China Hawaii, when bikinis meet black robes

❤The waves are like golden fragments, and the blue of Dadonghai Sea is like a piece of melted glass candy. Bikini girls lay on surfboards and screamed, women in black robes walked on the fine sand to pick up shells, and among the swaying coconut shadows, the subtle scent of sunscreen and agarwood intertwined in the salty breeze. ❤The surfing boy shouted "Be careful" in Arabic, and the girl in the headscarf pressed the shutter for the girl in the bikini. When dusk falls over the phoenix trees, all skin tones are immersed in the honey color - the magic of Sanya is probably to allow all heterogeneous beauty to be gently recognized in the waves. 👉The following is a carefully prepared travel guide to Sanya Dadonghai to help you easily enjoy the blue sea and blue sky! 1. Transportation Guide How to get there: Airplane: Sanya Phoenix International Airport is about 15 kilometers away from Dadonghai. It takes about 30 minutes by taxi (cost 50-70 yuan). The airport bus can go directly to Dadonghai Square (fare 25 yuan). High-speed rail: It takes about 20 minutes by taxi from Sanya Station to Dadonghai (about 25 yuan), or you can take bus No. 4 directly. Urban transportation: Dadonghai area is suitable for walking or renting a motorcycle (about 50 yuan/day). To go to distant scenic spots, it is recommended to rent a car (economy type starts at 150 yuan/day) or use Didi. 2. Accommodation Recommendations High-end sea view: Mandarin Oriental Sanya (private bay), InterContinental Sanya (infinity pool). Value-for-money options: Harman Resort Hotel (infinity pool + walk to the beach), Jinmao Seaview Garden Apartment (family suite).

Water activities: water motorcycle (150 yuan/10 minutes), banana boat (80 yuan/person), diving (shore diving starts at 300 yuan, Wuzhizhou Island is recommended). Night Tour: Night view of the beach bar street, watch the sea and listen to the waves at MOJO Coffee Bar. Nearby attractions Luhuitou Scenic Area (ticket price: 35 yuan): Climb to the top to overlook the panoramic view of Sanya. It is recommended to watch the sunset and night view in the evening. Xiaodonghai (free): There are few people and it is quiet, suitable for taking photos and catching seafood.

Wuzhizhou Island (ticket price: 144 yuan): A must-do for a one-day tour, with abundant water activities. It is recommended to go there at 8 am to avoid the crowds. 4. Food Map seafood: First Market: Purchase seafood and process it yourself (recommend "Sister Lin's Fragrant Seafood"), 150 yuan per person. Pay attention to price comparison and keep a close eye on the weighing! Recommended for those who don’t overcharge: A seafood stall near the “Fishing Village Fried Chicken” in Dadonghai, frequented by locals. Hainan Features: Sweet and delicious coconut chicken (freshly chopped coconut milk base, 100 yuan per person). Qiongxiang Pavilion Hainan cuisine (mango rice noodle rolls, Dongshan lamb, 80 yuan per person). Street food: Qingbuliang (10 yuan), Baoluo rice noodles (15 yuan), roast suckling pig (50 yuan/portion). Night Market: Dadonghai Night Market (more commercialized), Qunzhong Street Night Market (local snacks concentrated) is more recommended. 5. Itinerary suggestions (3 days and 2 nights) Day 1: Arrival → Playing in the water at Dadonghai Beach → Sunset at Luhuitou → Dinner at Dadonghai Night Market. Day 2: One-day tour of Wuzhizhou Island (diving/circumnavigating the island by electric car) → Experience the seaside bar after returning. Day 3: Take photos at Xiaodonghai → Yalong Bay Forest Park → return. 6. Practical Tips Sun protection: SPF50+ waterproof sunscreen + wide-brimmed hat + sunglasses, reapply every 2 hours! Safety: Swimming in Dadonghai must be done in designated areas (with lifeguards), and beware of rip currents! 👉Avoid pitfalls: Reject the beach's unsolicited solicitations for diving/photo taking, it's more cost-effective to purchase items online in advance. Use a fair scale when buying fruit. The market price of coconuts is 6-8 yuan per piece. If it is higher, bargain. 👉Budget reference (2 people 3 days): Economy: 3,000 yuan (including air tickets) Comfort type: 5000-8000 yuan High-end vacation: 12,000+
