of swaying coconut palms.
Here, I recorded every wonderful moment with my phone, from the seaside sunrise in the early morning, to the coconut palm sunset at dusk, and then to the starry sky at night. Each photo seemed to tell a touching story, intoxicating me. The phone's memory was running low, but I was unwilling to miss any of the beautiful sights.
In the Shenzhou Peninsula of Wanning, I became that happy self. Dressed in a relaxed seaside holiday attire, I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful time here. Whether strolling on the coconut palm-lined paths or lying on the beach sunbathing, I felt incredibly comfortable.
The retro bar by the sea in Wanning is so photogenic!
It's located on the beach of Sheraton in Shenzhou Peninsula
But I guess it will definitely be the next hot spot for photos in Wanning🔥
Because it's really photogenic!🥰
The strong retro red and white come with a filter
Plus the beach loungers and parasols, it matches perfectly with the sea of Wanning!
The photos have a bit of a retro Coca-Cola bar feel🥤
I personally think that dressing up as a retro spicy girl➕ccd📷filter will make the photos even better
Friends who come to the South Sea for the winter must rush!!

Wanning Shenzhou Peninsula || Everyone has a lighthouse in their heart
🌟🥰 Hainan Wanning Shenzhou Peninsula is a great place to 'escape the cold and spend the winter.' Don't just flock to Sanya in Hainan, you can choose Wanning Shenzhou Peninsula, where it's truly a heavenly place.
👀 🫶🏻 The average age of the elderly in Wanning, Hainan is 82 years old. There is a saying there: 'To live to be a hundred, drink Wanning water often.' It is known as 'China's Longevity Town,' 'China's Surfing Capital,' and 'China's Betel Nut Hometown.' There is also a local saying, 'Half of Hainan's betel nut is in Wanning.'
❗️ It seems that it must indeed be a paradise on earth.
🏰 Wanning has a coastline of 109 kilometers, with many bays scattered along it. Among them is a place called Shenzhou Peninsula, which not only has internet-famous bays and lighthouses but is also a paradise for 'migratory bird' elders to 'live in retirement' and 'escape the cold and spend the winter.'
🏘 Where is Shenzhou Peninsula? It is located in the Shenzhou Peninsula Tourist Resort in Wanning City, Hainan, 139 kilometers from Haikou and about 112 kilometers from Sanya. The island's high-speed rail has built a station specifically for it, called 'Shenzhou Peninsula Station.'
🌊 The Shenzhou Peninsula Tourist Resort is surrounded by the sea on three sides, located north of Niuling, right at the 18th parallel north. With clear mountains and beautiful waters, abundant sunshine, and spring-like weather all year round, the average annual temperature is 24.8°C, with the coldest January averaging 18.7°C.
🏞️ The forest coverage rate of Wanning Shenzhou Peninsula is 67.6%, with an average annual sunshine of 2108.9 hours. The air contains up to 12,000 negative oxygen ions per cubic meter, making it a natural green oxygen bar. Therefore, Wanning has been praised by the United Nations Environment Programme as 'the most suitable place for human habitation.'
🏨 Shenzhou Peninsula is located in Dong'ao Town, Wanning City, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with the most pristine coastal scenery in Hainan. Today's Shenzhou Peninsula has star-rated hotels, luxury villas, and golf courses, attracting a large number of tourists and 'migratory bird' elders to travel and 'escape the cold and spend the winter' every year.
🌲 The surrounding tourist resources of Shenzhou Peninsula are rich, such as Xinglong Tourist Resort, Tropical Botanical Garden, Shimei Bay, Riyue Bay, and Gangbei Xiaohai, etc. It is a very comfortable and pleasant thing to drive along the tourist road on weekdays.
🌸 From April to May each year, the phoenix flowers on Shenzhou Peninsula bloom competitively. The phoenix flowers on the peninsula are concentrated, and when they bloom, they form large patches of fiery red beauty, attracting a large number of tourists to watch every year.
