I am going to travel to Sanya during the National Day. I don’t plan to sign up for a group tour. I will eat and live there by myself. How can I save money?

Sanya, a carefully compiled guide

Sanya is a very suitable place for vacation and travel. Nature combines the most pleasant climate, the freshest air, the warmest sunshine, and the clearest blue. The most beautiful sea water, the softest sandy beach, the most charming beauties, the most delicious seafood...are all given to this southernmost seaside tourist city in China. For friends who are going to Sanya, if it is convenient, print a copy and carry it with you for reference.

This "Sanya Self-guided Travel Guide" consists of seven parts, namely: Preparation; Accommodation; Transportation; Travel; Food; Shopping; Others;

1. Preparation - Preparation before departure for your trip to Sanya

The sunshine in Sanya is beautiful and the beaches are beautiful, but remember to wear sunscreen. Sunscreen with SPF30 or above is a must, and you can bring soothing after-sun repair lotion, moisturizing spray, whitening mask, etc. Shampoo and conditioner are also necessary. Sea water is very harmful to your hair. If the ones provided by the hotel cannot meet your requirements, you can bring your own.

When you arrive in Sanya, you must go into the sea. You must prepare your swimsuit, swimming goggles, and earplugs. Bring a change of clothing (the temperature difference between day and night is huge, long sleeves are a must), a sun umbrella, a sun hat, sunglasses, and beach slippers.

Medicines should also be prepared. Anti-allergic medicine, cold medicine, anti-diarrheal medicine, painkillers, band-aids, eye drops, sterile cotton balls, etc. Also, if you want to eat seafood, bring some norfloxacin and berberine or bezoar detoxification tablets. Don’t forget your cell phone, camera and charger. You should bring your Walkman, paper and pen, and prepare some snacks and food you like.

The most important point is to remember to bring enough cash. Except for accommodation and larger shopping malls, credit cards are difficult to use in Sanya, and there are not many ATMs.

Must bring items when going out (list)

1. Each passenger’s ID card, air ticket, hotel booking confirmation, Sanya travel information;

2. Cash (Bring more, generally use cash except for accommodation); credit card. Recommendation: Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Card, which does not charge handling fees for different places or interbank; 3. Mobile phone (don’t forget to pay before leaving), and charger, DV and charger; if it is DC, you need to bring a large-capacity memory card, it is recommended to bring A 512 MB SD card. If the memory card is not full, do not return it;

4. Change of clothes and swimsuit;

5. Bring a small bag that can be slung in front of the body Yes, your wallet and mobile phone can be placed inside and taken with you to prevent them from being stolen. Don’t carry too much cash, and put it in several cards.

6. Paper; pen; can record something;

7. Medicines: anti-allergic medicines; anti-diarrheal medicines; cold medicines; painkillers; Bondi; sterile cotton balls, etc.;

8. Sunglasses and sun hats are recommended: there are many beautiful hats for sale there, you can buy them after going to Sanya; anti-UV parasols (many hotels also have their own umbrellas, you don’t need to bring them);

9. Things that girls who love beauty should bring: high SPF sunscreen (recommended: Xinbi SPF30), after-sun calming lotion, moisturizing spray, whitening night cream, whitening mask, makeup remover, wet wipes, feminine products, washing Hair lotion; hair serum (essential, sea water is very harmful to hair, and the ones provided by the hotel are not suitable for everyone’s hair type);

10. Prepare a large travel bag ELLE (preferably cloth It is foldable and easy to carry when not in use) as a spare. I believe you will be able to use it when you come back.

2. Accommodation - Hotel Selection

Sanya has three main bays: Dadonghai, Sanya Bay and Yalong Bay.

Yalong Bay is the most beautiful bay. The water color is layered and the beach is whiter. You can also pick up shells. There are many sand crabs at night. However, the cost of Yalong Bay Hotel is relatively the highest. It is far away from the city (more than 20 kilometers), making shopping, eating and traveling inconvenient. But you can still consider staying here for 1-2 nights. If money allows, you can stay in Yalong Bay directly, or you can consider staying in a thatched house on Wuzhizhou Island for one night.

Yalong Bay is dominated by five-star hotels, and the beach and environment are very good. However, apart from the restaurant in the hotel, there are no other dining facilities in the bay, and eating is relatively expensive. Taking a taxi to the city costs 60-70 yuan for a round trip.

