CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What equipment do you need for traveling to Sanya?

Daily necessities

1. Clothing: Summer clothes. Bring several sets of replacement clothes and underwear. Clothes should be sweat-absorbent, breathable, and quick-drying.

2. Slippers,

3. Wet and dry wipes: It is inconvenient to wash hands outside, and you have to eat fruits and seafood with your hands. It is much more convenient to bring wet wipes.

4. Toothbrush, toothpaste, towel

5. Plastic bags (for collecting shells), waterproof bags (can hold mobile phones, cameras, etc. as they can easily get wet and sandy when playing at the beach)

6. Chest stickers are very effective and convenient and cool.

7. Carry-on bag: Don’t make it too small, as you need to put a lot of things in it.

8. I went to buy a fruit knife.

Prepare a large travel bag (preferably made of foldable cloth so it is easier to carry when not in use) in case you need it when you come back.

Remember to charge your phone before leaving.

Regarding playing, I read a lot of guides online, but I was really at a loss. In the end, I chose a local club, and it turned out that my choice was not wrong!

The accommodation was booked in advance with the club. We stayed near Dadonghai Square (but I don't remember what it was called!). We could go swimming every afternoon without having to spend extra money on water and changing clothes! The high-end apartment-style double-bed room was only 150/day. It only takes 3 or 4 minutes (about 150 meters) to walk to Dadonghai for swimming! We could go swimming every afternoon, and after swimming, we could walk back to the hotel to take a shower, without having to spend 20 or 30 yuan on water and changing clothes. It is 1.5 kilometers away from the city center. There is a bus stop near the downstairs. We can take the universal No. 2 bus for 1 yuan to go shopping, eating in the city center! Great value!

On the first day, we arrived during the day and took bus 8 from the airport to our accommodation. After dropping off our luggage, we headed straight to the sea. In the evening, Bobcat from the club took us to the First Market to buy seafood. After buying the seafood, Bobcat had something urgent to do, so we sent it to Youyi Road for processing. After finishing the seafood, we went to the pedestrian bridge to see the night view. The bridge really looks like a rainbow. No wonder its other name is Rainbow Bridge!

On the second day, we participated in the "Paradise-Longzai Bay Route". I heard that Longzai Bay has been a military restricted area since the liberation of Hainan Island for decades. The unique conditions allow it to avoid the tide of commercial development in Sanya, thus becoming the sea area with the highest visibility in the entire Hainan sea. It is now one of the few remaining soft coral protection bases in the world, the only one in China, and the largest in the world. Longzai Bay was also the venue for the first World Underwater Wedding Festival in 2001, which was included in the Guinness World Records at the time! ) The downside is that sometimes the waves are big, and the club needs to make arrangements according to the waves and other weather conditions, but after going there, you will find that it is more worthwhile than all other attractions! Some people are willing to wait for 4 or 5 days because of the weather! We are lucky! Only waited for one day)

It was my first time to see corals, and I was pleasantly surprised. There was no time limit, which was a bit unexpected. It was really cool. I watched tropical fish swimming around me in the corals and took beautiful underwater photos! Plus a day of outdoor special beer barbecue, sea fishing, etc., which was enough to make my colleague Zhengyan (Xue) and friends envious! I used to fish in the river, but today I finally fished in the sea. However, I was the most unlucky among the group. Many groupers, green mullets, and humphead wrasses were on the boat with them, but I didn’t catch any. I held my breath and went to sleep!

On the third day, we planned to take a one-day trip to Nanshan and Tianya. I thought about chartering a car, but when my wife calculated, the price for individual travelers in Nanshan was 150 per person, the vegetarian meal seemed to be 48, and the ticket to Tianya Haijiao was 65 plus the round-trip fare, which totaled 350 yuan. It felt a bit expensive, so we eventually chose the club's tour group, which cost 228 per person. Haha, the two of us saved enough money for a seafood meal!

On the fourth day, we went on a one-day tour of Wuzhizhou Island. It was boring because there were too many people. The beach and the sea were not as good as we imagined. It was not as good as Longzai Bay. It was just famous, but not worthy of its reputation. The Crown of Beauty evening party arranged by the club was super good. On the way to the theater, we met a friend who played with us during the day. They were also going to watch it. We asked them where they sat. They said they sat in the 6th row. We were happy at that time. Haha, we were in the 2nd row. The service was different. The price could be the same. Why are people treated so carelessly? Haha, it once again proved that our choice was wise! Thanks to the Sanya Savage Club for the super shocking evening party. I highly recommend it!

