Sanya Travel Guide

I've been in Sanya for six days and here are my honest recommendations based on personal experience|||1: If it's your first time in Sanya, don't plan your itinerary too full. Visiting 2-3 attractions a day is enough, otherwise it's too tiring! 2: Choose either Yalong Bay Paradise Forest Park or Yanoda Rainforest Cultural Tourism Zone; West Island or Wuzhizhou Island, they are similar. 3: Don't bring too much luggage to the duty-free shop. If you do, don't keep carrying it around. There's a free luggage storage on the 3rd floor of Area A in the duty-free shop. It's recommended to store your luggage first for a more relaxed shopping experience. 4: If you want to try diving and sea activities, I recommend going to Yalong Bay. There's a package for 598 yuan, which I personally tried. It's a great value for money, including private car transfer, seafood lunch, and unlimited photos. 5: Learn to bargain when letting wild photographers take pictures on the beach, you might get an unexpected price. 6: I don't recommend diving in Wuzhizhou Island. During the peak season, you have to queue for an hour for a 10-minute experience. It's not recommended to play the projects, they are expensive. Just take some pictures and check in is enough. 7: Don't go diving/sea activities in Dadonghai, the water quality there is the worst. It's recommended to go to Yalong Bay, the water quality is very good. 8: Don't rent a small electric donkey to check in at the attractions just to save money. It's super sunny and tiring. Try to choose bus + car rental for check-in, especially in summer, avoiding heat and sun protection is the first priority. 9: Don't go to the toilet alone, and don't pay attention to people who take the initiative to talk to you, especially girls. 10: If you get seasick, don't rent a boat to go out to sea. If you go to Wuzhizhou, take seasickness medicine half an hour in advance, because it takes 30 minutes by boat to really get to Wuzhizhou Island. 11: Haichang Fantasy City only opens at 4 pm. The main attraction is the Ferris wheel at night. It's worth a try, especially for couples! Must go! 12: Don't rely on taxis for the whole journey. The attractions in Sanya are scattered. Pure taxi expenses are huge. It's more recommended to choose a combination of taxi + bus + bus. Moderate choice of self-driving. 13: Don't take a black car near the airport! At least they will slaughter you 30+ 14: Don't just ask passers-by for directions, most likely they are also tourists. Try to ask the shop owners on the street for directions. If you're shy, you can buy something. 15: Wear sports shoes/white shoes/anything is fine when going out. Wear slippers when going to the beach. Don't wear high heels, they're uncomfortable for your feet and you can't play in the water at any time. 16: Don't rent a small electric donkey to go to Coconut Dream Corridor during the day. It's too sunny and stuffy. You need to wear a helmet. It's best to go to Coconut Dream Corridor for a ride + sunset photos at 6-7 pm. Don't go too early. 17: Don't take a taxi to the duty-free shop. The location of Haitang Bay Duty Free Shop is very biased. The round trip taxi fare is 200+. You need to book a duty-free shop bus at the front desk of the cooperative hotel one day in advance. The round trip is free. 18: I personally don't recommend going to Sanya Romance Park. The tickets are expensive and not worth a second visit. You might as well go to Atlantis Water World, an ocean-themed amusement park! It's more fun than Sanya Romance Park. 19: Dadonghai is located in the city area, with convenient transportation + moderate prices + many check-in attractions, more suitable for students + budget travelers. 20: Yalong Bay has the best water quality, many sea view rooms and high cost performance, but the price is much higher than Sanya Bay and Dadonghai. I hope this can help sisters who come to play in Sanya👭
