First, experience
Personally, the ultimate goal of tourism is to relax and get happiness. So keep a good attitude when you go out.
First of all, many people like to watch Raiders, the purpose is not only to understand the situation, but also to prevent travel traps. This is sweet, and the other is arsenic. The so-called tourist trap is the profit of travel agencies or local tourism practitioners. We must resolutely oppose and expose the traps that harm our interests without mercy; However, don't be so "refined" that others have no profit at all. Besides, we can't avoid a limited trap, just like you spend one or two dollars on a self-funded project with a group, knowing that the shellfish in the seafood stall are processed for 3 yuan, you should always let him process it.
Secondly, when you are away from home, don't look for traps everywhere. Everything is strict. As mentioned above, tourist traps are everywhere. To make yourself happy, as long as it is not too much, just turn a blind eye. Others have to support their families, right? We went out for fun, not to find fault. Everyone is willing to give up some profits a little. Generally speaking, Sanya citizens are warm and kind.
Finally, "a penny for a penny" is simply an eternal truth! Accommodation, in particular, brings you not only a comfortable sleep, but also plenty of energy and beautiful appearance the next day. No one wants to take pictures everywhere under dark circles. See you later about accommodation.
Second, the equipment
The equipment to Sanya is relatively perfect in many raiders. Here, let's talk about our own supplements!
Clothing: Long sleeves are necessary for people who go to outdoor barbecues and bars by the sea at night. Try to prepare clothes with fast-drying fabrics. Bright colors are easy to take pictures. Two pairs of pants made of outdoor quick-drying fabric are very practical. It is convenient to wear pants when going out in the morning, and there are many mosquitoes on the island, which can also play a protective role. It is very convenient to take off your trouser legs when it is hot at noon or when treading water on the beach. And the price of two pairs of trousers is also cost-effective, and you can also bring one less piece of luggage! It's good to walk in slippers, but it's not convenient to go to the scenic spot. We have seen n pairs of slippers that are still worn out at the scenic spot. Beach shoes are safe and practical, but they are not very nice. They should wash it every day to avoid the smell. Crocs Carochi sandals are small and cute now, and they dry quickly, but I don't know if they are comfortable or not.
Sunscreen: Special cleansing oil is recommended for sunscreen with SPF30 above 30. Ordinary facial cleanser can't clean high-power sunscreen products (especially waterproof and sweat-proof). When the weather is hot, pores will be blocked and acne will grow, which will affect the photo taking effect. Oprah Winfrey has a sunscreen cleansing oil (orange plastic bottle) 90 yuan with moderate price and good effect. Don't use a sun umbrella when going to the seaside. The wind is strong, which is not conducive to taking pictures and posing. It's best to buy a hat with a tether, a deep hat, a straw hat or a shallow hat that can be easily blown away.
Towels: you can bring your own at home, and even high-end hotel towels and bath towels are common. Even though we believe in the professional ethics of most hotel cleaners, according to insiders, 100% is not guaranteed. In particular, women should take care of themselves and pay attention to hygiene. A little discomfort will affect the mood of travel. Also, prepare yourself a bar of soap.
Snacks: Sanya supermarket has all kinds of goods, so you don't need to bring too many things. You can bring some special snacks. We brought several packs of Kangding yak meat. Our little care for the hotel service staff will make you see a sincere smile when you go out every day.
Three. Regional overview
Sanya can be roughly divided into four areas: urban area, Sanya Bay, Dadonghai and Yalong Bay.
(1) Downtown
Sanya is a small city, with Jiefang Road as the north-south axis, and all stations, shopping malls, supermarkets and food are distributed on both sides of Jiefang Road. In the urban area, there is a large flow of people during the day and night, and there are many vendors on both sides of the street, and the scene is chaotic. But from another perspective, it is also a manifestation of the developed tourism industry in this city. Convenient transportation and many buses. If you don't have to take a taxi outside the city, it won't take half an hour to walk the whole liberation road. In Sanya, there are more foreigners than locals, and taxi drivers, bus drivers and ticket sellers are basically from the northeast.
