Travel Notes of Sanya (1)

A family of three went to Sanya in the summer vacation. It took only three days to leave Shanghai Pudong in the morning of August 9 and return in the afternoon of August13. In addition, there are many play arrangements, so the itinerary is particularly tight and the play experience is somewhat discounted. During the period, I also encountered many accidents, such as trauma, long delay of the plane, illness of the child and so on. To be honest, this trip to Sanya was really bumpy. But anyway, the sea in Sanya is really beautiful. I have seen the sea in Sanya, but the sea in other parts of China is really not enough. Based on this, although the trip to Sanya is bumpy, it is also worthwhile.

Before I went, I told my father that you should consider it a group tour. The implication is that I am busy with air tickets, hotels, transfers and so on. If there is anything I can't do, don't keep complaining. However, it turns out that my plan as a team leader is well formulated, but it is very unreliable to implement it.

Because I am playing with my children, I will position this trip as a "parent-child tour". The whole play plan is to wake up naturally on the first day, then take the children to the seaside, go to the children's park in the hotel and go to the scarecrow farm. Take a day off and go to the island, Wuzhizhou or Fenjiezhou. Another day I went downtown to eat seafood.

Considering the affordability of funds and the comfort of playing, we chose the mangrove resort hotel in Yalong Bay as our accommodation. Online comments said that although this hotel is a bit old, it focuses on parent-child brands and children's facilities are also good. Yalong Bay, where the hotel is located, has superior water quality and beach quality, so children can have a good time on the hotel's own beach. In addition, I booked an accommodation package in the hotel official website more than one month in advance, and successfully upgraded to a small suite of reef swimming pool, so that children can go to the swimming pool from the balcony of the hotel, which is very convenient. The package also includes Thai lunch package, seafood buffet barbecue dinner and chinese dinner table package, which solves most of the three meals a day. In terms of travel, it is naturally an airplane. Considering that flight delays are normal, delay insurance is specially set up. Considering the problem of flight delay, children may have a hard time. On the way back, they also booked the waiting VIP service. In order to facilitate travel, I made an appointment for Ctrip to pick me up.

Before departure, clothes and related items are also prepared according to the raiders. Focus on the following points:

Be sure to bring all relevant documents, especially the children's. For example, children who do not have an ID card need to bring the original birth medical certificate and the household registration book (although they will not be used later).

Bought all the clothes in Decathlon. Facts have proved that quick-drying clothes, beach pants and sun protection clothes are far more practical and comfortable than colorful and sexy swimsuits when playing at the seaside, unless you really want to swim in the sea or plan to make good use of the hotel pool. Beach pants and sun protection clothes are more comfortable to wear and easy to dry, because although the temperature in Sanya is not low in summer, the humidity at the seaside is very high and the clothes are always wet and dry.

Be sure to prepare medicines, especially children's antipyretics, cold medicines, diarrhea medicines and antiallergic medicines.

Bring a book or two, or a kindle. During the five or six hours of flight delay, I was all watching "Three-body".

Ensure that the mobile phone has enough space to take photos, and export the previous photos in advance.

Ok, this is the whole play plan and preparation. But what is the actual situation?

8. 10 is the first day, basically according to the plan, I will wake up naturally, then have breakfast and arrive at the seaside around 9: 30. Two-year-olds can really forget to eat and sleep all day on the beach. After lunch, wake up naturally after lunch break, then continue to play on the beach and swim in the pool. Then dinner.

The problem is the next day. After breakfast, we have been struggling about where to play. It's ok to stay at the hotel beach and swimming pool all the time, but a trip to Sanya always feels that going to the hotel is a bit too much. But if you want to go to the island, it's already late, and you haven't booked a day trip on the first day. If you go that day, you have to call a car yourself. So, we decided to either go downtown to eat seafood or go to the classic tropical rain forest paradise forest park near Yalong Bay. Finally, I decided to take a taxi to the park and come back to the hotel for a barbecue in the afternoon. But after listening to the driver's introduction when taking a taxi, we decided to divert to Yanoda. This temporary decision led to a great extension of the day's play time, coupled with the hot weather, mountain climbing, children holding all the way, shoes suddenly failed, the whole play experience was very poor, and both adults were very tired.

