General presentation
Wanning
Surfing bays, tropical plantations and forested hills occupy the eastern coast of Hainan.
To understand what Wanning is, you have to look at Riyue Bay, Shimei Peninsula and Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, the coastline, forests and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
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
Riyue Bay
A beach exposed to the houles has become the main surf site in Hainan. Season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; fragile banks and possible local restrictions must also be respected.
Place indismissible
Shimei Peninsula
Two bays, islets and dense coastal vegetation surround a built-up peninsula. An early-day visit allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the site, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
Garden
Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden
Cocoa, coffee, pepper and many tropical plants are cultivated in a research garden. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked before departure; water, adapted shoes and time margins remain useful outside the cities.
