What to do in Sanya in winter?

Foreword

Go to Sanya in the relatively off-season. We are in the off-season after the National Day (air tickets are cheap), because the climate in Sanya is warm in winter, and people from the north are also starting to travel south. Nowadays, many foreigners can be seen on the beaches with more public places, mostly Russians, and there are also quite a lot of northerners!

The one closest to the airport is Tianya Haijiao (back in the days when I was very happy when I saw airplanes as a child, and the planes flew overhead). It is recommended to visit Nanshan Temple on the same day. The sunset scenery at Tianya Haijiao is very beautiful. It’s beautiful. Many people who take wedding photos come here to make an appointment. Tickets for the scenic spots are purchased online for about 75 yuan. You don’t need to buy tickets for the scenic spots (you have to walk on your own in the end of the world). The whole walk only takes an hour and a half while walking and playing. I am the younger brother. We drove here, so I felt that time passed quickly while walking and chatting. I didn’t buy anything to eat in the scenic area. I felt that I had to prepare some water and food when I went out. Generally, food in scenic spots is more expensive, but I heard that the fruits outside Tianya Haijiao are relatively cheap! When you enter the Tianya Haijiao gate, there is also a sea and land amphibious vehicle from "A Good Show", which is quite interesting!

The following is an introduction to Nanshan Temple. It is best to go to Nanshan Temple early in the morning. Only when you go there can you feel the prosperity of Chinese Buddhism. At the foot of Nanhai Guanyin is the seven-story hall. You have to queue up to go up. The scenic area is relatively large. Big, it is recommended to buy tickets within the scenic area. We bought a package ticket. The tickets are for the vegetarian buffet in Yuanqilou, which costs more than 200 per person. Speaking of which, I have to say that the vegetarian food here is delicious! Be sure to experience it! I won’t go into details about the specific attractions to visit. I will only write down the general guide and small details to pay attention to. I will post some other photos! Speaking of photos, remember to bring a selfie stick! ! !

It is recommended to choose five-star hotels in Yalong Bay during the off-season. Marriott, Hilton, and Sheraton all have special rooms (with morning buffets) that are very cost-effective. Those with children can also choose children's water sports and amusement rides. Some reservations will also give you a sea tour package (with free pick-up and drop-off) and free photography (5 free photos at a time). The beach behind the hotel is very beautiful and the sea water is very clear! This is related to the fact that Sanya has always been positioned as a tourist city, with good environmental protection and good air quality. Local people like to live a slow life (if you drive yourself, please be careful to drive slowly). You can see many electric motorcycles, and most of the buildings are not high. It is suitable for retirement and relaxing here! Let’s talk about going to sea.

I have to say that there is a routine about going out to sea. The free ones are only on the first floor and only provide lunch boxes, which will be boring. Basically, those who get free tickets will definitely spend another 150 yuan to buy a free activity space, buffet, free fruit drinks and karaoke. Fishing is free, diving has a disposable breathing mouth for 60 yuan per person, and deep diving must take photos, which costs an additional 300 yuan per person. The happiest thing about going out to sea is taking beautiful photos! Let’s remember to take selfie sticks. I almost take a selfie stick every time I travel. Ask where you go to the sea (many of them don’t go to the island). The quality of the Dadonghai Sea is worse, and people say it’s more fun on Wuzhizhou Island!

There is a public beach here at Dadonghai. My phone ran out of battery and I didn’t take many photos. I only found a photo of Dadonghai on the Internet. You can come and take a look when you have time

This time let’s talk about Sanya’s food! Speaking of food, we must not forget our "think tank" - classmate Lin Ming. Lin Ming is a local who grew up in Sanya, and like us, he is a foodie who loves to eat. He knows the food restaurants in Sanya by heart. So every time we visit a scenic spot, Lin Ming can recommend to us nearby food. Here is a guide to local food that we think is very delicious.

Gangmen Noodles is the most unique local delicacy in Sanya. It contains large pieces of fresh fish cakes, and the soup is rich and delicious. It is also topped with peanuts, dried shrimps, bean sprouts, green onions and pickled cabbage, which makes it appetizing. , absolutely delicious.

Back in Sanya City at noon, there are more delicious things. The first lunch that classmate Lin Ming recommended was seafood. Many friends who came to Sanya said: Sanya First Market is the most densely populated market they have ever seen. Some friends who have not been there are curious: What exactly is this market? What a place it is.

In fact, it is just a farmer's market. If there is any difference from the vegetable market where everyone usually buys vegetables, I personally summarized it. First, it has a long history. It has been established for more than 40 years. It has been the earliest simple and extensive farmer's market. , has developed into a complete market in various categories such as vegetables, non-staple food, fruits, seafood, and meat. 2. There are complete varieties of seafood. With the development of Sanya's tourism industry, the first market has become the market with the largest variety of seafood in Sanya and the fastest updating speed in order to meet the needs of tourists. 3. The surrounding functions are complete. The market is surrounded by a seafood processing street, specialty snacks, handicrafts, clothing, and specialty products. It can be said to be a "universal" market.

