Detailed itinerary and hotel recommendations for traveling to Sanya, Hainan at the end of April.

I went there in early April. The itinerary was also a 7-day free trip. I was pretty lucky and had a very fulfilling and happy time. Let me first introduce our arrangements for your reference (my husband and I are economical, you can make other arrangements based on your consumption).

Preliminary preparation: Group purchase accommodation in Sanya Bay on Qunar.com (budget hotel 120 per night); group purchase tickets for attractions on Qunar and Lashou.com (select Sanya as the city), some of which are purely ticket-based. Yes, some of them are with the group, you have to see clearly. Essentials: sunscreen, sunglasses/hat, swimsuit, slippers/beach shoes (men can wear hotel slippers directly to the beach, women can bring their own beautiful slippers, buying them over there is unsightly and expensive); toiletries Choose to bring your own or use a hotel map according to your own preferences (or clarify the relative directions of major tourist attractions online in advance, after all, you will feel confused when you first arrive in a place)

Stay at:

If you need convenient transportation, it is recommended not to live in Wuzhizhou (it is the best place but also the most remote attraction, and it takes a long time to get to the city and other attractions). It is recommended to choose a sea view room in Dadonghai. Dadonghai has a better view than Sanya Bay. You can group buy hotels online at Qunar or Lashou. The hotels priced at 500-1,000 yuan are very good, and there are pictures on them. You can make group purchases online. If you are not satisfied with the room viewing, you will not spend money. Lashou online support has expired. Refund for unspent items.

Play: You need to clearly identify the location of the attractions on the map before making arrangements.

Recommended attractions and ways to play:

Yaluida: We bought a group purchase online at Lashou, the full price was 170 yuan, and our group purchase was 88 yuan (pickup and drop-off included with the group, usually at 7 a.m. Get on the bus and return around 4 p.m.). Yaluda recommends taking a group tour because it is relatively large and there are many roads. If you go there for the first time, you might get lost. The tour guide of the group we followed did not force us to buy anything. He introduced us to the shopping spots when we passed by and left when he saw no one was buying. There are expansion activities in Yalaoda, which are quite thrilling and you can participate in them. What’s very interesting is that the photos taken at the gate will be inadvertently taken by people at the attractions, and made into a wall calendar, which will be hung there when you arrive at the service area. For 15 yuan a piece, of course you can choose whether to buy it or not, and when you pass through the Xingfu Gate We will also take photos of each/pair of tourists and hang them up in the service area.

Wuzhizhou: Someone from our unit has been there and said that it was very interesting to participate in diving and seafood barbecue, and they didn’t want to leave after eating. (It’s a pity that we didn’t go there last time and chose Queen’s Bay opposite. Everyone felt like they were on a pirate ship when diving and barbecuing in Queen’s Bay).

Nanshan Temple: Most successful people want to learn about Buddhism, but it is worth a visit for those who are pious. (We did not go, but chose to go to Tianya Haijiao)

Tianya Haijiao: The Wealth Stone "Southern Sky Pillar" is located in this scenic spot. This attraction is mainly for fun at the beach, taking some photos of "Tianya", "Haijiao", "Haibannantian", coconut grove, etc. The entrance ticket is 120 (including tram). We listened to the salesperson on the bus. I got off the bus in the town further from the gate, and then contacted someone to pick me up. It was more interesting to take a motorboat to the seaside and go around the ends of the earth (100 yuan per person). In the afternoon, I accidentally entered the scenic area through a side door and played for 2 or 3 hours, haha.

I have never been to other scenic spots, so I can’t introduce them to you. Another regret of this trip is that I have always wanted to find a place to fish by myself for a day, but I have never found it.

Hot spring: I don’t know if the end of April is suitable. Haohanpo Hot Spring is the best. The water from other hot springs is transported from here.

Leisure:

I usually come back at 4 or 5 o'clock that day after traveling. In the evening, you can go to the beach with your lover to lie down and rest, hold a big coconut, take a walk, and enjoy the sea breeze. . Buy seafood in the First Market and then go to Chunyuan Seafood Plaza for processing (only processing is done here. There are also many seafood shops opposite this square that sell seafood with processing. They will attract you to consume one or two items at a low price, but other items are not. It's very expensive, so I feel like I've been ripped off after one meal.

) If you want to eat well, just go for a walk. The transportation is very convenient, and the bus is only 2 or 3 stops away. It is also worth mentioning that those people move very quickly. You cannot nod easily. You have to be optimistic and convinced before nodding to buy. When we were buying shrimps, we encountered a lot of ice in the shrimps. The man said they were live shrimps. There were many things around and it was difficult for us to get close. The boss quickly picked up one and threw it down. "Look, they are all moving, so they are not alive." My husband The person who said he bought it quickly packed it into a bag. I just couldn’t believe that someone who came out of the ice could still be alive. Finally I squeezed in and took a closer look. It was obviously dead.

The Sanya Duty Free Shop near Dadonghai Luhuitou Park is absolutely overcrowded and worth a visit.

Honggang Market: Fruit wholesale. You can go there in the afternoon before leaving to buy some more fruits and ask him to pack them in a box and take them home and put them in the refrigerator to eat slowly, or give them to relatives and friends. (Fresh large coconuts, the juice is delicious; the mangoes are super big and the small mangos are very sweet; the quality of papayas is super good, although they are available in Chongqing, but they are not of the same grade; Lianwu has a lot of water, but it cannot be stored for a long time. It is not recommended. Take it home; jackfruit is not delicious, it doesn’t have the feeling of fruit but is very sweet; also mention Baoluo rice noodles, others said it is delicious, but my husband and I found it unpalatable after eating it, and it is not as good as our Chongqing rice noodles. Eat. )

It is worth mentioning that when we were wandering around the Honggang market, we saw a tea wholesale shop owned by a beautiful short-haired beauty. The good-quality white-bone Kuding sold for more than 30 yuan. (There are two grades in supermarkets. The better grade is more tender. The stalks are not black, but milky white and look like buds. I don’t remember how much they sold. The lower grade stalks are black. We bought them in the supermarket at that time. The price was 44 per tael.), so I bought some from her and took them home to drink and give away.

Wanghao Supermarket: I’ve heard people say that the stuff inside is cheap, so it’s not bad when you go in. It’s also relatively expensive, but slightly cheaper than outside. It is not recommended to buy dried seafood products to take home. We bought them and made them later, but they were not delicious. Other dry products can be made according to your own preferences.
