General presentation
Lingshui and Diaoluoshan
Lagoons, islands and rainforest connect the southeast coast of Hainan with its inland mountains.
The discovery of Lingshui and Diaolooshan revolves around Nanwan Monkey Island, Qingshui Bay and Nanwan Macaques. The stay thus alternates between urban life, the coastline, forests and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Nanwan Monkey Island
A peninsula reserve is home to rhesus macaques in tropical coastal vegetation. The season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; fragile banks and possible local restrictions must also be respected.
Place indismissible
Qingshui Bay
A long, quiet beach borders clear waters on the southeast coast of the island. Season, wind and water levels greatly alter the experience; fragile banks and possible local restrictions must also be respected.
Place indismissible
Macaques de Nanwan
The peninsula protects a large population of rhesus macaques in contact with the mangrove. An early-in-the-day visit allows to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
Place indismissible
Forêt tropicale de Diaoluoshan
Multi-storey wet vegetation covers the interior slopes of the massif. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked prior to departure; water, adapted footwear and hourly margins remain useful outside the cities.