Although there is a free shuttle bus in the hotel, the meal times are staggered. Dadonghai was the first to be developed, but the planning in the area is chaotic. The sea water and beaches are not as good as Yalong Bay. Hotel prices are cheaper than Yalong Bay, and dining is more convenient. Sanya Bay is a beach that the Sanya Municipal Government has invested heavily in greening and renovating in recent years. This is the Coconut Dream Corridor mentioned on the Internet. The beach is flatter than that of Yalong Bay and the sand grains are finer (this is how the sand is toward the blue sea and blue sky from Haiyue Square. In the opposite direction, the beach has begun to muddy, and the government is currently working on its treatment). You can also watch the beautiful sunset, but the seawater quality is not as good as that of Yalong Bay. The best hotel to choose is a beachfront hotel or a hotel with a private beach. There is no need to spend extra money to live in a sea view room.

In fact, apart from sleeping at night, I don’t spend much time in the room. When I am interested in leaning on the railing and looking at the sea, I have already thought about running directly to the sea. In addition, there are many old hotels in Sanya, so it is best to stay in newly built hotels with relatively better hardware facilities.

About the choice between sea view rooms and garden view rooms: If you don’t have too much money to spend, or there are no special reasons, there is actually no need to choose a sea view room. No matter in terms of room area, furniture configuration or decoration style, there are no important differences between garden view rooms and sea view rooms. I hope everyone can spend rationally and make the right choice in this regard. When you stand on the beach, the strong sea breeze invades every part of your body, and you finally understand how wrong it is to look at the sea in the room. The ebb and flow of the tide, listen to its voice, you can only feel it if you get close to it.

About the hotel check-in time and check-out time (12 o'clock): According to the regulations, the hotel check-in time is 1 p.m. and check-out time is 12 noon.

Because it takes at least 45 minutes per room to clean a room in a star-rated hotel. Therefore hotels need to set aside time for cleaning. However, under normal circumstances, as long as the room is not full, guests will not be deliberately asked to check in at 2 p.m., and you can also ask for LATE CHECK OUT until 2 p.m., and the hotel will not charge more money. Of course, the prerequisite is that the room cannot be checked in. Full.

If you hope that MONEY is not allowed (or want to save money), you might as well try a family hotel in Sanya. The family hotels in Sanya are mainly concentrated in Sanya Bay and Dadonghai. The bay of Dadonghai is not only lively during the day and night, but many tourists and citizens like to swim and play there, eat and barbecue at the beach stalls, and enjoy the beautiful scenery at night. And the enchanting fireworks bloom in the night sky, where I feel rich and fulfilling. The sunset in Sanya Bay is the most beautiful. The golden beach and golden sea are so beautiful. The only drawback is that swimming is not allowed. Except for a safe zone designated by the hotel itself, it is recommended not to swim in other places without authorization because there are no safety measures.

It’s hard to say which one is closer to the city. It depends on where you live. Dadonghai is about one kilometer from the urban area, while Sanya Bay starts from the urban area and extends to the ends of the earth. Sanya Bay is two to three kilometers long in the urban area. It is recommended to stay in Dadonghai.

The advantage of Dadonghai is that it is close to the city and is convenient for shopping, eating, traveling and entertainment. There are fireworks on the beach at night, making it quiet and economical.

The family hotels in Dadonghai are very close to the sea, and the transportation is convenient. I recommend a family hotel in Dadonghai to you, "Yehai Fengqingju", which is a 3-minute walk from the sea and has not been open for a long time. The time and decoration services are all in place. The boss is from the Northeast and has a sincere attitude. There is a kitchen where you can cook for free. The boss can also help process seafood for free. There are even washing machines and refrigerators. It feels like home. Reference "Online Search" Learn more about "Yehai Fengqingju"

The boss can also help you introduce the itinerary and price of each attraction. Haha, people are so nice,

3. Transportation:

1. Sanya Phoenix Airport is 20 kilometers away from the city. There is a bus from the airport directly to the city (fare 10 yuan). The taxi price should be controlled at around 30 yuan. The taxi driver who picks you up at the airport will enthusiastically introduce you to the free tours and the great attractions on the way.

Believe that "there is no free lunch", they will trick you into spending money (tickets, meals, shopping, they all have commissions). Remember two things when taking a taxi in Sanya: first, don’t charter a taxi, and second, don’t visit or spend money in any of the places recommended by him.

2. Taxi prices in Sanya are all negotiable, so don’t use a meter. Basically, everything in Sanya city is 5 yuan (with a cap of 10 yuan), 7 yuan from Dadonghai to the urban area, 10 yuan from the urban area to Dadonghai, 40-50 yuan from Yalong Bay to Dadonghai, and no more than 50 yuan from Dadonghai to Tianya Haijiao. Taxi drivers often charge exorbitant prices, so you have to be bold in cutting them. Don't let the hotel doorman call for a taxi. Walk out of the hotel door and stop the passing cars on the road.

