East Coast Ring Road Six-Day Tour

Stop 1: Holiday Beach & Xiuxiu Beach
Start your morning with a jog along the six-kilometer golden shoreline of Holiday Beach, experiencing the same “race track” used for the 6th Asian Beach Games Sanya 2026. Then head to Xiuxiu Beach, the training base for Hainan’s sailing and windsurfing team, where you can watch colorful sails and even try your hand at windsurfing.
Stop 2: Leiqiong Global Geopark
Leave the coast for the mountains and explore Malingshan Crater, one of the world’s best-preserved dormant volcanic craters. Walking between volcanic rock and rainforest, you’ll feel like you’re touching a million-year geological legend. From the summit, gaze down at the majestic volcano and the vast sea and sky.
Stop 3: Qilou Old Street
Qilou Old Street is home to the largest and best-preserved arcade complex in China. Its mottled walls and elegant carvings hold the nostalgia of generations of overseas Chinese. Order a cup of old-salt lemonade, try the fried pork ribs, and visit the Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum — in motion and stillness, you’ll capture the cultural soul of Haikou.

Stop 1: Fenjiezhou Island
Head south from Haikou to Lingshui. Fenjiezhou Island is half lush rainforest, half turquoise sea and coral. Dive in to find colorful corals and tropical fish surrounding you, wrapped in pure azure. At the marine theater, watch dolphins leap in graceful arcs and sea lions charm the crowd. This close encounter with ocean spirits embodies the harmony between man and nature that the 6th Asian Beach Games Sanya 2026 champions.
Stop 2: Tanka Cuisine Experience
Don’t miss Lingshui’s authentic flavors. Try a bowl of Lingshui sour noodles, rich with toppings — sour, spicy, and fresh, it instantly awakens your taste buds. Then sample a pot of creamy Tanka pufferfish porridge, where the hearty aroma of fishing life holds the most genuine warmth of the east coast.

Stop 1: Riyue Bay Surfing
As the training base for China’s national surfing team, Riyue Bay is known as the “golden coast of the waves.” Grab a surfboard, learn prone paddling and pop-ups under professional coaches, and experience the thrill of battling the waves as you get knocked down and rise again. When tired, sit at a beachfront coffee bar, order a cup of Xinglong coffee, and watch the wind chase the waves as the surf crashes — adrenaline and relaxation blend here.
Stop 2: Shimei Bay Serenity
Leave the energy of Riyue Bay for the gentle tranquility of Shimei Bay. Stroll along the six-kilometer fine sandy beach, and chance upon the Phoenix Nine-mile Library facing the sea. Push open the door, take a coffee in hand, and listen to the soft rustle of coconut palms and the whisper of waves. Let the sea breeze calm your restlessness and sink into Wanning’s unique slow time.

Stop 1: Opening Ceremony / Competitions of the 6th Asian Beach Games Sanya 2026
The journey’s climax begins here — step into the competition venues and immerse yourself in exciting matches. Watch athletes from across Asia run and leap on the sand, feeling the thrilling moments of this continental sports gala.
Stop 2: Games Souvenir Stops
Beyond watching, stroll along Sanya Bay’s Coconut Dream Corridor. As the sun sets, pick up official mascot merchandise. When night falls, enjoy a drink at a music bar in Dadonghai, or shop for gifts at Haitang Bay Duty-Free City. This journey across Haikou, Lingshui, Wanning, and culminating in Sanya for the 6th Asian Beach Games Sanya 2026 ends on a warm and perfect note.
