Sanya Travel Guide: After Reading This, Are Your Wallet and Stomach Ready?

Hey, everyone! Heard you want to have a blast in Sanya, but are afraid of getting ripped off? This blogger has compiled a "Sanya Ultimate Guide" for you based on personal experience (and countless sunburn lessons), guaranteeing that you'll transform from a "newbie" to a "seasoned island driver" in seconds! 👇   🎒 Pre-trip preparation: Apply sunscreen until it reflects light! Sun protection gear: Sanya's UV rays can turn you into "charcoal" in seconds! Choose sunscreen with SPF50+, and equip yourself with a hat, sunglasses, and arm sleeves. It is recommended to directly cosplay as a "masked hero." Dress code: Sling dresses and beach pants are standard, but remember to bring a light jacket! The wind on the top of Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park is so strong that you will doubt your life. Transportation options: Taking a taxi from the airport to the city center costs about CNY 30. Don't be fooled by drivers who take detours! It is recommended to rent an electric bike in the city. It costs CNY 50 a day, and it's super fun to ride around Coconut Dream Corridor.   🌴 Must-visit attractions: It's like you haven't been here if you don't check in at these places! Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park Highlights: The glass bridge offers a panoramic view of the sea, the suspension bridge is a romantic spot from the movie "If You Are the One," and the coconut iced Americano at the hilltop cafe is amazing. Avoid: Don't wear slippers! You'll slip and fall while climbing the mountain. Buy package tickets online in advance to save half the money. Wuzhizhou Island & West Island Wuzhizhou: For big spenders! Diving, jet skis, parasailing... Wallet slimming warning⚠️ (Tickets are CNY 144, and buying individual items is painfully expensive). West Island: A must-go for artsy youths! Fishing village coral houses, seaside bookstore, rent an electric bike for CNY 20 to ride around the island, and every photo you take is Instagram-worthy. Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone Highlights: The 108m Guanyin of the South Sea is so shocking that you'll kneel. Remember to walk clockwise around the Buddha's feet three times to pray for good luck! The "Nanshan Vegetarian Cuisine" in the vegetarian restaurant is light and healthy. Avoid: Don't buy incense outside the scenic area! It is provided free of charge inside the scenic area. Van Gogh Light and Shadow Art Exhibition (Limited-time surprise!) Highlights: The thousand-square-meter space uses AI holography to recreate "The Starry Night." The tropical style mixes with post-impressionism, which is a delight for artsy youths! The exhibition runs until October, so hurry!   🍤 Food recommendations: You'll want to pack Sanya's stomach after eating! Seafood feast First Market: Pick your own live lobsters, find a processing shop to steam them and stir-fry them with salt and pepper, and you can eat until you're full for CNY 100 per person! Remember to keep an eye on the weighing to prevent "substitution." Locomotive Wanzhong Seafood Plaza: The environment is better than the First Market. It is recommended to try the steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, which are so fresh that your tongue will tie. The ceiling of Hainanese cuisine Diandian Coconut Chicken: Three coconuts in a pot of soup, the chicken is so tender that it bursts with juice! The dipping sauce with small kumquats is a perfect match. Tengqiao Pork Ribs: The pork ribs at Zhujia Hotel are fried until crispy, and the sweet and savory taste is irresistible. You'll want to lick your fingers after eating. Snack assassins (wallet-friendly) Qingbuliang: Coconut milk + a dozen ingredients. It is recommended to try "Zheng Apo Qingbuliang," which is heavenly with a scoop of ice cream! Gangmen Noodles: The soul of Sanya people's breakfast, the soup is so fresh that you'll lose your eyebrows. Just find a shop in Yazhou Old Street and they'll all be delicious.   🚫 Avoid-the-pit guide: Even the locals nod in agreement! Taxi tricks: The "cheap seafood restaurant" recommended by the driver is likely a tout! Stick to using online car-hailing services. Water sports pit: Diving and taking photos costs CNY 500? Ask about the cost in advance and bargain until your ankles hurt. Tianya Haijiao: Just two stones! Couples can go to take pictures, but don't have too high expectations (the CNY 81 ticket is better spent on bubble tea).   💡 Blogger's private tips: Best sunset spot: Ban Shan Ban Dao Marina, sunset + yacht background, a like-collecting machine for your WeChat moments. Duty-free shopping: Haitang Bay Duty Free Shopping Center, Apple products are 15% cheaper than the official website. Remember to place your order 6 hours before leaving the island.
