Sanya is a very suitable place for holiday travel. Nature has given the most pleasant climate, the freshest air, the warmest sunshine, the bluest sea water, the softest beach, the most beautiful women and the most delicious seafood to the southernmost coastal tourist city in China. If it is convenient for friends who are going to Sanya, print a copy and take it with you for reference.
This "Sanya Self-help Travel Guide" consists of seven parts, namely: preparation; Accommodation articles; Traffic articles; Play articles; Food articles; Shopping articles; Other articles;
First, the preparation-Sanya travel preparation before departure
Sanya has beautiful sunshine and beautiful beaches, but remember to do a good job of sun protection. Sunscreen above SPF30 must be equipped, and after-sun calming lotion, moisturizing spray and whitening mask can be brought. Shampoo and conditioner are also necessary. Sea water is very harmful to your hair. If the hotel can't meet your requirements, you can bring it yourself.
When you arrive in Sanya, you must go to the sea. You should prepare your swimsuit, swimming glasses and earplugs. Change clothes (large temperature difference between day and night, long sleeves must be brought), sun umbrellas, sun hats, sunglasses and beach slippers should also be brought.
We should also prepare some medicines. Anti-allergic drugs, cold medicines, antidiarrheal drugs, painkillers, band-AIDS, eye drops, sterilized cotton balls, etc. Also, if you want to eat seafood, bring some norfloxacin and berberine or Niuhuang Jiedu tablets. Don't forget your mobile phone, camera and charger. Take a walkman, pen and paper, and prepare a little snacks and food you like.
The most important thing is to remember to bring enough cash. Apart from accommodation and bigger shopping malls, credit cards are hard to use in Sanya, and there are not many ATMs.
Must-take items when going out (list)
1. Each passenger's ID card, air ticket, hotel reservation confirmation form and Sanya travel information;
2. Cash (bring more, usually cash except accommodation); Credit card. Recommendation: Pudong Development Card, which does not charge off-site and inter-bank fees; 3. Mobile phone (don't forget to pay before leaving), and charger, DV and charger; If it is DC, you need to bring a large-capacity memory card. It is recommended to bring a 5 12 megabyte SD card, and don't come back until the memory card is full.
4. Replacement clothes and swimsuits;
5. Take a carry-on bag that can be worn in front of your body. You can put your wallet and mobile phone in it and take it with you to prevent it from being stolen. Don't bring too much cash, put it in several cards.
6. paper; Pen; You can record something;
7. Drugs: anti-allergic drugs; Antidiarrheal drugs; Cold medicine; Painkillers; Band-Aid; Sterilized cotton balls, etc.;
8. Sunglasses, sun hat, recommendation: There are many beautiful hats to sell there, so you can go to Sanya and buy them again; Anti-ultraviolet parasols (many hotels also have their own umbrellas, and they may not take them);
9. What girls who love beauty should bring: high SPF sunscreen (recommended: Xinbi SPF30), after-sun calming lotion, moisturizing spray, whitening night cream, whitening mask, makeup remover, wet paper towels, feminine products, shampoo; Hair care essence (essential, seawater is very harmful to hair, and the hair provided by the hotel is not suitable for everyone);
10. Prepare a large travel bag (preferably a foldable cloth, and bring it when not in use) for later use. I believe you will need it when you come back.
Second, the accommodation-hotel choice
Sanya has three main bays: Dadonghai, Sanya Bay and Yalong Bay.
Yalong Bay is the most beautiful bay. The sea water is layered in color, the beach is whiter, shells can also be picked up, and there are many sand crabs at night. However, the consumption of Yalong Bay Hotel is relatively the highest, which is far away from the urban area (more than 20 kilometers), making it inconvenient to shop, eat and travel. But you can still consider staying here for 1-2 nights. If MONEY allows, you can stay in Yalong Bay directly, or you can consider staying in a thatched cottage in wuzhizhou for one night. Yalong Bay is dominated by five-star hotels, with good beaches and environment, but there are no other catering facilities except restaurants in the hotel, so eating is more expensive. Take a taxi to downtown, and it takes 60-70 yuan to get back and forth.
