Yalong Bay Forest Park: A Lush, Vibrant Oasis
Stepping into the tropical paradise of Yalong Bay Forest Park, I was immediately captivated by the dense vegetation and colorful flowers. Walking along the paths, the tall coconut trees and lush banyan trees provided shade, making me feel cool and comfortable. The occasional bird song added to the vitality and liveliness of the forest. When I reached the top of the mountain and overlooked the entire Yalong Bay, I was stunned by the breathtaking view. The sea and the beach complemented each other, and the distant mountains added a sense of tranquility and peace. Here, I felt as if I had become one with nature, experiencing its grace and beauty. Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park is truly a tropical treasure worth exploring and discovering!

🇨🇳 Sanya Watersports
#watersports #100WaysOfTravel
Come with me to the beautiful white beaches along Sanya coast. It is such a beautiful city in Hainan and many locals and tourists love to come to Sanya. This part of Sanya beach is along the famous Coconut Tree Long Corridor trail and Sanya Bay. It is very near to Sanya Phoenix Airport and you can also come here easily by high speed train. When you are here in Sanya, you must participate in their watersports activities and the flying jet is the most popular activity. However there is a weight limit because the instructor will have to carry you and fly into the sky, hovering above the water. You can negotiate the price easily here with the operators.

So far, the most satisfying hotel I've stayed at in Sanya, bar none
If there is another kind of luxury in this world, it must be like the Mandarin Oriental. As one of the top five luxury hotels in Sanya, the Mandarin Oriental Sanya Coral Bay Hotel exclusively enjoys the entire Coral Bay, nestled between mountains and water, truly stunning. Although we encountered typhoon and heavy rain weather during our stay, the rain stopped midway, and the moment we opened the door, it felt as if all the worldly troubles and mundane worries were washed away, leaving us in peace and tranquility.
👍Hotel Environment:
Facing the Coral Bay of the South China Sea, it exclusively enjoys a 1.2-kilometer beach, backed by lush mountains, truly a 'world within a bay.' When Southeast Asian style meets Oriental aesthetics, and Hainan's Li and Miao culture blends with minimalism, the entire hotel becomes more secluded and luxurious, with a unique charm. The public area in the South Asian style is incredibly impressive, with over 80% greenery coverage. The well-arranged vegetation complements the guest rooms, with every detail reflecting respect for nature and culture. Especially the giant phoenix tree on the large lawn, like a phoenix soaring in the sky, makes people want to make a wish under the tree.
👍Hotel Rooms:
The hotel rooms are roughly divided into three areas: mountain, sea, and sky, with room types including guest rooms, suites, and villas, each area having its own characteristics. This time, we stayed in the Helena Rubinstein co-branded suite. Open the door and see the sea. The room is spacious, and going out from the back door is the Im Afun check-in point. Because of the small courtyard, the soundproofing and privacy are excellent. Guests staying in this room type also receive a Helena Rubinstein set. Additionally, the villas are highly recommended, with villa + pool + sea view, only MO has it in Sanya.
👍Hotel Public Area:
You must leisurely stroll around the hotel's public area. It can be said without reservation that it is the pinnacle of Sanya hotel public areas. With over 11,000 green plants, it is simply an oxygen paradise. Sculptures of people and animals can be seen everywhere, seemingly telling ancient stories. At sunset, you must go near the beach to chase a romantic moment. There are many check-in points in the public area, you can refer to the pictures.
👍Hotel Dining:
🔹Yi Yang Chinese Restaurant: Traditional Chinese cuisine, Southeast Asian specialties combined with Cantonese cuisine, you must try the fermented vinegar lamb, the taste is very exquisite.
🔹Hai Jiao Xuan: An open sunset restaurant, eating Western food while listening to the story of the sea, who can refuse such romance?
🔹Seafood Buffet: An open-air beach restaurant, truly sitting by the sea eating seafood. Lobster, foie gras, durian unlimited, also my personal favorite restaurant.
👍Other Features:
Swimming in the sea, sailing out to sea, snorkeling and feeding fish, check-in photos, paddleboarding, comfortable spa, various holiday projects are available, very worth experiencing.
Finally, don't forget to make a wish under the phoenix tree, it's very effective~

