Fenjiezhou Island is a small, pretty island located in the South Sea off Lingshui County. It is only an hour drive to Sanya. It looks like a beauty floating in the sea, so local fishermen nicknamed it "Sleeping Beauty Island".

The eastern part of the island features sheer cliffs and white waves and foam dashing over the rocks on the shoreline. On the western side, there is a small beach and you will find everything more relaxed and brighter with clean white sand and palm trees. The water here appears diaphanous and sometimes incandescent when the sun shines brightly.


About a two-hour drive from the crowded beaches in Sanya, Hainan Province, Fenjiezhou Island is a better choice for tourists who want clear seawater, soft sand and various species of tropical plants. Sea turtles are the island's auspicious animal. Each year around the Mid-Autumn Festival, numerous sea turtles swim ashore to lay their eggs on the sandy coast. The island also has a reputation among experienced scuba divers who prefer its underwater environment to that of Sanya. Tourists can take a shuttle bus at the city bus terminal in Sanya or Haikou to Fenjiezhou Island.
