sanya Shenzhen airlines holiday travel agency (hotel reservation), taking a break from busy schedule, had to visit sanya, and shared some experiences as follows:
1. Experiences
Personally, the ultimate goal of travel is to relax and get happiness. Therefore, it is necessary to keep a good attitude when going out.
First of all, many people like to watch Raiders, the purpose of which is not only to know the situation, but also to prevent travel traps. This is sweet and the other is arsenic. The so-called tourist trap is profit for travel agencies or local tourism practitioners. We must strongly oppose and mercilessly expose the traps that harm our interests; However, don't be so "refined" that others don't make any profit at all. Besides, we can't avoid the limited trap, just like you have to spend one or two on the self-funded project with the group, knowing that the shellfish in the seafood stall is processed in 3 yuan, you should always let him process it.
Secondly, when you go out, don't look for traps everywhere and be strict with everything. As mentioned above, travel traps are everywhere. To make yourself happy, as long as it is not too much, just turn a blind eye. Others have to support their families, right? We go out for fun, not to find fault. Everyone is happy to give up some profits a little. Generally speaking, Sanya citizens are warm and kind.
finally, "you get what you pay for" is an eternal truth! Accommodation, in particular, brings you not only comfortable sleep, but also abundant energy and beautiful appearance the next day. No one wants to take pictures everywhere under dark circles. About accommodation, see later.
Second, equipment
The equipment for going to Sanya is relatively perfect in many raiders. Here, let's just talk about our own supplements!
Clothing: Long sleeves are necessary for barbecues and bars on the beach at night. Try to prepare clothes with fast-drying fabrics, and bright colors are easy to take pictures. Two pieces of trousers made of outdoor quick-drying fabric are very practical. It is very convenient to wear trousers when going out in the morning, and there are many mosquitoes on the island, which can also play a protective role. It is very convenient to remove the trouser legs when it is hot at noon or when treading water on the beach. Besides, the price of two pairs of trousers is also cost-effective, and you can take one less piece of luggage! It's good to take a walk with slippers, but it's not convenient to go to the scenic spot. We have seen n pairs of slippers that are still worn out at the scenic spot. Beach shoes are safe and practical, but they are not very beautiful. They should be cleaned every day to avoid odor. Crocs Carochi sandals now have a relatively small and lovely shape, and they dry quickly, but I don't know how comfortable they are.
Sunscreen: It is recommended to use special cleansing oil for sunscreen with SPF31 above 31. Ordinary facial cleanser can't clean high-magnification sunscreen products (especially waterproof and sweat-proof ones). When the weather is hot, pores will be blocked and acne will affect the photo effect. Oprah Winfrey has a sunscreen cleansing oil (orange plastic bottle) 91 yuan with moderate price and good effect. Don't use a sun umbrella when going to the seaside. The wind is strong, which is not conducive to taking pictures and posing. It's best to buy a hat with a tether, a deep roof, a straw hat or a shallow roof that is easy to be blown away.
towels: you can bring your own, and even the top-grade hotel towels and bath towels are common. Even though we believe in the professional ethics of most hotel cleaning staff, according to people in the industry, there is no 111% guarantee. In particular, woman should care for themselves and pay attention to hygiene. A little discomfort will affect the mood of travel. Also, prepare a bar of soap for yourself.
Snacks: Sanya supermarket has a complete range of items, so you don't need to bring too many things. You can bring some special snacks. We have brought a few packets of Kangding yak meat. A small token of our appreciation to the hotel service staff will make you see a sincere smile when you go out every day.
III. Regional Overview
Sanya can be roughly divided into four regions: downtown, Sanya Bay, Dadonghai and Yalong Bay.