scuba diving 🤿 in Sanya Wuzhizhou island deep sea 🐙
#outdooractivities
It turns out that diving in Sanya is really like this. There is a sea that has been cured to Sanya, and it can really be very filmed. As a non-professional photographer, every time I take a camera down, I can take a little surprise.
The scuba diving portrait is more like a travel photo, and it pays more attention to the relationship between light and shadow and the divers and the environment. Due to the influence of equipment, the face is patted. No matter how beautiful the beautiful girl is, she can't be beautiful even if her hair is not tied well, then the face will be...
Review today's photos. The aperture is too large, and the ideal aperture will be better at f8-f11.
Date: April 5th
Diving Site: Sanya Wuzhizhou

I am willing to call this JW Marriott in Dadonghai, Sanya the best
Not to mention anything else, just the sea view alone beats countless other resort hotels. What's the key? It's incredibly appealing 🤩!
Dadonghai, being close to the city, has always been less chosen by people, resulting in fewer and fewer visitors. It has transformed from a popular tourist area to a niche one... And the price of the Shanhaitian JW Marriott this summer is also quite niche, making it a steal.
✅ Creating a stunning infinity pool with the largest area in all of Sanya, it's particularly photogenic, making you feel like you're in a blue dream.
✅ The sea view rooms offer a picturesque view from every window, showcasing the clear blue sea of Dadonghai. The room's decor exudes luxury, providing a great living experience!
✅ The children's playground and entertainment facilities in the hotel are quite comprehensive, so staying here with kids won't be a disappointment. It's not only suitable for sisters who love taking photos but also perfect for family vacations!

Sanya 3 Days 2 Nights Summer Travel Guide
Just returned from beautiful Sanya, I have summarized this super practical 3 days 2 nights travel guide for my sisters, including food, drinks, and entertainment. 🏖️
🌦️Weather
The recent temperature is around 28°-32°, with a perceived temperature of around 32 degrees.
🚗Transportation
Mainly by taxi + bus, because staying in Dadonghai or Sanya Bay is not very far from anywhere. Sisters with conditions can choose to drive by themselves, as the highways in Hainan are toll-free.
🏨Accommodation
It is recommended to choose hotels near Dadonghai or Sanya Bay, close to the city, convenient for food, drinks, and entertainment, and cost-effective.
🗺Itinerary
🌳Day 1: Nanshan Temple - Tianya Town
Nanshan Temple (103/person)
Be sure to take the sightseeing bus, the scenic area is very large, and walking alone is really tiring.
Tour route: Buer Gate - Golden Jade Guanyin - Sea Guanyin - Longevity Valley - Bodhi Tree - Nanshan Temple - Nanshan Seaside - Thirty-three Guanyin Hall - Cihang Pudu Garden
Tianya Town (free)
A blue and white town along the coast, drinking coffee, watching the sea, and enjoying the sea breeze, very pleasant!
🌴Day 2: West Island - Coconut Dream Corridor - Yiheng Night Market
West Island (90/person)
The sea water is clear, it is a coral reef protection area, and there are unique coral houses on the island. Find a homestay to stay for one night, go to the beach at night, and go to the fish market early in the morning.
Coconut Dream Corridor (free)
Great for taking photos.
Yiheng Night Market
Bought a lot of little dresses at Yiheng Night Market, many of which are 100 yuan/3 pieces. There are also many kinds of snacks here, but it is a bit crowded.
🌅Day 3: Yacht Harbor - Dadonghai Beach Bar
Yacht Harbor (free)
You can finish visiting here in at most an hour, the clear sky is perfect for photos.
Dadonghai Beach Bar (free)
Beach chairs by the sea, swaying coconut trees, accompanied by the sea breeze, listening to the waves, it's just too chill.
🍽Food Recommendations
Alongjiang Hainan Cuisine → Aju Cold Drink → Puzhen Abo Zaopei Vinegar Hotpot → Junrui Sour Noodle Snack Shop → Qianniudao Zhazha Beef → Tanglaopu Qingbuliang