On the third day, I decided to go to the island. This is a one-day tour in advance to demarcate the mainland. The seawater quality of the street island is better than that of Yalong Bay. It is crystal clear, the color of the sea water is clear, but the beach is thick, and many shell fragments are easily cut off. However, it is also interesting that there are many crabs running around on the rocks by the sea. There is also Hong Kong Ocean Park on the island, which is very suitable for children to play. It's already 12 o'clock on the island, so I can't catch the performance of 12: 30, so I choose to watch the live show of 15:30. In the meantime, I took my child to the seabed for diving and sightseeing, and his father went diving. Finally, we met in Hong Kong Ocean Park. Well, the problem this time lies in the underwater diving and sightseeing places. First of all, we have to wait for a long time, buy tickets and arrive at the meeting place at 2: 30, and the staff told us that 13: 15 can get on the boat. Then I'll wait. The children ate a bun and drank some coconut milk. In fact, this is his usual lunch break. After boarding the ship, I thought I could go into the submarine for sightseeing immediately. I didn't know this ship was a connection. The first group of tourists just got on the submarine, and they need to wait until the first group of tourists come back. By the time I got out of the hot and stuffy submarine, it was about 14:30, and the child couldn't help falling asleep. I also looked down on the big turtles, dolphins and corals raised in Hong Kong Ocean Park, so I had to hurry out of Hong Kong Ocean Park to see my father. We didn't have hot meals until three o'clock in the morning, and the gathering time of the one-day tour was 4: 30, which shows how much we are in a hurry! After returning to the hotel, I ordered a takeaway. In order to make up for the regret that I can't go to the city to eat seafood, I ordered some seafood stir-fried dishes and so on, and also ordered steamed eggs with sea urchins for my children. Go swimming in the pool after dinner, and then dig sand at the seaside. The child had a fever that night and his stomach began to feel uncomfortable the next morning, which made it almost impossible to follow up for 2 hours in the morning. When I got on the plane in the afternoon, the child began to have diarrhea, so don't mention how embarrassing it was all the way.

From a "parent-child tour" to a three-day trip to Sanya in a hurry, I want to see all the good things in Sanya and eat all the delicious food. As a result, you can't play well, you can't eat well, and you make your child sick! The reason is still the traditional concept of "visiting here": if you spend money, you want to see more. If you miss a scenic spot and take a photo, you feel that you have lost a lot. In fact, the scenery of Sanya is the sea, so we just need to stay in Yalong Bay and watch it quietly! Alas, I didn't go to see the beautiful sunrise in Yalong Bay.

In addition, the situation of children is not fully considered, and adults need to pay more attention to taking children to play. If these two points are taken into account, it is more appropriate to go to the scenic spots near downtown or Yalong Bay the next day, and the physical consumption of adults is not great. Or put the island tour on the second day and arrange a more relaxed project on the third day. After all, on the fourth morning, we arranged two hours of follow-up shooting at the seaside. If we are too tired, the children can't cooperate well. Or while the child is in good condition, you put the follow-up on the first afternoon. In short, play with children, don't worry, and don't be too tired.

Let's talk about tourism. It is definitely a plane to go to Sanya. According to the strategy, you can go to Haikou and then take the high-speed train or bus to Sanya. However, if you take your children, it is better to go directly to Sanya Phoenix Airport. But when booking a plane ticket, you must not buy a "stop" flight without considering the take-off and landing time. This is my biggest mistake as a team leader in Sanya! The coming and going air tickets are all from Pudong to Sanya via Wenzhou, which is more than 2 hours longer than the direct flight time. I really don't know what my eyes think when I book a plane ticket. In addition, when booking air tickets, you'd better buy delay insurance. August is the high season for lightning and typhoons. We were delayed for more than six hours when we went, and for more than four hours when we came back, until we finally lost our temper. However, after landing, Ctrip quickly sent the delay claim information, which was slightly gratifying.

When booking a plane ticket in Ctrip, I will also ask you if you want to book a VIP waiting service. At that time, I thought there might be a delay, so I booked a VIP flight for the return trip. Facts have proved that this service is still needed when the plane is late and the children are not feeling well. We ordered Longteng VIP to wait, with light meals, snacks and the like, which are more comfortable, but there is a time limit of 2 hours.

Finally, the problem of transportation. Yalong Bay is far from Phoenix Airport. Considering the delay, it is sometimes very late, and it is not very convenient to call a taxi. You'd better book the shuttle in advance. The hotel we booked has a shuttle service, but we should confirm with the hotel in time after the flight is delayed to avoid handover mistakes. When booking air tickets in Ctrip, I also booked a special car home from the airport after arriving in Pudong, mainly because of the delay mentioned in the propaganda. Ctrip's service is really good. The delay time was determined in advance, and the plane delay was quickly solved if there was a problem halfway. 14 arrived in Pudong at 2 am.

Finally, let's talk about taxis in Sanya. There are many posts on the Raiders about cheating and cheating in Sanya taxis. We also took a taxi once, and it didn't feel so obvious. First of all, we must be mentally prepared. In the tourist city of Sanya, there will be a cooperative relationship between taxi drivers and scenic spots. For example, the driver will tell us that he will take us to the scenic spot to get points, and then the scenic spot will take care of a lunch. For another example, we took a taxi to Yalong Bay Rainforest Paradise Park at first, but we went to Yanoda under the driver's introduction. This is a willing thing. On the one hand, I have done a raiders, and it is clear that the fare is definitely more expensive than planned. However, considering that Yanoda has a waterfall that can be shown to children, it can't be said that people are fooling you. Secondly, the driver's price is not outrageous. Because we are worried that the return taxi is not easy to call, we all call the same taxi back and forth, not chartered. We didn't set the watch. 200 yuan. It's ok to compare the price of chartered cars on Ctrip. Third, it saves the time of queuing to buy tickets. The driver also specially led us to the gate of the scenic spot and introduced some useful experiences. Of course, it's still more expensive than a day trip. In a word, the taxi service in Sanya is not as bad as expected. Of course, it doesn't rule out that you are unlucky to meet a few unreliable drivers.
