Itinerary Day 1: First visit to Sanya, encounter with Coconut Dream Gallery Morning: After arriving in Sanya, check in at the hotel and take a short rest to relieve the fatigue of the journey. Evening: Go to Coconut Dream Corridor, which is a great place to watch the sunset in Sanya. Stroll on the soft sand, listen to the rhythmic lapping of the waves, feel the gentle caress of the sea breeze, pick up beautiful shells on the beach, and enjoy the dreamy sunset. Evening: Head to the First Market, where a variety of fresh seafood is gathered. After selecting the seafood you like, find a processing shop, enjoy a sumptuous seafood feast, and fully enjoy the deliciousness of the seafood. Day 2: Explore Wuzhizhou Island and visit Houhai Village Morning: Go to Wuzhizhou Island as early as possible to avoid the peak crowds. Wuzhizhou Island is known as the "Maldives of China" with crystal clear water and a colorful underwater world. Here, you can enjoy various water activities, such as diving, dancing with fishes in the seabed; parasailing, overlooking the beautiful island scenery from high altitude. Afternoon: Go to Houhai Village, a small seaside village full of literary and artistic atmosphere. Find a seaside coffee shop, order a cup of coffee, feel the sea breeze, and enjoy a relaxing time. If you are interested in surfing, you can also try surfing here and feel the passion and vitality of the waves. Day 3: Strolling through a tropical paradise and driving along Sun Bay Highway Morning: Go to Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park, a natural oxygen bar with lush vegetation. You can choose to go on a hiking adventure, travel through the tropical rainforest, and admire all kinds of rare plants and beautiful natural scenery; you can also take a cable car to overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire Yalong Bay. Afternoon: Arrive at Sun Bay Highway. You can choose to drive or ride a bicycle to experience the most beautiful ring road around the island in Sanya. The sea views along the way are breathtaking, with rolling mountains on one side and the azure sea on the other, making you feel as if you are in a beautiful painting. Day 4: Shopping in Duty Free City, Return with Full Purchases All day: Go to Sanya International Duty Free City, which has a wide range of brands and favorable prices, and is a paradise for shopping lovers. You can compare and purchase your desired products online and offline, and remember to prepare your ID card and flight information for leaving the island in advance. Here, you can enjoy the fun of shopping, choose gifts for your relatives and friends, and leave beautiful memories for your trip. 3. Food Recommendations Coconut Chicken: We use local Wenchang chicken and pure coconut milk soup base, the chicken skin is elastic and the meat is tender, and the soup is fresh and delicious. I recommend Mengdada Coconut Chicken. The environment in the store is fresh and the service is thoughtful, allowing you to taste the authentic coconut chicken. Dregs Vinegar Hotpot: The soup base is sour, spicy and rich, and it is very delicious when cooked with seafood. Island Soup Dregs Vinegar Hainan Sour Soup Hotpot is a good choice. The unique dregs vinegar soup base is paired with fresh seafood, which has a rich taste and is very memorable. Seafood: The Alang Seafood restaurant chain is worth a try. The restaurant has its own seafood pool, the seafood is fresh, freshly caught and cooked, and has a variety of flavors. Whether it is steamed, stir-fried with spicy sauce or with garlic, it can satisfy your taste buds. Other snacks: Sanya brown sugar rice cake is soft, glutinous and sweet, coconut rice exudes a rich coconut aroma, Gangmen rice noodles have a smooth texture, and Tengqiao spare ribs are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. These special snacks are also worth tasting one by one. 4. Accommodation options Sanya Bay: Close to the airport, convenient living, and relatively affordable hotel prices. Suitable for tourists with a low budget or who need to catch a flight. We recommend Sanya Marriott Hotel, Sanya Golden Phoenix Sea View Hotel, etc. These hotels have complete facilities and thoughtful services, which can make you feel the warmth of home during your travels. Yalong Bay: It has many high-end hotels, and the beaches and sea water are of high quality. Suitable for tourists who seek high-quality holiday experience. For example, the St. Regis Sanya Resort, Park Hyatt Sanya, etc., the hotels have beautiful environment and luxurious facilities, and can provide you with top-level holiday enjoyment. Haitang Bay: Close to duty-free shops, suitable for shopping and enjoying high-end services. There are many luxury hotels to choose from, such as Shangri-La Resort Sanya, Rosewood Sanya, etc. Here, you can shop and relax at the same time. Dadonghai: Close to the city center, convenient transportation, many nearby attractions, a wide variety of hotels and B&Bs, and high cost-performance. For example, the InterContinental Hotel in Dadonghai has a superior geographical location, allowing you to easily visit surrounding attractions. 5. Notes The sunlight in Sanya is strong and the ultraviolet radiation is high, so you must take sun protection measures, such as applying sunscreen, wearing a sun hat and sunglasses, etc. When participating in water activities, you should choose a formal organization, follow the coach's instructions, and ensure your own safety. When buying seafood at the seafood market, pay attention to the weight and price to avoid being ripped off. At the same time, choose fresh seafood to ensure food safety. Sanya's climate is changeable, so bring rain gear with you in case of sudden rain. I hope this guide can help you spend a happy and unforgettable vacation in Sanya, Hainan!
