Summer vacation travel inquiry
Sanya has three bays: Dadonghai, Sanya Bay and Yalong Bay, which is the first choice for tourists to stay.
Yalong bay area 1:
Yalong Bay is a tourist attraction, with the most beautiful bay, layered seawater and whiter beaches. Starting from the five-star Gloria Resort Hotel, high-end hotels such as Tianyu Resort Hotel, Holiday Inn, Tian Hong Resort Hotel and Sheraton Resort Hotel have appeared successively. Hyatt Hotel, Mangrove Resort Hotel and Shangri-La Resort Hotel with greater investment and higher design level will also be put into use one after another. These hotels have different styles and basically represent the highest level of Sanya hotels.
This area is approved by the government, so the layout is reasonable, clean and tidy, and basically forms a large luxury hotel area. There are no residential areas in this area, and there are almost no locals. Shopping and eating have to be solved in the hotel. If you want to go downtown, even if you want to eat a bowl of Hainan powder, plus the round-trip fare, it will probably cost nearly 100 yuan.
2. Dadonghai region:
Located between the two hills of Tuwei and Luhuitou, which are 8 kilometers away from downtown Sanya, the water is a crescent-shaped beach. Dadonghai is probably the place with the most hotels in Sanya, with various grades and good sea views. Yulin Bay, not far from Dadonghai, is the base of the South China Sea Fleet, and you will see many people wearing navy clothes.
Although Dadonghai is only a few kilometers away from downtown Sanya, it will reach Dadonghai after crossing the Sanya River, but the prices of things in Dadonghai have doubled. Because it is a tourist area, killing you is not negotiable. In short, be cautious whenever and wherever you are, and be sure to bargain to the end (in fact, the whole Sanya is a tourist area). Although the price of Dadonghai is higher than that of Sanya, it is much cheaper than Yalong Bay.
3. Sanya Bay area:
The three bays in Sanya are all good, but you can't see the gorgeous sunrise on the sea. You must go to Sanya Bay to watch the sunset. Sanya Bay starts from Sanya Port in the east, and the 20-mile-long Binhai Avenue extends along the coastal bay. Coconut groves form forests and extend to Tianya Bay in the west. The humanities are ten miles, and the silver beach is beautiful, but compared with this twenty-mile coconut grove corridor (coconut dream corridor), it is simply dwarfed! The whole Sanya Bay stretches for more than 30 miles, backed by the urban area and facing the sea. The urban area of Sanya is very small, and it is built along two small rivers facing the sea.
Five: chartered cars in scenic spots
1: Sanya Phoenix Airport is 20km away from the urban area, and there is a bus from the airport directly to the urban area (fare 10 yuan). Taxi prices should be controlled around 40 yuan. Taxi drivers you meet at the airport will enthusiastically introduce how good the scenic spots are and how to show you around at low prices or even free of charge. Remember, there is no free lunch. Or I'll kill you. It's not negotiable.
2. Charter a car in Sanya, the taxi is basically 200-300 yuan RMB, and it will double during the Spring Festival and the Golden Week of Tourism. Remember-someone will often give you a business card "One-day trip to Sanya" at the entrance of the hotel. They will lure you with low fares and even show you around the scenic spots for free. Once you get caught, you'll be slaughtered! Hotel doormen usually have contact with them. If you book a car through the doorman, haha, congratulations on your success. )
3. The starting price of taxis in Sanya is 5 yuan, 10 yuan can basically go anywhere in downtown Sanya. Dadonghai from downtown 15 yuan, from downtown to Dadonghai 15 yuan, Yalong Bay to Dadonghai 50 yuan, Dadonghai to the ends of the earth does not exceed 50 yuan.
4. We should make full use of buses. There is only one main street (Jiefang Road) in the urban area, which runs north and south. You can use this road as the coordinate axis to go to major scenic spots, shopping and food destinations. Bus No.2 is very convenient, with many flights (all seats are available), enthusiastic conductor and driver, and low price (no ticket sales 1 yuan/person). How to truly feel a city? Take a bus.
