Hainan's Perfume Bay

Location: Perfume Bay (Xiangshui Wan) located in Lingshui. Getting there: Only 70 minutes from Sanya airport. Perfume Bay is a quiet but wonderful beach area to relax and spend a holiday. Along the bay there are four or five great hotels, including Marriott and Rezen...The crowds are fewer than Sanya and the hotels are cheaper. Here you can enjoy the big waves and soft sand...it's a perfect place to escape the heat and enjoy the large sea breeze and soak yourself in the warm sea water. #xiangshui

A Quieter Part of Hainan

#beachlife Xiangshui Bay is just over an hour from Sanya and if you are looking for a wilder, more untouched feel of nature then come here. The fishermen still come out in an evening with their nets to fish, bird life and flowers are aplenty. We have stayed in the Xiangshui Marriott before and although lovely, it's expensive. This time, we found an apartment a third of the price with the Marriott next door (see photo). We love this area, my husband can surf, my son plays in the waves and I can enjoy relaxing on the beach. We rent a car to come here, it definitely makes it easier. Although the train station is nearby and Didi is available. Come here for a peaceful, beach experience.

#sanya #hainan #5starresort Merry Christmas from Sanya Hainan! We are staying at a beautiful resort and have enjoyed the scenery and amazing weather the entire time here. Hope eveyone has a nice holiday! #merrychristmas

Lingshui Perfume Bay, a paradise for surfers

After finishing the buffet breakfast at the hotel in the morning, we checked out and left Wanning. Lingshui is not far, just over 30 kilometers away. Dad booked the Raffles Indigo Hotel, which is quite new and has a strong sense of design. The best part is that they let us check in at just after ten in the morning. The items in the room also have a modern feel, mostly a combination of metal and genuine leather, giving a sense of both hardness and softness. The Perfume Bay is right behind the hotel. The hotel staff said that every day many people come to surf, and if interested, we could go have a look. Hainan is really hot, so we usually wait until almost five o'clock before daring to go to the beach. Arriving at Perfume Bay, I felt that the beaches in Hainan are really more beautiful one after another. The open sea, the gentle beach, the waves rolling in one after another towards the shore, the mountains, the clouds, the sea... it's so captivating. As expected, we saw quite a few surfing enthusiasts come here for training, and those faintly visible figures on the water are mostly the tide players. Dad and my sister, of course, went swimming in the sea, while my brother and I waded in the shallow water. Dad said that in a few years we'll come back here and let my sister learn to surf, which is pretty cool. Perfume Bay

Lingshui Perfume Bay is a great spot for checking in

Lingshui Perfume Bay The Legend of Perfume Bay Once upon a time, an old lady named Ah Xiang had a dream. In the dream, an old immortal told her that the immortals in heaven were so captivated by the beauty of this place that they decided to draw down a celestial spring to benefit the people. By merging the six fragrant springs of the heavenly palace with the six white springs of the mortal world, the people who drank this blended water would not only become fair and tender, but their bodies would also emit a fragrant scent. The immortals asked the Thunder God and the Lightning Goddess to turn the six fragrant springs into rainwater and descend it onto Niuling. The six fragrant springs merged with the six white springs beneath Niuling, and now the time has come, the task of opening the Perfume Spring was entrusted to her. As long as she could remove the six agarwood trees sealing the spring's mouth, the people would be able to drink from the celestial spring. Upon waking, Ah Xiang took up her hoe and went to Niuling to dig up the agarwood trees. When she dug up the sixty-sixth agarwood tree, a fragrant clear spring gushed out from the ground. At that moment, the immortals arrived at Niuling on auspicious clouds, and they transformed a large lake on Niuling, where the six fragrant springs converged. This lake was later called 'Perfume Lake'. Perfume Lake is close to the sea, and the lake water seeps into the sea, making the water in this bay fragrant as well, hence the name 'Perfume Bay'. Stepping on the fine and soft sand of the beach, unlike other beaches, the sand of Perfume Bay makes a 'giggle' sound to welcome the sweet arrival. It is said that because the waves continuously polish the sand here, the sand is fine, and the grains are of high quality. When feet tread on the beach, it makes a squeaking sound, earning it the reputation of 'the singing beach'. Address: Navigate to 'Lingshui Perfume Bay Resort Area' Tickets: Free