3. Drivers in Sanya are famous for earning kickbacks. To tell you the truth, for example, the total ticket price for going to Wuzhizhou Island is 128 yuan per person, but the driver can get a rebate of up to 40 yuan for taking one person there, so if you don’t even pay the taxi fare, someone will take you there. However, they will still give you a decent bargain, and you must resolutely expose the huge profits behind it. On the return trip, since there is no rebate, their asking price is higher. If you really can't afford the price, you can temporarily find a few people to carpool back.

4. Buses should be fully utilized. There is only one main street in the urban area (Jiefang Road), running north to south. You can use this road as the coordinate axis to go to major scenic spots, shopping, and food destinations. Bus No. 202 is very convenient, with many buses (all seats available), friendly conductors and drivers, and cheap (unmanned ticket sales are 1 yuan/person). How to truly experience a city is to take a bus.

5. From Yalong Bay to Tianya Haijiao via Dadonghai, there are also double-decker tourist buses that run every half an hour. The journey from Dadonghai to Tianya Haijiao and Yalong Bay is 5 yuan, and from Tianya Haijiao to Yalong Bay is 8 yuan. It is very suitable for travelers to enjoy the scenery along the way. The fare of the minibus is also less than 5 yuan, but the order is a little more chaotic. In urban areas, you can ride on human-powered tricycles (with a cap of 5 yuan), but it is best not to ride on motorcycles.

6. If you can drive, you can consider renting a car for the whole trip to avoid affecting your mood. Only in this way can you truly travel freely. The biggest advantage of renting a car is that you can adjust your itinerary at any time, buy things as you like without being burdened by luggage, and don't have to be angry or ripped off by the driver.

7. Transportation from Yalong Bay to the city: There are special buses from Yalong Bay to Sanya city. The price is 5 yuan/person. You can take it at the entrance of the Golden Palm Resort Hotel or the Underwater World. Very convenient. Departures every half hour, from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. Along the way, it goes from Yalong Bay to Tiandu, Dadonghai, urban areas, Tianya Haijiao and the airport. It costs 50-60 yuan to hire a taxi to the city, and the return taxi in the city will be cheaper.

4. Travel: Sanya is only suitable for self-tourists, not group tours. The scenery in all places is not much different. It is recommended to only go to Yalong Bay and Wuzhizhou Island, and spend time at the beach with your loved one. Living quietly for a period of time is indeed a very enjoyable thing.

1. The beaches and hotels in Yalong Bay are both good and worth visiting. No need to buy a ticket, just walk along the beach to get in. The beach in Yalong Bay is just beautiful. When you come to Sanya, you don't go anywhere and just stay on this beach every day, and you won't suffer any loss. Swim, walk, sunbathe on a deck chair - be comfortable. When you see a hammock, just play with it, it’s very nice. If you like walking, it is recommended to walk along the beach of Yalong Bay from the Yalong Bay Central Square to the Sheraton Hotel. On the way back, you can pass through the Wanhao Hotel and take the avenue. There are very few people here, and the tranquility and reverie feel like strolling in your own garden.

2. Check the weather before going to Wuzhizhou Island. If there are strong winds and waves, you cannot go to the island. Wuzhizhou Island has clear sea water and white sandy beach, just like the beach in "Summer Tea". The most beautiful scenery of Wuzhizhou Island is at Lover's Bridge. Standing on the shore, you can see the coral reefs on the bottom of the shallow sea. The Sun View Rock on the island is worth a visit, where you can see the endless sea. The blue sky and the boundless sea are connected together, which is very spectacular. If you want to dive, I will recommend you an economical place. You can go to Lover's Bay and Queen's Bay for a one-day outdoor trip. The main ones are sea fishing, barbecue and diving. Wait, it’s economical and affordable.

There is a sightseeing bus on the island, which allows you to travel around the entire island (half of the distance is inaccessible on foot. 80 yuan/person, and a scenery VCD is also included). Wuzhizhou Island is windy, so you need to prepare a jacket! Make the most of your hotel's bathrobes, towels, and slippers. Bring these items with you for sure.