5. From Yalong Bay to the ends of the earth via Dadonghai, there are also double-decker tourist buses that run every half hour. Dadonghai to Tianya Haijiao, 5 yuan in Yalong Bay, Tianya Haijiao to 8 yuan in Yalong Bay, enjoying the scenery along the way, is very suitable for travelers. Bus fares are also within 5 yuan, but the order is rather chaotic. In downtown human tricycles, you'd better not take a motorcycle.
(Note-it's an important link to play chartered cars in Sanya. A responsible driver can make your trip more enjoyable. ) six: play:
When you visit Sanya, you must be a happy self-help traveler. It would be a pity if you joined a group. We can only have a cursory look at Sanya, and we can't really appreciate the charm of Sanya, an international coastal tourist city, by constantly going to various shopping spots. Here are some tourist attractions that can represent Sanya.
1, Yalong Bay, the first bay in the world.
Yalong Bay is located about 20 kilometers east of Sanya City, surrounded by green hills on three sides, and the south is crescent-shaped and open to the sea. The sand is white and fine, and the visibility of seawater is 7-9 meters. Known as "the first bay in the world". There are Butterfly Valley, Shell House, Central Square, Tennis Club, Golf Course and Beach. Choosing a hotel to stay here for a few days and enjoying the seaside life quietly has become the first choice for tourists.
If you like walking, you can walk along the beach of Yalong Bay from the central square of Yalong Bay to Sheraton Hotel. You can go through the Marriott Hotel and take the avenue when you come back. There are few people here, and that kind of quiet and distant feeling is like walking in your own garden.
2. Wuzhizhou
Wuzhizhou is located in Haitang Bay in the north of Sanya, 2.7 kilometers away from Houhai Village, Wanglin Town, Sanya, facing Monkey Island in Nanwan in the north and Yalong Bay in the south, 30 kilometers away from downtown Sanya, 38 kilometers away from Sanya Phoenix International Airport and close to Hainan East Expressway, with convenient transportation.
The waters around wuzhizhou are clear and transparent, and the visibility of seawater is 6-27m. It is the best diving base in China. The most beautiful scenery in Wuzhizhou is in Lover Bridge. Standing on the shore, you can see the coral reef at the bottom of the shallow sea. The sun-watching rock on the island is worth a visit, where you can see the endless sea. The blue sky is connected with the boundless sea, which is very spectacular.
There is sightseeing bus on the island, so you can travel all over the island (you can't reach it on foot at half distance). 80 yuan/people, and a Zhang Fengguang VCD). It's windy in Wuzhizhou, so you need to prepare a coat! To make full use of the hotel bathrobes, bath towels and slippers, it is definitely useful to bring these things.
The water sports in Wuzhizhou are very complete. Diving is very good, mainly including shore diving and boat diving: the price is 380 yuan and 580 yuan/time. Before diving, the coach will teach you the theoretical knowledge of diving. It doesn't matter if you can't swim. When diving, the lift is controlled by the coach through the equipment.
The banana boat is a threesome, so you need to wear a bathing suit, or you will get wet. When you take a banana boat, you should hurry or you will be thrown into the sea, but don't worry that someone will come to save you. It's exciting. You can experience it. Motorboat price 150 yuan/10 minutes. If boys and girls are together, then boys should take the initiative to sit in the back, because the back is easy to be thrown out, so be sure to pay attention to safety. 280 yuan/time for towing an umbrella at sea. Parachutes are pulled up by high-powered speedboats, and with the rapid advancement of speedboats, parachutes flutter in the air.
3. Dadonghai:
Located between two hills, Tuwei and Luhuitou, which are 3 kilometers away from downtown Sanya, the water surface is a crescent-shaped beach and the south is an endless sea. The water temperature in winter is about 18-22℃. "Water-heating, white sand and flat beach" has already made Dadonghai a beautiful place renowned at home and abroad, a winter swimming resort and the earliest and most mature seaside resort in Sanya. In addition, there is a good place to dive, and a coach will take you into the water. Don't worry if you have no swimming foundation, because the lift is controlled by the coach.
