A family of three went to Sanya during the summer vacation. Starting from Pudong, Shanghai on the morning of 8.9, and returning in the afternoon of 8.13, it took only three days to pinch the head and go to the tail. In addition, there are many play arrangements, and the trip is particularly tense, and the play experience is also somewhat discounted. During the period, I also encountered many accidents, such as trauma, long delay of the plane, illness of the child, etc. To be honest, this trip to Sanya was really a bit bumpy. But in any case, the sea in Sanya is really beautiful. After seeing the sea in Sanya, the sea in other parts of China is really not enough. Based on this, although the trip to Sanya is very bumpy, it is worthwhile.
Before I go, I told my father that you should consider it a group tour. The implication is that I am busy with air tickets, hotels, pick-up and drop-off, etc. If there is anything I can't do, don't complain constantly. However, as it turns out, my plan as a tour leader is well formulated, but the implementation is very unreliable.
because I'm taking my children to play, I'm positioning this trip as a "parent-child tour". The whole play plan is to wake up naturally on the first day, and then take the children to play on the beach, the children's paradise in the hotel and the scarecrow farm. Take a day off to 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. The online commentary said that although this hotel is a bit old, it focuses on parent-child brands and has good facilities for children. The water quality and beach quality of Yalong Bay, where the hotel is located, are superior, so children can have a good time on the hotel's own beach. In addition, I booked an accommodation package on the hotel official website more than one month in advance, which was successfully upgraded to a small suite of reef swimming pool, so that children can go to the swimming pool from the hotel balcony, which is very convenient. The package also includes a Thai lunch package, a seafood buffet BBQ dinner, and a Chinese dinner package, which solves most of the three meals a day. In terms of travel, it is naturally an airplane. Considering that flight delay is normal, delay insurance is specially set. Also considering the problem of flight delay, children may have a hard time. On the return trip, they also booked VIP service for waiting. In order to facilitate travel, I made an appointment to pick up Ctrip.
before you leave, you should also prepare clothes and related items according to the guide. Pay attention to the following points:
Be sure to bring all relevant certificates, especially those of children. For example, children who have not applied for an ID card need to bring the original medical certificate of birth, and it is also necessary to bring the household registration book (although it is not used later).
I bought all the clothes in one stop at 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 antipyretics, cold medicines, medicines for diarrhea and antiallergic medicines for children.
bring a book or two, or a kindle. In the five or six hours of flight delay, it was all about watching "Three-body".
Make sure the phone has enough space to take photos, and export the previous photos in advance.

ok, this is the whole play plan and the preliminary preparation. But what is the actual situation?
8.11 is the first day, basically according to the plan. I will wake up naturally, then have breakfast and arrive at the beach around 9: 31. Two-year-old children can really forget to eat and sleep all day on the beach. After lunch, I naturally wake up after lunch break, and then continue to play on the beach and swim in the pool. Then dinner.
the problem was the next day. After breakfast, we have been entangled in where to play. It's ok to stay in the hotel beach and swimming pool all the time, but I always feel that it's a bit too much to go to the hotel for a trip to Sanya. But if you want to go to the island, it's already very late, and you haven't booked a one-day tour on the first day. If you go that day, you'll 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 I can go back to the hotel to eat BBQ when I come back in the afternoon. However, 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 and the sudden failure of shoes, the whole play experience was very poor, and the two adults were very tired.
on the third day, I decided to go to the island. This is a one-day tour of the demarcation continent in advance. The quality of seawater in Jiebian Island is better than that in Yalong Bay. It is crystal clear, and the color of seawater is very clear, but the beach is very thick, and many shell fragments are easy to 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 was already 12 o'clock when we arrived on the island, and we couldn't catch the performance at 12: 31, so we chose to watch the one at 15:31. In the meantime, I took my children to the seabed for diving and sightseeing, and his father went diving, and finally we met in hong kong ocean park. Well, this time the problem lies in the place of underwater diving and sightseeing. First of all, we have to wait for a long time, buy tickets and arrive at the assembly point at 12: 31, and the staff told us that we can't get on the boat until 13: 15. Then I'll wait. The children ate a bun and drank some coconut water. 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 that this ship was just a connection. The first batch of tourists just got on the submarine, so we need to wait for the first batch of tourists to come back before we can go. By the time he got out of the hot and stuffy submarine, it was around 14:31, and the child could not help falling asleep. Where could he afford to see the big turtles, dolphins and corals raised by hong kong ocean park? He had to hurry out of hong kong ocean park to meet his father. I didn't get a hot meal until early three o'clock, and the gathering time of the one-day tour was 4: 31 to leave the island, which shows how hurried we are! After returning to the hotel, I ordered a takeaway. In order to make up for the regret that I couldn't go to the city to eat seafood, I ordered some seafood stir-fry and so on, and also ordered steamed eggs with sea urchins for my children. After dinner, go swimming in the pool, and then dig sand at the seaside. That night, the child was feverish, and the next morning, his stomach began to feel uncomfortable, which made it almost impossible to follow up for 2 hours in the morning. When he got on the plane in the afternoon, the child began to have diarrhea, so don't mention how embarrassed he was all the way.