Shopping Center: Fang Yi Department Store, XX Plaza (I forgot the name, it is next to Fang Yi Department Store) and Pearl Plaza. The layout of shopping malls is similar, and Pearl Square is bigger. The first floor is full of cosmetics and pearls, but the mahogany counter is only available on the first floor of Pearl Plaza. Mahogany is a specialty of Hainan. I bought a rosewood bracelet in Haikou before (usually worn by men). Medium-sized ones with a price tag of more than 400 can be bargained to around 150, but things in Sanya may be more expensive. As for pearls, you must buy them in shopping malls. The discount in Sanya is not as low as that in Haikou.
Pedestrian Street: It is equivalent to Chunxi Road in Chengdu, with clothing stores on both sides and stalls selling handicrafts in the middle. There is a Watsons in front of the pedestrian street. When you are tired of shopping, you can order a pot of Hainan specialty tea "Lan Guiren" and a pot of 48 yuan in the "Fairy Tale Forest" (Sanya version of Fairy Tale Forest) at the street corner. The entrance is bitter and the aftertaste is sweet, which can relieve summer heat and clear heat.
Supermarkets: There are characteristic supermarkets in the larger streets of Sanya, and the larger one is Wang Hao Supermarket next to the bus station (not far from the pedestrian street).
(2) Sanya Bay
Located in the east of Sanya, the coastline (Coconut Dream Corridor) is very long, just outside the main road, but the beach is only 50 meters wide, and there are few people swimming generally. There are star-rated hotels, holiday hotels and elevator apartments (family hotels) in the main road. There are also many seafood stalls and western restaurants on the roadside. To the east, Sanya Bay is the Phoenix Airport, Nanshan, Cave and the ends of the earth.
(3) Dadonghai
Nearest to the city, there are the most hotels and the most complicated tourists. Generally, designated hotels with tours or free travel are all in Dadonghai. The sea is about 500 meters from the main road. The beach is wide and there are many people swimming. It is called "Citizen Beach", and foreigners (mostly Russians) account for half of the beach. Next to the beach are bars and dining streets.
(4) Yalong Bay
The environment of Yalong Bay should be everyone's ideal view of Sanya, which is basically a five-star garden sea view hotel. But more than 20 kilometers away from the city, there are no shopping malls and shops, and there are only a few garden restaurants outside the hotel. There are underwater world, hotel garden and Wuzhizhou to the west.
Fourth, traffic.
Sanya has convenient transportation and many modes of transportation, such as taxis, buses and chartered cars.
Taxi: It is said in the Raiders that 5 yuan in the city has been gone, but we called three times, all of which were masters from the northeast, and asked us to set the watch. In order to avoid the trap reasonably, we chose to walk, but we found that it would not take long. Taking a taxi is not recommended. Take a walk around the city, take a bus to the scenic spots, and charter a car at a farther place.
Bus: Bus No.8 (air-conditioned) goes from Phoenix Airport to East Station, passing through the airport, Sanya Bay Coconut Dream Corridor, Pedestrian Street, Wang Hao Supermarket, Fang Yi Department Store, First Market and Dadonghai Area, but it cannot reach Yalong Bay. Charge by distance, generally 1 yuan, from Dadonghai to 5 yuan Airport. The special tourist line (air-conditioned car) runs from Dadong to Yalong Bay, passing through all scenic spots and downtown areas, from Dadonghai to Dadong 13 yuan, and from Tian Xiaodong to Nanshan 3 yuan. But if you go to the cave, the flight attendant will advise you to buy a set meal there (it is said that it will not be sold after noon), including tickets, lunch and battery cars in the scenic spot. It is not recommended to buy a package ticket because it depends on the catering section. 16 is the worst bus we have ever taken. Actually, it's an older bus, going to the big and small caves (passing through the ends of the earth). The route is the urban-rural fringe, and the loess flies around, that is, it will take a lot of time to stop immediately. Strongly not recommended. Now because the bridge to the ends of the earth is broken, the tourist line can't reach, so I have to get off halfway and take three rounds. If you want to go to the ends of the earth, you can only take the 16 bus at the gate of the return scenic spot. Besides No.7 and No.9, there are other buses. 10, with air conditioning, but no 1 and No.2 are old buses with smaller models.
