Pack your bags and head to Sanya for a girls' trip!

5 Days of Wild Fun in Sanya with Your Besties! Must-Visit Spots + Food Guide || Just returned from Sanya with sun-kissed arms and a heart full of joy, I stayed up all night compiling this "Attraction Recommendations + Food Guide" based on firsthand experiences with my BFFs🥰

📷 Must-Visit Spots in Sanya
🌅 Coconut Dream Corridor
Best time to visit: After 5 PM!!
When the sunset paints the sea orange🍊, every shot looks like a movie still!! We rented a tandem bike (¥20/hour) and hummed "To Dali" while riding, only for the sea breeze to blow off our hair extensions🌚. Bring a light-colored scarf—draping it over your shoulders for a side-profile shot adds major vibes~
Hidden gem: Look for grannies selling seashell🐚 wind chimes (¥15/each) on the beach. Use one as a prop for a "listening to the ocean" close-up with your BFF—our WeChat Moments blew up with requests for the link!

🏠 Tianya Town
✅ Blue-and-white sloped streets: Have your BFF shoot from above while you wear a bright sundress👗 (yellow recommended!). Capture the dress fluttering mid-movement to instantly become a "runaway Sanya princess"~
✅ Seaside café terrace: Order two coconut smoothies and pretend to clink glasses while chatting. Have the photographer crouch at a 45-degree angle for legs that look 2.8 meters long!
Warning: Skip the heels!! The cobblestone roads are so uneven we saw someone in stilettos face-plant into flower bushes—too tragic😂

👍 Nanshan Temple
Highlights:
✅ 108-meter-tall Guanyin Statue: Rent an audio guide (¥30)! Hearing the story of the "Three-Faced Guanyin" as you approach is genuinely moving. We took a back-view photo at the statue’s feet, hands clasped, wishing for "wealth + love"~
✅ Vegetarian restaurant: Try the "Lucky Trio"—three unique tofu dishes.
Photo tip: The coconut grove🌴 to the left of the statue is perfect for zen-style shots! Place your phone on the ground for a low-angle shot with palm trees and sky as the backdrop—next-level aesthetics~

🌠 Tianya Haijiao (End of the Earth)
Getting a shot with the iconic rocks is all about "squeezing through gaps"! Head straight to the beach to the right of the "Tianya Stone"—fewer crowds and plenty of reefs. Pick up a seashell as a "ring" and take goofy photos "exchanging rings" with your BFF—we laughed till our stomachs hurt~
Bonus: Tianya ice cream (¥25)!! Go for coconut flavor—posing with the rocks makes for a ritualistic shot.

🦞 Food Recs
1. Uncle Coconut’s Zuopocu & Coconut Chicken Hot Pot
Their dual-flavor hot pot is legendary!! The left side’s tangy zuopocu broth cooks seafood instantly (shrimp balls🦐 are a must), while the right side’s fresh coconut water simmers Wenchang chicken—so sweet we wanted to take the broth home!

2. Qiong’s Fragrant Herb Duck
The duck is fall-off-the-bone tender. The waiter said the ducks grew up eating herbs, fish🐟, and shrimp🦐, paired with a secret sauce that gets better with each bite. "This duck lived a more refined life than me," we joked.

3. Qiong Ye’s Coconut Ice & Qingbuliang
Their "family feast" qingbuliang piles taro balls, sago, red beans, and coconut jelly into a mountain, drenched in fresh coconut milk—filling enough for a meal. Don’t miss the mango🥭 shaved ice—blended with real fruit, every bite bursts with flavor. We raced here daily after sightseeing~