(1) Downtown
Sanya is small, with Jiefang Road as the north-south axis, and all the stations, shopping malls, supermarkets and food are distributed on both sides of Jiefang Road. In the urban area, there is a large flow of people during the day and at night, and there are many vendors on both sides of the street, which makes the scene chaotic. But from another perspective, it is also a manifestation of the developed tourism industry in this city. The transportation is convenient, and there are many buses. If you don't have to take a taxi outside the city, it won't take half an hour to walk the whole Jiefang Road. In Sanya, there are more foreigners than locals, and taxi drivers, bus drivers and ticket sellers are basically from the northeast.
shopping malls: yifang department store, XX square (forget the name, it's next to yifang department store) and mingzhu square. The layout of the shopping malls is similar, and the Pearl Square is bigger. The first floor is full of cosmetics and pearls, but the rosewood counter is only available on the first floor of Pearl Square. Rosewood is a specialty of Hainan. I bought a rosewood bracelet in Haikou before (usually worn by man). The medium-sized one with a price tag of more than 411 can be bargained to around 151, but things in Sanya may be more expensive. As for pearls, you must buy them in shopping malls, and the discount in Sanya is not as low as that in Haikou.
Pedestrian Street: It is equivalent to Chunxi Road in Chengdu, with clothing stores on both sides and stalls selling handicrafts in the middle. There is a "Watsons" at the entrance of the pedestrian street. If you are tired of shopping, you can order a pot of Hainan specialty tea "Lan Guiren" and a pot of 48 yuan in the "Fairy Trace Forest" (Sanya version of Fairy Trace Forest) at the street corner. The entrance is bitter, and the aftertaste is sweet, which can relieve summer heat and clear heat.
Supermarket: There are specialty supermarkets in the larger streets of Sanya, and the larger one is Wanghao Supermarket next to the bus station (not far from the pedestrian street).
(2) Sanya Bay
is located in the east of Sanya. The coastline (Coconut Dream Corridor) is very long, just outside the main road, but the beach is only 51 meters wide, so there are very few people swimming generally. Inside the main road are star-rated hotels, holiday hotels of various units and elevator apartments (family hotels). There are also many seafood stalls and western restaurants on the roadside. To the east, Sanya Bay is the Phoenix Airport, Nanshan, caves and the ends of the earth.
(3) Dadonghai
The place closest to the urban area, with the most hotels and guesthouses and the most complicated tourists. Generally, the designated hotels with groups or free people are in Dadonghai. The sea is about 511 meters away from the main road. The beach is wide and there are many people swimming. It is called "citizen beach", and foreigners (mostly Russians) account for half of the beach. Next to the beach is the bar and dining street.
(4) Yalong Bay
The environment of Yalong Bay should be everyone's ideal view of Sanya, basically a five-star garden sea view hotel. However, more than 21 kilometers away from the city, there are no shopping malls and shops, and there are only a few garden restaurants outside the hotel. Scenic spots include underwater world, hotel gardens, and further west is wuzhizhou.
IV. Transportation
The transportation in Sanya is convenient, and there are many modes of transportation, such as taxis, buses, chartered cars, etc.
Taxi: According to the guide, 5 yuan in the city has been completed, but we called three times, all of which were masters from the northeast, and asked us to set our watches. In order to avoid the trap reasonably, we chose to walk, but we found that it would not take long. It is not recommended to take a taxi. Walk in the city, take a bus to the scenic spot, and charter a car in a distant place.
Bus: Bus No.8 (air-conditioned) goes from Fenghuang Airport to East Station, passing through the airport, Sanya Bay Coconut Dream Corridor, Pedestrian Street, Haowang Supermarket, Yifang Department Store, First Market and Dadonghai Area, but it can't reach Yalong Bay. Charge according to the distance, usually 1 yuan, from Dadonghai to 5 yuan airport. The special tourist line (air-conditioned car) runs from Dadong Cave to Yalong Bay, passing through all scenic spots and downtown areas, from Dadonghai to Dadong Cave for RMB 13, from Xiaodongtian to Nanshan 3 yuan. However, if you go to the cave, the flight attendant will advise you to buy a package there (it is said that it will not be sold after noon), including tickets, lunch and battery cars in the scenic spot. It is not recommended to buy a package ticket, because see the food and beverage section. No.16 bus is the bus with the worst condition we have ever taken. In fact, it is an older bus, which goes to the big and small caves (passing through the ends of the earth). The route is the urban-rural fringe, and the loess is flying, so it takes a lot of time to stop. Strongly not recommended. Now because the bridge to the ends of the earth is broken, the tourist line can't reach, so we have to get off on the way and take three rounds. If you want to go to the ends of the earth, you can only take bus 16 at the entrance of the scenic spot for your return trip. There are several other buses, except No.7 and No.11, which are air-conditioned, and No.1 and No.2, which are old buses with smaller models.