It's actually very convenient to go to Dadonghai by CMB. There are many trains, and there are buses to the evening 1 1: 30. 1 yuan/person sitting in the city center. Get off at the opposite of Wang Hao Supermarket, and you can go shopping. Next to it is Bus No.2 1 RMB/person sitting in Dadonghai. If you take a taxi, you need at least 50 yuan from Sanya Bay to Dadonghai.
From the airport to 50 yuan in Dadonghai; Many CMB in the city go to Dadonghai; Dadonghai to Sheraton 50 yuan.
Take a walk in Dadonghai to the bus intersection of 0 yuan 65438+2 Road, and then go to Dadonghai when you come back. Buses in Sanya still wave to stop, which is very convenient and saves a lot of money. Coral beach in front of Shanhaitian Hotel. The shoal here is like an animal paradise, with many small marine creatures. Crabs, starfish, snails, hermit crabs. It was fun.
4. Penang Valley
Penang Valley Scenic Area is located in Ganshiling Nature Reserve at the junction of Baoting and Sanya, about 49 kilometers away from Qixianling Hot Spring, 28 kilometers away from downtown Sanya and 8 kilometers away from eastern expressway. The middle line of the sea passes through the scenic spot. Penang Canyon consists of three parts: indigenous Li village, Chiyou Miao village and primitive rainforest canyon.
Indigenous Li villages. It was formed by the protection of Li villages with a history of hundreds of years. Here, you can see the oldest betel nut group in Shuling, the whole island-the century-old betel nut forest (the most striking signs that distinguish Li and Han nationalities on the island are coconut forest and betel nut forest. Coconut trees are the most abundant in places where Han people live, and betel nut trees are the most abundant in places where Li people live. In addition, coconut trees represent men, thick and straight; The betel nut tree represents a slim and tall woman. ); There is a disappearing traditional building of Li nationality-boathouse; You can see the living fossil called "Dunhuang mural human art" by experts-the grandmother embroidered by Li nationality; You can see the tree leather clothes worn by human beings in the non-woven era; You can witness the only remaining century-old barn group on the island; You can see the most advanced and distinctive textile tools, technologies and products in ancient China-Yao Ju loom, "spinning, dyeing, weaving and embroidery" technology and Li Jin; You can see the only Ming Dynasty dragon quilt on the island.

In addition, there are a series of national intangible cultural heritage protection projects, such as drilling wood for fire, low-temperature pottery, Li folk songs and so on. As a tourist, you can also dance a bamboo dance and taste the mountain wine and bamboo rice here.
5.yanoda rainforest
Yanoda Rainforest Scenic Area is the only real rainforest in China located at 18 degrees north latitude. It is the concentrated and most ornamental exhibition hall of five tropical rainforests in Hainan Island, and it can be called China Diamond Rainforest Scenic Area. The scenic spot is only 35 kilometers away from downtown Sanya and 52 kilometers away from Phoenix Airport. It is a veritable Sanya back garden. The scenic spot is connected to Wuzhishan and Qixianling in the north; East of the South China Sea, the beautiful Haitang Bay is close at hand; It is separated from Nantian Hot Spring, the first hot spring in South China. In the newly revised Sanya tourism master plan, this scenic spot is located on the ecological landscape axis in Sanya tourism planning and is the "golden triangle" area of "Sanya tourism circle".
6. Nanshan Temple
Nanshan was nicknamed Aoshan in ancient times. The shape of the mountain is like a giant Aoshan swimming in the sea, hence the name. It is said that people who have been to Nanshan are sick and have a long life. The gate of Nanshan Scenic Area is "Juefa" (Buddhism has 84,000 Dharmas, and Juefa is the highest realm. When you enter this door, you enter the holy land of Buddhism, that is, you reach the realm beyond life and death. ) Tickets for Nanshan Scenic Area 150/ person, and people over 70 years old can get free tickets with their ID cards. When you enter Nanshan, you can choose to walk or take an electric tour bus. (20 tickets/person, get on and off at will in the scenic spot with the ticket. ) The main attractions of Nanshan are:
1, "In Guanyin Pavilion" is dedicated to the world-famous "Golden Jade Guanyin". This Guanyin statue is 3.8 meters high and consists of four parts: Guanyin golden body, Buddha's light, Chiba Baolian, rosewood wood carving and Sumitomo. It consumed more than 100 kg of gold, 120 Quevara South African diamond rings and thousands of rubies and emeralds. You can burn incense and worship Guanyin here, which is said to make your fortune turn prosperous. (note-it is best to invite incense outside the scenic spot. The fragrance in the scenic spot is too expensive. Although the fragrance outside the scenic spot is not cheap, it is much cheaper than the fragrance inside the scenic spot. )
2. There are many photos of local longevity stars in Nanshan on the Longevity Corridor, among which 100, 98 and 99 years old abound.
