Boundary Island (Fenjiezhou, Lingshui)
An island off Niu Ridge (Niuling), named for lying right on the north–south climate divide of Hainan Island — often cloudy and rainy north of the ridge, often sunny to the south; on clear days the island's ridge reveals the marvel of a "two-tone sea," overcast on one side and bright on the other

An island off Niu Ridge (Niuling), named for lying right on the north–south climate divide of Hainan Island — often cloudy and rainy north of the ridge, often sunny to the south; on clear days the island's ridge reveals the marvel of a "two-tone sea," overcast on one side and bright on the other. The island's Dolphin Bay Marine Theater stages dolphin and sea lion shows, its diving and seabed-walking programs are clearly graded, and the hilltop Mazu Temple and a cliff café are worth a look too. As Lingshui County's flagship island, crowds are lighter than at the islands in Sanya Bay, making it a fit for holidaymakers chasing experience and value for money.
Getting there: High-speed rail, Lingshui Station, then transfer to the pier
