Things to know before traveling to Sanya

Peak season

The best time to travel to Sanya is from September to April. Autumn and winter in Sanya are warm and pleasant, and winter is the best time to travel to the seaside. In winter, even if the cold snap hits other corners of the earth, you can still wear summer clothes and beach shoes to stroll leisurely on sunny beaches, soak in the warm sea water, eat tropical fruits, and enjoy the romance of the ends of the earth.

In December every year, Sanya City holds the International Wedding Festival. The festival location is usually chosen at a commemorative and beautiful place like Tianya Haijiao, making travel an unforgettable event.

If you go to Sanya on the third day of the third month and the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, you can see ethnic songs, dances and performances that are not usually common, and you can participate in various festivals.

Reminder: There are many people during festivals, and it is difficult to book rooms. If you like to be clean and do not want to bear high travel costs, it is recommended to avoid peak times.

Shoulder season

Sanya is suitable for tourism all year round, and the tourism business is booming throughout the year. There is no obvious off-peak season, and there are only relative shoulder seasons in summer and around National Day.

The hottest month in Sanya is June, with an average temperature of 28.5℃ and an extreme maximum temperature of 35.7℃. In the summer, Sanya is affected by the monsoon climate and there are also typhoons, but despite this, it does not affect tourists' enthusiasm for traveling to Sanya. At this time, hotel room prices will drop slightly and there will be fewer people.

It is one of the must-visit tourist attractions in Hainan.

Must-do things

Walking on the beach, sunbathing on a deck chair

When you come to Sanya, you just don’t go anywhere. You just stay on the beach every day. Will suffer a 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 Marriott Hotel and take the avenue. There are very few people here, and the tranquility and reverie feel like strolling in your own garden.

Playing in the water on Wuzhizhou Island

The water sports on Wuzhizhou Island are very complete. The diving is very good, mainly shore diving and boat diving. Before diving, the instructor will teach everyone the theoretical knowledge of 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".

Self-driving convertibles are popular

Sanya is probably the most suitable city in China for driving a convertible. 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.

The most important thing to pay attention to when traveling to Sanya is its air ticket and hotel prices and the flexibility of the mix. Because in Sanya we mainly focus on enjoying its beaches and there is no need to visit so many attractions. If tourists who come to Sanya for the first time want to wander around the local area, they should focus on famous scenic spots such as Wuzhizhou Island and Nanshan Temple. It is not necessary to go to all of the same type. Some of them are for taking pictures. If you are not a special enthusiast, you can also reduce.

Be careful to guard against fakes when it comes to pearl and crystal handicrafts. But if it's just for a temporary beauty, you can buy some fake ones for fun. It's very cheap to buy them from vendors, but be sure to remember to bargain. Vendors in Sanya are usually very patient and will chatter endlessly. Therefore, if you have no intention of buying, it is best to refuse it firmly from the beginning; if you find something you like, be patient and negotiate the price.

Accommodation

Sanya has three bays: Dadonghai, Sanya Bay and Yalong Bay. 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. Yalong Bay is the most beautiful bay. The water color is layered and the beach is whiter. However, Yalong Bay Hotel is also relatively expensive. It is far away from the city (more than 20 kilometers) and is inconvenient for shopping, eating and traveling. If the economy allows, you can even consider staying in a thatched house on Wuzhizhou Island for one night.

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. When booking a hotel in Sanya through different channels, the prices often vary greatly. There are many places where you can get the lowest discount price for a hotel in Sanya.

Food

When you arrive in Sanya, sitting in a high-end hotel eating seafood with exquisite dishes is really boring. Only when the wind from the market is blowing can it be called a lively place.

But remember, "Chunyuan" refers to "Chunyuan Seafood Plaza", not "Chunyuan Seafood Stalls". The latter will cost you 10 times the money to eat the former 1 /10 seafood. What’s even more ridiculous is that the reputation of “Spring Garden” is so great that a group of “Spring Gardens” have been born around it, such as “Chunyuan”, “Chunyuan”... and so on. To deceive people.

