Sanya first time travel guide

The weather in Sanya can be said to be "summer all year round, and rain turns to autumn." Everyone has learned it in junior high school. Sanya has a tropical maritime monsoon climate, and the weather is hot all year round. Let’s first take a look at how to get there in Sanya for the first time.

1. The best month to visit Sanya.

Sanya is located in the tropics, with long summers and no winter. There is little change throughout the year, and the annual average temperature is around 25 to 28 degrees. Personally, I think the hottest months in Sanya are actually May and June. Sanya at this time is so hot that it makes you doubt your life.

On the contrary, everyone thinks that August, the hottest month, is much cooler than May and June. The coldest months in Sanya are January and February, when the temperature in Sanya can be around 20 degrees. Although it is not really cold physically, it is not suitable for swimming in the sea. Therefore, if you choose to travel to Sanya in winter, it is best to choose a hotel with a heated swimming pool.

2. When is the off-season in Sanya?

Every year in the off-season from April to June, or from September to November (except for the "National Day" Golden Week), there are fewer tourists during this period, and air tickets and hotels are much cheaper than in the peak season. Not only is the travel experience more Comfortable, travel to Sanya is also more cost-effective.

3. About rain

Because of Sanya’s special climate, rain is very common. The rain in Sanya basically stops for a while, and rarely stops for a whole day. The shortest shower I have ever seen, which lasted about two minutes, the clouds drifted away and so did the rain. The rain in Sanya is very willful. It can stop whenever it wants, so don’t worry too much. Bring a parasol when going out on rainy days. As long as there are no typhoons in Sanya, it will basically not affect your travel plans.

4. Accommodation options

One is to live in a family apartment or a B&B, and the other is to live in a hotel.

Advantages and disadvantages of apartments and B&Bs: Apartments and B&Bs are much cheaper than hotels, and there are many room types, especially suites, which are very suitable for large family travel. The disadvantage is that there are basically no services, and the apartments generally do not provide breakfast, so it is recommended to choose apartments and B&Bs in bustling and convenient areas.

Hotel: Although they are both hotels, the hotel brands, geographical locations, and hotel grades are different, and the prices are also very different. The advantage of staying in a hotel is that the hotel has a beautiful environment, considerate service, and relatively complete facilities. In addition to standard gyms and entertainment centers, some hotels are equipped with their own private theaters and entertainment centers. In addition, the private beaches of first-line hotels perfectly avoid the noise of going to public beaches. Some people say that staying in a good hotel is a kind of enjoyment, and it is true. In terms of disadvantages, the only disadvantage is the high price.

5. Sanya Four Seas

Sanya Bay: Sanya Bay is one of the earliest bays developed for tourism in Sanya, close to the urban area and the airport. In addition to convenient transportation, there are many accommodation options. There are both five-star hotels and B&B apartments in Sanya Bay. The accommodation prices range from a few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, which can meet the travel needs of different tourists. Moreover, Sanya Bay also has the famous Coconut Dream Corridor, which is an excellent place to watch the sunset in Sanya.

Yalong Bay: Yalong Bay is the most famous tourist resort in Sanya. Here you can enjoy the best beaches and seawater in Sanya, so it is also a gathering area for international five-star resort hotels.

The hotels in Yalong Bay are divided into first-tier and second-tier hotels. Most of the first-line resort hotels are international big-name hotels. The hotels enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yalong Bay and private beaches. The second-tier resort hotels in Yalong Bay are not facing the sea. Although the hotel does not have its own private beach, there are usually battery cars to transport guests to the public beach in Yalong Bay, so the prices of second-tier hotels will be much cheaper than those of first-tier hotels.

Dadonghai: Dadonghai is an extremely down-to-earth bay. It's close to the city, bustling, and has free public baths.

There are many B&Bs and hotels in Dadonghai, and the accommodation prices are basically the same as those in Sanya Bay. However, due to the geographical location of Dadonghai, the window views of many hotels are mainly city views, river views, and harbor views. There are relatively few hotels near the sea. Therefore, when booking a hotel in Dadonghai, pay special attention to the location of the hotel and make sure the hotel has sea view rooms.

Although there are relatively few hotels near the sea in Dadonghai, accommodation and dining in Dadonghai are relatively cheap and there are many choices, especially in terms of dining. Whether it's spicy Sichuan cuisine or Northeastern stew, Western or Chinese food, you can find it here.

Haitang Bay: Haitang Bay is also a new resort in Sanya. The hotel and entertainment industries have developed rapidly and have now become one of Sanya's must-have resorts.

Many of the hotels in Tangwan are newly built, and they are all advanced and complete in terms of garden layout, architectural style, room area, and hardware facilities. Compared with other old Tangwan hotels that have been open for more than ten years, it is more in line with the aesthetics and needs of modern people.

6. Travel methods

Bus transportation: undoubtedly the greenest and most economical way, but the scenic spots in Sanya are relatively remote. If all scenic spots are traveled by public transport, it will take a lot of time on the way to and from the scenic spots. Moreover, the temperature in Sanya is high, and waiting for the bus under the scorching sun is an extreme test of physical strength.

Take a taxi: This will be a big expense. For example, Yanoda, Betel Valley, Dadongtian, Wuzhizhou Wharf, Haitang Bay International Duty Free City and other places. Relatively far from the city center. The only one-way taxi fare in these places may start at 100 yuan, and the daily round trip and going to other attractions are indeed a big expense.

Renting a car: is always my most recommended way to travel. From an economic perspective, the cost of renting a car for an average family economy car (including insurance) is about 150 per day, which means renting a car for a day is actually equivalent to the cost of a one-way trip to a far-away scenic spot. Compared to this, renting a car is more affordable. Moreover, renting a car and driving yourself has many advantages. It is not only extremely free, but also comfortable. Especially for families with elderly and children, it is recommended to make a note of renting a car and driving yourself.