chartered car: people who go to wuzhizhou are usually chartered cars. We didn't go, so we have no right to speak about it.
v. Accommodation
In the four districts of Sanya, if you travel, you'd better not live in the urban area, which is too far from the sea and noisy.
Sanya Bay: Young people mostly choose family hotels in the elevator apartment community in Sanya Bay. Most of the hotels here are holiday hotels of enterprises, and foreign hotels are also very beautiful. However, because the beaches in Sanya Bay are not good, most tourists don't live here.
Yalong Bay: It's beautiful and expensive. All standard star-rated hotels (Hilton, Holiday, etc.) have gardens. If you have a car (car rental), you can stay in this area, because all coastal hotels have private beaches, and of course, other tourists can also visit this beach. However, you can swim in the sea through the garden in a bathing suit and a bathrobe with the hotel logo on it, and then rest on the couch on the beach. Personally, I think Yalong Bay is suitable for vacation. I don't need to go to other scenic spots. I enjoy the star service of the hotel every day and swim on the beach to bask in the sun.
Dadonghai: If you are visiting Sanya for the first time, tourists who don't rent a car are advised to stay in Dadonghai. There are many hotels of all grades. The prices of first-line hotels near the beach (but not as high as Yalong Bay) are relatively high, such as South China, Yintai (with more foreigners), Pearl, Hetai, etc. There are many real sea view rooms, but there are no other buildings. Second-tier hotels (not directly adjacent to the sea) are cheaper, such as Huaxin, which is not far from the beach, and it takes less than 5 minutes to walk to the beach, but the so-called sea view rooms are covered by buildings. We live in Huaxin, the price is more than 311 (big bed sea view room), and neither the hardware nor the environment feels like a quasi-four-star. I recommend Hetai, which is small but exquisite. It was completed in 2118. We went to the front desk to inquire about the price. The most common room was in 511 yuan before October, and the room with sea view was about 711. It seems that the price is much more expensive, but if I stay in Dadonghai, Sanya again, I will definitely choose a first-line hotel.
There are a few additional notes about accommodation:
First, choose what you need. According to the quotation of travel agency freelancers, the second-line hotel in Yalong Bay is about 2311, the second-line hotel in Dadonghai is about 1611, and the first-line hotel in Dadonghai is about 2111. Some people say that it is better to live in Yalong Bay than to live in Dadonghai. However, what about other costs? The cost of transportation and meals will also increase a lot! Therefore, don't compare the absolute price, the key is to see if you have a car, whether to go on vacation or to the scenic spot, and how much time you have to go to the city.
Secondly, the front desk clerk of Hetai told us that it is more convenient to make a reservation directly by phone or to leave a free agent through a travel agency, and the price is not more than tens of yuan. After staying at Huaxin Haobiao for the first night, we couldn't bear to change the sea view room (I hope there is more space). As a result, the hotel can't be changed directly, and the travel agency must agree. The difference in the middle is the decision of the travel agency, which is extremely inconvenient!
As for family hostels, as long as they are distributed in two places: Dadonghai and Sanya Bay.
The bay in Dadonghai is not only lively day and night, but many tourists and citizens like to swim, play, eat and barbecue at the seaside stalls, and there are beautiful and enchanting fireworks blooming in the night sky at night, where they feel rich and fulfilling. The sunset in Sanya Bay is the most beautiful, with golden beaches and golden sea. The only drawback is that you can't swim. Except for a safe zone designated by the hotel, other places suggest not to swim without authorization, because there are no safety measures.
