If you were to spend the winter in Hainan, where would you choose? Sanya is definitely the first choice, with the best supporting facilities and scenery, but the prices are also the most expensive. Haikou has the advantage of being a provincial capital, but the temperature in winter is low and prices are not cheap. So which one is the best?
In my opinion, the most cost-effective place to spend the winter in Hainan is Ledong. It has the same climate as Sanya, but the housing price is more than half. If you are bringing your wife or friends to escape the cold and spend the winter, this is the most suitable place. .
Ledong is located in the southwest of Hainan Province, bordering Sanya and at the 18th golden latitude north. There are four cities with the best climate in Hainan: Sanya, Lingshui, Baoting, and Ledong, and Ledong has the lowest price among them.
The climate of Ledong is similar to that of Sanya. They both have a tropical monsoon climate, with long summers and no winters, but warm and pleasant winters. Strictly speaking, the winter temperature in Ledong is 1-2 C lower than that in Sanya, but the highest temperature is also 27 C, so it can be ignored. However, the summer in Ledong is cooler than that in Sanya. The average temperature in July is 25 C-32 C. If you want to settle down for a long time, Ledong is obviously more suitable.
Compared with Lingshui County, Ledong is located on the west coast and has a drier climate. It does not experience the humid phenomenon on the east coast and is less affected by typhoons. This kind of climate is suitable for northerners who are used to dry climates. Southerners may choose Lingshui more.
We all know that Sanya has good air quality, but Ledong is actually even better. It is surrounded by mountains and sea, with mountains and hills accounting for 70% of the total area. It has virgin forests such as Jianfengling National Forest Park and Jiaxi Nature Reserve. Compared with the bay, the mountain scenery is the main label of Ledong.
In the past few years, Ledong County has had a good day ratio of 99.5 and a forest coverage rate of 65. When you open the window every day, you will be greeted by fresh air. If you walk to the suburbs, you will see green tropical vegetation. I take a walk in the park and dance in the square every day, and my body feels much stronger.
The disadvantage of Ledong is that it lacks sea view resources. The county town is far from the sea and it takes an hour to drive to the sea. Therefore, outsiders who come to Ledong to retire or spend the winter often choose areas near the sea.
Generally speaking, Longmu Bay, Longqi Bay, and Jiusuo New District are the three most commonly chosen places. These three places also have the best environment, the best sea views, and the most convenient transportation in Ledong County. place.
Longqi Bay is currently the most popular area in Ledong. Many new properties have been developed, attracting a large number of foreigners to settle here. The bay has a beautiful sea view, and there is a seaside right outside the community. There is a swimming pool inside the community, and the environment and supporting facilities are very complete.
Because they face to the west, Longqi Bay and Longmu Bay have the most charming sunsets in Hainan. Every night when you open the window, you can see the golden sea and sky. This kind of experience is not available in cities such as Sanya.
Jiusuo New District is also the first choice for spending winter in Ledong. The advantage is that the transportation is relatively developed. Ledong Station is located in the city, making it convenient to travel to Sanya and Haikou. Moreover, there are a large number of northerners gathered in Jiusuo New District, so the diet has also changed. Northeastern restaurants can be seen everywhere, and soy milk and fried dough sticks are also available in breakfast shops. The locals are not exclusive either. Tourists from all over the world gather together and enjoy themselves every day. The folk customs are simple and harmonious, like a big family.
Of course, the biggest advantage of Ledong is the price. Whether it is street restaurants or newly opened real estate prices, they are much cheaper than Sanya. The current housing price in Ledong is around 14,000 yuan. It will be more expensive in areas near the sea and cheaper in the county, but it is still a low value in Hainan as a whole.
Taking into account Hainan’s purchase restriction policy, the down payment ratio for buying a house is relatively large, so housing prices are still the first consideration for ordinary people for their retirement.
Another disadvantage is that the urban construction is relatively average, the medical level is not good enough, and the sea view development is not mature enough. Compared with Sanya and Haikou, it is more like a town. Of course, this is also the reason why its prices are low.
Of course, if you covet Hainan’s climate and don’t have high requirements for high-quality bays and supporting facilities, Ledong is still extremely suitable. Sunny beaches, a dazzling array of tropical fruits, first-class air and environment, Ledong is still very desirable.
