What travelers say:
It rained a few days ago. Today it was sunny. The photos were still very good. The sea was very blue and clear. The sand was not the kind of fine sand. It was a bit thick. I took the children to play in the place where they disembarked for a long time. I picked up beautiful small stones and walked in. I rented a battery car in the village. I heard from my aunt. The West Island tourism development has been 20 years, but the scenic spot and the village were separated before. It was opened for the past three years, so tourists entered the village, so there is a kind of development in the village, but the environment and atmosphere can't keep up. It has a kind of soil and what others say is the local atmosphere, but the scenery is still good.

Heaven on Earth ,Sanya Beach 🏝️#beachlife Is Sanya, the off-season from March to june, the ideal place on earth! Staying up late and organizing a travel guide for seven days and six nights in Sanya, I told my friends to leave as soon as possible. The weather and temperature in Sanya in March, April, and May were just right, and the photos were also very nice. There are tourist attractions in various areas of Sanya, and there is plenty of time. I feel like I am taking a vacation slowly 🚕Transportation: We take a taxi throughout the journey, with an average of 120 yuan per person for three people. 🏠Accommodation: Sanya is divided into Haitang District, Jiyang District, Tianya District, and Yazhou District. We have two nights in Haitang District, and three nights in Tianya District. We first go to Haikou and then to Sanya. The airfare and high-speed rail tickets are cheaper than direct flights ✈️, and there is a high-speed rail🚊 at the airport 📍Location: west Island sanya Bay ,Hainan Province 🇨🇳Hazi K
Just got back from Sanya, and I want to rant about the current situation in Sanya!1. The recent weather in Sanya has really been quite average. Although it doesn't rain and there's sun at noon, it's always cloudy in the morning and afternoon, and the foggy weather really affects the experience of seeing the glass sea! 2. Sanya is not big, there's no subway, but the buses are quite convenient. They go to every tourist spot, so remember to do your research on the attractions before you go! 3. Accommodations in Sanya are mainly distributed across four bays. If you want to stay in high-end hotels and experience a holiday vibe, go to Haitang Bay; hotels in Yalong Bay offer luxury sea view rooms; if you're on a budget, Dadonghai and Yalong Bay are close to the city center, with convenient transportation and easy access to food and entertainment! 5. If you're short on time, visiting either West Island or Wuzhizhou Island is enough. You can see the glass sea and enjoy the scenery of the small islands; go to West Island if you want to experience local customs and slow life, or choose Wuzhizhou Island for water sports! 6. Don't navigate directly to Yemeng Gallery, as it's 20 kilometers long. The point you reach by direct navigation is usually crowded, making it hard to take good photos. Navigate to Haiyun Hotel instead, where there's a large lawn, perfect for taking great photos on a sunny day and watching a stunning sunset! 7. Head out early to Nanshan Temple to easily find a parking spot and avoid the crowds. Besides seeing the 108-meter-tall sea-based Guanyin statue, you can also touch Buddha's feet, draw fortune sticks, copy scriptures for blessings, and get stamped. There are places in the scenic area where you can get free incense, and you must not wear revealing clothes! 10. Sanya's attractions are quite scattered, and the distances across bays are large. If you happen to be with a group of friends, renting a car for a self-driving tour is more experiential. Be sure to rent from a reputable platform and take a video of the car's condition before renting! 11. Visit the duty-free shop in the morning, you can start shopping when it opens at 10 am. It gets crowded in the afternoon, and you may have to queue for some popular brands! 8. There are many night markets in Sanya, and they are all pretty similar. Visit the one closest to you; if you're staying in Sanya Bay or Dadonghai, you can visit the First Market Night Market and Yiheng Night Market; if you're in Yalong Bay, you can visit Bohou Village Night Market, and if you're in Haitang Bay, Linwang Night Market is the place to go! 9. I don't recommend eating seafood at the night market, but the snacks are worth it! There are quite a few special foods in Sanya, and the ones I found tasty include Xiaobai's Oriental Roast Suckling Pig, Yanjiang Hainan Cuisine, Buzaike Seafood, and Qionger Zao Vinegar Coconut Chicken! 10. For local souvenirs, you can go to the supermarket at Shengli Square, which offers a wide selection and is reliable and affordable. For fruits, try Xinhong Port or the First Market, and don't be shy to bargain. Good vendors will offer you wholesale prices. For shipping, I suggest choosing the less ripe ones!LAURA BARKER12
