Hailing Island was selected as one of the top ten treasure islands in China with the reputation of "the first in the South China Sea and the waterway of the Silk Road"; It is rated as one of the top ten most beautiful islands in China, with "Pearl of the South China Sea" and "the perfect combination of sunshine, beach and seawater". Hailing Island, one of the top ten most beautiful islands in China and one of the top ten treasure islands in China, has always been desirable.
But when I really arrived at Hailing Island, I was cheated, because I found that the serviced apartment I had booked before was located in Baoli District, seven or eight kilometers away from the central area of Hailing Island. If there is no car, I can only take a bus to Downhill Town, Dajiaowan and Che Feng. However, the bus system in Baoli District is underdeveloped, with only 3 1 bus, but this kind of bus usually runs every hour.
In addition, you can only use Didi or hitchhiking, so it is suggested that if you don't drive yourself, try to arrange it in a hotel in Downhill Town.
This is the hotel apartment where I lived. In the distance is the beach, which is about ten minutes away.
As a tourist, my impression of Hailing Island is divided into three parts: Shili Silver Beach formed by Evergrande Agile Poly, Dajiaowan area (central area) and, of course, a mangrove wetland park.
This is just a rough sketch, but as you can see from this sketch, these places are actually far away. If you don't drive yourself, it's still very troublesome to swim all at once!
In addition, because mangroves are not in the same direction as Poly, Evergrande and Xiapo, I didn't know anything about them before I went this time, so I won't say much here for the time being.
Let me talk about my actual travel experience first!
If you are going to road trip, it goes without saying that it is very convenient anyway. There are still many parking lots on the island, but not every tourist has the conditions to drive by car, especially those from other provinces who can't drive or can't drive at all. What should I do?
Of course, Didi is ok, and hitchhiking is also feasible! After all, the island is not particularly big, and two days is enough if you have a car!
But there are always some people who can't drive and don't like taking taxis. So in view of this situation, I will talk about my suggestions based on my personal experience.
If it is inconvenient for a family to travel together, you can book a hotel or homestay not far from the seaside in advance, and then you can start the "squatting" mode!
Generally speaking, Poly Shili Yintan, Evergrande and Agile all have their own seaview apartments and coastlines, which are more suitable for married tourists with children. Most of these places are hotel-style apartments, where you can cook by yourself. If you are traveling for the whole family, you can consider these places.
Relatively speaking, I recommend Poly Shili Silver Beach, mainly because it was developed earlier, so the supporting facilities are relatively complete. There are food markets and convenience stores nearby. If you don't plan to go anywhere else, you can find an apartment in Poly and "squat" for a few days!
Just compared with Dajiaowan, the sand here is not the best!
This time, the weather in Hailing Island is not strong, it rains every day, and basically the sun has never been seen.
Because my father loves taking pictures, just staying in one place can't meet his requirements, so we went to Dajiaowan, which is equivalent to the central area of Hailing (at least I think so). On this side of Dajiaowan, there are also beautiful beaches and sea views. More importantly, the sand and water quality here are better than Shili Silver Beach.
At the same time, the traffic here is much more convenient than Shili Silver Beach, so if a family goes to travel or a few friends come to play, but they don't want to cook and can't drive, Dajiaowan is almost the best choice.

At the same time, there are battery cars for rent. If you don't have a car, you can take a battery car to visit nearby Mawei Island and Beiluo. It should be reminded that Mawei Island is a good place to watch the sunset, but now Beiluo is closed for maintenance and traffic is a problem, so if you want to go to Beiluo, you'd better drive yourself or "ride your beloved scooter".
PS: The sand in Beiluo is really amazing!

Tips:
If you are a big family and want to cook by yourself and see the sea view, you can consider Poly, Evergrande and Agile near Shili Yintan, because they mainly make hotel-style apartments, and personally prefer Poly, mainly because it developed earlier and the surrounding facilities are relatively complete.
If you want to visit more, get together with a few friends, or have a photographer like my old father, I suggest you consider the area around Dajiaowan, where transportation and food are more convenient. In addition, it also includes Dajiaowan, Sea Paradise, Luozhou Park, Windmill Mountain, Fangsheng Terrace, Boardwalk with Sea View, Ice and Snow World and other attractions. The scenic spots are relatively concentrated, and it is convenient to go to Beiluo or Mawei Island from here.
