Sanya, this tropical paradise is so captivating! In just 5 days, I visited 10+ attractions, and getting 3 shades darker was totally worth it 😆 What surprised me the most was the heavenly Dadongtian Scenic Area~

💕 Recommended Must-Visit Attractions:
📍 Dadongtian Scenic Area
If you come to Sanya and don't visit Dadongtian, it's like you haven't been here at all! It boasts a stunning coconut grove coastline and unique reef landscapes, with beautiful photo spots everywhere.
🕒 Suggested Playtime: 3-4 hours
💰 Ticket Price: Low season 90 RMB / Peak season 130 RMB
🌟 Practical Tips:
1️⃣ Be sure to wear comfortable sandals; be careful when walking in the reef areas.
2️⃣ Bring a parasol + sunscreen; the UV rays by the sea are very strong.
3️⃣ The best time for photos is 4-6 PM, when the light is softest.

📍 Xiaodongtian
It's the essence of Dadongtian! This naturally formed sea cave is super cool inside, and you can capture stunning sea view silhouettes.
🚌 Transportation: About a 50-minute taxi ride from Sanya city center, around 100 RMB.
📸 Must-Take Angles:
✔️ Upward-angle silhouette at the cave entrance
✔️ Back shot standing on the reef
✔️ Photo with the iconic "Cactus"

🍴 Nearby Food Recommendations:
🐠 Xiaodongtian Seafood Stall (right at the scenic area entrance)
Must-order: Steamed Grouper, Salt and Pepper Mantis Shrimp
Average spend per person: Around 150 RMB

🏨 Accommodation Recommendation:
Recommended to stay near Yalong Bay. I recommend MGM Grand Sanya Yalong Bay, which is only a 30-minute drive to Dadongtian, and the hotel's private beach is amazing!

🚗 Transportation Guide:
Sanya's attractions are relatively spread out, so renting a car for self-driving is the most convenient. Alternatively, it's easy to hail a car using Didi.

📌 Practical Advice:
1️⃣ Be sure to check the tide times in advance; you can only see the most beautiful reef landscapes at low tide.
2️⃣ There are electric shuttle carts available in the scenic area, but walking actually allows you to discover more beautiful sights.
3️⃣ Remember to bring mosquito repellent; there are quite a few mosquitoes by the sea.