It's hard to say which one is close to the urban area, depending on the specific location where you live. Dadonghai is about one kilometer from the urban area, while Sanya Bay extends from the urban area to the ends of the earth. Sanya Bay is two or three kilometers long in the urban area. It is recommended to stay in Dadonghai.
The family hotel in Dadonghai is very close to Haidu, with convenient transportation. I recommend a family hotel in Dadonghai, "Coconut Sea Style Residence", which is a 3-minute walk from the sea. It has not been opened for a long time, and the decoration service is in place. The boss is a Northeastern, enthusiastic, and has a kitchen to cook for free. The boss can also help with the processing of seafood for free.
Wenchang Chicken recommends Liguo Restaurant. Sanya locals go there a lot, and it is on Wenming Road (next to Hexi Fire Squadron). However, if you are used to eating Sichuan food and go to eat white-cut Wenchang chicken, you really can't feel happy, and there is more oil. However, each table in this restaurant is equipped with a jar of pepper and garlic, which is a good seasoning. I've tasted two or three other dishes in this restaurant, and I think it's average. However, I saw the guest next door order a plate of white water squid, which seemed to be eaten with seasoning. It looked very good. In addition, Hainan's "sweet potato" refers to sweet potato, so we don't know where to order a fried sweet potato leaf. As a result, it looks like fried sweet potato tip, which is extremely depressed!
Jiaji Duck recommends Qionghai Goose Jiaji Duck Hotel. It is said to be a restaurant, but it is actually a restaurant drawn by civilians. It was recommended by local 114 in order to eat Jiaji duck. It is on Friendship Road (opposite to No.N Primary School in Sanya). Jiaji duck is also white-cut, and the meat is not too fatty, which is better than Wenchang chicken, but it is still not as good as braised duck. The soup in this restaurant is very affordable. Peanut trotters soup is 15 yuan, and peanuts and trotters are crazy. Fried leek with goose blood tastes close to Sichuan cuisine. When we found this restaurant, it was after 2 noon, and our later guests ordered Jiaji duck, which was sold out. I don't know if it is accidental or it really sells well. I suggest you go early.
After eating Wenchang chicken and Jiaji duck, I'm not going to eat Dong goat. Hele crab goes to the food stall to eat, as shown in the following. According to the introduction of authentic Hainan cuisine, you can go to "Haiya Restaurant". According to the local people, it is more expensive and the location is not easy to find, so you didn't go.
(2) Seafood
When you eat seafood in Sanya, you must not go to scenic spots or restaurants, but go to food stalls. There are big food stalls everywhere in Sanya, and we finally asked about the location of the "Spring Garden" after tossing and turning. Spring Garden has been renovated recently, and only the back row in the square sells seafood. The waiter in the processing shop there can take you to the back row to buy, and will also take you to the "old fisherman seafood" next door to choose seafood (there should be a rebate). We have compared, "old fishermen" are cheaper, and the price is similar to that in the first market mentioned in the Raiders. Hele crab is more delicious and more expensive than green cream crab. Grouper, rich shrimp, sea urchin steamed eggs are more refreshing. Note: The processing point claims that the processing fee is 5 yuan per catty, only for fish, shrimp and crab, and less than one catty counts as one catty. And shellfish such as scallops, scallops and small abalone are every 3 yuan. Steamed eggs with sea urchin is one in 5 yuan (because it needs to be steamed). It's best to look at the processing charge price card on the table first. As to whether seafood, fruit and cold water can be eaten together, we dare not try our best, but according to the only boss who sells drinks in the square, it's okay. In addition, it is said that Spring Garden doesn't process things outside now (such as seafood from the first market), so we are too busy eating to ask. As I said just now, the price of the seafood shop they brought is similar to that of the first market, so they are too lazy to carry a long way and give others a little profit.
(3) Snacks
From the perspective of personal taste, the famous snacks in Sanya, such as Bao Luo powder, are far from my expected value, and so are sweet potato cakes and papaya cakes ... alas! Everyone has different tastes,