I changed from a "parent-child tour" to a three-day trip to Sanya in a hurry. I wanted to see all the beautiful things in Sanya and eat all the delicious things. As a result, I didn't play well, didn't eat well, and made my children sick! The reason is still the traditional idea of "visiting here": if you spend money, you want to see more, and if you miss a scenic spot and take a photo, you feel that you have lost a lot. In fact, the landscape 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 visit the scenic spots in the urban area or near Yalong Bay the next day, and the physical consumption of adults is not very large. Or put the island tour on the second day, and arrange a lighter project on the third day. After all, on the morning of the fourth day, we also arranged a two-hour follow-up shoot at the seaside. If we are too tired, the children will not be able to cooperate well. Or while the child is in good condition, you should put the follow-up on the afternoon of the first day. In short, if you play with your children, you can't be in a hurry or too tired.

Let's talk about traveling again. It must be a plane to Sanya, and the raiders say that you can go to Haikou, and then go to Sanya by high-speed rail or by car, but if you take your children, it is better to go directly to Sanya Phoenix Airport. However, when booking a plane ticket, you must not buy a "stopover" flight without considering the take-off and landing time. This is my biggest mistake as the tour leader in Sanya! The air tickets coming and going are all from Pudong to Sanya via Wenzhou, which is more than 2 hours longer than the direct flight. I really don't know what my eyes thought when I booked the air ticket. In addition, when booking air tickets, it is best to buy delay insurance. August is the season with high incidence of lightning and typhoons. We were delayed for more than six hours when we went there, and for more than four hours when we came back, until we lost our temper at last. However, Ctrip soon sent the delay claim information after landing, which was a little comforting.
when booking air tickets in Ctrip, I will also ask you if you want to book 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 delayed and the children are not very comfortable. We booked the Longteng VIP waiting, with light meals, snacks and so on, which is more comfortable, but there is a time limit of 2 hours.
finally, there is the problem of picking up and dropping off the plane. Yalong Bay is far from Phoenix Airport, and considering the delay, sometimes it will be very late, and it is not very convenient to call a car. It is best to book a pick-up and drop-off plane 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 a plane ticket in Ctrip, I also ordered a special bus to get home from the airport after arriving in Pudong, mainly because the delay mentioned in the publicity will be met. Ctrip's service is really good. The delay time is determined in advance, and the plane delay is solved very quickly if there is a problem in the middle. It didn't arrive in Pudong until 2 am on the 4th.
Finally, let's talk about taxis in Sanya. There are a lot of posts on the Raiders about the cheating and fooling of Sanya taxis. We also took a taxi once, and the feeling was not so obvious. First of all, we must be psychologically prepared. In Sanya, a tourist city, 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 spots and get points, and then the scenic spots will take care of a lunch. For another example, we got into a taxi to go to Yalong Bay Rainforest Paradise Park at first, but we went to Yanoda under the driver's introduction. This is a willing thing. For one thing, I have done the raiders and I know very well that the fare is definitely more expensive than the plan. However, considering that there is a waterfall in Yanoda that can be shown to children, we can't say that people are fooling you. Secondly, the driver's price is not outrageous. Because we were worried that the return taxi was not easy to call, we all called the same taxi back and forth, which was a chartered car. We didn't hit the meter. 211 yuan. It's ok to compare the chartered car price on Ctrip. Third, it eliminates the time to queue up to buy tickets. The driver also specially led us to the entrance of the scenic spot and introduced some useful experiences. Of course, it still costs more than a day trip. In a word, the taxi service in Sanya is not as bad as expected. Of course, it is not ruled out that you are unlucky to meet a few unreliable drivers.