Although there are free shuttle buses in the hotel, they all stagger the meal time. Dadonghai was developed the earliest, but the planning in the area was chaotic, and the sea and beach were not as good as Yalong Bay. The hotel price was cheaper than Yalong Bay, and the dining was more convenient. Sanya Bay is a beach that Sanya Municipal Government has invested heavily in greening and reconstruction in recent years. The Coconut Dream Corridor mentioned on the Internet is here. The beach is flatter than that in Yalong Bay, and the sand is finer (this is the case in Haiyue Square, which is sandy in the direction of blue sea and blue sky, and the beach has begun to muddy in the opposite direction, and the government is currently working on treatment). You can also watch the beautiful sunset, but the quality of the sea water is not as good as that in Yalong Bay. Choose a hotel, preferably a seaside hotel or a hotel with a private beach. You don't have to spend more money to live in a sea view room.
In fact, I don't spend much time in my room except sleeping at night every day. When I am interested in looking at the sea by the railing, I have long thought of going straight to the sea. In addition, there are many old hotels in Sanya, so it's best to stay in newly-built hotels, which have relatively good hardware facilities.
About the choice of sea view room and garden view room: if there is no money to spend, if there is no special reason, there is no need to choose sea view room. No matter from the room area, furniture configuration to decoration style, there is no important difference between garden view room and sea view room. I hope everyone can consume rationally and choose correctly in this respect. When you stand on the beach, the strong sea breeze attacks every part of your body, and finally understand how wrong it is to look at the sea in your room. The tide rises and falls, listen to its voice, and you can only feel it if you approach it and get close to it.
About the check-in time and check-out time (12 o'clock) of the hotel: according to the regulations, the check-in time of the hotel is set at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and the check-out time is at noon 12 o'clock.
Because it takes at least 45 minutes for a star hotel to clean a room. Therefore, the hotel needs to set aside time to clean. However, under normal circumstances, as long as the room is dissatisfied, guests will not be asked to check in at 2 pm, and you can also ask for LATE CHECK OUT until 2 pm, and the hotel will not charge more, of course, provided that the room is not full.
If you want MONEY not to allow it (or want to save money), try a family hotel in Sanya. Family hotels in Sanya are mainly concentrated in Sanya Bay and Dadonghai. The bay in Dadonghai is not only very lively day and night, but many tourists and citizens like to swim, play, eat and barbecue at the seaside stalls, and beautiful and enchanting fireworks bloom 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, it is recommended not to swim without authorization because there are no safety measures.
It's hard to say which is close to the urban area. Depending on your specific location, 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. I suggest living in Dadonghai.
The advantage of Dadonghai is that it is close to the urban area, convenient for shopping, eating, traveling and entertainment, and there are fireworks on the beach at night, which is economical and practical.
The family hotel in Dadonghai is very close to Haidu, and the transportation is convenient. I recommend a family hotel in Dadonghai to you, "Coconut Sea Style Residence", which is 3 minutes' 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 seafood processing for free, even washing machines and freezers. It feels very home.
The boss can also help you introduce the itinerary and price of each scenic spot. Hehe, people are really nice,
Third, traffic articles:
1, Sanya Phoenix Airport is 20km away from the urban area, and there are buses directly from the airport to the urban area (fare 10 yuan). The taxi price should be controlled around 30 yuan. Taxi drivers who pick up the plane at the airport will enthusiastically introduce how free the tour is and how good the scenic spots are. Believe that "there is no such thing as a free lunch", they will tease you to spend (tickets, meals, shopping, they all have a commission). Remember two things when taking a taxi in Sanya: one is not to hire a car, and the other is not to visit or spend money anywhere he recommends.
2. Taxi prices in Sanya are all bargains, so don't let them meter. Basically, Sanya is all in 5 yuan (capped 10 yuan), Dadonghai to downtown 7 yuan, downtown Dadonghai 10 yuan, Yalong Bay to Dadonghai 40-50 yuan, and Dadonghai to the ends of the earth is no more than 50 yuan. Most taxi drivers charge exorbitant prices, so you should cut them boldly. Don't let the hotel doorman call a car, go out of the hotel door and stop a passing car on the road.
