The portion is large, the ingredients are sufficient, and the taste is fragrant. However, the price is a little expensive, and more discounts would be better. .

Girls, who doesn't understand?! I originally booked flights to Sanya, but after seeing photos of Wanning, I immediately changed my plans! There are no crowds like in Sanya, the sea is a vibrant blue like a spilled palette, and even the wind carries a sense of freedom ✨ I personally experienced it and didn't want to leave after 5 days. Save this comprehensive travel guide! 🚗 Transportation: Easy and direct, no hassle ✈️ Major Transportation: Fly to Haikou Meilan Airport or Sanya Phoenix Airport. After landing, take the high-speed rail to Wanning Station (1 hour from Haikou, 40 minutes from Sanya), the fare is only 30-50 RMB, super affordable! 🚌Local Transportation: Wanning's attractions are quite spread out, so we recommend renting an electric scooter (30-50 RMB per day, remember to bargain!) or a car (around 200 RMB per day for an economy sedan). Driving along the coastal road with the sea breeze in your car will bring you immense happiness! 🌬️ 🏨Accommodation Recommendations: Choose the right place for your needs - For those who want to relax and enjoy the sea view, choose Shimei Bay: High-end hotels like the Westin and Le Méridien are located here. Open your balcony door and you'll find yourself on a private beach. Wake up to the sound of the waves in the morning, and stroll along the beach to watch the sunset in the evening – the perfect vacation experience! For those with a sufficient budget, go for it! - Value-for-money option: Riyue Bay. Plenty of unique guesthouses, priced from 150-300 RMB per night. Within walking distance of the beach and surf shops. You can also explore the night market in the evening. Young people love the atmosphere here! - Quiet and less crowded option: Shenzhou Peninsula. Less crowded and with pristine scenery, perfect for those who prefer peace and quiet. The Four Points by Sheraton hotel offers good value, and the nearby lighthouse is a fantastic photo opportunity! 🏄♀️ Must-do activity: Enjoy the entire blue sea! - Surfing at Riyue Bay: A must-try for beginners! This is the best surfing spot in China. Just find any surf shop and sign up for a trial lesson (1-on-1 is about 200-300 RMB/2 hours). The instructors are super patient; you can stand up in half an hour! Wearing a brightly colored bikini will make you look amazing in photos, but remember to bring sunglasses for UV protection! - Shimei Bay Snorkeling: The water is so clear you can see small fish swimming by 🐠. You can bring your own snorkeling gear or rent it (50 yuan/set). It's recommended to go in the morning when it's less crowded, the light is better, and you can see the sunlight filtering through the water. - Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse: A confirmed Instagrammable spot! The white lighthouse against the blue sea makes every photo look like something out of a Japanese movie. Go around 4 pm when the sunlight is soft and not harsh, guaranteeing great photos. - Coastal Highway Cycling: You absolutely must ride the coastal highway from Riyue Bay to Shimei Bay! Along the way, you'll pass coconut groves and beaches. Stop when you're tired to buy a coconut (10 yuan each, sweet and juicy), and enjoy the sea breeze – super relaxing! - Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden: Perfect for families with kids or those who love greenery. It boasts a variety of tropical fruits and rare plants, and you can even sample Xinglong coffee and cocoa for free. The air is filled with the subtle fragrance of herbs and plants. 🌴 🍜Food Recommendation: Eat your fill for around 50 yuan per person! - Nanyang Flavors: A must-try Southeast Asian cuisine! Curry beef brisket, pineapple fried rice, and Qingbuliang (a sweet dessert soup) are all super authentic, averaging around 60 yuan per person. Remember to go early, otherwise you'll have to queue. - Qiong Ba Fried Ice: A super popular local fried ice shop. The mango fried ice is so smooth it's like ice cream, and with the addition of crispy boba, the texture is amazing. A big bowl costs 15 yuan, super refreshing in the summer! 🍧 - Seafood Stalls: Buy fresh seafood at Gangbei Port and have it cooked at a shop (processing fee 10-20 yuan/jin). Mantis shrimp and Hele crab are must-orders; the meat is firm and sweet, and much cheaper than in Sanya. - Hou'an Rice Noodles: A local breakfast favorite. The bone broth is incredibly rich, topped with lean meat, large intestine, and scallions. A bowl costs 15 yuan and warms you up. I recommend the old "Hou'an Rice Noodle Soup Shop". 💡Helpful Tips: Avoid these pitfalls! - Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Wanning has extremely strong UV rays, so be sure to use both physical sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sun-protective clothing) and chemical sun protection (SPF50+ PA+++), or you'll get a deep tan! - Best time to travel: November-April, temperatures 20-28℃, perfect for beach activities. - Be aware of rough seas; always follow the instructor's instructions before going into the water and don't go to secluded beaches alone. - For local specialties, head to Xinglong Town. Their coffee, pepper, and coconut candy are authentic and cheaper than in tourist areas. I have to rave about Wanning! Its beauty is unpretentious and pristine. Watch the sunrise in the morning, play in the sea at noon, and enjoy seafood in the evening—life moves at a leisurely pace, making you never want to leave! Pack your bags and go! Ask me any questions in the comments; I'll reply as soon as I see them. This Wanning travel guide covers all aspects of your travel needs. If you feel any sections need additions or subtractions, or if you'd like to change the recommended cities, feel free to let me know. #RoadScenery #BeautifulSunset #StunningNightViews

