West Island Travel Diary

🌅 Took a boat early in the morning to West Island under sunny skies, feeling like the whole day would be wonderful. First checked in at Courtyard Hotel, then went out to buy swimsuits and explore. Saw many scenic spots along the way. At the Coral Stone Wall, marveled at nature's craftsmanship—an entire wall built from stacked coral, truly breathtaking. At the fishing village dock, watched the busy lives of local fishermen 🎣. The Seaside Bookstore, facing the ocean with spring blossoms, offered a fresh reading experience. 📚 Coconut Grove Beach was stunning—finally saw the famed "glass sea." The Lonely Tree, a unique landmark, is a must-visit for photos! 🌳 Perfect for posing in a flowy dress. 🌅 Spent the afternoon strolling around the island, enjoying leisurely moments. The snack street was a foodie's paradise! Tried two shrimp cakes—absolutely delicious. Then fulfilled my craving with Yexiaoxiao Coconut Chicken. Savoring coconut chicken while soaking in the breathtaking sea views—life couldn't be better. Under $15 per person, with portions so generous it was shocking. We ordered the dual-flavor hot pot set (seafood platter + Wenchang chicken), and four of us left completely stuffed. After the feast, headed back to the hotel to rest. To avoid rushing, we chose to stay overnight instead of leaving the island the same day. Next morning 🚢 took the boat back—those prone to seasickness, remember to sit at the stern! West Island is totally worth visiting—I’ll definitely return for my next holiday. 🌴 #TravelTips #WestIslandDiary #StudentTravel #WeekendGetaway #CoconutChicken #SanyaTravel #WestIsland