Current situation in Sanya in July! It's not too late to avoid these pitfalls before you go!
😤 Don't take illegal taxis near the airport or train station. These taxis often scam tourists. After picking up your luggage, cross the zebra crossing from Exit 7 to the parking lot on the 3rd floor to take a ride-hailing car or a regular taxi.
😤 Don't book hotels through private channels. Use official platforms or other reliable large platforms to book. Don't book a hotel just because you like it; spend more time checking ratings, reviews, and star ratings.
😤 Don't trust the food recommendations of taxi drivers. Check online platforms instead. Many drivers receive kickbacks and collaborate with restaurants and travel agencies to scam tourists.
😤 Don't go to duty-free shops without doing your homework. Make sure to do enough research beforehand; otherwise, you won't know what to buy or where to shop, and you might miss out on many discount policies.
😤 Don't rely entirely on navigation in Sanya. Remember to ask locals for directions when you encounter unfamiliar roads, as maps might lead you on a detour.
😤 Wuzhizhou Island and West Island are similar types of islands. If you don't have enough time, you can choose one. West Island is a slow-paced island with clear glassy seas and coral white sand beaches, suitable for family trips and young people to take photos. Wuzhizhou Island is more commercialized, but its jelly sea, Nemo sightseeing car, and various water activities are very attractive.
😤 Ask young people for directions. Although elderly people in Sanya are very enthusiastic, you might not understand their Hainanese dialect.
😤 It's recommended to buy local specialties at large supermarkets. They are authentic, have a wide variety, and are cheaper. Specialties in scenic spots are very expensive and you might end up buying fake products.
😤 The current perceived temperature in Sanya is around 35 degrees Celsius, and the UV rays are extremely strong. Sun protection is essential. Make sure to prepare enough sun hats, sunglasses, sun-protective clothing, and sunscreen spray, or you'll end up with a new tan.
😤 If you're staying for more than 5 days, consider changing hotels in between to experience different bay area sea views. For the first 3 days, you can stay in Sanya Bay or Dadonghai, close to the city center, where eating, living, and transportation are convenient. For the last 2 days, go to Yalong Bay or Haitang Bay to stay in a sea view hotel or a high-end hotel, occasionally visiting scenic spots and duty-free shops for a vacation feel.
😤 Sanya night markets are quite similar, so it's recommended to visit the nearest one. If you're staying in Sanya Bay or Dadonghai, you can visit Yiheng Night Market or First Market Night Market. If you're staying in Yalong Bay, you can visit Bohou Village Night Market. If you're staying in Haitang Bay, you can visit Linwang Night Market.
😤 Sanya is somewhat of a food desert, but if you choose wisely, you'll be satisfied. Restaurants like Yalong Hainan Cuisine, Qiong'er Zaopei Vinegar Coconut Chicken, Futai Thai Southeast Asian Cuisine, and Buzaike Seafood are all quite good.
😤 When visiting duty-free shops, one is enough: CDF International Duty-Free City in Haitang Bay has a wide variety of brands, mostly luxury goods, and many promotions. Hailv Duty-Free City in the city center is good for buying cosmetics and Apple products.

