Sanya Travel Notes | Spend a few hundred to rent a sports car, go to Sanya for some fun, and go surfing in Wanning. This is the right way to start team building, right?

Sanya is located at the southernmost tip of Hainan Island

It was called Yazhou in ancient times, also known as Lucheng.

The coastline is 258.65 kilometers long and has 19 large and small harbors.

The main bays include Sanya Bay, Haitang Bay, Yalong Bay, Dadong Bay, etc.

There are 40 large and small islands and 10 main islands.

In fact, during the Spring Festival of 2018, I traveled through the eastern route of Hainan

It’s the Spring Festival and accommodation in Sanya is shockingly expensive.

We only stayed for half a day and then returned to Haikou.

This time I take advantage of the company's team building opportunity

Re-examine this resort city that no one knows about

day1 Beijing-Sanya

It takes about four hours to fly from Capital Airport to Sanya.

Departing in the afternoon and arriving in the evening

Sanya has a long coastline and many accommodation options.

If you want to be closer to the city, the Dadonghai area is more cost-effective.

If you want to enjoy better beaches, you can stay at Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay.

The price of Haitang Bay will be more expensive than that of Bialong Bay.

Stayed at Sheraton Yalong Bay this time

There are star hotels nearby

Although there is a private beach, it is not really busy.

There is a food court nearby

The price is not cheap and the taste is average

On the first night, we took a taxi to Liupan Village.

I jokingly call it the supply station of Yalong Bay

Next to Yalong Bay Forest Park

A food street is enough to fill your stomach

Come and have a bowl of the refreshing tonic that you have longed for.

A great summer treat made from coconut milk mixed with various fruits and ingredients.

Really good quality and cheap

I chose Xiangcao Huayu Seafood for dinner.

100 per person for a seafood dinner

Mango snail, Boston lobster, salt and pepper shrimp, tiger spot...

A visit to the seaside city is complete only if you have a seafood meal.

day2 Yanoda Forest Park-Sun Bay First Highway-Bohou Village BBQ

Traveling around Yalong Bay is not very convenient

And the attractions are far apart

So choose to rent a car

Car rental in Sanya is really cheap

It only cost 130 yuan in two days

Picked up the car at the hotel early in the morning

After breakfast, we set off to Noda

Sanya has two tropical forest parks

One is nearby Yalong Bay

One is Yanoda, 30 kilometers away.

It takes more than half an hour to drive there

There are not too many people in the park

The park is very large. In addition to enjoying the tropical rainforest, there are many recreational activities.

Translation means that in addition to the ticket price, you also have to pay for the activities.

When you enter the door, you will be asked to choose the waterway or the mountain road.

The waterway involves wading through mountains and rivers, so you need to bring a change of clothes.

The mountain road is about enjoying the scenery along the way

Yanoda translated means 123

The staff here will make V sign and say ya noda to everyone they see.

After entering, take the shuttle bus to Rainforest Valley.

You can choose from three routes: small, medium and large.

Looking at the map, I felt that the large circle was quite tiring, so I conservatively chose a middle circle.

As a result, I walked around in a big circle.

After visiting the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Xishuangbanna

Looking at other tropical rainforests, they all feel very similar.

Just like taking a walk in the urban forest

Originally, the high temperature in Sanya made people feel unhappy.

The green shade of the rainforest brings out the slightest coolness

Overall it's not worth it

Unless you prefer exciting projects

The aerial swing here is quite famous.

But if you just look at the scenery

It’s really not as good as the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences

But compared with Yalong Bay Forest Park

The reputation here is relatively good.

Drive back to the city to avoid the hottest afternoon hours

The private beach is crowded with guests

In addition to the beach there are three swimming pools

The water quality of Yalong Bay is really good

azure blue

The beach is not soft enough and it’s a bit harsh on your feet.

At sunset, we set off again to Sun Bay Highway

It is said to be the most beautiful coastal road in Sanya

Circling upwards, passing by villa areas and luxury hotel areas

Find an observation deck to enjoy the sunset

Just overlooking the entire Yalong Bay

But it was difficult to park. Finally, I was driven away by the traffic police uncle.

After watching the sunset, drive to Bohou Village Night Market

Not far from Yalong Bay, it is a gathering place for Internet celebrity B&Bs

The entire night market is mainly divided into two areas: dessert area and barbecue area.

Different stores have different tastes of Qingbuliang

Most barbecues are based on seafood, mostly from the Northeast.

The one I picked over and over tasted very average.

But the focus is on excitement and atmosphere

If the budget is not enough and you want to live in Yalong Bay

You might consider this place

day3 Wuzhizhou Island-Dadonghai-Commodity Street Night Market

Went to Wuzhizhou Island in Haitang Bay early in the morning

Wuzhizhou Island enjoys the reputation of "China's Maldives"

It is also one of the few islands in the world without rocks or pebbles.

The waters around the island are clear and transparent

Sea water visibility is 6 to 27 meters

It takes less than half an hour to drive

Parked in the parking lot No. 3. It was dilapidated and had no shade.

Walk into the entrance of the scenic spot, check in and take the boat

It takes about 20 minutes to reach Wuzhizhou Island

Wuzhizhou Island is so big that if you walk, you won’t be able to get off it in a few hours.

So I spent more than 100 to buy a battery ticket.

Battery tickets are divided into categories: 88, 138, etc.

88 can only get off at two stops along the way.

138 can be downloaded at every stop, up to six stops

The first stop is the beach

The water quality is better than that of Yalong Bay

Blue-green blue-green like jelly

Visibility is extremely high

The beach is also very soft

The second stop is the Wishing Pavilion

We have arrived at the reef area and the water has become darker blue.