Spring is in the air, exploring the beauty of Wanning in HainanI went to Wanning with my parents a few years ago and found it quite comfortable and pleasant to stay in.😌😌 Just finished exams, and my friends and I wanted to go out and have fun without going to crowded places. We thought Wanning would be perfect for a few days of relaxation. We organized a private group tour, with hotel and transportation all arranged. It was very free; when tired, we just lay in the hotel eating and drinking water🥥, and running or walking by the seaside🌊 with the sea breeze was also amazing. Below are some of my genuine thoughts, hoping to help everyone👌 ————————— Wanning only has a train station, no airport. You need to land in Haikou or Sanya by plane and then transfer to a train to get there.🚈 Be sure to take good sun protection measures, as the UV rays at the beach are strong. The round-trip ferry ticket to Sanya's West Island is only 98 yuan, and you can book a tour bus around the island in advance online, or rent a small electric car on the island for a tour. Corona Sunset Bar is located in Wanning's Shenzhou Peninsula, a very popular beach bar. You only need to buy a bottle of Corona beer for 38 yuan to take photos📷, which are very photogenic. During the trip, we spent one night at the Fenjiezhou Island Fishing Club, which is also very photogenic. When you go there, check if there are rooms available; if the price is right, go for it. Sanya's West Island is a must-visit spot for Instagram-worthy photos. You can buy a coconut to take pictures with, which is very characteristic. The island's residents are also very hospitable, with century-old houses, and walking by the seaside is very comfortable.🌊 The photos from Shimei Bay are straight out of the camera, and when the weather is good, no filter is needed to capture beautiful pictures. The sunrise at the Sunac Chapel is also an excellent shooting spot; it's recommended to get up early to see it. GROM surf shop is a very comfortable place where you can order a drink and sit there in a daze. The large glass window at the entrance is also a great spot for photos. The road leading to the lighthouse is also beautiful, offering a great view of the sunset. Xiehou Seafood Restaurant's secret golden crab is very famous, and you must try it! Panlong sea eel and grilled Arctic shellfish are also very fresh and delicious. Lao Qiongzhou Maple Duck is also a must-try restaurant, with very fresh duck meat and generous portions. The colorful cake and coconut rice are also delicious. Taiqiong century-old Zaozao vinegar hotpot has a very appetizing vinegar soup base, and you can drink the soup continuously for three bowls! The farmer's Dongshan goat coconut chicken has no gamey taste, tastes very fragrant and glutinous, and includes tofu skin and radish, which is delicious. Overall, these are all good food recommendations, and I hope everyone will like them too!ELLIS BURNETT1
Sanya West Island | Blue sky and sea, waiting for you with the wind🌈West Island, also known as Tortoiseshell Island, is a small island located in Sanya Bay ☀️Island visit time: 8:30 to 17:30 Departure time: 9:00 to 18:00 🌈The water on West Island is very clear, and the sea is particularly blue. It is also a good place for water activities 🌟Island tour route: After going to West Island, I found out that it is super small, although it is divided into Bull King Island Scenic Area and Fishing Village Scenic Area After getting off the boat, don't rent an electric car at the dock. There are many private electric cars outside the dock, and they are very cheap You can go to the fishing village first, or you can go to Bull King Island first (there are many delicious foods in the fishing village Bull King Island is just a service area food) But both sides are connected, and there is a small road in the middle connecting the fishing village and Bull King Island coastal road After leaving the dock, rent a car by yourself. When you wander around, you can get to it, so for those who go for the first time, don't rush to rent a car It is recommended to wear fresh style clothes when going to West Island, mainly in solid colors, as long as it is solid color, it is particularly photogenic ☀️Ticket purchase: The online package tickets are dazzling. If you don't play water activities, you can just buy a round-trip boat ticket. 🍀The island's car tickets and buffets are not very useful, choose according to personal circumstances 💎If you want to play water activities, make a strategy online in advance, see which projects you want to play, and make a reservation online in advance👌🏻 🌸Accommodation: West Island is more suitable for parent-child, couples, girlfriends and family outings There are many beautiful homestays on the island, you can choose slowly, it is recommended to avoid holidays, the price will skyrocket during holidays, usually, it is just a few hundred🍀NomadicWanderer_44

Where to take the kids on vacation - The holiday-filled West IslandA 7-day and 6-night trip to Hainan with the kids, the unexpected West Island turned out to be a big surprise. It's a rich and interesting little island, with beautiful scenery and lively atmosphere. The fun of taking the kids to catch sea creatures in the glass sea directly fills up the holiday happiness value. ✺ Key points of the guide ✺ 【1】If time permits, try to arrange two days and one night, take the kids to experience the fun of catching sea creatures in the morning and evening. After the daytime tourists leave in the evening, it's very leisurely and quiet. 【2】To take a picture of the Xiaqi Port lighthouse, sit on the right side of the window of the departing ship, and on the left side of the window of the incoming ship (sit in the last few rows of the ship to reduce bumps). 【3】Book the only hotel on the island, which has a VIP channel, so you don't have to queue up to get on the ship, and there is a sightseeing car from the hotel when you get off the ship. Although the homestays on the island do not have this service, they also have the fun of staying in a fishing village that the hotel can't experience. 【4】The door ticket includes round trip, no need to check the ticket when leaving the island. 【5】Niuwang Island is a 10-minute sightseeing car ride from the island tourist center. Climb up Niuwang Ridge, walk around the island, the hill is not high, not much road to walk, many rocks, a good place to catch sea creatures, the sea is blue, it's a beautiful and fun little island. 【6】It's too sunny at noon, suitable for finding a cool place under the coconut grove to lie down with a coconut. Start catching sea creatures in the afternoon and evening, and wander around the crisscrossing paths in the fishing village.Liam.Roberts^81
