Use our full Qionghai travel guide as the base and adapt it to 14 days. Keep the city's three signature attractions as the backbone; fill the rest with neighborhood walks, food markets, and an easy day trip.
Arrive & Jiaji Lanes
Settle in the county town; the century-old Xizai lanes run down to the Wanquan and orient the whole stay.
- qionghai xizai old street
Jiaji Markets
A slow market day — Hainan's four famous dishes on corner tables, dried seafood stalls and the tea shops of the old quarter.
- qionghai city markets
The Wanquan by Boat
A daytime cruise up the river past bamboo groves and water wheels; the late-afternoon light on the water is the county's quiet signature.
- qionghai wanquan river
Boao — Forum Isle
The forum has met on Dongyu Island since its founding in February 2001; conference halls open between sessions, with the estuary parks alongside.
- qionghai boao forum site
Lecheng & Shamei
The old Lehui temple courts on the little isle, then the riverside paths of Shamei village next door.

- qionghai shamei village
Longshouyang Farmland
A full day in the 10,000-mu (about 667-hectare) farmland park — bicycles between rice rows, farm cafés and sunset from the viewing bridge.
- qionghai longshouyang farmland
Tanmen Port
Dawn unloading at the port, then a slow loop of the harbour lanes where nets are mended and the day's fish dry on racks.
- qionghai tanmen port
South China Sea Museum
A full day at the 2018 museum — the Southern Song wreck of Huaguang Reef No. 1, recovered ceramics and the hand-copied route books.
- qionghai south china sea museum
Red Detachment Memorial
The memorial at Jiaji's edge documents the women's platoon formed in May 1931 with factual exhibits; the riverside walk after is calm.
- qionghai red detachment memorial
Guantang Springs
A springs day — soak in the morning, read in the shade after lunch, and let the fortnight's pace catch up.
- qionghai guantang hot springs
Baishiling
The granite hill climbs to around 328 metres; paths wind past banyans and lookouts over the plain, with the sea faint on clear days.
- qionghai baishiling
Xinglong Plantation (Neighbouring City)
A declared Wanning day — about an hour south, the Xinglong tropical botanical garden laid out from 1957, coffee and cacao along shaded paths.
- qionghai xinglong plantation
Haikou (See the Haikou Pages)
A declared Haikou day, about an hour north by HSR — arcade streets and the harbour quarter; the full plan lives on the haikou pages.
- haikou arcade old streets
Markets & Departure
A last morning for dried seafood, coconut sweets and a farewell bowl of Jiaji duck, then the HSR or a Boao flight out.
- qionghai city markets
