The best answers about Hainan travel, Sanya travel, Hainan travel guide

Self-guided travel has always been the first choice for many people when traveling, but you have to do everything by yourself. For a very unfamiliar area, it is difficult for senior travel friends who are not "experienced in many battles" to make adequate preparations. Especially for Sanya, a tourist destination that people both love and hate, ripping off customers, deceiving, fooling, and cheating have almost become synonymous with Sanya tourism, so today I carefully sorted out my experience just back from a self-guided tour in Sanya and shared it with XDJMS.

Air tickets and hotels:

A few friends and I were a group of 5 people. From the beginning, we held the belief of "traveling to Sanya on a budget", so everyone tried their best to do their best. Although it is a self-guided tour, the prices of hotels in various tourist destinations are set very high. Standard rooms in three-star hotels range from a few hundred to a thousand, which is a huge expense in five days. Therefore, in terms of accommodation, the self-guided tour group is The first choice, plus the two-way ticket is only two to three thousand yuan.

Thanks to Sissi’s discovery of China Merchants Bank and Ctrip’s “Extraordinary Sanya Five-Star Value Tour” activity, a double flight, a five-day free trip to a five-star hotel, the price is only over 2,000, which is 5 more than Ctrip’s other 5-star hotels. Daily free travel is nearly NT$1,000 cheaper, plus there is an immediate discount of NT$500 per order. With the discount, we are bound to get it. However, Lao Qi did not have a China Merchants Bank credit card, but fortunately it was only early August and the event ended on September 25. Everyone urged Lao Qi to apply for a card immediately, and finally caught up with the event. We chose the HNA Resort Hotel in Yalong Bay. It was the first time we stayed in a five-star hotel and it really lived up to its name, haha!

Equipment:

1. The sun is very strong, so you must prepare sunscreen with SPF30 or above! Sea water is very harmful to your hair, and hotel toiletries are of very low quality, so shampoo and conditioner are also a must! The others are swimsuits, sun umbrellas, sun hats, sunglasses, and beach slippers

2. Enough cash! You must swipe your card for accommodation and large shopping malls, and leave cash in small shops and for entertainment expenses around the beach. It is difficult to find ATMs there, and many stores do not have POS machines. Cash is required near the beach

< p>3. If you want to eat seafood, be sure to bring some norfloxacin and coptis! Anti-allergy medicine, painkillers, band-aids, eye drops, and antiseptic cotton balls are also essential.

4. Finally, there are local maps and attraction introductions that are necessary for travel

Because when signing up for a group tour, in addition to being 500 yuan cheaper per order, each person also comes with a "Very Sanya" gift ticket. gift pack. Travel manual, Vichy travel skin care 6-piece set, and a beach storage bag that we didn’t expect. Hehe, so we didn’t put much thought into preparing the accompanying items this time.

Estimated savings from value gifts: more than 100 yuan/person

Tour:

Sanya has so many famous attractions that 5 days is not a long time It's not short, we can't go there one by one, so we picked a few of the most popular attractions.

. Centipede Island:

It’s worse than I expected because there are too many people. 2 hours of sightseeing is more than enough without swimming. The consumption on the island is relatively expensive, a bottle of drink is 10 yuan, a serving of cold noodles or ramen is 20 yuan, and a coconut is 12 yuan. There are a lot of people swimming. It costs 10 yuan to rent a locker, 10 yuan to take a shower after swimming, and 40 yuan to rent a large umbrella. We didn't swim there because we thought the water was not very clean. In short, it was not as good as expected.

Nanshan Temple:

Super "cheating", the entrance fee is 150 yuan, and if you buy incense, it ranges from 150-300 yuan for 3 sticks of incense, but it is really big inside, and you usually need to take a tour You can go around by car only, 20 yuan/person, and the price of meals is similar to that of Wuzhizhou. I like the double-decker sightseeing bus I took when I went there. It hops on and off on the road, which is very interesting.

Tianya Haijiao:

It is said to be a forbidden place for couples, so my husband and I didn’t go to other places. I heard it’s pretty good.

Nantian Hot Spring:

The fish spa pool inside is quite interesting. When we soaked in it, there were many small fish biting our bodies. It was itchy but very comfortable. By the way, it was inside There are more Russians and Japanese.

Outdoor activities (Queen's Bay):

Personally, I think it is the most worthwhile one-day trip to Sanya. In the early morning, the tour leader took us to Queen's Bay for snorkeling and swimming. The water here is much cleaner than that of Centipede Island, and there are fewer people. When snorkeling, you can see a lot of beautiful corals and abalone, wow! Therefore, it is highly recommended for those who like swimming to swim here. We had BBQ at the fisherman's house for lunch. There was a lot of seafood and it tasted good. In the afternoon, the team leader took us fishing. Unfortunately, the boat was too rocky and it was easy to get seasick. I couldn't stand it, so I chose to go fishing on the platform. However, the fish in the pond are too cunning compared to the fish in the sea, and in the end everyone returned without success.

Eating, drinking and shopping:

Seafood:

The first market has the most and the most seafood Okay, but the prices vary greatly and it's not easy to bargain. We brought a spring scale with us, but the management here is very strict, and the market also has fair scales, so there is rarely a shortage of weight. The stall owners are all very enthusiastic and honest, and we are not very good at choosing. He teaches us and prepares the dishes for us. All the dishes are fresh and plump.

Fruits:

Mangoes and coconuts in Sanya are very cheap. Mangoes are divided into 1 yuan, 2.5 yuan and 6 yuan per catty according to their size. Coconuts are also priced at 2 yuan, 3 yuan, and 4 yuan according to size. Papaya is also good. We found papayas on the roadside for 3 yuan each.

Eating:

Because the travel brochure provided by China Merchants Bank contains many preferential merchants with CMB credit cards in Sanya, and you can basically enjoy a 20% discount, so whether it is eating, drinking or shopping, we Saved a lot of money. Especially the Japanese restaurant on the last day, it goes without saying that it is fresh, the portions are generous, the taste is even more authentic, and there is a 20% discount. In addition, we paid with a credit card, so there was no need to consider cash. The problem is, everyone finally quit after eating it, haha.