3. Nanshan Temple, which provides Maitreya Buddha and Five Dharmas, can burn the second pillar incense here, which can make you eliminate all troubles, laugh often, be happy, and live a long and healthy life.
4. Nanshan Su Zhai, Nanshan Su Zhai Restaurant Since its opening on 1998, the restaurant has been operating under the main brand of Su Zhai, which combines the essence of temple Su Zhai, the style of palace Su Zhai and folk Su Zhai, the local flavor of the north and south, and the use of modern cooking techniques to form a unique Nanshan food culture, and has been identified as a "national welcome base" by Hainan Province.
5. Guanyin in Nanhai 108 meters high, with three complete statues of Zhengguanyin and a solemn treasure map, stands on the lotus throne of 108 petals. Under the lotus throne is the King Kong Terrace, and inside it is the Tong Yuan Hall, with an area of 15000 square meters. Jingangzhou is connected with the shore by Puji Bridge, 280 meters long, and connected with Guanyin Square and Square, covering an area of 60,000 square meters. The theme parks on both sides together form the "Guanyin Fan Jing" scenic spot covering an area of nearly 300,000 square meters. Here, you can burn the third incense, and the merciful Guanyin will help you eliminate disasters and solve problems, and keep you safe.
7, the size of the cave scenic area
Dragon blood tree is 6300 years old. It is not easy to think about it in 6300. It should really be said that "people are living and doing nothing, and trees are useless and old." Dracaena has no practical use, so it can live for so long. Anyone here? Cradle beds in large and small caves are very interesting. It is very comfortable to bask in the sun, blow the sea breeze and listen to the sound of the waves in the coconut grove.
8. the ends of the earth
Transportation: There are buses in the Civil Aviation Building and other places, which takes about 30 minutes by car. At the gate of the first market, I saw China Merchants Bank going to Tianya, and everyone was in 6 yuan. You can also take the Xinhua Line double-decker bus directly at Yalong Bay/Dadonghai.
From the garage to the "Tianya Haijiao" about 24 kilometers in downtown Sanya, it seems that there is a feeling of reaching the end of the world. Clear water and blue sky, vast smoke, scattered sails, swaying coconut groves and many strange stones. Stones engraved with "Tianya", "Cape", "Southern Tianzhu" and "Sea to South Sky" stand on the seashore, making the whole scenic spot picturesque and beautiful.
9. China's first hot spring "Pearl River Nantian Hot Spring"
Sanya Pearl River Nantian Hot Spring Resort is a five-star resort hotel integrating hot spring vacation, leisure and entertainment, health and beauty therapy and business meeting, and it is the largest open-air hot spring in China. There are 60 hot spring pools with different shapes and functions, including small fish hot spring pool, waterfall pool, perfume pool, flower pool, traditional Chinese medicine pool, ice spring pool and lovers pool. When you are tired of playing, take a dip in Nantian Hot Spring in the Pearl River, which is very comfortable and relaxing. Nantian Hot Spring in the Pearl River is worth visiting.
