Cities & counties

Lingshui

Lingshui is the Li autonomous county on the southeast coast, between Wanning and Sanya. The profile dates the county to 610 and the autonomous county to 31 December 1987. It gives about 1,128 km², and about 65 km up to Sanya.

Coast and island

Perfume Bay and Clearwater Bay are the beaches people book by name. Nanwan monkey island is the offshore stop on this stretch. Li, Han and Miao communities live in the county.

The same profile calls Lingshui an early national base for southern breeding. That is farmland, not a beach ticket.

How to arrive

Lingshui is an east-ring stop between Wanning and Yalong Bay, a short ride from Sanya. The east expressway crosses the county too. Check 12306 for the train that day.