3. Drivers in Sanya are famous for earning kickbacks. To tell you the truth, for example, to go to wuzhizhou, the total ticket price is 128 yuan/person-time, but the driver can get a rebate as high as 40 yuan when he sends one person, so even if you don't give a taxi fare, someone will take you there. However, they will still bargain for you in a decent way, and you should resolutely expose the huge profits behind it. On the return trip, because there is no rebate, their offer price is higher. If it is really necessary, you can temporarily find several people to carpool back.
4. Buses should be fully utilized. There is only one main street (Jiefang Road) in the urban area, which runs north and south. You can use this road as the coordinate axis to go to major scenic spots, shopping and food destinations. Bus No.202 is very convenient, with many flights (all seats are available), enthusiastic conductor and driver, and low price (no ticket sales 1 yuan/person). How to really feel a city? Take a bus.
5. From Yalong Bay to the ends of the earth via Dadonghai, there is also a double-decker tourist bus that runs every half hour. Dadonghai to Tianya Haijiao, 5 yuan in Yalong Bay, Tianya Haijiao to 8 yuan in Yalong Bay, enjoying the scenery along the way, is very suitable for travelers. The bus fare is also within 5 yuan, but the order is more chaotic. In the urban area, you can take a bus in human tricycles (capped in 5 yuan), but you'd better not take a motorcycle.
6. If you can drive, you can consider renting a car all the way to avoid being affected. Only in this way can we really travel freely. The biggest advantage of renting a car is that you can adjust your route at any time, you can buy things as you like without being tired of luggage, and you don't have to be idle or get slaughtered for the driver's reasons.
7. Transportation from Yalong Bay to downtown: There is a shuttle bus from Yalong Bay to downtown Sanya, 5 yuan/person. You can take it at the entrance of Palme d 'Or or Underwater World. Very convenient. It comes every half hour, from 7: 00 a.m. to 7: 00 p.m. Along the way from Yalong Bay to Tiandu, Dadonghai, urban areas, the ends of the earth and airports. It costs 50-60 yuan to take a taxi to the city, and it will be cheaper to take a return bus in the city.
Four, play articles: Sanya is only suitable for self-tourists, not for group tours. The scenery in all places is not much different. It is suggested that it is enough to just go to Yalong Bay and wuzhizhou, and live quietly at the seaside with your loved ones for a while. That is really a very enjoyable thing.
1 The beaches and hotels in Yalong Bay are good and worth visiting. You don't have to buy a ticket, just walk along the beach and you can get in. The beaches in Yalong Bay are beautiful. When you come to Sanya, you just don't go anywhere, just stay on this beach every day, and you won't suffer. Swimming, walking and sunbathing on the couch are comfortable. Play with the hammock when you see it. It's very nice. If you like to walk, it is recommended to walk along the beach of Yalong Bay from the central square of Yalong Bay to Sheraton Hotel. When you come back, you can go through Wanhao Hotel and take the main road. There are few people here, and that quiet and distant feeling is like walking in your own garden.
2. Find out the weather before going to Wuzhizhou Island. You can't go to the island because of the wind and waves. Wuzhizhou Island has clear sea water and white beaches, which is the kind of beach in Summer Tea. The most beautiful scenery in wuzhizhou is in Lover Bridge. Standing on the shore, you can see the coral reefs at the bottom of the shallow sea. The sun-watching rock on the island is worth a visit, where you can see the endless sea. The blue sky and the boundless sea are connected together, which is very spectacular. If you are diving, I will recommend an economical and economical place for you. You can go to Lover's Bay, Queen Bay and Outdoor One.
Day trips. Mainly sea fishing, barbecue and diving. Wait, it's economical.
There is sightseeing bus on the island, and you can travel all over the island (half of the distance is inaccessible on foot). 80 yuan/person, and a Zhang Fengguang VCD). It's windy in wuzhizhou, so coats need to be prepared! To make full use of the hotel bathrobes, bath towels and slippers, it is sure to be useful to take these things with you.