Of course, among the many functions of this market, the most core one is still seafood. When people are afraid of the sky-high price of seafood, this place has led a revolution in the way of eating seafood, allowing diners to enjoy it. A relatively "controllable" way to participate in the purchase and processing of seafood makes the verb "eat seafood" affordable and down-to-earth. As the saying goes, "A plate of shrimps in Qingdao can be eaten in Sanya." Next, we walked into the market and took a stroll.

Here, you can feel the most authentic smell of Sanya, with the fishy smell of the sea and the humidity of Sanya. How many people are here, struggling for their livelihood.

When my classmate Lin Ming and I walked into the market, I asked: Why not go to a seafood restaurant to eat, get it right in one step, and don’t have to worry about it yourself. There is no way that poverty has limited his imagination. Of course, I still like markets with fireworks. Not only can I chat with the locals, but the prices are also good. The most important thing is that I can experience the fun of shopping for seafood myself. The seafood in the first market is all caught on the same day. You can’t fool anyone with the freshest and live seafood. If you really don’t know how to choose seafood, you can ask someone from the seafood shop you want to process to accompany you to help you choose. They are the most knowledgeable, just like me. There are so many people coming here to buy seafood.

In the market, there are many types of snails. This one has neat patterns on its body and looks very good-looking, it is called flower snail, but I was already thinking that it would be very delicious if stir-fried with chili peppers. Method, in the eyes of a foodie, any seafood creature you see now has become a delicious dish haha.

The next most important thing is to choose a reliable seafood processing store to ensure that the value of the seafood in your hands is enhanced. Friends who have seen me before must remember that when I came to Sanya two years ago, even though I was the only one, I still bought a table of seafood with a sense of ceremony. The processing store I chose at that time was Sichuan Xiaowu. In fact, it was just Because of the word Sichuan, I feel that the taste of Sichuan food is more in line with our appetite. If we dare to post photos of Sichuan, the taste must be the same.

At that time, I just said that I would give it a try. I still remember very clearly that the first dish that was served was the spicy stir-fried Hele crab. I didn’t expect that the first bite I took was already addictive. It captured my heart and taste buds deeply. Spicy soup, plump crab meat, the crab meat still maintains its original freshness, and the soup on the crab shell is spicy, salty and refreshing, and you can't help but also enjoy the soup on the shell. Don't let it go.

So this time, after buying a lot from the No. 1 Market, we didn’t hesitate and went directly to Sichuan Mustache’s house at No. 123 Xinmin Street. We have been thinking about that one for two years. the taste.

The small store could no longer accommodate the diners who came here to visit. When I looked back, I suddenly realized that the larger store opposite had already been taken over by the boss. Sichuan Mustache No. 1 Market The flagship store suddenly appeared in front of us. The new flagship store has a large space and the facilities in the store are more complete. The entire three floors can be used for reception. It is getting bigger and bigger. It can be seen that the reputation is still quite good~ It was already 8pm when we went there There are more, but still overcrowded.

There were only a few people in the nearby seafood restaurants ready to close, but diners like me who were waiting for a table still chose to insist on waiting, ha! Probably all for the old Sichuan flavor in my heart!

The lobster was cooked with garlic paste. In fact, if the lobster meat is not cooked well, it will easily become old. In that case, the smooth and elastic taste of the lobster meat will be lost. The garlic made by this restaurant is open and the heat is just right. The meat of the lobster is fresh and tender and soaked with a light garlic aroma. It is delicious~

My favorite Pipi shrimp is also called by the locals. The shrimp is a big one I bought at the first market. I chose the salt and pepper method. It tastes crispy and salty without affecting the original flavor of the shrimp meat. It is very enjoyable.

The spicy stir-fried crab is a must-have at Xiaozhu’s house. Because I wanted to eat crab meat, I chose the plump flower crab this time. It still tasted the same as before, but the presentation was better than before. It's more refined and taller.

The last one is this fish in sour soup, which is made of grouper. Originally, I planned to steam it as usual, but the store clerk introduced to us that their family has launched a new fish in sour soup. It is exclusive to all the seafood restaurants in the First Market, and the taste is very good, so I took the advice decisively and replaced steaming with sour soup. This exclusive fish in sour soup really has its own unique taste, a bit similar to the one in Thailand. It tastes like lemon fish, but it also combines the essence of our Sichuan pickled fish. In short, it tastes very good. Compared with steaming, you can not only eat meat but also drink soup. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. I highly recommend it to everyone. If you come here, you can have it. The dishes to try.
