Favorite attractions

According to Trip.com Group, water-themed playgrounds and theme parks are favorite destinations for those traveling with children in summer.

In Hainan province, Sanya Haichang Fantasy Town, which stands alongside picturesque Haitang Bay, attracts locals and tourists with its free admission and beautiful coastal scenery at night.

Visitors watch free parades in the evening, with performers from China and overseas dressed as creatures such as polar bears and sea horses.

Wang Yuanyuan, the scenic area's brand manager, said the ages of its visitors range from 20 to 45, and most of them are parents with children. Numerous young people also visit the venue with their boyfriends or girlfriends.

They experience attractions such as the 88-meter-high Eye of Sanya Ferris wheel, which offers stunning aerial views of the coastline. An entry fee is levied for such amusements.

"The summer tourism boom has attracted more visitors from outside Hainan, with the fantasy town filling a vacuum in the city's nighttime economy," Wang said.

"We're confident in the market for theme parks and amusement parks in Hainan, which is a popular destination for parents traveling with children."