🎄 Wanning has the largest selenium-rich soil area in Hainan Province, with fruit and vegetable production bases everywhere. On Shenzhou Peninsula, tropical fruits and vegetables such as betel nuts, pepper, pineapple, wax apple, and mango can be bought everywhere, and the prices are unimaginably low.
🌴 Not far from Shenzhou Peninsula is Gangbei Xiaohai, the largest lagoon in China, rich in seafood, with Hele crabs, Hou'an mullet, and Gangbei prawns all produced there, bringing good fortune to the 'migratory bird' elders.
🌟 The climate of Wanning Shenzhou Peninsula is pleasant, and the air is fresh. There is no hustle and bustle of crowds and the roar of motor vehicles, making it a comfortable and pleasant place to spend the winter and retire. One day, will you consider spending a warm and comfortable winter on Shenzhou Peninsula?
Spring is in the air, exploring the beauty of Wanning in Hainan
I went to Wanning with my parents a few years ago and found it quite comfortable and pleasant to stay in.😌😌
Just finished exams, and my friends and I wanted to go out and have fun without going to crowded places. We thought Wanning would be perfect for a few days of relaxation. We organized a private group tour, with hotel and transportation all arranged. It was very free; when tired, we just lay in the hotel eating and drinking water🥥, and running or walking by the seaside🌊 with the sea breeze was also amazing.
Below are some of my genuine thoughts, hoping to help everyone👌
—————————
Wanning only has a train station, no airport. You need to land in Haikou or Sanya by plane and then transfer to a train to get there.🚈
Be sure to take good sun protection measures, as the UV rays at the beach are strong.
The round-trip ferry ticket to Sanya's West Island is only 98 yuan, and you can book a tour bus around the island in advance online, or rent a small electric car on the island for a tour.
Corona Sunset Bar is located in Wanning's Shenzhou Peninsula, a very popular beach bar. You only need to buy a bottle of Corona beer for 38 yuan to take photos📷, which are very photogenic.
During the trip, we spent one night at the Fenjiezhou Island Fishing Club, which is also very photogenic. When you go there, check if there are rooms available; if the price is right, go for it.
Sanya's West Island is a must-visit spot for Instagram-worthy photos. You can buy a coconut to take pictures with, which is very characteristic. The island's residents are also very hospitable, with century-old houses, and walking by the seaside is very comfortable.🌊
The photos from Shimei Bay are straight out of the camera, and when the weather is good, no filter is needed to capture beautiful pictures. The sunrise at the Sunac Chapel is also an excellent shooting spot; it's recommended to get up early to see it.
GROM surf shop is a very comfortable place where you can order a drink and sit there in a daze. The large glass window at the entrance is also a great spot for photos. The road leading to the lighthouse is also beautiful, offering a great view of the sunset.
Xiehou Seafood Restaurant's secret golden crab is very famous, and you must try it! Panlong sea eel and grilled Arctic shellfish are also very fresh and delicious.
Lao Qiongzhou Maple Duck is also a must-try restaurant, with very fresh duck meat and generous portions. The colorful cake and coconut rice are also delicious.
Taiqiong century-old Zaozao vinegar hotpot has a very appetizing vinegar soup base, and you can drink the soup continuously for three bowls! The farmer's Dongshan goat coconut chicken has no gamey taste, tastes very fragrant and glutinous, and includes tofu skin and radish, which is delicious. Overall, these are all good food recommendations, and I hope everyone will like them too!

🛣️"Nanyan Bay" tourist road travel guide
The travel road passing through Nanyan Bay, Longshan Village, Dongao Town is likely to be a very flat and beautiful road line trimmed by Wanning, whether riding an electric bike🛵, bicycle🚲, or driving a car🚗, you can enjoy the comfort and breathability brought by green vegetation and the sea, the whole journey is about 15km, along the road there are pubs, skateboard pools, surf shops, restaurants, Shenzhou Peninsula Parachute Base, fruit shops, etc., to meet basic needs, if not in a hurry, you can come near dusk, the sunset is very beautiful.

