The Ultimate 5-Day 4-Night Sanya Travel Guide

The Ultimate 5-Day 4-Night Hainan Adventure! A Super Detailed Type J Traveler's Full Record🏝|||This trip covered two amazing destinations—Sanya and Wuzhishan City. We captured stunning beach photos and experienced the pristine beauty of tropical rainforests. Absolutely perfect!

DAY1:
🛬 Shanghai to Sanya, arrived at 14:00
🏠 Stayed at Haiyun Hotel, conveniently close to several photo spots! The hotel entrance has many shared e-bikes, perfect for riding along Coconut Dream Corridor, stopping and snapping photos along the way. From west to east, you can hit all the spots in order!
📷1: Haibo 13th Lane—tons of beautiful seashells
📷2: Sanya Bay Parking Lot 16, with free beach chairs
📷3: Opposite Haiyun Hotel, super photogenic grassy area
📷4: Beautiful New Coastline, for the most stunning sunset
🥘 Dinner: Qiongzhou Fermented Hot Pot (modified version, more suited to non-locals' tastes—delicious!)

DAY2:
🚗 Rented a car from Sanya to Wuzhishan, arrived at Red Canyon Rafting around 14:00. Tickets are cheaper online—168 RMB/person. The 5km waterway takes about 2+ hours to complete, totally worth it! Bring your own water shoes to avoid renting.
🥗 Dinner: Zijia Ren Restaurant (so good we ate here two days in a row! Fried fish, five-toe pork, and wild mountain veggies were all amazing!)
🏠 Stayed at Wuzhishan Yujing Hotel or Yatai Rainforest Hotel

DAY3:
⛰️ Wuzhishan Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area
This is the famous spot for hiking! Arrive at the entrance by 9 AM. Bring at least 1.5L of water per person. Our round-trip hike took about 8 hours, and we only reached the first peak. Those with more stamina can continue to the second peak.

DAY4:
🚗 Wuzhishan back to Sanya
🌴 Visited the classic landmark—Tianya Haijiao (Edge of the Sky & Corner of the Sea)! The scenery here is very different from Coconut Dream Corridor, with lots of rocks and another breathtaking sunset.
🦪 Evening at First Market Night Market: buy your own seafood and have it cooked at a restaurant. We chose 📌 Sister Hong Seafood—great flavors and reasonable processing fees.

DAY5:
🛫 Returned home in the morning. Wuzhizhou Island and Yalong Bay/Sun Bay will have to wait for next time~
