As China’s population ages rapidly, the phenomenon of "migrant elderly" has garnered increasing academic attention. This study, taking W Community in Sanya City as a case, analyzes the lifestyle of migrant elderly from the perspective of livelihood capitals. The research finds that the migrant elderly effectively utilize natural, physical, human, social, and financial capitals to create a high-quality lifestyle. However, they also face challenges such as unstable social relationships and health risks. The paper suggests that government and society should enhance policy support, community development, and service optimization to improve the well-being of migrant elderly and promote social harmony and sustainable development.
