Sanya Xidao Travel Guide

⛰【Attraction Guide】 In 2024, I went to Hainan Island for the Spring Festival. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, I went to Sanya. It was really crowded, with gongs and drums, and flags fluttering. I had been to Wuzhizhou Island several times, and I heard that Xidao was good. I set off from Haikou early in the morning and arrived at the Xidao Tourism Center at around seven o'clock. Unexpectedly, just to have a bowl of noodles 🍜, I could have boarded the boat earlier, but I was delayed by half an hour, and it felt like tens of thousands of people rushed in. I queued for two to three hours to board the boat 🚢. After playing for half a day, I returned at 2/3 in the afternoon. It was really crowded again, with gongs and drums, and flags fluttering. I queued for another one to two hours. 📍Detailed Address: Xiaoqigang Wharf, Sanya Bay Road, Tianya District, Sanya City, Hainan Province 🚗Transportation Guide: Drive there yourself and park at the visitor center. Parking fee is 8 yuan. 🕙Opening Hours: 08:00-19:00 💰Ticket Price: ¥95 🌟Highlights: Xidao Coral Old House Area, Xidao Cultural and Creative Museum, Xidao History Museum, Xidao Gift Museum, Xidao Women's Militia Memorial Hall, Xidao Sea Study Room, Niubizai Ridge (Niuwang Island), Scenic Avenue, Sanya Xidao Marine Cultural Tourism Area, etc. 📌Tips: 1️⃣ Go early during holidays to avoid queues. 2️⃣ The beach 🏖 on Xidao is not very fine, and there are many coral stones. Wearing shoes will prevent your feet from hurting. 3️⃣ Xidao is divided into two parts. As soon as you get off the boat, there are various entertainment projects. If you walk further back, there is a fishing village where most of the attractions are located. 4️⃣ There are no shared bicycles or electric bikes. You can either rent a private one or take a tricycle. However, walking around is also nice to experience the life of the villagers. 5️⃣ Make sure to do a good job of sun protection. During the New Year, while people in the mainland are wearing cotton-padded jackets and heating, here it's short sleeves and bright sunshine.