Why didn't anyone tell me that this is how to play in SanyaWho says you can't go to Sanya when it's hot? At this time, Sanya doesn't have high-priced accommodations, and you can have a blast playing by the seaside every day! 🌵Day1: After landing, you can stay in Sanya Bay, which is close to the airport. You must visit 🙏Nanshan Temple, there are tricks to taking photos at Nanshan Temple, so do some research before you go. In the afternoon, head to 🌲Yemeng Gallery, with its tens of kilometers of coastline lined with coconut trees, and watch the sunset. At night, go to the First Market to eat seafood, fried ice, and Qingbu Liang, I'll eat until I can't walk. 🌵Day2: Xidao🦀️, a small fishing village in Sanya, where you can spend the whole day. If you're not staying on Xidao, go early to catch the boat, starting at 8 am when there are fewer people and it's cooler. Rent a small electric car in the fishing village, usually 20 yuan per hour, and renting for a morning is enough! There are many delicious foods in the fishing village, so have your lunch there, you can eat coconut chicken🐔, the chicken is tender and delicious. Niuwangling only has one convenience store and no place to eat. Niuwangling sea foraging, there are quite a few marine creatures in the shallows here. After 4 pm, leave the island, if you're tired, go to the night market, if not, you can go to 🦌Luhuitou to see Sanya's night view🌄. 🌵Day3: Atlantis Water World, if you want to play in the water without being ripped off, come here! If the budget allows, stay here for one night, the biggest advantage of staying here is that you can play in the aquarium and water world unlimited times, perfectly avoiding the crowds. The hotel's private beach has a beautiful sunset🌄! Since it's in Haitang Bay, which is far from Sanya Bay, it's recommended to change hotels this day, you can choose to stay in the hotel or Yalong Bay. 🌵Day4: Since you're in Haitang Bay, then take a trip to the cdf duty-free shop🛒, the largest duty-free shop in Sanya, much bigger than the Haitravel in the city. Be sure to find coupons, it will be much cheaper, buy the items with more points first, then use the points to offset the cash. After shopping, head to Yalong Bay, ✨Yalong Bay is after all the best bay in the world, the water is blue, and the sand is fine. At night, go to 🥥Liupan Village night market, there are so many delicious foods! 🌵Day5: Tropical Forest Park, also in Yalong Bay, there are many attractions inside that charge a second fee, depending on personal needs. It's best to bring some food and drinks, as it's generally expensive inside, if you're with elderly or children, consider changing to a different scenic spot, as there's a lot of uphill walking. If you don't want to go there, you can go to 🔵Wuzhizhou Island, don't hesitate between it and Xidao, each has its own characteristics, Wuzhizhou Island's sea is the bluest. Sanya's pace is slow, so let's slow down our pace, it's not recommended to keep changing scenic spots, several places in one day, Sanya is not suitable for that.🐳Sanya's South Sea Fish Uncle's pickled vinegar, Yelin Grandma's coconut chicken, Dongshan goat, mango mixed with chili🥭, these are all delicious, no tourist traps, everyone can try them!Elijah.Butler@431

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find your own peace on the West IslandThe West Island is located on the west side of Sanya, facing Sanya Bay across the sea. From the island, you can view the entire Sanya Bay, and it is also a great spot to watch airplanes land at Phoenix Airport. West Island, a fishing village with a history of 400 years, is not very large and not fully developed. More than four thousand indigenous people live on the island, which has a police station, kindergarten, primary school, seaside sandy beaches, coconut breeze corridors, as well as century-old houses and a sea library. It is a small island with a blend of artistic and homely atmosphere. The place where you disembark on the island allows you to feed fish in the clear waters teeming with fish. After landing, the fishing village is on the left-hand side. Passing through the tourist center and across the coconut palm beach, you will soon reach the entrance to the fishing village. In the morning, you can go to catch crabs at low tide; anywhere along Niuwangling or Guanhai Avenue is good for this activity, with plenty of small crabs and fish. In the evening, it's delightful to watch the sunset at Niuwangling, stopping as you please along the way.ABEL SIMPSON

It rained a few days ago. Today it was sunny. The photos were still very good. The sea was very blue and clear. The sand was not the kind of fine sand. It was a bit thick. I took the children to play in the place where they disembarked for a long time. I picked up beautiful small stones and walked in. I rented a battery car in the village. I heard from my aunt. The West Island tourism development has been 20 years, but the scenic spot and the village were separated before. It was opened for the past three years, so tourists entered the village, so there is a kind of development in the village, but the environment and atmosphere can't keep up. It has a kind of soil and what others say is the local atmosphere, but the scenery is still good.
