Walk the mythic 'End of the Earth' coastal rocks where ancient Chinese emperors sent their exiled scholars, then discover a living Hainanese fishing village and enjoy a private fresh-catch seafood lunch that no restaurant menu can replicate.
What to expect
Tianya Haijiao's enormous granite boulders, inscribed with imperial Chinese calligraphy, stand where the South China Sea meets the horizon — a site so remote that banished Tang Dynasty poets called it 'the edge of the world.' Your private guide brings its 1,300-year literary history to life. From there, you enter a working fishing village where traditional Li-minority stilted houses line the waterfront and elderly fishermen still mend nets by hand. Your guide selects the freshest catch for an intimate private lunch cooked tableside by the village family. A brief stop at a local market before returning to port completes the day.
Good to know
Tianya Haijiao entry is approx. CNY 81 per person (usually included in private tour price — confirm at booking). Morning departure recommended to reach the village before the catch sells out. Allow 5–6 hours; comfortable return before standard all-aboard times.