Chartered car: Generally, people who go to Wuzhizhou are chartered cars. We didn't go, so we have no right to say anything about it.
V. Accommodation
Among the four districts in Sanya, it is best not to live in the urban area when traveling, because it is too far from the sea and noisy.
Sanya Bay: Young people choose family hotels in Sanya Bay elevator apartment community. Most of the hotels here are holiday hotels of enterprises, and foreign hotels are also very beautiful. But because the beaches in Sanya Bay are not good, most tourists don't live here.
Yalong Bay: It's beautiful and expensive. Standard star-rated hotels (Hilton, Holiday and the like) all have gardens. If you have a car (car rental), you can live in this area, because all coastal hotels have private beaches, and of course, other tourists can also go to this beach. However, you can swim in the sea through the garden in a bathing suit and a bathrobe with the hotel logo printed on it, and then rest on the sofa on the beach. Personally, I think Yalong Bay is suitable for vacation. I don't need to go to other scenic spots. Enjoy the hotel's star service every day and swim on the beach to bask in the sun.
Dadonghai: If it is the first time to visit Sanya, tourists who don't rent a car are advised to stay in Dadonghai. There are many hotels of various grades. The prices of first-line hotels near the seaside (but not as high as Yalong Bay) are relatively high, such as South China, Yintai (with more foreigners), Pearl and Hetai. There are many real sea view rooms, but there are no other buildings. Second-tier hotels (not directly near the sea) are cheaper, such as Huaxin, which is not far from the sea, and it takes less than 5 minutes to walk to the sea, but the so-called sea view rooms are covered by buildings. We live in Huaxin, the price is more than 300 (big bed sea view room), and the hardware and environment don't feel like a quasi-four-star. I recommend Hetai, which is small and exquisite. It was completed in 2008. We went to the front desk to ask about the price. The most common room was 65438+ 10 months ago in 500 yuan, and the sea view room was about 700. It seems a lot more expensive, but if I stay in Dadonghai, Sanya again, I will definitely choose a first-line hotel.
There are some additional instructions about accommodation:
First, choose what you need. According to the travel agency's free quotation, Yalong Bay second-line hotel is about 2300, Dadonghai second-line hotel is about 1600, and Dadonghai first-line hotel is about 2000. Some people say that living in Yalong Bay is better than living in Dadonghai. But what about other costs? Transportation and meals will also increase a lot! Therefore, instead of comparing absolute prices, the key is to see whether you have a car, whether you are going on vacation or to a scenic spot, and how much time you have to go to the city.
Secondly, the front desk clerk of Hetai told us that it is more convenient to book and travel by phone directly through the travel agency, and the price is not more than tens of yuan. I stayed in Huaxin Hao for the first night, but I couldn't bear to change the sea view room (I hope there is more space). As a result, the hotel cannot be changed directly, and the travel agency must agree. The difference between them is the decision of the travel agency, which is extremely inconvenient!
As far as family hostels are concerned, as long as they are distributed in Dadonghai and Sanya Bay.
The bay of Dadonghai is not only busy day and night, but also many tourists and citizens like to swim, play, eat and barbecue in the seaside stalls. At night, beautiful and enchanting fireworks bloom in the night sky, where they feel rich and fulfilling. Sanya Bay has the most beautiful sunset, golden beaches and golden sea. The only drawback is that you can't swim. In addition to the safety zone designated by the hotel, it is recommended not to swim without authorization because there are no safety measures.
It's hard to say which is near the city. Look at your specific location, Dadonghai is about one kilometer away from the urban area, and Sanya Bay extends from the urban area to the ends of the earth. Sanya Bay is two or three kilometers long in the urban area. I suggest living in Dadonghai.