Seven: Sanya cuisine
"Food is the most important thing for the people", and the prosperity of a society is based on adequate food and clothing. China's food culture is extensive and profound, and the food culture in various places is an integral part of China's food culture. When it comes to the food in Sanya, it is natural to mention the seafood in Sanya. Eating seafood can't help but mention the Spring Garden Seafood Plaza in Sanya, which is listed as the first choice for tourists to eat seafood. "Spring Garden Seafood Plaza" has 80 stalls. Whenever the night comes, tourists from all directions will come in droves, especially self-help tourists who are well-known online. The most attractive thing about spring garden seafood is that it is affordable, and the method is somewhat similar to semi-automatic. After tourists come, they first go to the seafood market behind the square to buy seafood and vegetables according to their personal preferences, and then the store will process them for you, eat hot pot or fry them (the processing fee is 3 yuan/Jin). You can also taste various Hainan specialty snacks, such as Hainan powder, glutinous rice cake, coconut rice and so on. (Hint-some drivers will take you to the seafood plaza for free or at a low price, and they will take you to places like "Spring Garden Seafood Plaza" or "Spring Garden Seafood Plaza", all of which are fake Spring Garden Seafood Plaza-remember)
Address-Spring Garden Seafood Plaza is 500 meters north of the city paradise, crossing Sanya Bridge from Dadonghai, and heading north of Yan Xi West Road. It is recommended to take bus No.2 to the State Seal Hotel (Jixiang Street) and turn right along Jixiang Street for 500 meters. Ming Runhe 168, which is opposite to Chunyuan Square, is also good, and its management mode is very similar.
In addition to eating seafood in Sanya, you must not miss four famous dishes in Hainan, namely, white-cut Wenchang chicken, Hainan Jiaji duck, white-sauce East goat, Qiong sauce and Le crab. In particular, Wenchang chicken, Le and crab in Hainan are worth a try. Here are some local restaurants with transparent and reasonable prices. The price is clearly marked, so don't worry about being slaughtered.
1, Spring Garden Seafood Plaza: The famous food stalls on the Internet are 168, No.9 in Row 3 and No.9 in Row 4.
2. Yipin Pot: Located on Binhai Road
3. Haiya Restaurant: Located at the intersection of Linchun River, opposite to Tomorrow Hotel, Hainan cuisine here is very famous locally.
4. Dadonghai Coconut Forest Seafood City: It is located opposite the Haicheng Hotel in Dadonghai and can be reached by bus No.2 and No.4. The price of seafood here is higher than that of ordinary food stalls, but the environment is good.
Eight: Shopping
1, Hainan specialty
When you go to Hainan, you must bring some Hainan specialties back to your relatives and friends. Try not to buy it in the scenic spot. The reason is simple "expensive". It is best to buy special products in the big supermarkets in the city. The biggest local supermarkets are Wang Hao Supermarket and Nanguo Jiapin Supermarket. They are all near Sanya Bus Terminal. You can get there by bus No.2, and you can buy some snacks and specialties. I feel that coconut cake is still delicious. The specialty is coconut sugar, and soft candy is better. And coconut pancakes are also delicious. Wang Hao supermarkets can also be packed in cartons for free, which is very convenient.
2. Hainan fruit
Hainan has mangosteen, mango, pitaya, agricultural research, litchi, carambola and many other tropical fruits. Of course, eat the freshest and cheapest fruit. It is recommended to go to Honggang Wholesale Market, the largest fruit wholesale market in Sanya, where all kinds of fruits are available, and the most important thing is that they are fresh and cheap. Here you can put down all your face and bargain boldly with the thick-skinned fruit merchant. This is normal. The market is a bargaining place. If you don't bargain, you will suffer. In addition, the phenomenon of insufficient weight will be found in many markets all over the country. If it is convenient for you, I suggest you take a small electronic scale. Packaged fruits should not be checked at the airport. Don't expect your luggage to be taken good care of. It is normal for boxes to be thrown about. It would be nice if 50% of the luggage was not injured when it was retrieved. It is recommended to pack them in smaller boxes, and it is best to take two more to the plane. It not only protects the fruit, but also saves the time of waiting for luggage.
Precautions for eating tropical fruits.
1, tropical fruits, such as mango and pineapple, are easy to get angry. Cold fruit watermelon papaya is easy to have diarrhea when eaten too much.
2. You can't eat pineapple and carambola on an empty stomach. Especially diabetics can't eat carambola, which will be life-threatening.
3, when enjoying the delicious coconut, pay attention to the water droplets on the clothes will make the clothes discolored, it is difficult to clean.
