Hainan Lingshui Nanwan Monkey Island Travel Guide & Day Tour

Nanwan Peninsula is located along the east coast of Hainan Island, about 1.5 hours’ drive from Sanya in the east coastal of Hainan Island, and steps from the Xincun Fishing Village, a very authentic fishing village, No. 1 recommendation for local tours on Hainan Island. The island is well-known on Hainan Island because of the monkeys living there.

Nanwan Monkey Island is a state-protected nature reserve for macaque monkeys in Lingshui county on the south coast of Hainan. While termed an island, the reserve is actually on the Nanwan peninsula bordering the Xincun harbor on the east and south. It is accessible by China’s longest over-water cable car from Xincun (the fishing village), spanning 2,138 meters (7,014 ft).

The Nanwan Monkey Islet was established in 1965 as a natural reserve for Macaca mulatta(the name of the monkeys living on this island) and now is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the east coast of Hainan Island with about 2,000 monkeys.