🌴 4-Day, 3-Night Sanya Pitfall-Avoiding Guide | Bringing the Wrong Clothes Is a Waste of Your Trip! A Local's Secret Guide Hey babes! Just got back from Sanya with a tan! 😭 The weather was ridiculously hot, but choosing the right accommodations, food, and clothes can double your fun! Follow this guide and avoid 90% of the pitfalls! 🏨 1. Accommodation: Choosing the Right Area = Saving 2 Hours of Commute 🌊 Accommodation Options • Close to Scenic Areas: Sanya Bay (Coconut Dream Corridor, West Island), Yalong Bay (Yalong Bay Beach, Tropical Paradise Forest Park), both within walking distance of the beach, making it super convenient for ocean gazing. • Rich in Cultural Attractions: Tianya District (Tianya Haijiao, Nanshan Cultural Tourism Area), where you can experience the fisherman's lifestyle in the surrounding fishing villages and markets! • Close to Food and Shopping: Dadonghai (First Market, Dadonghai Night Market), Haitang Bay (Duty Free Shops), where you can enjoy seafood and a refreshing cold soup right downstairs. Foodies, go! 💡 Accommodation Recommendations ✅ Prioritize new hotels opening after 2022, like the Holiday Inn Resort Sanya Bay, with its new facilities and stunning ocean views! ✅ For a budget-friendly stay, choose a star-rated chain (Yalong Bay Marriott, Haitang Bay Westin); for value, choose a budget chain (Home Inn, 7 Days Inn, Sanya Bay/Dadonghai subway station). ✅ Before booking, scan negative reviews and photos. If the beach is dirty or the soundproofing is poor, simply pass! ✅ Avoid Yazhou District! It's far from the city center, and the commute is time-consuming. 🚗 2. Transportation: Check these options for getting around Sanya. ✈️ Arrival • Air: Sanya Phoenix International Airport, airport shuttle (15 yuan/person), ride-hailing service (about 30 yuan to Sanya Bay). Taxis can take detours, so choose with caution! • High-speed Rail/Train: Take the bus or online taxi from Sanya Station to the city center; Yalong Bay Station is close to the beach, a 15-minute taxi ride away. • Driving: Suitable for island tours.

Use Didi/Amap, and don't hail taxis on the street. • Taxi: Metered fares are used, but avoid any "seafood restaurants" recommended by the driver. Say "no shopping" when you get in the car! 🌊 3. Attractions: Avoid the trending sites and only visit truly worthwhile ones. 🏛️ Historical Attractions • Tianya Haijiao: A Sanya landmark, take photos of the "Tianya" and "Haijiao" stone carvings.
