Hidden by the people of Sanya: Lingshui|Taking kids into the "Glass Sea Fairy Tale"

Think Hainan is only about Sanya? Wrong! Take the kids to discover Lingshui's "hidden level" — the Glass Sea is three times clearer than Sanya, monkeys chase after the kids for food, and the beach sings... 4 days and 3 nights of island fun with kids, and the kids shout, "This is the real summer!" 🌊 🗺️【4 days and 3 nights "Island Script": New surprises every day】 ▫️Day 1 Qingshui Bay → Freedom Lighthouse → Food Street|The beach sings, and the kids listen fascinated • Qingshui Bay: Step onto the "singing beach," where the sand is as fine as flour🍥! The kids run barefoot, suddenly stop and ask, "Mom, is the sand singing?" It turns out the sound of running on the sand is like piano music, surprising her into covering her mouth and laughing~ • Freedom Lighthouse: The same Mosha Lighthouse featured in "The Disappeared"! The rainbow boardwalk is perfect for photos, and the seaside little train clatters by, with the kids chasing after it shouting, "The train is carrying the sunset!"🌅 (Come in the evening, the sunset dyes the sea orange, breathtakingly beautiful) • Qingshui Bay Food Street: The coconut chicken is so delicious it makes you stomp your feet, and the kids slurp the coconut juice saying, "It's sweeter than drinks!"🥥 The herbal duck is so fragrant even the bones smell good; the kids chew with oily hands and still stuff a piece of meat into my mouth~ ▫️Day 2 Monkey Island → Daidai Island → Huling → Xincun Night Market|Monkeys snatch food, kids are both scared and loving it • Monkey Island Cable Car: Ride the cable car over mountains and sea, the kids hold my hand tightly the whole way, then suddenly scream at the top, "Mom! The monkeys are climbing the mountain!"🐒 Hundreds of macaques jump in the forest; the bold ones snatch bananas from the kids’ hands. She dodges and laughs, scared out of her wits but can't help sneaking a peek~ • Daidai Island: So few people it feels like a private beach! The pink-blue sea laps the shore, kids build sandcastles and pick up shells, suddenly holding up a hermit crab shouting, "Mom, look! It’s carrying its house!"🏠 (Beach chairs are free, lying down watching the kids play wildly is so relaxing) • Huling Beach: A hidden snorkeling spot! The water is so clear you can see little fish nibbling your feet🦐, the kids float with a swim ring, suddenly shout, "Mom! The fish kissed me!" Digging for crabs at low tide, they put a little crab in a bucket as a pet, happily jumping around~ • Xincun Night Market: A local hotspot full of lively atmosphere! A bowl of Qingbuliang (herbal jelly dessert) costs 5 yuan, coconut milk mixed with red bean paste, the kids slurp with squinted eyes; grilled oysters are 10 yuan for 3, so fresh it makes your eyebrows drop. We eat and stroll, like entering a magical food maze🍢 ▫️Day 3 R&F Ocean Happy World|Seaside little train + fireworks show, kids go wild and don’t want to leave • Seaside Little Train: The red little train runs through the sea, kids press against the glass shouting, "I'm driving in the sea!"🚂 Along the way, dolphins leap out of the water, causing excited screams~ • Ocean Show: Beluga ball balancing, sea lion dancing, kids cheer holding glow sticks, then suddenly say, "Mom, I want to be friends with them!"🐬 (Front row seats get splashed, bring a change of clothes!) • Fireworks Show: Weekend night spectacular! Fireworks explode over the sea, kids jump saying, "The fireworks fell into the sea!"🎆 The light and shadows reflect on their smiling face, instantly creating the "parent-child photo of the year"~ ▫️Day 4 Fenjiezhou Island|Feeding stingrays, kids touch "alien creatures" • Glass Sea: The seawater is as blue as a gem💎, kids rush into the shallows in swimsuits, suddenly a stingray "kisses" their hand! Screaming scared but curious, they bravely feed the fish, the stingray flaps its wings swimming over, kids shout, "Its mouth is like a vacuum cleaner!"🦹‍♀️ • Cliffside Wooden House: Stay on the island watching the sunset, the balcony overlooks the sea, kids hug a shell pillow saying, "Let's come again tomorrow!"🌙 (Island hotels are expensive, but the experience is worth it, sometimes a little luxury is justified!) 🏨【Accommodation Tips: Choose the right hotel, save half the hassle】 • Qingshui Bay Hotels: Choose one facing the beach! Just 3 minutes out the door to step on the sand, kids can jump into the sea right after waking up, saving travel hassle (Recommended: Raffles, with many family activities and a kids’ playground) • Avoiding homestay pitfalls: Don’t just look at pictures! Read negative reviews carefully to avoid "photo traps." Choose one with a kitchen to cook porridge for the kids; eating seafood by the sea can upset their stomachs~ ⚠️【Island Parenting "Survival Guide"】 1. Sunscreen = Lifesaver: Anessa sunscreen + arm sleeves + face mask + sun-protective clothing, kids’ skin is delicate, reapply every 2 hours or they’ll turn into little red shrimps🦐 in no time 2. Tide-pooling tools: Buy salt in advance (to force clams out), a small shovel, and a bucket (expensive in scenic spots, 10 yuan online), after the tide recedes at Huling Beach, kids can dig up buckets full~ 3. Transportation: For 5 or more people, self-driving is recommended (scenic spots are scattered, taxis are expensive and tiring), rent a convertible and cruise the coastal road, kids shout, "The sea is chasing us!"🌊 4. Seafood eating tips: Choose steamed or boiled for kids (coconut chicken and fermented vinegar dishes are also great), avoid spicy dishes. At Xincun Night Market, kids ate 5 grilled squid skewers and still asked for more~ In 4 days in Lingshui, the kids chased monkeys, fed fish, dug crabs, and even laughed in their dreams. It turns out Hainan is not just crowded Sanya, but also Lingshui’s "Glass Sea Fairy Tale" — blending island romance and the joy of parenting into the sea breeze. This summer, stop squeezing into Sanya, bring your kids to Lingshui and add a splash of "glass blue" to their childhood✨
