'''Wanning,''' or in local [[Hainanese]] dialect as '''Ban Ning,''' is a [[county-level city]] in the southeast of [[Hainan Province]], [[China]]. Although [[Administrative divisions of China#Ambiguity of the word "city" in China|called a "city"]], Wanning refers to both the county seat and to the entire county as a whole. The county-wide area has an estimated population of 65,871 (2006).

==History==
Wanning ({{lang|zh-hans|万宁}}) first got its current name during the Southern [[Song dynasty]], after being renamed from Wan'an ({{lang|zh-hans|万安县}}). Wanning was later renamed back to Wan'an in 1143 until its name was changed to Wanzhou ({{lang|zh-hans|万州}}) in 1370, but subsequently reverted to its present name after the Communist takeover in the 1950s. It was promoted from a county to a city on August 5, 1996.

==Economy==
[[Tourism]] plays a vital role in the city. Famous for its tropical scenery, Wanning proper lies approximately half an hour's drive from the beach and has several five-star hotels. The city of Wanning produces [[coffee]], [[black pepper]]<!-- [[Hainan#Agriculture]] explicitly states black pepper for the region in general but this may be other pepper -->, [[rubber]], [[rice]], [[banana]]s, and [[sugarcane]].

== Transportation ==
Wanning is served by the [[Wanning Railway Station]], part of the [[Hainan East Ring Intercity Rail]].

==Climate==
Wanning has a [[tropical monsoon climate]] (Köppen: ''Am''), falling just short of a [[tropical rainforest climate]], as it is hot and very rainy most of the year. Only January and February have rainfall barely below {{convert|60|mm|in|sigfig=2|disp=or}}. The rainfall is more pronounced during the monsoon season, which runs through late June to early November. At times, it can become cold with temperatures between 5 and 8 degrees Celsius.
