Family travel in Sanya is the first choice for many parents. As a city with a top tropical island climate in my country, Sanya is very well-known. It is also a must-go place for many northerners to go on vacation in winter. It is very beautiful. A good place, I will share with you the specific strategy guide below.
We purchased round-trip air tickets online in advance, departing from Shenyang Taoxian Airport at 15:50 on July 15, 2020, and returning to Sanya at 8:20 on July 19, 2020. Be careful when buying air tickets. , because we bought a special ticket of 11 and an infant ticket, the special ticket does not include free luggage. Infant tickets under 2 years old are 10 of the regular ticket price, including 10KG of free luggage and a baby car space.
This is something we didn’t know before, and we only learned about it later after doing the guide. Therefore, in order to control the weight of our luggage, my wife and I kept a lot of things that we can take or not take with us. Mosquitoes, baby bottles, milk powder, snacks, water bottles, etc. are mainly messy things.
(Sanya’s sunshine and mosquitoes are two major poisons. You must be careful when taking children out.) Our home is in Liaoyang, an hour’s drive from Taoxian Airport. I asked friends at the airport to find out about many hotels nearby. You can store your car and get free airport pick-up, which costs 20 per day. This is much cheaper than parking at the airport.
(After testing the water, I feel that it is very reliable. Friends in need can send me a private message and I will send you the phone number of the hotel) It doesn’t matter if there are adults on the plane. Children, especially infants, must adjust their schedules when flying. , leave the long sleep on the plane, bring plenty of snacks and water, as well as cartoons that babies love to watch.
There is a pressure difference when the plane is ascending and descending. The baby must be allowed to chew and swallow to relieve the pressure on the eardrum. However, I feel that my daughter does not feel anything. Her expression is more natural than mine. It is a strange woman. Ha ha.
We arrived at Sanya Airport at about 22:00. The mode of travel we chose was to rent a car. The staff drove us to a car rental company near the airport with a deposit of 1,500 (returned after 30 days if there is no violation). At that time, the driver gave way. I voluntarily bought insurance for the car. There are two types of insurance. One is 30 RMB per day, which covers scratches on the car but does not cover the glass. The other is 50 RMB per day, which means we don’t need to take care of anything except the accident. We will drive away after checking that the car is in good condition. , there is no need to inspect the car when you come back and you can just hand it over.
Although I have a sense of forced marketing, after careful consideration, I chose to buy the 5-day 50 insurance. The reason is that if I am not familiar with the place, it would be too troublesome to come back and make a claim if the car is scratched or the glass is broken. Yu spent money to buy peace of mind, rented a car and drove directly to the first residence in Sanya, 107, to make an appointment.
107 Yousu is a typical place for internet celebrities to check in. The room decoration is similar to the Nordic minimalist style, and the details are generally cut corners as can be seen from the toiletries and bathroom facilities. The breakfast the next day was amazing, the fried rice noodles were super delicious, and the side dishes and fruits were also great.
The water in the swimming pool was very hot at 8 o'clock in the morning just after cleaning. The temperature in Sanya is indeed unusual. 107 is very suitable for taking photos and producing films. The photographer needs to make an appointment in advance. The accommodation fee includes 2 free photos. You can consume the other photos by yourself (the usual routine of photo studios). At 12:00 we checked out and ended our 107 tour and drove to the next stop, Baihua Valley Commercial Street.
The restaurant I ate at for the first time in Sanya was called Qiong Cai Restaurant, which specializes in local dishes and seafood. It was very popular. There was also a restaurant called Hainan Food Stall that was also crowded, but it didn’t have air conditioning. We had children. Decisively choose the first Qiongcai restaurant. I ordered a few local specialties. Since my wife and I often eat seafood in Linhai, Liaoning, we didn’t order any seafood.
The first time I ate Hainan’s Qingbu Liang, I found that it contained all my favorite foods. Barley, red beans, watermelon, coconut milk, red dates, and dried fruit ice. It was really cool and quenching thirst and cooling down the heat. Shrimp cakes It was a little cold when it arrived. It must have been the finished product. The taste is similar to Liaoning's fried potato cakes. It's not amazing but not unpalatable. If you haven't tried it before, you can give it a try, but I visited Sanya to try the most authentic ones. For snacks, go to the little dirty shops on the streets.
The first bite of pineapple fried rice is amazing. The sweetness of pineapple and the aroma of animal fat are very satisfying when paired with the slender rice. The original flavor is not too much seasoning. After eating it, you may It was a bit greasy due to the excessive intake of lard or chicken fat, but it still couldn't cover up its delicious taste.
The only local dish he recommended was Hainanese black tofu. The drama said it was tofu ground with local black beans. It had a salty and fresh taste with a hint of sweetness. I didn’t know but thought it was from a small restaurant in Northeast China. As for the braised tofu, the only difference is that the fiber of the tofu is thicker. This dish is 48 yuan, the most expensive dish. I feel like I was cheated by this dish. I strongly do not recommend it.
