I thought Sanya was beautiful enough, until I came to Lingshui

Strolling along the 12-kilometer coconut grove boardwalk, with fine soft sand beneath your feet and swaying coconut trees, enjoy a slow-paced holiday basking in the sunshine and sea. Or embrace the ocean by surfing and diving—the diving location from the movie "Lost in the Stars" is here. Must-visit spots: ✓ Freedom Lighthouse: A filming location from the movie, the red-and-white lighthouse against the backdrop of jelly-like sea makes for stunning sunrise photos. ✓ Longtouling Viewing Platform: Offers a 180° panoramic view of the twin bays, an excellent spot for drone photography. ✓ Qingshui Bay Scenic Area: Dig in the sand, go beachcombing, or take a yacht ride. The sand is incredibly fine, feeling like it's singing under your feet. 🏨 Hotel Name: Kimpton Qingshui Bay Resort Hainan ✈️ Transportation: 1-hour drive from Sanya Airport I was so impressed by the hotel I stayed in that I couldn't wait to share it with you. The lobby exudes an artistic atmosphere, the rooms are spacious and comfortable with complete amenities, and there's a wide variety of dining options! Kids won't be bored all day with the children's pool and the 1,100㎡ fun-filled kids' space offering activities like pottery making and junior chef experiences. Adults can also enjoy the gym and e-sports center. 🏨 Hotel Facilities: ✓ Base rooms start at 56㎡, featuring sea-view balconies, Dyson products, and Marshall speakers—pure luxury. ✓ Choose bunk bed rooms if traveling with kids. 👦🏻 Kids' facilities designed to keep them entertained every second: ✓ Lazy river + infinity pool leading straight to the sea ✓ Indoor 1,100㎡ fun space (slides/climbing/ball pit) ✓ Dedicated kids' pool & craft workshops for a full day of fun 🍽️ Hotel Dining: Lujian Restaurant: Breakfast served until 12 PM! Late risers rejoice—semi-buffet seafood congee + freshly made waffles. Haiyu Chinese Restaurant: A divine combo of Cantonese and Hainanese cuisine! Attentive staff even help peel mantis shrimp. Dihu Japanese Restaurant: The grand ambiance is unforgettable. Lingshui specialties: Visit Xincun Pier Seafood Market to buy seafood and have it cooked on-site; try coconut chicken hot pot, Lingshui sour rice noodles, etc. Local culture: Visit Li ethnic villages to learn about traditional Li culture, such as Li brocade weaving.