The family hotel in Dadonghai is close to Haidu, with convenient transportation. I recommend a family hotel in Dadonghai, "Coconut Sea Style Residence", which is 3 minutes' walk from the sea. The opening time is not long, and the decoration service is in place. The boss is from the northeast, and his attitude is very enthusiastic. The kitchen cooks for free, and the boss can also help with the processing of seafood for free, which makes him feel at home. Reference (Search Coconut Sea Style Residence).
Sixth, diet
(1) Chinese food
Four famous dishes in Hainan: Wenchang Chicken, Jiaji Duck, Lehe Crab and East Goat.
Wenchang Chicken recommends Guo Li Restaurant. Sanya locals go there a lot, on Wen Ming Road (next to Hexi Fire Squadron). However, if you are used to eating Sichuan food and go to eat white-cut Wenchang chicken, you really won't feel happy, and it is oily. However, every table in this restaurant is equipped with a can of pepper and garlic, which is a good seasoning. I have tasted two or three other dishes in this restaurant and found them mediocre. But I saw that the guest next door ordered a plate of white water squid, which seemed to be eaten with seasoning. It looks very good. In addition, the "sweet potato" in Hainan refers to sweet potato, so we don't know where to order a fried sweet potato leaf. The result looks like a fried sweet potato tip, which is extremely depressing!
Jiaji Duck recommends Qionghai Goose Jiaji Duck Hotel. It's a restaurant, but it's actually a restaurant painted by ordinary people. It was recommended by our local restaurant 1 14, which eats Cargill duck. It's opposite Youyi Road (No. Sanya n primary school). Jiaji duck is also a white-cut duck, and its meat quality is not too fat, which is better than Wenchang chicken, but it is still not as good as braised duck. The soup in this restaurant is very affordable. Peanut trotters soup 15 yuan, peanut trotters are crazy. Fried leek with goose blood tastes close to Sichuan food. When we found this restaurant, it was already past 2 noon. Our later guests ordered Cargill Duck, which was sold out. I don't know if it is accidental or really good. I suggest you go early.
After eating Wenchang chicken and Jiaji duck, I don't want to eat Dong goat. Le and Xie go to the food stall to eat, as shown below. According to the introduction of authentic Hainan cuisine, you can go to Haiya Restaurant. According to the local people, it was expensive and the location was difficult to find, so I didn't go.
(2) Seafood
When eating seafood in Sanya, you must not go to scenic spots or restaurants, but to food stalls. There are food stalls everywhere in Sanya, and we finally asked about the location of the "Spring Garden" after tossing and turning. The spring garden has been renovated recently, and only seafood is sold in the back row of the square. The waiter in the processing shop over there can take you to the back row to buy, and will also take you to the "old fisherman seafood" next door to choose seafood (there should be a rebate). We have compared, "old fisherman" is cheaper, and the price is similar to the first market mentioned in the raiders. Lehe crab is more delicious and expensive than blue crab. Steamed eggs with grouper, rich shrimp and sea urchin are quite refreshing. Note: The processing point claims that the processing fee is 5 yuan per catty, only for fish, shrimps and crabs, and less than one catty counts as one catty. And scallops, scallops, small abalone and other shellfish each 3 yuan. Steamed eggs with sea urchins are 5 yuan each (because they need to be steamed). It's best to look at the processing charge price card on the table first. As for whether seafood, fruit and cold water can be eaten together, we can't agree, but according to the only boss who sells drinks in the square, it's ok. In addition, it is said that Spring Garden doesn't process things outside now (such as seafood in the first market), so we are all busy eating and don't ask. As I said just now, the price of the seafood restaurant they bring is similar to that of the first market, so they are too lazy to carry long distances and give others a little profit.
(3) snacks
Personally speaking, Sanya's famous snacks, such as Paul powder, are far from my expectations, as well as sweet potato cakes and papaya cakes ... alas! Everyone has different tastes. Besides, it is always a pity to go to a place without tasting the local characteristics.