There is also no price on either the menu or the menu. It is best to ask for the price before ordering. One dish that left an unforgettable impression on me is Gillian’s fried rice noodles. The ingredients are the same as those in snail noodles. Yes, it's sour and smelly, but it's very fragrant. It's loved by both adults and children. It's the only dish that comes on the disc, and I highly recommend it. The service in this store is really good. You get dried mushrooms as a gift when you first come in. The service attitude is beyond praise.
After dinner, it was time to go to bed at 11, so I had to drive to the next B&B - Lincong Unnatural. The drive from Yalong Bay to Haitang Bay takes about 1***40 minutes. I complained about the two-way traffic lanes in Yalong Bay. There are few traffic lights, but the speed limit is 60 mph throughout the journey, 30 mph in some places, and there are no traffic lights at some turning intersections. The speed of the car has slowed down, but I admit that I can't drive this car.
I was taken to the old forest of Morishan by going against nature. There is a coconut grove around the B&B, and there is a 25-meter swimming pool, which is really a plus. The first impression I got when I entered the lobby It's like a youth hostel. The decoration is retro and miscellaneous. The waiters are very enthusiastic, but the hardware facilities are not perfect. I was pleasantly surprised when I entered the room. There was a spacious double bed and a bunk bed for children. The furniture, sofa and dressing table were of very good quality. Most importantly, the bedding was very clean and the toiletries were much higher-end than 107. There is an artificial bird's nest on the roof of the fifth floor overlooking the coconut grove, where you can also take pictures. There is a small bar below where you can drink some wine in the evening. There are many gauze curtains and some decorations around the swimming pool for taking pictures. Be sure to protect yourself from mosquitoes when you go!!! Breakfast is not included in the neighborhood and you need to order extra. It is recommended to eat steamed noodles. It tastes very good and recommended!!! There is nothing to eat nearby. Next door is a farmyard. If you want to eat real local dishes, you can try it one time. Binlin is very close to the duty-free shop. There are many people at night. The food is expensive and not delicious. It is not recommended to try it. I saw a few watch shops with incomplete styles and I was allergic to local pineapples at 11, so I left in a hurry. If you have time, buy it on the official website. . The next day, my daughter-in-law begged the photographer to step in and take some photos. She tanned herself under the scorching sun at noon just to take a few photos. I also admired her spirit. After checking out of the room, she went straight to the Atlantis Hotel.
The purpose of coming here is to take my daughter to see the underwater world. At that time, I wanted to spend money to go to the Lost Chambers Aquarium. Later, I read the guide and wrote that you can see the underwater world on the first floor of the hotel, and I was afraid that I wouldn't want to stay for a long time after entering, so I didn't go in. Nowadays, the management is relatively loose. We followed the crowd and easily blended into the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel. There is a glass wall tens of meters high. It is said that there are 86,000 marine creatures and 280 species of marine creatures. It feels really shocking to me. 11 is also very Excitedly shouting: Shark, shark, swim. There are also keepers who dive deep inside to feed the animals. It’s a worthwhile trip if your financial conditions allow you to dive there.
After watching Underwater World, I felt like I had made a profit. I had to take my daughter to the souvenir shop to spend some money. Haha, I was so happy. I bought a doll wearing a shark suit and a seal keychain. The quality is very good and the shape is very beautiful. I happily ended my trip to Atlantis and drove to eat Coconut Chicken (Yalong Bay store)
We We arrived at around 4 o'clock and there were four tables in front of us. It seemed to be open at fixed hours, so it's best to call in advance to avoid being empty.
The set meal I ordered on Meituan included a cold dish with fish, two coconut jelly (both eaten by my wife), and a coconut chicken pot. The coconut meat and coconut juice inside are dug on site at the door. The Wenchang chicken is similar to the Northeastern Liuda chicken. The meat is very tender and not sticky, and the soup is very delicious. It is quite delicious when paired with the dipping sauce they prepared.
The main reason is that my wife is happy.
Let’s focus on this restaurant. The ingredients are very fresh and the service is excellent. The waiter will ask you what you need, how it tastes, etc. The cooking time of the ingredients is also accurate to the second. I feel that the service is not inferior to Haidilao. After eating and drinking, we headed to the next stop: Jiuyue. Beautiful accommodation in life.
My first impression of Jiuyue is that it is hotel-like. Whether it is the electric door entering the lobby, the overall decoration style, service and management, supporting facilities, and toiletries, they are all hotel-like. The details are well done, with lots of greening and vegetation, and anti-mosquito treatment (which I think is very thoughtful). The overall design style is very simple but the design content is very rich. A lot of thought has been put into the details. There is a small clearing beside the swimming pool. Well, there are a lot of people drinking and chatting at night, but it’s not noisy.
A borderless swimming pool of about 20 meters. There are three separate rooms beside the swimming pool. Our family lives in the middle one. It feels like jumping into the swimming pool when no one is around in the morning and evening. So cool. Jiuyue is the most expensive night of accommodation in this trip to Sanya, but I really feel it is worth the money. Free breakfast is provided the next day, which is passable. Next, I originally planned to go diving on a private island, but it was inconvenient to take the 11 with me, and the sun was too strong for a long time. I was afraid of heat stroke, so I decided to give up and choose Wuzhizhou Island.