The aquatic events in wuzhizhou are very complete. Diving is very good, mainly including shore diving and boat diving: the price is 350, 580 yuan/time, and there is a * * * website that is very cheap. Before diving, the coach will teach everyone the theoretical knowledge of diving. Even if you can't swim, it doesn't matter. When diving, the lift is controlled by the coach through the equipment. The banana boat is a threesome, so you need to wear a swimsuit or you will get soaked and throw you into the sea, but it's safe, and someone will save you, which feels like a titanic once. Motorboat offer 150 yuan/10 minutes, if boys and girls are together, then boys should take the initiative to sit in the back, because the back is easy to be thrown out, so be sure to pay attention to safety. 280 yuan/time is quoted for towing an umbrella at sea. The parachute is pulled up by a high-powered speedboat, and the parachute flutters in the air by the rapid advance of the speedboat. (But if you want to play these projects, you can negotiate with the driver, which can save a lot! ! )
3. You can try go on road trip. I'm afraid Sanya is the most suitable city for driving an open car in China. Rent a car and go for a ride in the famous Coconut Dream Corridor on Binhai Avenue in Sanya. Driving along the avenue from south to north, listening to the sound of waves lapping on the shore, breathing the fresh sea breeze and enjoying the sea view for a change of scenery are very pleasant. The avenue goes all the way to Sanya Bay, which takes about 30 minutes from beginning to end. There are also some seafood stalls and resorts along the way, so you can eat something and enjoy yourself when you are tired.
4. Friends who want to know more about the life of fishermen in Sanya can choose to go out to sea and feel the life of fishermen. Specific matters can be consulted with local fishermen. Other entertainment items are not recommended here. V. Gourmet articles Everyone must remember that you should never eat any business cards or cheap food stalls with free car transfers, and you can't even hesitate. If you don't believe it, you will regret it.
It is suggested that breakfast should be eaten in the hotel, lunch should be settled at random, and important dinner should be settled in the city. Breakfast in Sanya Hotel usually ends at 10: 30 in the morning, so you can safely sleep and wake up naturally. At the same time, it is recommended that the hotel try not to eat dinner.
One of the important activities of Sanya trip is to eat seafood, so start your trip to Sanya gourmet dinner now:
1.Seafood Processing Square for Laid-off Workers in Friendship Community (dinner choice)
Now Sanya can eat the "seafood processing square" with cheap and beautiful seafood! I recommend you to go there and enjoy a delicious seafood meal. It is almost a replica of the Spring Garden at the beginning of its establishment, especially cheap and good. Attention, most taxi drivers will pretend to be confused and take you to the seafood stalls on Friendship Road for consumption and kickbacks. The seafood processing square for laid-off workers in Friendship Community is a greenhouse with more than 60 stalls. Choose one of the many stalls to process it for you. We chose the recommended number 3** which has a good reputation on the Internet. As other netizens said, the proprietress and her husband are very honest. Boss Sun * took us into the seafood market to buy seafood and vegetables. The seafood there is not clearly marked, but Boss * * can still help us bargain, although only one catty. Every time, I ask Boss * * to take us to buy seafood, because the seafood he chooses is very good, the fish is very tender, there are many crab roes, and the wild vegetables are also very tender. The main way of eating is hot pot, and seafood can also be simply steamed and fried. Boss Sun * * only charges the corresponding processing fee (frying/steaming processing fee is 5 yuan per catty, hot pot 10 yuan pot bottom, processing fee is 2 yuan per catty). The key to eating seafood is "fresh". The seafood here is all fresh, which is of course refreshing to eat.
It's recommended that 8 yuan is steamed with garlic vermicelli. Although it's not very big, the meat is very thick. The boss's wife is good at cooking and it's delicious. There are also some stir-fried shells, which are called snails in Hainan, 6-15 yuan. The fish noodles are the best, and the grouper Tsing Yi is good (steamed). The meat is very fresh, and the abalone is also great and very cheap. There are also three-eyed crabs and green lamb crabs, which are not big, and the meat is very tender. You will know that they are fresh when you eat them. Maybe the boss will choose. Everything we eat has cake. Online said that he was a fisherman, no wonder the seafood he chose was so good! ! The local vegetables, four-cornered beans and five-guide wild vegetables are also good.
