Sanya 7-Day Thunderstorm Pitfall Avoidance Guide! Save 1000 RMB after reading this

Sanya is really fun! But there are so many hidden pitfalls. We stepped into a big one right after getting off the plane. We only realized it after checking the guides later. This note summarizes all the pitfalls we encountered during our 7-day trip. Without a guide, the chance of stepping on traps is very high 😭 Here are some suggestions for those about to set off! 🚫【Transportation Pitfalls】 📍Airport: Sanya Phoenix International Airport Never take illegal taxis by the roadside! The distance from the airport to Sanya Bay is only about 10 km, but they charge you 30+ RMB and take detours 🙄. Isn’t Didi or metered taxis better? 🌴【Attraction Pitfall Avoidance Guide】 ❌Nanshan Temple Address: Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone, Yazhou District Opening hours: 8:00-17:30 Ticket: 122 RMB/person Those outside saying "low-price tours to see Guanyin" are all scammers! They will take you to a beach where you can only see the Guanyin statue from afar, with a very poor view! ✨Yemeng Promenade Stunning Sunset Spots Three great navigation points: 1️⃣ Phoenix Bridgehead Park (locals all go here) 2️⃣ Wedding Photography Base (fewer people, beautiful scenery) 3️⃣ Beautiful New Coast (the sunset is absolutely amazing) 🏝Xidao Island Must-Knows Address: Xiaoqigang Pier, Sanya Bay Road Opening hours: 8:00-17:30 Remember to buy the 25 RMB fishing village shuttle! You can get on and off anytime. The 35 RMB scenic area shuttle only goes to the end once, which is boring~ 🚲Tianya Town Tips Address: Tianya Town, Tianya District It’s recommended to rent an electric bike to explore! 60 RMB per day for unlimited riding. Coffee shops are mostly similar, don’t be fooled by photo spots at trendy stores. 【Money-Saving Tips for Activities】 🎢Yalong Bay Forest Park Address: No.1 Yalong Bay Road, Jiyang District Buying combo tickets online is more cost-effective! Buying individual activities is ridiculously expensive 😭 🤿Wuzhizhou Island Diving Be sure to bring your own goggles and waterproof bag! You know the prices on the island... Don’t waste money on semi-submarine sightseeing boats, you can’t see the fish clearly at all! 🛍Night Market Shopping Guide Bargaining start at First Market Night Market: 3 items for 100 RMB! Don’t be shy, just bargain, sisters! ⚠️Final Important Reminders: 1️⃣ Rent cars through big platforms! Trip.com car rental is very reliable 2️⃣ Ignore all roadside touts 3️⃣ Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! Important things said three times Hope everyone has a great time~ Sanya is really beautiful! Just make sure to prepare well ٩(˃̶͈̀௰˂̶͈́)و