Climb up high and overlook the entire island

It’s really the same color as water and sky

The third stop is Guanyi Rock

The scenery is quite similar to the one at the previous stop.

And it’s not sunset yet, so the scenery isn’t spectacular.

The fourth stop is Lover Valley

I feel that Lover’s Valley is relatively average.

Many artificial plants

I wasn’t very impressed with the next two stops.

Not as impressive as the first two stops.

It took about an hour to finish shopping

In addition to the land and sea scenery on the island

There are many water sports

Such as diving, sea fishing, flying trapeze, etc.

After returning to the city, we went to Liupan Village to look for food.

This time I ate Mustache Seafood

It feels better than the seafood on the first night

Went to Dadonghai area in the evening

I’m so tired from traveling through mountains and rivers these days.

Looking for a place to relax

I found that Dadonghai’s massage is quite famous.

It's all Thai massage

The service and techniques are okay

However, the price is naturally not as cheap as going to Thailand.

After the massage, we went to the Commodity Street Zhongjie Night Market

Because I have always lived in the seaside area

Only when you step here can you really feel like you have integrated into the life of the locals.

Battery cars and betel nuts everywhere

The street food shops are not closed at nine o'clock

A humble noodle shop. Order a bowl of Hainan Noodles or Lingshui Sour Noodles.

Have a glass of old salt lemonade or a refreshing refreshment

This is the summer for Hainanese people, right?

day4 Sanya-Wanning

Today is the end of team building

Arranged an extra day to go surfing in Wanning

In fact, you can also surf in Houhai, Sanya

But for the variety show "Summer Surf Shop"

And the name of the famous surfing resort of Riyue Bay

I still plan to come to Wanning.

The train station next to the hotel, Yalong Bay Station, is relatively close to Wanning.

It only takes half an hour to get to Shenzhou Station from here.

Then take a taxi to a village near Riyue Bay to rent a battery car.

20 a day is not too cheap

After settling in, we went to Shimei Bay

About eight kilometers one way

Different from the four-wheeler I rented in Sanya a few days ago

Battery cars are more free

Cycling among coconut groves and banana trees while enjoying the sea breeze

Eight kilometers is not too far

I followed the navigation and arrived at the mountainside observation deck of Shimei Bay.

There are many fruit stalls here

Ice coconut for 12 yuan, 3 perfumed pineapples for 10 yuan

Hainan is indeed a fruit paradise

Then navigate to Shimei Bay

In fact, it has basically been turned into a private beach by the real estate industry.

Not much different from Yalong Bay

At noon, we had lunch at a porridge shop in Riyue Bay.

Seafood porridge, pigeon porridge and some side dishes

Looking out at the waves is so pleasant.

Signed up for surfing lessons at ALOHA at 4 p.m.

420 yuan for 2 hours, one coach leading three students

It just happened to rain in the afternoon, so we won’t be exposed to the sun until four o’clock.

It’s just that the waves are a bit big and not very friendly to novices

The store provides surf wear and photography services

Learn theoretical knowledge first before going into the sea

I didn’t realize how heavy it was until I got the surfboard.

Staggering the board and myself into the sea

I found that I couldn’t stand even when the waves hit me.

Every time I got close to the coach, I was washed away by the waves.

The first time I floated on the board, I didn’t dare to stand up.

Bumped onto the beach by the waves

Listening to the coach’s preparation for the second time

Unable to grasp the balance of center of gravity

As soon as I got up, I fell into the sea

After thinking about it, I still haven’t practiced my stance well enough.

I went back to land and practiced for a few rounds.

Every time I hit the ground on my knees

Without the buffer of water, I kneeled directly on the sand.

Poor my kneecaps

The third time also failed

Plus my knees hurt too.

I started paddling directly on the shore.

Watching other students succeed one by one

I can only console myself for my shortcomings in water sports.

Anyway, it cost more than 400 yuan

It made me realize another area in which I am not good at

After class, I went back to the hotel to take a shower, change clothes, and go out to find food.

The whole street is not long, it only feels like a few hundred meters.

Apart from that, there is no other lively place

There are quite a few bars and cafes

In addition to porridge restaurants, there are several barbecue restaurants with average reviews.

Finally, I chose to have a hasty dinner at Shaxian Snacks

day5 Wanning-Haikou-Beijing

Because air tickets in Haikou are cheaper than those in Sanya

It only takes one hour from Wanning to Haikou.

If you are in a hurry, you can take the bus directly to Meilan Station

I originally wanted to take a look around Haikou.

An epidemic happened in Haikou

I just had a meal of Haidilao at Wuyue Plaza and then went to the airport.

Go to the airport to pick up the goods from the duty-free shop first

How can you not buy something when you come to Hainan?

Download the cdf Hainan Duty Free APP on your mobile phone in advance

After registering as a member, there seem to be activities every month

Lipstick is basically 20% off. Other beauty and skin care products vary depending on the brand.

You can accumulate points when you buy things. 30 yuan = 1 point = 1 yuan

After spending 5,000 yuan, you can upgrade to a silver card and get double points.

However, duty-free purchases are limited to 30 pieces of cosmetics.

Finally, I returned to Beijing carrying bags of all sizes.

During this trip to Sanya, I visited several faraway attractions.

There are still many well-known places that I haven’t checked in yet.

Coupled with the temptation of Hainan’s duty-free

It is imperative to go to Sanya again

However, it is strongly recommended not to go to Hainan in summer

I really feel like I start sweating as soon as I go out.

It’s unreasonable not to take five baths a day