3. Hainan Arts and Crafts
Yuejin street There are small shops selling handicrafts on both sides, and the prices are not expensive. You can buy some coconut shells or shellfish crafts as a souvenir when you go back. The coin purse made of coconut shell is six yuan (10 five yuan).
4. clothes
When you buy clothes in Sanya, you should go to local shopping malls, such as Sanya Pedestrian Street, Pearl Square and Fang Yi Department Store. Many famous brands of clothes can be bought, provided that you have enough money.
(Hint-never let the driver take you to the shops in downtown Sanya or roadside shops to buy pearls. The reason is simply "slaughter" and the quality is not guaranteed. . . Remember to remember)
You can go to Sanya Jingrun Pearl Museum to buy it, which is the biggest and best in Sanya. Sanya Jingrun Pearl Museum is a large-scale tourism cultural project developed by Hainan Jingrun Pearl Co., Ltd. with the approval of Sanya Municipal People's Government. In it, you can enjoy "the biggest king of seawater pearls in China", "the biggest natural pearl in China", "the oldest pearl in the world" and "the top ten famous pearls in the world". There are exhibition halls, projection halls, lounges and other supporting facilities in the museum. Don't worry about buying fake pearls or being slaughtered here. Of course, the price of pearls here is relatively high, so it's worth it.
Ten: Sanya Tourism Fraud Prevention Raiders
1. Check the information online and read more travel notes and strategies. The more you read, the more you know, and the less likely you are to be slaughtered.
2. Keep your money safe, and it's best not to expose it. There are many pickpockets and bag snatchers in Sanya, especially in markets and stations.
Don't trust the stranger or driver who greets you voluntarily. They will tempt you with many attractive excuses, such as: taking you around scenic spots for free or at low prices; So-and-so local seafood is cheap, shrimp 5 yuan/Jin, crab 6 yuan/Jin and so on. Please remember that there will never be a pie in the sky. Remember to remember-don't be greedy and cheap.
4. Don't book a car through the hotel doorman. Most of them have business dealings with car drivers, and the money earned is divided equally.
5. Book a car-I think the most reliable channel is through the introduction of relatives and friends or the introduction of netizens who have been to Sanya, because your relatives or friends do not have the same hobbies as drivers. If your friend meets a driver who killed a customer while playing in Sanya, I believe your friend will not introduce you to such a driver. When I was playing in Sanya, I was taken to play by a tourist driver introduced by a friend who had been to Sanya, and I felt quite satisfied. I hereby appeal to my friends. If you meet a kind-hearted tourist driver, please write down the phone number of the tourist driver, and you can introduce it to your friends.
6. It is best to buy it in a big shopping mall or supermarket. If you buy it at a market stall, you can bargain boldly and reduce the price by 50%. When shopping, don't show too much interest in something, but show indifference so as to reduce the price.
7. Seafood is very profitable in Sanya, so there are many seafood shops in Sanya. The seafood stalls on the roadside suggest you not to go. If most drivers take you there to be slaughtered, I still recommend you to go to the "Spring Garden Seafood Plaza". The only drawback here is that the environment is not very good and there are too many people. (Tips-when you buy seafood at the Spring Garden Seafood Plaza, there may be one, two or more merchants around you observing what kind of guests you are, "haggle over every ounce" and "generous". If you are generous, the merchants will give you a higher price, and the price of seafood you buy will naturally be higher than others. )
8, lead an honest and clean life-Sanya's nightlife is still relatively rich, you can go to bars, dance halls, KTV and other entertainment places, it is best not to go to Sanya's underground dance halls, which are full of pornographic places. Going in is a famous brand, and coming out is probably only a pair of underwear. (note-this article is not my personal experience, just listening to the introduction of the tour driver. )
XI: abstract
Sanya is a beautiful city, I like Sanya, I love Sanya, everything here fascinates me, and the people living here are so enviable. As a loyal tourist in Sanya, I regret the phenomenon of cheating customers in Sanya. I wanted to write this guidebook in more detail, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time and energy because of my work. Apologize to netizens for this. At the same time, I very much hope to exchange experiences with netizens in Sanya, and I am also willing to provide more detailed strategies for friends who are ready to visit Sanya or have already visited Sanya.