✍🏻Travel advice
Road killers are not the little donkeys shuttling through the city, but the slow cows and donkeys, sometimes dogs, cats and geese, occasionally snakes🐍, please give way politely when encountering animals! There are more cows, they are not afraid of cars, and they may even play tricks on the road.
-
🌊Travel advice
▼Near the end of the tourist road, you can picnic and fish🎣 around the confluence of Wanning Sun River and the sea, and the advertisements on the doors of the big ships🚢 passing by are clear at a glance.
▼If you are not in a hurry, you can rest and adapt well before participating in a wonderful journey of sea waves - surfing, the joy of surfing is only 0 times and countless times. (There is an important premise, find a professional coach)
▼The bar near the sea can simply chill, relax and see the long-awaited sea, maybe you can hear romantic stories about the sea.

🗺️Hainan Wanning Nanyan Bay Tourist Road
🚗It is recommended to drive by yourself, the bay is far from the small town
Wanning is truly beautiful without ever having to leave the country
When you come here, you will realize that the dreamy sea doesn't require a trip to Southeast Asia! The beauty and passion of Sanya are like a blazing fire, while Wanning is a tranquil sapphire, dazzling yet understated, beautiful yet luxurious.
Transportation tips: Wanning does not have an airport, take a high-speed train from Sanya/Haikou/Qionghai
①The high-speed train to Wanning Station is close to the city center
②Shenzhou Station is near scenic areas (Shimei Bay, Shenzhou Peninsula, etc.).
Highlights: Wanning's new Tanwan Cliff for sea viewing
The mountain is slippery, be careful, but it's really beautiful, recommended to go on a sunny day!
Fenjiezhou Island
Take a boat to the island, there are many attractions inside! Wanning's most beautiful glass sea!
Riyue Bay Beach, Shanqin Bay, Swallow Cave
Recommended for watching the sunrise, super surprising!
Drive to Shanqin Bay Swallow Cave from the beach, there are black reefs on the beach! A huge movie scene, feels like being abroad!
Wanning Shenzhou Peninsula Coastal Highway
Navigate to Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse
Shenzhou Peninsula
A super beautiful seaside bar, also a location from the movie 'The Disappearing Her', sitting by the sea drinking, watching the sunset.

About accommodation
Wanning mainly has four areas: Shenzhou Peninsula, Shimei Bay, Riyue Bay, Xinglong Town
①Riyue Bay: Many homestays, affordable prices
②Wanning City, good value for money, Wanning Station to Shenzhou Station high-speed train only takes 7 minutes, taking a taxi to Shenzhou saves a lot of money
③If you have enough budget, you can stay in Shimei Bay and China Peninsula, where the sand is softer, the sea quality is better, fewer people and quiet, you can relax in the hotel. Westin, Le Meridien, and Sheraton are all here.
Food recommendations
Coconut chicken: The taste of the chicken is really fresh and juicy
Qiongzhou Zaozao vinegar: A seafood control gospel, cool sour and spicy, delicious for seafood hot pot.
The same lighthouse as in Hayao Miyazaki's anime
What does the lighthouse in Hayao Miyazaki's animations look like in real life?
Come to Shenzhou Peninsula to find out, she will give you the answer~
The beauty of 18 degrees north latitude, you must slow down to feel it
The blue sky and sea, the continuous coastline, the red and white lighthouse extending into the sea, the sea water beating against the breakwater, it's all a scene from a Japanese anime,
and you are the protagonist in this comic
Locate Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse Parking Lot, there is no admission fee. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk to the lighthouse.
When there are few people, every angle is photogenic. There are more people checking in in the afternoon, so it is recommended to come at around eight or nine in the morning to avoid the crowds.
This summer, come to Shenzhou Peninsula with someone you like
And squat for a comic-like sunrise and sunset!

