Snap' Description

Discover Houhai Village (also known as Tenghai Fishing Village), the bohemian capital of China's contemporary surf lifestyle. Bounded by a calm, shallow crescent bay perfect for catching long beginner waves, this old fishing enclave has transformed into a colorful hub of surf hostels, graffiti lanes, and beach-side DJ decks. It offers an incredibly raw, youthful alternative to Sanya's manicured luxury resort zones.

💎 Insider Tips

⚡
The crescent inner bay features incredibly flat sandy bottoms and gentle, consistent breaks, making it the single best spot in China to learn surfing.
⚡
Wander through the narrow inner alleys to find amazing local coffee pop-ups, handmade swimwear boutiques, and fresh Hainan fruit smoothie bars.
⚡
Houhai is famous for its beachfront bonfire night parties; things don't get lively until after 10:00 PM and run into the early morning.
⚡
The local seafood market near the old harbor docks sells incredibly cheap fresh catches; local canteens will stir-fry them for a small fee.