(4) Fruit
There are many kinds of fruits in the first market, and the prices are similar to those in the raiders. Hainan fruit is really delicious, and there are many varieties. It is generally reported that two pounds are missing, and it is estimated that this is also the case.
(5) drinks
There are several western restaurants in the pedestrian street, afternoon tea group 18 yuan, with a drink and a cake. Personally, I think fruit juice, milk tea and the like can be eaten everywhere and should always be local. As I said before, a pot of "Lan Gui Ren" is good, but the tea set is not so good. As for the bar, we went to an open-air restaurant at Dadong seaside for two nights (get off at Luling intersection, take Huahai Road to the bar street at Dadong seaside, and go directly to the right across the steps). In the evening, we mainly consume drinks and drinks. The staple food of western food is about 60 yuan, a bottle of beer 15, cocktails ranging from 30 to 40 yuan, and ice cream about 20 yuan. However, although lemon black tea is 15 yuan, it is actually a cup as small as a coffee cup. 35 yuan has enough fruit wine. In the evening, I sit quietly with my family and friends, blowing the sea breeze, listening to the songs of the resident singers, and I feel very comfortable on vacation.
Seven. attract
This time we went to several scenic spots. It is said that Wuzhizhou is building a five-star hotel, so we didn't go. Colleagues who have been there before said that the beach is beautiful, and you can feed small fish at the seaside even if you don't swim (beaches in Sanya Bay, Dadong Bay and Yalong Bay, you may not see fish when you walk 20 meters into the sea). However, taking a submarine is very uncomfortable. We went to caves, big and small, and went to the ends of the earth.
The Great Cave (Taoist Cultural Park) is just a cave. The tour group took it around and left. It's different to go by yourself. The park with beautiful scenery is beautiful. A coconut grove avenue runs through the scenic spot, with the sea on the right and the mountains on the left. When you go in, you will walk along the beach to Tian Xiaodong. When you come back, you will walk up the hill on the left in front of Tian Xiaodong. There are many scenic spots on the mountain, such as young pine trees, Shoubi Nanshan, monuments and the courtyard of the Dragon King. Don't worry, walk slowly, watch slowly, take pictures slowly, taste culture and be happy physically and mentally. Down the mountain, there is a coconut grove rest area at the entrance of the scenic spot. Coconut 8 8- 10/one in 0 yuan, 8 yuan in front. Just entering the gate, there is a Taoist health pavilion, which is the lunch place recommended by the flight attendants of the above-mentioned tourist special line. Personally, it doesn't make much sense. In addition, don't spend 15 yuan in sightseeing bus at any time. On the one hand, the scenery along the way is beautiful, and I will get off the bus to take pictures at any time. On the other hand, sightseeing bus is less than 2 kilometers, which is really boring!
The scenic spots at the ends of the earth are about the size of caves, but there are no mountains. There are more people on the beach, and all the scenic spots are also by the sea. Some people say not to go to the ends of the earth, I don't understand! We just didn't take pictures at the cape. We had to wade to the rocks. Don't sightseeing bus, the same reason. Swimming is prohibited in scenic spots.
Yalong Bay is ok, but personally, the beach is not as good as the ends of the earth. You can go by bus, don't buy tickets at Yalong Bay Square, and get off at Underwater World. On the right side of expressway, there is a road leading to the diving place by the sea. Go to the sea from the right side. Most of the beaches in Yalong Bay are divided up by hotels. There were not many people on the day we went, and the hotel waiter didn't show up to remind us that beach loungers were all embarrassing things in the hotel. There are too many people to control. There is a section of stone and shell on the beach, which is easy to be cut by the waves.
Eight. abstract
Long-winded as above, I hope to provide you with something useful. This is our first trip to Sanya. If you find any shortcomings when you come back from the visit, you are welcome to criticize, correct and supplement. I wish you all a happy holiday!