🏝️Wanning Avoidance Points
1️⃣Wanning is quite cold during this period, much colder than Sanya, and the wind is strong, it is recommended to bring more long-sleeved sweatshirts, and remember to bring a thicker coat, because the wind is quite strong in the morning and evening
2️⃣ The cost of vacationing in Wanning during the peak winter season is also quite high, don't believe that there are fewer people and low consumption, especially in Riyue Bay, Shenzhou Peninsula and other popular spots, the consumption is not low
3️⃣The wind is strong in Wanning at this time, and if it's cloudy, the waves are particularly large, it is recommended to surf cautiously, feeling a bit cold, and there are factors such as strong winds and waves
4️⃣To go to the Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse, you can't drive directly there, there is a distance of 2.8 kilometers, if you rent an electric car, you can go directly in, or take a 20 round-trip sightseeing car at the door
5️⃣Don't miss a niche spot when you go to Shimei Bay Viewing Pavilion, you can ask the stall owner how to get down to the seaside, there is a less crowded and beautiful niche beach under a big tree
6️⃣Avoid Phoenix Jiuli Bookstore, which is a bookstore by the sea, not particularly close to the sea, no need to go there specially
7️⃣Wanning is more recommended for self-driving, because the attractions are still far apart, self-driving is more convenient, plus the starting price for Didi is 11, which is not very cost-effective
8️⃣There are many undeveloped sea areas in Wanning, don't go into the sea casually, because there are no safety facilities
9️⃣It's best for girls to take a taxi online, because there are still many black cars near the attractions in Wanning
🔟If you want to surf in Wanning, don't do nail extensions, because long nails are unsafe, and the coach will ask you to cut them
1️⃣1️⃣If you want to watch the sunset in Wanning, such as going to the Sunset Bar, Riyue Bay Church and so on, you must go at more than 5 o'clock, because it can set at 6 o'clock, the sunset is very fast
1️⃣2️⃣Don't miss the many check-in points along the coastal road to the Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse, first of all, the landmarks on the road and the signs in the woods, etc.
Hainan Peninsula, a place worth longing for and lingering over!!!

⭐️Anti-pit tips
1. Be sure to bring a power bank, taking photos with your phone really drains the battery, especially for sisters who love to take photos
2. It only takes about 50 minutes from Haikou East Station to Wanning Shenzhou Station, which is very convenient
3. January is the best time to travel to Hainan, the later the more expensive, so you need to buy tickets and hotels in advance
4. Before going out, prepare quick-drying swimsuits, children's sunscreen, sunglasses, mosquito repellent, etc. for the children. If the child is very young, it is recommended to bring a foldable stroller, and you can buy sand digging tools locally
5. The prices in Riyue Bay are really high! Whether you are buying or renting something, you should ask the price first
6. Whether you are in Hainan, whether you are an adult or a child, you should do a good job of sun protection, otherwise you can get sunburned in half a day, and severe sunburn

Wanning One Day Tour Guide
Accommodation is in Haikou, took a day off to go to Wanning.
Bought a morning ticket from Haikou Station to Wanning Station, didn't get the ticket to Shenzhou Station at the time I wanted, you can directly buy to Shenzhou Station, it will be closer to the attractions.
Took a taxi after getting off the high-speed rail station and went to Shenzhou Peninsula first, the sightseeing car round trip is 20, checked in the lighthouse, the most beautiful road is also very beautiful, and there is also a Snoopy car.
🚖Then go to Riyue Bay, it was cloudy that day, occasionally there was sun, the sea is a bit greenish, the sea breeze is very comfortable, and there are coffee shops on the beach.
Found a place to have afternoon tea, tempo. After drinking, took a taxi to the No Door Coffee, had a coffee. Then 🚖 went to the Overseas Chinese Agricultural Market in Xinglong, found a seafood processing shop, let the boss's wife take us to buy some seafood, processed it for dinner, and then went to eat colorful Qingbuliang. Then go to the high-speed rail station, return to Haikou, the high-speed rail journey is about an hour. Passing through Wenchang, Lingshui, Qionghai, etc. I feel that high-speed rail travel is also very convenient. It's enough time to check in a few points I want to in a day, although the attractions are relatively scattered, it's also convenient to take a taxi.
The sea view room in Wanning is really amazing, it's recommended to live here for a long time

The fish was cut into pieces... but the nerves in the tail were still moving😭
Sorry fish, but it's really fresh.
The pot bottom of Zao Cu vinegar is also authentic👍 After boiling the seafood, the soup tastes even better.
The vegetables and noodles are also delicious.
In addition to various fresh seafood, there are also many Hainan special dishes.
The Bolong and Pipi shrimp we ordered were freshly made and very delicious.
My friend kept praising it after eating!

The environment in the store is very suitable for taking pictures and checking in.
The service attitude is also good, I will come to eat again if I have the chance❤️
