南灣猴島生態旅遊區

Very fun, beautiful, a must-see place in Hainan

We took a two islands tour. The second part, Dai Dai Island, is perfect (beautiful beach, nice walking, viewing points, relax; scenic bus ride) - we really recommend this. Unfortunately, se were disappointed with the first part, Monkey Island (small area, not much possibilities to walk, we did not expect monkeys to be so agressive, many of them are injured, one hop on us despite we followed all rules), do if you are a little afraid of monkeys, consider not going there.

I visited Nanwan Monkey Island with moderate expectations, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to the hype. Coming from South Africa, where wildlife is abundant, I was expecting a more immersive monkey experience. However, the island's monkey population was surprisingly sparse – I've spotted more monkeys in my backyard!The park was underwhelming, with a lackluster "show" featuring a single monkey and a man, followed by a sales pitch for Chinese calligraphy. The whole experience felt disjointed and lacking in substance.My visit coincided with a quiet day, which only added to the sense of desolation. The park felt deserted, with a noticeable absence of energy or excitement. Overall, I left feeling underwhelmed and slightly disappointed.Rating2/5 starsPerhaps my expectations were too high, but considering the island's reputation, I had hoped for a more engaging and memorable experience. If you're a wildlife enthusiast/ looking for a unique experience, lower your expectations

It was ok. I would say the main benefit of this beach is that it's facing the open sea, so you don't have to be looking at buildings. It's also not so dirty, it seems that it's being cleaned. Most of the walking paths are closed, swimming is forbidden, and the shops/infrastructures look abandoned.

Very exciting cable car **. Enjoyed looking at monkeys and had fun.