Remember, guests who live in Dadonghai can take bus No.2 1 yuan directly to the square, get off at Youyi Road, walk to the crossroads, and walk for 3 or 4 minutes to the seafood processing square for laid-off workers in Youyi Community. When eating in Yalong Bay, you can go to the Palme d 'Or Hotel, where there are various kinds of noodles for more than 10 yuan, as well as a big meal for hundreds of yuan. At 6 o'clock in the evening, you can eat seafood barbecue buffet. Barbecue is also a major feature of Hainan. Many hotels have seafood buffet barbecues. Yintai's is good, and there are many things. It is also romantic to eat by the pool at night.
In addition, you can also eat local chicken rice in Hainan, which is delicious and can be found in the small streets where some local residents live. Besides, drink less bottled pure water and drink more coconuts. 3 yuan is the only one, and so is red coconuts, which are cheaper than water and more than water. Flower crabs are used to make porridge; Su Mei is best steamed; Shrimp can be salted and boiled, and each has its own flavor; Tigerfish rolls tofu soup and adds a few peppers, which tastes delicious and can get rid of internal heat; Abalone can be steamed; If you eat lobster, you'd better steam it with garlic, and don't use cheese and butter, which will rob the umami taste of lobster and make it easy to get full, resulting in no appetite for the next meal; In fact, all kinds of snails with shells are almost the same. Never choose a big one. The bigger the meat, the harder it is to chew. Pick out the meat and throw it from Dadonghai to Yalong Bay. It's all intact. Can you chew it?
6. Shopping Gifts When you come to Sanya, you always bring something back, mostly in three categories: Hainan specialties (snacks), seafood and fruits, and shells. These can be bought in downtown Sanya. Try not to buy them in scenic spots.
It's best to buy special products in the big supermarkets in the city. The biggest local supermarkets are Wanghao Supermarket and Wanfulong, both near Sanya Bus Terminal. You can get there by bus No.202, and you can buy some snacks and special products. I feel that coconut cakes are still delicious. The specialty products are coconut candy, soft candy and coconut pancakes. Wanghao Supermarket can also pack them in cartons for free, which is very convenient.
If you want to buy seafood and fruit, you must go to the "First Farmers' Market", and you must be reminded to be careful of fake money, weighing and thieves! Take bus no.202 and get off at the first market station. There are many varieties, such as mangosteen, mango, pitaya and carambola, which are relatively cheap, but the quality and weight are not guaranteed (it is recommended to bring an unopened bottle of mineral water to check whether their weighing is enough at any time), and it is recommended to buy the whole box of fruits for convenience of consignment.
VII. Other details
1, relax your schedule, just take a vacation. Have a good breakfast, first go for a walk at the seaside, then go sightseeing, then go back to the hotel to rest at 2 or 3 pm, then go swimming in the sun at the beach, then rest, and then it's time to go downtown to eat seafood. Come back at night, or go for a walk at the seaside. It's very pleasant.
2, the seaside humidity is very high, don't think that the temperature is high, the sun is good, and the clothes will dry soon. You should prepare more replacement clothes, including T-shirts and shorts.
3. Try to enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze, listen to music, drink cola or surf the Internet on the beach. In the evening, you can listen to music and count the stars on the balcony of your room. Don't forget to apply thick sunscreen.
4. The hotel is the best place for a holiday. High-star hotels are the best places to spend their holidays. They all have their own beaches, a large number of service personnel and complete facilities. The garden is like a park, enough to stay for most of the day.
5, a reminder, when buying products, be sure to ask for details, such as who pays the hotel's adjustment fund, which is generally not included in the room fee. However, it is only a dozen yuan. Find out whether the hotel provides airport shuttle service. In addition, it is best to ask the hotel to include breakfast. (Especially in Yalong Bay, there are few places to eat)
6. Regarding the adjustment fund: 4 yuan/day (three-star standard), 9 yuan/day (four-star standard) and 1 1 yuan/day (five-star standard) shall be paid in addition to the hotel room rate. Sanya, Hainan is a beautiful city. Please don't join a group when you come here. It's cheaper to book a self-help tour with a local business, and give you a perfect holiday. If you feel good, just try it.
The refreshing sea breeze, the warm sun, the beautiful sea water and the delicate and soft beach, I don't know where you will think of them … but these things can be found in Sanya. This paradise of freedom is waiting for countless fighters who yearn for freedom to come here. When I finished this journey, I summed up the experience of my predecessors, especially for the later donkey friends.