The water sports on Wuzhizhou Island are very complete. The diving is very good, mainly shore diving and boat diving: the price is 350 or 580 yuan per time. There is a **** website that offers very cheap prices. The instructor will teach everyone the theoretical knowledge of diving before diving. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to swim. When diving, the lifting and lowering are controlled by the instructor through the equipment. The banana boat ride is for three people. You need to wear swimsuits, otherwise you will get soaked, and you will be thrown into the sea, but it is safe and someone will save you. It feels like a trip to the "Titanic". The price of the motorboat is 150 yuan/10 minutes. If a boy and a girl are together, the boy should take the initiative to sit in the back, because it is easy to be thrown out from the back, so be sure to pay attention to safety. The price of parasailing is 280 yuan per time. A high-powered speedboat is used to pull up the parachute, and the parachute floats in the air by relying on the rapid progress of the speedboat. (However, if you want to play these projects, you can negotiate the price with the driver, and you can save a lot!!)

3. You can try a self-driving tour. Sanya is probably the most suitable city in China for open-top cars. Rent a car and go for a drive along Sanya’s famous Coastal Avenue Coconut Dream Corridor. Driving along the avenue from south to north, it is so pleasant to listen to the sound of waves lapping on the shore, breathe in the fresh sea breeze, and enjoy the sea view as you move from place to place. The avenue leads all the way to Sanya Bay, which takes about 30 minutes from start to finish. There are also some seafood stalls and resorts along the way. If you are tired, you can have something to eat and enjoy yourself.

4. Friends who want to further understand the life of fishermen in Sanya can choose to go to sea and experience the life of fishermen, which has a unique interest. For specific matters, you can consult the local fisherman. Other entertainment projects are not recommended here. 5. Food: Everyone must remember that you should never eat at cheap food stalls that give you business cards or offer free shuttle service, without even hesitating. If you don’t believe it, just wait until you regret it.

It is recommended to have breakfast at the hotel, lunch at random, and important dinner in the city. Breakfast in Sanya hotels usually ends at 10:30 am, so you can rest assured that you can fall asleep and wake up naturally. At the same time, it is recommended that you try not to eat dinner in the hotel.

An important activity during the Sanya trip is to eat seafood. Start your Sanya food feast trip now:

1. Seafood Processing Plaza for laid-off workers in Youyi Community (dinner option)

Now you can eat cheap and delicious seafood at the "Seafood Processing Plaza" in Sanya! It is recommended that you go there to enjoy a delicious seafood meal. This place is almost a replica of Spring Garden when it was first established, especially cheap and good. Please note that most taxi drivers will pretend to be confused and take you to the "Seafood Food Stalls" on Youyi Road to consume and get kickbacks. The Youyi Community Laid-off Workers Seafood Processing Plaza is a greenhouse with more than 60 food stalls. Choose one of the stalls to process for you. We chose the recommended one with good online reputation **No. 3**. As other netizens said, the proprietress and the young couple are very honest. It was Boss Sun* who took us into the seafood market inside. We choose to buy seafood and vegetables. The seafood there is not clearly marked with price, but the boss ** can help us bargain. Although we only save a few yuan per pound, we are grateful to him from the bottom of our hearts and we can see that he treats us sincerely. We, however, almost save on processing fees. Every time we ask Boss ** to take us to buy seafood, because the seafood he chooses is very good, the fish meat is very tender, there are a lot of crab roe, and the wild vegetables are also very tender. The main way of eating is hot pot. , you can also simply steam or stir-fry seafood. Boss Sun ** only charges corresponding processing fees (stir-fried/steamed processing fee 5 yuan per catty, hot pot 10 yuan for the bottom of the pot, processing fee 2 yuan per catty), which is relatively An economical and affordable way to eat seafood. The key to eating seafood is "freshness". The seafood here is all fresh and of course it tastes great.

I recommend the steamed snails with garlic vermicelli and vermicelli for 8 yuan a pound. Although it is not very big, the meat is very thick. The boss lady is good at cooking and it is very delicious. There are also some fried shells. (Hainanese people call them snails), 6-15 yuan per pound, the fish noodles are the most delicious, the grouper greens are good (steamed), the meat is very fresh, the abalone is also great, and very cheap, 4-8 yuan a piece , based on size, everyone must try it. There are also three-eyed crabs and green lamb crabs that are not big in size and the meat is very tender. You will know they are fresh as soon as you eat them. Maybe the boss will choose. Everything we eat has something good. It is said online that he is a fisherman, so no wonder the seafood he chooses is so good! ! The local vegetables, kidney beans and five-pink wild vegetables are also good.

