01What to see
Sanya: the four places that matter
Ordered the way you should actually visit them, not by fame.
Yalong Bay
7 km of calm water and white sand, with the best swimming on the island.
Wuzhizhou Island
Diving and snorkelling in clear water, 20 minutes by boat from Haitang Bay.
Nanshan Buddhist Park
A 108-metre Guanyin statue standing in the sea; impressive at sunset.
Luhuitou Park
A hill above Sanya Bay with the deer-legend statue and the city lights below.
02Two-day plan
How we would plan your two days
Built around opening times and traffic, not around a list of attractions.
Day 1 · Settle in
Check in, swim, sunset at Luhuitou, seafood at the first-market area (pick your fish, choose a cooker).
Day 2 · Island
Wuzhizhou for diving or snorkelling, back by 16:00, resort dinner.
Day 3 · Inland
Nanshan Guanyin in the morning, Yanoda rainforest or the Li minority village in the afternoon.
Local notes

06Questions
Sanya: questions travellers actually ask
Which bay should I stay in?
Yalong for the beach, Dadonghai for convenience and food, Haitang for resorts.
Is Sanya expensive?
In peak season, yes. Off-season resort rates fall by half.
Do I need a car?
A car is useful between bays; taxis are plentiful but surge at night.
The full guide runs to four pages — in Chinese
Tickets, opening hours, hour-by-hour itineraries and eighteen local questions. Machine translation handles these pages well; send us a screenshot if anything is unclear.
How booking Sanya works — three steps, itinerary before price
No deposit to get a plan, and nothing is locked in before you agree to it.
-
Send the brief
Dates, party size, how you arrive and what you want to see. Tell us the working language you need and whether anyone has trouble with stairs.
-
Get a route and a price
We order the stops by location and traffic, then quote per car per day with fuel, tolls and the driver included. Ask for changes as often as you need — it costs nothing.
-
Confirm and travel
Only after you accept the route and the price do we assign the car and guide. You get their contact details before pickup, so you are never handed off to a stranger.