Enjoy delicious food and beautiful scenery at this family-friendly hotel in Sanya
This hotel is primarily aimed at families, but once you stay here, you'll find that besides being family-friendly, the hotel's scenery and food are also stunning.
This is the Sanya Sofitel Resort Hotel located in Haitang Bay, Sanya.
💁 Check-in:
The hotel experiences a peak check-in period in the afternoon, especially during the summer vacation season, which may require queuing. During check-in, it is evident that there is a shortage of staff and even some disorder, and there are not enough seats in the lobby for waiting and resting, which does affect the check-in experience.
⛺️ Rooms:
The rooms at the Sofitel are beautifully decorated in Tiffany blue, with exquisite and luxurious decor, but the rooms are indeed a bit small. Among the high-end hotels in Haitang Bay, the rooms are relatively small. However, the rooms on the higher floors of the main building have excellent views.
🏊 Pools:
The hotel has several pools, the largest of which is the main pool below the main building. It has many children's water play facilities, making it very suitable for families with children. You can also rent paddleboards to paddle in the pool, and there is a bar by the pool offering drinks. Additionally, there is a pool between the large lawn and the beach, which is deeper and more suitable for adult swimming, minimizing the mixing of adults and children.
🧒 Family-friendly:
As a family-friendly hotel, there are naturally many family facilities. In addition to water play, the hotel also has a sightseeing train, go-karts, an indoor playground, and a family baking classroom.
⛲️ Scenery:
The small path leading to the beach is a popular photo spot, with coconut groves on both sides forming a 'gate' to the sea, where many people take photos. Additionally, the large lawn is also very photogenic.
🍖 Food:
The hotel's buffet dinner is excellent, with a wide variety of dishes, especially their roasted foie gras.
The Thai restaurant in the Southeast Asian restaurant is also excellent, with authentic flavors.
The afternoon tea in the lobby bar is very beautiful, with an Eiffel Tower shape that looks great, but if you don't like sweets, you might want to skip it.
The hotel's breakfast can be delivered to your room, which needs to be booked in advance. The butler will set up a dining table in your room or on the balcony, and having breakfast while looking at the sea is also a great experience.

Tianya Small Town Treasure Homestay Yunxi Sea Homestay
Tianya Small Town Treasure Homestay Yunxi Sea Homestay
On the first day, we stayed in Tianya Small Town and checked in at Tianya Haijiao, which is about 2 kilometers from the west gate.
This homestay is on Bailong Street, and the sea is just around the corner when you step out. The homestay is quite well-decorated for a small town, with a style and living environment that suits young people, and it's relatively new. The owner is from the Northeast and is very enthusiastic; he even gave us tools to dig for shells.
There are seafood barbecues and coconut chicken here, but there aren't many breakfast shops.

A seaside B&B with a view in Sanya! Lie in bed and watch the sunset dusk
Finally settled into a sea-facing B&B in Tianya Town this time! Lying in bed and looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the sunrise and sunset, watching the beautiful seascape and the orange soda-like dusk, I was truly dazzled by the beauty
The design style of this B&B is simple yet detailed
The facilities in the room are very robust and it's really comfortable to stay in
Each room is equipped with a Dyson hairdryer and a Jurlique four-piece wash set
I really love their lavender scent, and the mattresses are latex beds that are just the right mix of soft and firm, super comfortable! Slept very well every night!
The B&B has a beautiful bar on the first floor, where you can come down for coffee and music in the morning or afternoon, and enjoy a cocktail at night, just tipsy enough, the ambiance is just right
Location: Sanya Wutong Jiuli·Aromatic Seaview Art Stay (Tianya Haijiao Store)

The hotel in Sanya really packs a punch~
The most satisfying hotel I booked for this trip is this one.
The overall theme of the hotel is blue and white.
As soon as I entered, I was attracted by the huge swimming pool.
Under the sunlight, the shimmering blue and green water is so enticing.
I really want to dive in and swim a kilometer.
It's free for guests, oh.
There are sun loungers and seats all around.
Taking photos for social media here is super photogenic.
The hotel also has a free laundry room.
It's really tourist-friendly.
The room layout is very sensible, and there's even a large bathtub.
The view from the window is also very tempting.
Standing at the door, you can overlook the entire pool area.
You get 3 exquisite travel photos upon check-in.
Just make an appointment with the front desk in advance.
The photos are taken very professionally and beautifully.
