This summer vacation, I'm only taking my kids to one place: Lingshui!

Save the money you'd spend in Sanya and get double the happiness! This trip completely won me over to Lingshui! Who says family island trips have to mean crowding into Sanya? Isn't neighboring Lingshui just as amazing?! Fewer crowds ✅ Stunning views ✅ Tons of activities ✅ And most importantly—super budget-friendly💰 Here’s my itinerary from Wanning → Lingshui → Sanya! You're welcome! 🏖 Itinerary Highlights D1: Straight to the marine kingdom! Chartered a car from Wanning to Lingshui, checked in, and spent the afternoon + evening at Happy Ocean World! Carousel rides, shows, and the highlight❗breathtaking fireworks! D2: Immersive marine interaction day! More fun at Happy Ocean World! Today’s theme: Feeding frenzy—penguins, belugas, dolphins, turtles, stingrays... Totally worth the 1068 yuan ticket! Up close with adorable animals, capped off with another fireworks show. D3: Fishing village adventure + cute animal encounters! Morning: Beachcombing and crab trapping 🌊 (Highly recommended! Guided tour + hands-on activities = super fun!) Afternoon: Chartered car to the Tortoise Farm → Evening: Dragon fruit picking (night-blooming, perfect timing!). D4: Satisfied and off to Sanya~ Chartered a car from Lingshui to continue the journey! 🏡 Accommodation For Happy Ocean World → Close your eyes and pick Hyatt Lingshui! The hotel has exclusive access—perfect for recharging between fun. My package: 4 days/3 nights at Hyatt with breakfast + 4-day park tickets + 4-day mini train access! Just over 2000 yuan! (500+ per person! What more could you ask for?) For Monkey Island/Daidai Island → The Westin Lingshui is more convenient! 🚙 Transportation Wanning → Lingshui & Lingshui → Sanya: Booked a Blueprint Dreamer minivan for 400 yuan—comfortable and affordable! Hotel → Beachcombing spot: ~20 yuan by taxi, 10-minute ride. Beachcombing → Tortoise Farm → Fruit picking: Half-day chartered car for 300 yuan—efficient for scattered attractions! 🌈 Kid-Friendly Activities Happy Ocean World: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Allocate at least 2 days! Tons of rides, interactive fun, and mind-blowing fireworks! Off-season emptiness = pure joy! Beachcombing & Crab Trapping: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Immersive fishing village experience! Full of catches (tiny fish/crabs) + knowledge (guided tour) + fun (paddleboarding/crafts)! Tortoise Farm: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gentle giant tortoises to pet and feed—so therapeutic! Adorable marmots and pigeons too, a must for animal lovers~ Monkey Island & Daidai Island: (Didn’t go this time, but last visit was great) Teeming with baby monkeys🐒, ultra-cute!