On the fifth day, it was said on the Internet that there is a Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan, a Zhangjiajie in Hunan, and a Yalongda in Hainan. We went to Yalongda on the fifth day. The Hainanese version of Yalongda is 1, 2, 3, and it seems to mean Hainan welcomes you. When we arrived at the scenic spot, someone said Yalongda to us. We didn’t know what it meant at the time, which scared us. We heard it as "or", asking us to buy something? Later we learned that it meant welcome you, haha! The overall feeling of the scenic spot is very good, including the Rainforest Valley, Dream Valley, Lotus Valley, Li Nationality Customs Park, etc. I especially like the parrot in it. It’s a bit of a pity that I didn’t play the project called stepping on the waterfall and playing in the water. Those who have played it said it was fun. Maybe this is the beauty of imperfection. I will leave some regrets and come back next time!

On the morning of the sixth day, we went to Yalong Bay. I felt that it would be better to come to Yalong Bay on the day we went to Wuzhizhou. It is free, and the beach and sea water are not much worse than those in Yalong Bay. Yalong Bay is also highly recommended, but don’t recommend it to budget travelers like us!

We went to Nantian Hot Spring in the afternoon. The environment was nice, but it was a bit far away. If you don’t have much time, you can choose Xiaoyu Hot Spring. The price seems to be cheaper than Nantian Hot Spring, and there are some simple fruits and snacks!

We slept in on the last day of the seventh day. We were woken up by the sea breeze and sunshine. My wife wanted to bring something back for her mother-in-law, so we selected local specialties in the morning, had Western food at Coffee Time, and started to board the return flight in the afternoon, ending our pleasant trip to Sanya!

It has been more than a few months since I came back. The memories are still beautiful. Thank you Sanya Savage Club and Shanmao. The itinerary you tailored for me is great. Welcome to Beijing. Thank you Xiao Liu from the front desk of the hotel. I'm sorry that you have to bring us hot water so late. I wish your business gets better and better. I'll come to you next time during the annual holiday!

Hainan is slowly entering the off-season in January. Just bring cash, credit cards, swimsuits, sunscreen, cameras, summer clothes, sunglasses, etc. I will send you a copy of the latest travel guide to Sanya later. . . The itinerary for five or six days: one day to Wuzhizhou Island, one day to Nanshan, one day to Xiaodongtian, one day to Nantian Hot Springs in the Pearl River, and two days can be arranged for leisure on the beach. You can choose the more affordable apartments in front of Xianyan for accommodation. There are many apartments in Sanya now, which are cheap and affordable. The room facilities are no less than some hotels, and some are still by the sea. It is also equipped with a kitchen. You can also buy seafood and cook it yourself. It is a very good choice. You can also choose some hotels to offer discount packages for self-tourists. It is relatively cost-effective. The 100T website mainly deals with apartments and some preferential packages in Shoula, with pick-up and drop-off services. It is cost-effective. You can compare the prices before deciding.

Haha, I hope this can help you!

Day 5 Free time - Return from Sanya

I have just been to Sanya. Hehe, this is just my personal opinion. I hope it will be helpful to you.

1.

You don't need to bring a coat in Sanya in May, just a short shirt will do.

2.

Bring a pair of shoes that can be worn as both sandals and slippers, insect repellent, sunscreen (essential),

band-aid,

Sunglasses, umbrella, some medicine (to prevent diarrhea or something)

3.

For seafood, you can eat at Chunyuan, and for seafood and tropical fruits, you can go to the First Market.

4.

Bikinis, one-piece swimsuits, whatever you want to wear,

Wear nice clothes and take good photos. The blue sky, clear water and coconut breeze are very beautiful.

5.

There is a kind of motorcycle there, the kind that has a modified seat on the side. It is unsafe to sit on it.

There will be some cars at the entrance of the hotel. You can negotiate the price. Be sure to discuss it in advance.

How much money does it cost to go there and how much time is spent, etc. The people there are quite evil.

Finally, I wish you a pleasant journey and have fun!

The sun and the beach in Sanya are beautiful, but if you want to be beautiful, you have to use skin care products. Sunscreen with SPF30 or above is a must, and you can bring soothing and repairing lotion, moisturizing spray, whitening mask, etc. Shampoo and conditioner are also necessary. Sea water is very harmful to hair, and the ones provided by the hotel are of poor quality. You must go to the sea before the sun comes in Sanya, and you must prepare swimsuits, swimming goggles, and earplugs. You must also bring replacement clothes (the temperature difference between day and night is large, so long sleeves are a must), sun umbrellas, sun hats, sunglasses, and beach slippers. Don't forget your mobile phone, camera, and charger. You must bring a walkman, paper and pen, and prepare some snacks and food that you like. And the most important point is to remember to bring enough cash. Except for accommodation and larger shopping malls, credit cards are difficult to use in Sanya, and ATMs are also difficult to find.