Convenient transportation, short boat time is mainly commute, West Island is very fun and not so commercial, you can catch the sea and watch the sunset, the island life is very leisurely and comfortable. . It's a bit hot and sun-dried. . .
The experience is very good, it is too hot. I have been sitting and drinking coffee at Ruixing coffee shop. The sea water is very clear and blue.
The tour route of the battery car in the West Island is generally the same. The seaside scenery of the fishing village is a surprise. The beach coconut grove and the life atmosphere of the fishing village bring a very good experience. It is suitable for a daze to enjoy the sea view and scenery.
The West Island is really a beautiful island, you can see the super blue sea on the boat! ! Be sure to go shopping, it is a very primitive small fishing village, be sure to see the sunset, beautiful! ! ! The food on the island is also delicious. The coconut is 10 yuan apiece. The pineapple mango is very cheap. There is a refreshing and refreshing. We went to eat Nanshu's vinegar. It was delicious. We also ate the seafood on the opposite side. I ordered a set meal and it tasted very good! It is very suitable for renting a battery car to go around. We rented two cars but 80 yuan at noon the next day. I asked a few more. There were sisters on the road to collect customers. It is recommended to stay on the West Island for one night, you can watch a sunset and catch the sea, you can also get up leisurely and leave the island, travel on the staggered peak, there is no need to queue up, there are many beautiful women taking pictures on the coral wall on the beach, and there are quite a lot of people on the whole island, but there are also many places where you can take pictures and punch in. Still very beautiful and beautiful, can take pictures of the blue sea background. Tucao, the island of Luckin can't use 9.9😣😣😣
Compared with Wuzhizhou Island, the West Island as a whole retains its own local characteristics. For example, the West Island is like an egg, the protein part is commercial development, the yolk part is the daily life of the residents, watching the sea here seems to be an ordinary little thing, or watching the sea is a part of their life, And we are just experience officers to come and experience their lives for a while. Whether it is West Island or Wuzhizhou Island, it is worth looking forward to and experiencing.
A not very commercial island. It used to be a fishing village. On the island, you can only ride a battery car. Snacks are not expensive. One point of fruit is cut 10 yuan, and three pieces of oysters are 4 yuan. There are many homestays on the island, and it is also very good to choose a living experience. You can also go to the beach to catch the sea at 10 o'clock in the evening. If it is not with children, I can play until the early morning. The overall feeling is still very good. It is that when there are too many battery cars on the island, pay attention to safety, otherwise it is easy to fall.
Very convenient, the West Island is very fun. Riding a battery car (free of charge at the homestay) around the island for half an hour, including a battery car for 30 yuan around the island, and calling when needed, the locals are still very simple. Go to Niuwangling to take a panoramic view, Niuwang Island to catch the sea, the fishing village pier to see the seafood boat 🚢 New goods, the coconut forest beach walk, the island is full of small roads, battery cars shuttle, walk must be sideways. Fresh coconut water is free, and the big gold coconut is only 12 yuan apiece. There are a lot of seafood on the island. Now I bought it for 20 yuan a catty. There are many barbecue shops on the beach. The taste is very good. You can choose a favorite barbecue fragrance to eat. Come and see and play 1-2 days are enough.
