Which duty-free shop in Sanya is the best and cheapest?

Sanya currently has three duty-free shops, namely Sanya International Duty Free City, Zhongfu Duty Free Shop, and Hailv Duty Free Shop.

1. Sanya International Duty Free City

Address: No. 118, Haitang Road, Haitang District, Sanya City

It is almost a must-visit in Sanya and is the largest in Hainan. Duty-free shops have the most brands and the most complete range of goods, but they also have the most people and often queues.

2. Zhongfu Duty Free Shop

Address: Sanya Hongzhou Plaza (near the First Market)

It is very close to the Luhuitou Scenic Area, but it is currently settled. There are not many brands, they are basically some common fragrance brands. Those who live in Dadonghai can go shopping if they have nothing to do. The duty-free shop at Sanya Phoenix Airport is small and crowded. It basically sells popular products of some popular fragrance brands. You can buy them immediately and pick them up, which is suitable for checking and filling in any missing items before leaving.

3. Hailv Duty-Free Shop

Address: Yingbin Road, Sanya (next to Eternal Love)

It has the first Apple-authorized duty-free shop, enjoying nationwide UNPROFOR. Apple has a full range of products and the products are quite comprehensive. Unlike Sanya International Duty Free City, the entire series is not often out of stock.

Steps for tax refund in duty-free shops

1. Ask whether tax refund is available when purchasing, and ask the store clerk to issue a tax refund form in triplicate. Only receipts are not refundable. You must bring a tax refund form filled with your passport information to get a tax refund.

2. Choose the tax refund method you want. Generally speaking, overseas shopping tax refunds include credit card, cash, check and Alipay tax refunds. Once the tax refund method is selected, it cannot be changed.

3. Goods that require tax refund stamped by the customs at the airport cannot be opened and used. Items stamped by the customs need to be inspected for tax refund. Bring your tax refund form and shopping invoices, and prepare your passport, purchased goods and air tickets in advance for inspection purposes. Be sure to set aside enough time to handle the tax refund procedures, just follow the Tax Refund signs at the airport.