"Chunyuan" is a "front shop and back mill" style food stall, located next to a fish market. You select the right seafood and take it directly to various open fire stalls for processing.

You can choose seafood on the stove and a pot of plain water. Just throw the lively seafood into it. It will taste authentic. The bottom of the pot will be charged 10 yuan. Other seafood will be charged an additional 2 yuan cleaning fee per catty; or you can ask the stall owner to help fry it. , steamed vermicelli with minced garlic, stir-fried with black bean sauce, stewed eggs... You can create various "shapes" for the seafood by turning them over. Each dish costs 5 yuan, and some "big problems" will be charged separately. I still prefer to use it on the side of the stove, sending the most primitive ocean breath into my lips. This is very enjoyable.

The stall "No. 6, row 6" that netizens admire the most is very conspicuous - the proprietress who looks like Sandra Ng. "Sandra Ng" is not only good at cooking delicious food, but also considers the diners very much. All kinds of "difficult and difficult questions" about Sanya are thrown to her, just like a local "travel guide". She suggested that we go to the "First Market" to buy seafood and go to "Chunyuan" for processing. The price would be at least 1/3 cheaper. According to the picture, on the second day, we went to the "First Market", which only locals know, and bought oysters for 2.2 yuan/jin, live golden pomfret for 17 yuan/jin, wild shrimps for 15 yuan/jin, and 2.5 yuan/jin. Fresh scallops... The prices of the above-mentioned live animals at the "Chunyuan" seafood stall are 6 yuan, 25 yuan, 25 yuan, and 6 yuan respectively. "Sandra Ng" is so considerate!

However, we need to be reminded that the "First Market" closes its stalls around 5 pm every day, so you should buy seafood as early as possible. There are also many fruit wholesale stalls in the market. You can also browse and compare prices. Even if you can't win, it is still fun.

Address: Located at the north end of Hexi Road, Sanya City, walk straight to the right of the main entrance of Sanya City Paradise for about 300 meters. You can get there by taking a taxi for 5 yuan from the city, and you can take bus No. 7 directly to here. If you live in Dadonghai, you can take bus No. 2 and get off at Mingzhu Square. From the main entrance of Mingzhu Square, go directly through the back door of the square. About 20 meters diagonally opposite is Chunyuan Seafood Plaza. Do not take a taxi directly to Chunyuan or the driver will take you to the Spring Festival holiday. garden.

Shopping

When you come to Sanya, you always need to bring something with you when you go back. Most of them fall into three categories: Hainan specialties (snacks), seafood and fruits, and shells. These can be bought in downtown Sanya. When shopping, try not to buy at tourist attractions. It is best to buy specialty products in large supermarkets in urban areas. The largest local supermarkets include Mingzhu Plaza, Wanghao Supermarket and Wanfulong, which can be reached by taking bus No. 202.

If you want to buy fruits, you must go to the "No. 1 Farmer's Market" in the city center. 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 prices are 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 the accuracy of their scales at any time. Not allowed). It is better to buy by the whole box, which is convenient for shipping.

Entertainment

Nightlife is an important factor in vacation travel. You can go out to bask in the sun and go shopping during the day, but you can’t just stay in your room playing cards and watching TV at night, right? Of course I have to go out for a wild ride. Many people don’t know what Sanya’s nightlife is besides seafood food stalls. In fact, there are many bars and nightclubs in Sanya that are quite good. Because there are many foreigners in Sanya, these nightclubs are also quite international.

Sanya’s Bar Street is located opposite the Sanya Government District. There are about two dozen nightclubs on this street, which is very lively at night. According to the recommendations of taxi drivers in Sanya, the most popular bars now are as follows: Baba Bar, Mingjing Bar and Allen Bar. Quite a few customers want to go there by name.