It’s hot, it’s really hot. The weather forecast is cloudy. Where are the clouds? Who’s eating them? I panicked as soon as the heat wave hit the island, and the square entering the island was not covered. I thought it would be expensive, but luckily I made enough preparations for sun protection (long clothes, sun hat and sunscreen).
There are many tourists on the island this month. There are performances by foreign song and dance troupes on the island. At first glance, it is a well-developed tourist island, with amusement parks like Discovery Kingdom and Fantawild, and marine projects inside. There are so many entertainment options, including motorboats, diving, helicopter flights, and weightless flights, etc. I didn’t do any of them because I was too exposed to the sun and was afraid of heatstroke at 11.
After seeing flamingos, ostriches, alpacas, peacocks and other small animals on the island, we walked through the dense tropical vegetation along the winding mountain road. Since 11 has been prone to sweating since childhood and is afraid of heat, for safety reasons, our trip to Wuzhizhou Island ended halfway through.
The island is actually quite good, and the supporting facilities are quite mature in all aspects. You can actually have a lot of fun without bringing your baby, haha. Since I had to return the car on the 19th and it was a morning flight, I chose a B&B that was ten minutes drive from the airport - my
home island.
Since the price was the lowest, I didn’t have high hopes for this B&B, but I was a little surprised when I came in. The whole thing is very clean, and the minimalist style is simple but not simple when put together. How simple is it? The toilet and bathroom don't even have a door facing the bed, just two curtains. Haha, I don't mean it in a derogatory way, but I just don't get used to it.
The overall feeling is like a clean small hotel. The people staying here are very mixed and most of them are tourists rather than tourists. It feels like a stranger in a foreign land. There are not so many complicated backgrounds, but the photos are also very good. If you consider the cost-effectiveness, you can choose this one.
The next was my last dinner in Sanya. I chose the Little Dolphin Seafood. I ordered a set meal of 178, which included a portion of shredded potatoes, boiled shrimp, a steamed sea fish, and boiled clams. A large bottle of Sprite, garlic scallops and two bowls of rice.
There are also seafood such as king crab, wave dragon, and bread crab in the house. There are a wide range of seafood, and the focus is on freshness. Since it can be eaten in Liaoning, our family didn’t order anything else if we couldn’t finish it. .
I would like to commend the overall service level of Sanya's tourism and catering industry by name. Maybe it's because I have a good idea and the stores I encounter are very enthusiastic, which is commendable. Let’s talk about the dishes. The shredded potatoes are better than those in ordinary restaurants and can be ranked as middle-to-upper-class. The seafood is very fresh. I personally recommend blanching and steaming it so that you can enjoy the deliciousness of the seafood.
The garlic scallops are just average. Any barbecue restaurant in the Northeast can make them. The drink shop next door, Qingbu Liang, is really delicious. 20 yuan a bowl is a bit expensive, but the taste is I'll buy it if it costs 40 a bowl in the north. The Indian flying pancake next door is really Indian. I really can’t eat it and leave it to you friends in the headlines.
I am overall satisfied with this store. I recommend you to try it. At least I think it is worth the price.
(Parking is not easy. There is a paid parking lot next to the hospital. You can park there.) After eating and drinking, the family of three took my daughter’s five-piece sand digging set to the Sanya Bay beach opposite the Little Dolphin. The sea water in Sanya Bay is very clean and blue, with waves rushing one after another. The sea breeze carries the salty smell of sea water, which makes every pore of the body seem to be opened.
11 was very happy and kept muttering: It’s fun. Our family of three was building a wall on the beach, and our little feet were buried in the waves. The lights at night illuminated the backs of the three of us stretching very long on the beach. We played until very late and then reluctantly returned to the B&B.
The next day is the procedure, so I won’t go into details.
The cost of the trip to Sanya:
The air ticket is 350*2,340 for going there and 585*2,340 for the return trip.
Accommodation: 107 Meisu 368, Linlin 476, Jiuyue 511, myhome island 176, Wuzhizhou Island 126*2, car refueling 200, car rental 332, parking 100, meal fee: Qiong Cuisine Restaurant 152, Little Dolphin 178, Duty Free Shop 100. The consumption per day is 5385, plus 6000 for miscellaneous items.
To sum up this trip to Sanya, although traveling with 11 is very tiring and does not get to do many fun activities, and we have to take care of his daily diet, but the whole process will be unpredictable. Unknowingly close the distance with your children.
One to two years old is the explosive period for children to perceive external things. On the plane, 11 learned to exchange toys with the little brother in the front row and share them with each other. In the past, it was always two words, two words, collapse, come back. After that, we both felt amazing that we could say three words in one breath.
And suddenly I feel that my child has grown up. This feeling is not about how much taller he has grown or what he has learned, but like a flower that is growing up little by little every day. Goodbye sun, beach, waves, cacti.
