Romantic Sanya 4 Days

Day 1 Various locations → Sanya★Meeting day in Sanya

All day

Today is the gathering day. After arriving at Sanya Airport or Sanya Station, our driver will pick you up and take you to the hotel for check-in according to your flight/high-speed rail schedule (usually check-in after 14:00)


After checking in, you will have free time on the day and there is no car service. Tourists who arrive early can go to Sanya Market on their own. The seafood here is complete in variety, fresh and affordable, and there are countless seafood processing shops around.

In addition to seafood, you can also taste many Hainan special snacks, such as Hainan noodles, coconut milk clear soup, etc.

If you prefer a quiet atmosphere, you can go to the beach to feel the sea breeze and listen to the whispers of the waves. The night in Sanya is also unique.

Day 2 Sanya → Wuzhizhou Island → Stay at Houhai Fishing Village

All day

After breakfast, we will go to Wuzhizhou Island, known as the "Chinese Maldives" (people over 70 years old, pregnant women, and people with mobility difficulties are not allowed to go to the island)

We need to take a ferry to the island, which has a tropical scenery. The underwater world has countless colorful tropical fish and charming coral reefs.

With visibility reaching 27 meters, the island boasts one of the finest white sand beaches in Sanya, making it a "diving hotspot" for both Sanya and the nation. If you enjoy water activities, this is a must-see destination. Enjoy motorboats, banana boats, and parachutes (at your own expense). A leisurely island tour by electric cart is also a pleasant experience (at your own expense). With its coconut breezes, ocean breezes, and azure skies, every corner of the island is breathtakingly beautiful. All you have to do is savor it all.

We returned after playing until we were tired in the afternoon. The small fishing village next to the Wuzhizhou Island Pier is where we will stay tonight - Houhai Fishing Village.

This stretch of Houhai retains its authentic local charm, free from the clamor of tourists. While unassuming among Sanya's many beaches, it remains a truly down-to-earth experience. Houhai Fishing Village offers a simple, beautiful, and relaxing atmosphere, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. Living here feels less like a vacation and more like a way of life, sharing a leisurely pace with the fishermen who originally inhabited this coastline. It's a truly unique experience. Be sure to reserve time to admire the stunning sunset.

Driving time: Sanya to Zhizhou Island, about 45 minutes;

Day 3 Houhai Fishing Village → Nanwan Monkey Island → Shimei Bay → Yalong Bay Accommodation

All day

In the early morning, looking from the beach, you can see a peaceful and tranquil scenery. There is also a unique scenery that cannot be seen in Sanya Bay, Dadonghai and Yalong Bay - the sunrise over the sea. Of course, you can also sleep until you wake up naturally.

After watching the sunrise, we arrived at the Nanwan Monkey Island pier, where numerous boats were docked, and the fishermen's busy day had begun early. As the saying goes, "live by the sea, eat by the sea," here you can fully experience the daily life of fishermen. Here, the 57th ethnic group, the Tanka fishermen, have lived on the sea for generations. Each family plies this small floating town on their fishing boats, creating a spectacular sight. Join us on a boat trip to see the Tanka fish fry, and if you're interested, try the delicious porridge made from porcupine.

After lunch, we took Asia's longest cross-sea cable bridge to Monkey Island (access is by boat on holidays when the area is crowded). From above, we gazed down at the sea and the connected fishing rafts, resembling a sea market. The vastness was indescribable. Nanwan Monkey Island is a rare island macaque nature reserve in the world, home to thousands of adorable little monkeys. You can get up close and personal with these adorable little creatures. However, please note that bringing snacks to the island is not recommended.


We gathered in the afternoon and headed to Nanwan Monkey Island, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side. It consists of two crescent-shaped bays and a six-kilometer-long blue sea and white beach, surrounded by low and gentle slopes with dense vegetation.

We then headed to Fenghuang Jiuli Bookstore, a beautiful bookstore nestled in the seaside. It's also located by the sea, with the vast expanse of Shimei Bay in front and a lush, thousand-year-old vine forest behind. Sitting in the bookstore, you can relax and enjoy the tranquility of reading, the beauty of the mountains and the sea, and the sound of the waves—a common sight here. Enjoying a book here, feeling the sea breeze, is truly satisfying. If you're a literary and artistic person who loves life, don't miss it.

Return to Yalong Bay in the evening and continue to enjoy a peaceful night.

Driving time: Houhai Fishing Village to Nanwan Monkey Island, about 1 hour; Nanwan Monkey Island to Shimei Bay, about 1 hour;

Notes: Things to note when visiting Nanwan Monkey Island:
1. Avoid wearing brightly colored clothing, as the female monkeys can be very jealous and may engage in unsafe behavior.
2. Do not open your bag in front of the monkeys, as they will think you are looking for food. Also, do not leave your bag alone while taking photos, as they may unzip and take things when you are not paying attention.
3. Do not scare the monkeys, yell at them, stamp your feet, or make gestures with your fists, as they may think you are being hostile or even provocative.
4. Do not allow children to interact with the monkeys alone to avoid scratches.
5. There are people selling sunflower seeds in the scenic area. If you want to feed the monkeys, feed them all at once and do not tease them, as they will swarm over you to grab the food.

Day 4 Yalong Bay → Yalong Bay Tropical Forest Park → Transfer to Sanya City/Airport

All day

After breakfast, we'll follow the lead of "If You Are the One 2" and journey to Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park, the filming location for the beautiful romance blockbuster. This is a paradise left on earth by God, filled with a variety of tropical plants, shading the sky, accompanied by the chirping of insects and birds, creating a truly wild and picturesque scene. We'll take the park's electric car to the top of the mountain for a panoramic view of Yalong Bay's stunning coastline. With luck, you might even witness a sea of ​​clouds or mist sweeping across the sea and sky.

In the afternoon, explore Yalong Bay Beach, a place not quite Hawaii, but more like it. The sand here is as white as snow, as soft as cotton, and as fine as flour, fulfilling every beautiful beach fantasy. You can pose for stunning photos on the beach, collect a variety of shells, and with a little luck, spot beautiful coral.

We'll gather at a convenient time and, depending on the tourists' return tickets, we can be dropped off at Sanya Airport or downtown. Today, at 18 degrees north latitude, we kiss goodbye with tears...
