Wanning has truly impressed me

When it comes to Hainan, many friends might only know Sanya and not Wanning. Those who have road-tripped through Hainan must be familiar with Wanning, but recently, Wanning has undergone a remarkable transformation. In less than half a year, many of Wanning's hidden gems have been revitalized. Here are a few lesser-known scenic spots with stunning ocean views [Cute]: **Nanyan Bay** – One of the top ten most beautiful sections of Hainan's tourist highway. Navigate to Nanyan Bay Seaview Pavilion. This is the only coastal road in Wanning where you can enjoy elevated ocean views 🛣️. The best time to visit is after 4 PM—it's beautiful during the day too, but mornings can be too sunny! After 5:30 PM, it's especially gorgeous and cooler, with many mobile water bars and small pubs, creating a very romantic and relaxing atmosphere. **Shenzhou Peninsula Tourist Area - Lighthouse** – The road to the lighthouse is breathtaking, with sunlight making the seawater sparkle like emeralds. **Phoenix Nine Miles Bookstore** – This place is incredibly photogenic, with many beachside bars and a stunning bookstore, often called the most beautiful bookstore. **Hilton Hainan Xinglong Resort & Spa** – I highly recommend staying at this hotel. The serene environment features a tranquil lake within the property, making it a perfect retreat.
