From the city to Wenchang, embrace the gentle island life.

Here's the ultimate travel guide to Wenchang, Hainan: Transportation • External Transportation: You can first arrive at Haikou Meilan International Airport, then take the high-speed train to Wenchang, which takes about 40 minutes. You can also choose to fly directly to Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site, but there are relatively fewer flights. • Internal Transportation: There are buses in the city, but they may not be frequent. You can download the "Wenchang Bus" app to check routes. Taking a taxi is more convenient. You can also rent electric scooters or bicycles, which are suitable for traveling short distances in and around the city. Attractions • Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site: China's first open launch base. You can visit the launch tower, rocket assembly workshop, learn about space knowledge, and watch rocket launches (you need to check the launch schedule in advance and book tickets). • Qishui Bay Beach: Adjacent to the launch site, with fine sand and clear water. You can see the launch tower from afar, making it an excellent place to watch rocket launches. You can also stroll along the beach and play in the waves. • Dongjiao Coconut Grove: A forest of coconut trees, including red coconuts and green coconuts. You can stroll along the coconut grove paths, taste fresh coconut juice, experience the fun of picking coconuts, and enjoy the beautiful sea view. • Wenchang Confucius Temple: The best-preserved ancient architectural complex in Hainan, with statues of Confucius, Lingxing Gate, and Panchi Pond. You can experience the traditional cultural atmosphere and learn about Wenchang's history and culture. • Puqian Old Street: With a Southeast Asian style, the street is lined with arcade buildings. You can admire the exquisite wood and stone carvings, taste local snacks like Zaopo Vinegar, and feel the historical charm. Food Recommendations • Wenchang Chicken: One of Hainan's "four famous dishes." White-cut Wenchang chicken has yellow skin and white meat, and is rich but not greasy. It is delicious when paired with a special dipping sauce. • Baoluo Noodles: Rice noodles served with dried beef, peanuts, sesame seeds, and other ingredients in a delicious broth. The noodles are smooth and refreshing. • Coconut Chicken: Wenchang chicken stewed in fresh coconut juice. The chicken is tender, and the soup is sweet and clear. It can also be served with various side dishes. • Zaopo Vinegar: A sour and spicy appetizer made with fermented rice wine vinegar as the soup base, along with vegetables, animal offal, and crispy bones. • Coconut Cake: Made with fresh coconut meat and glutinous rice flour. It is sweet and delicious, with a rich coconut aroma. Accommodation Options • Near Gaolong Bay: There are many seaside hotels and resorts, such as the Hilton Wenchang, where you can enjoy beautiful sea views, convenient transportation, and a variety of dining options nearby. • In the city center: Cost-effective accommodation close to attractions such as Wenchang Confucius Temple and pedestrian streets, with convenient transportation, such as the Wenchang Weijia International Hotel.