Remember, guests who live in Dadonghai can go directly to the square and take bus No. 2 for 1 yuan, get off at the intersection of Youyi Road, walk to the intersection, cross the road and walk for 3 or 4 minutes to reach Youyi Community. The laid-off workers have a seafood processing plaza. When dining in Yalong Bay, you can go to the Golden Palm Hotel. Here you can find all kinds of noodles for more than ten yuan, as well as dinners for hundreds of yuan. At 6 o'clock in the evening, you can have a seafood barbecue buffet. Barbecue is also a major feature of Hainan. Many hotels have seafood buffet barbecues. Intime's is pretty good, with a lot of food. It's also very romantic to eat by the pool at night.

In addition, you can also eat local chicken rice in Hainan. It tastes very good and can be found in the small streets where some local residents live. In addition, drink less bottled purified water and drink more coconuts, which are only 3 yuan each. Red coconuts are also cheaper than water and more abundant than water. Flower crabs are used to make porridge raw; Su Mei is best steamed; mantis shrimps can be boiled with salt and pepper or boiled, each with its own flavor; tiger fish can be made into tofu soup with a few peppers, which is delicious and can relieve anger; baby abalone can be used Steam; if you eat lobster, it is best to steam it with garlic paste. Do not use cheese, butter or the like. This will take away the flavor of the lobster and make it easy to feel full, causing you to lose your appetite for the next meal. Various kinds of shells In fact, all snails are similar. Don’t choose the big ones. The bigger the meat, the harder it is and the harder it is to chew. If you pick out the meat and throw it from Dadonghai to Yalong Bay, it will be intact. Can you chew it?

6. Shopping and Gifts When you go to Sanya, you always have to bring something with you when you go back. Most of them fall into three categories: Hainan specialties (snacks), seafood and fruits, and shells. You can buy these in downtown Sanya. Try not to buy them at tourist attractions when shopping.

It is best to buy specialties at large supermarkets in the city. The largest local supermarkets include Wanghao Supermarket and Wanfulong. They are both near Sanya Bus Terminal. You can get there by taking bus No. 202. You can buy some. Snacks and specialties. I feel that coconut cakes are quite delicious. The specialty products include coconut sugar, which is even more delicious. The coconut pancakes are also delicious. Wanghao Supermarket also packs them in cartons for free, which is very convenient.

If you want to buy seafood and fruits, you must go to the "No. 1 Farmers Market". I must remind you to be careful of counterfeit money, overweight and thieves! Just take bus No. 202 and get off at the First Market Station. There are many varieties available, including mangosteen, mango, dragon fruit, and carambola. The price is relatively cheap, but the quality and weight are not guaranteed (it is recommended to bring an unopened bottle of mineral water, so you can check their scale at any time. (enough to weigh two pounds), it is recommended to buy fruits by the box to facilitate shipping.

7. Other details

1. Take it easy on your schedule, it’s a vacation. After breakfast, go to the beach for a walk first, then go sightseeing. At 2 or 3 pm, you will go back to the hotel to rest, then go to the beach to swim and bask in the sun, and then rest again. Then it’s time to go to the city to eat seafood. Come back in the evening. Or take a walk to the beach, it's very pleasant.

2. The humidity at the seaside is very high. Don’t think that clothes will dry quickly if the temperature is high and the sun is good. Bring extra changes of clothing, including T-shirts, shorts, etc.

3. When you have nothing to do, try to enjoy the sun and sea breeze at the beach, listen to music, drink Coke, or surf the Internet. In the evening, you can listen to music, count the stars, and be in a daze on the balcony of your room. Don’t forget to apply a thick layer of sunscreen.

4. The hotel is the best place for vacation. High-star hotels themselves are the best resorts. They all have their own beaches, many service staff, complete facilities, and the garden is like a park, where you can stay for most of the day.

5. As a reminder, when purchasing products, be sure to ask for details, such as who pays for the hotel’s adjustment fund, which is generally not included in the room fee.

However, it is only a dozen yuan. Find out if the hotel provides airport pick-up and drop-off services. In addition, it is best to ask the hotel to include breakfast. (Especially in Yalong Bay, there are few places to eat)

6. Regarding the adjustment fund: In addition to the hotel room price, you need to pay 4 yuan/day (three-star standard), 9 yuan/day (four-star standard), 11 yuan /day (five-star standard). Sanya, Hainan is a beautiful city. Please don’t join a tour group here. It’s cheaper to book a self-guided tour with local merchants, which will give you a perfect vacation. If you like it, give it a try.

The refreshing sea breeze, the warm sun, the beautiful sea water, the delicate and soft sandy beach, I don’t know where everyone will think of after talking about these...but these things can be found in Sanya. This paradise of freedom is waiting for countless freedom fighters to visit. When I ended this journey, I summarized the experience of my predecessors, especially for the future travel friends.
