West Island, Hainan, China


4.0 (149 reviews) Thursday: 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM Spent Ranking #25 in Sanya National Parks

A pleasant excursion, if a little crowded

The main attraction of Xi Dao is the adjoining small Niuwang Dao (island) sporting a massive eponymous golden bull on its summit. A pleasant excursion with some good views, fresh sea air and a busy open air food stall on the little island. The main island appears to lack much charm and promotes many activities which didn't seem to attract any punters. Ferry leaves just West of Sanya airport. Make sure to get there by mid-morning. When we returned at 3:00pm, the outbound ferries were heaving

    Good day/half day trip
    A speed boat whisks you to the West Island which is gradually being developed for leisure and tourism. It was very popular with the Chinese, I don't recall seeing any other westerners. You can hire bikes to see the island - we went for the buggy option. There are pleasant walks to take with lovely ocean views and a busy beach area with parascending and jet skis. There was a low price seafood buffet that won't win any culinary awards but kept the hunger at bay. You can also SCUBA dive there.

    Beautiful but I felt " lost in translation"
    I was staying at Club Med Sanya and this excursion was proposed by the club, it is a beautiful Island although the sea has got mainstream which prevent to bath in some points. They do not speak any English.
