Go to Sanya, Hainan to escape the cold and save money during the Spring Festival

This winter is extremely cold. Even in Guangzhou, known as the "Flower City", handsome guys and beauties on the street are hiding in thick down jackets, with hats and scarves under their headbands. Across the country, the warmest place is Sanya, Hainan. With the release of "If You Are the One 2", the beautiful scenery in the movie has increased everyone's yearning for Sanya. But the Spring Festival is approaching, which is the most expensive time for hotels in Sanya, Hainan.

Strategy 1: Book your tickets in advance, and buying tickets online is the most cost-effective.

The transportation in Sanya is very convenient. You can reach Sanya by plane, train or car. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other cities have opened trains to Sanya. Those who are not suitable for flying can choose train. To come to Sanya by road, you need to take the Yuehai No. 1 across the Qiongzhou Strait to Haikou. From Haikou, you can reach Sanya along a highway of about 300 kilometers. On the road, you can feel the joy of pressing the accelerator to the bottom. There are no toll booths on Hainan's expressways.

Finally, let’s focus on airplanes. If you have a travel plan for a friend who wants to fly to Sanya, how to get the best air ticket:

1. Booking air tickets online can save a lot of money. The official websites of major airlines, NetEase, and Taobao all provide convenient and fast ticket inquiries, and you can get low-price discounts by searching diligently.

2. It is best to book your tickets one month in advance so that you can get the best price from the airline.

3. Consult several major local ticket offices, because sometimes each one offers different discounts.

4. It is best to book round-trip air tickets according to your own travel time, so that you can apply for better discounts.

5. The departure time and arrival time of flights are different, and the prices of air tickets also vary greatly, so friends who want to get the lowest fare should not ignore this aspect!

6. You can also find a local travel agency to help you issue tickets, because travel agencies can sometimes get the lowest air ticket prices.

Strategy 2: Staying in a family hotel has advantages.

Accommodation depends on each individual’s requirements and standards. The most expensive place in Sanya is the Yalong Bay Hotel, and the cheapest place is the family hotel. Of course, prices vary widely. It is recommended that you book in advance before departure. When booking, please note whether the room price includes Shuangzao and Hainan funds. Everyone pays for the money here. It’s 11 yuan a night and no one should be there. So, if you don't tell us in advance whether you can pay for the room and whether you can live in Sanya, you still have to pay this money, which is a lot of money. There is also breakfast. Different hotels in Hainan and inland areas include breakfast, but some hotels in Hainan do not include breakfast, so when you see some deviations in room prices, be sure to confirm the above two points before considering whether the prices are the same!

Which family hotel in Sanya is the most affordable?

The family hotels in Sanya are mainly located in Sanya Bay, Dadonghai, and Jiefang Road. The standard room price is usually 50-250 yuan/room per day, and the holiday price is 1.5-3 times the usual price.

Sanya family hotels are concentrated in three places.

With the rise of tourism, family hotels in Sanya have mushroomed in recent years, with nearly 300 registered family hotels. Family hotels in Sanya are mainly located in Sanya Bay, Dadonghai, and Jiefang Road. Of course, there are hotels on Fenghuang Road and Yingbin Road, but the number is relatively small.

Most of Sanya’s family hotels are located in residential areas. In Sanya Bay, from Sanya Bay Road Phoenix Island to Blue Ocean Phase 3, there are a large number of family hotels in the residential areas, with no less than 20 residential areas along the line.

In addition, there are Youyi Road, Jixiang Road, Tuanjie Road and other streets between Sanyawan Road and Jiefang Road. These roads also have a large number of family hotels. After entering Jiefang Road, family hotels are mainly concentrated at No. 3 Jiefang Road and No. 4 Jiefang Road. Dadonghai is also one of the gathering areas for family hotels. Because it is close to Dadonghai Scenic Area, it is very popular among tourists.

In addition to the urban area, there are also family hotels in Fenghuang Town and Tiandu Town around Sanya, which are cheaper than the urban area.

There are also five-star family hotels.

Generally speaking, the price of standard rooms in Sanya family hotels is between 50-250 yuan/room/day, and the price of suites is between 150-500 yuan. Holiday prices are 1.5-3 times higher than usual.

There are many factors that determine the price of a family hotel. One of them is the infrastructure of the community. For example, high-end communities such as Blue Ocean Garden in Sanya Bay are equipped with gyms, tennis courts, swimming pools and other facilities. Moreover, the facilities of family hotels are also personalized, such as two bedrooms and one living room, three bedrooms and two living rooms, four bedrooms and two living rooms, and of course one bedroom and one living room or single room, in addition to air conditioning and beds.

Personalization is not only reflected in facilities, but also in supporting services. Local family hotels are quite unique. They not only provide hotel services such as food delivery, fax, photocopying, and ticket booking, but also provide services such as bicycles, tennis, badminton, and PHS rental. By staying at this family hotel, you can not only enjoy facilities such as community gyms and swimming pools, but also enjoy preferential transportation and tickets to Sanya attractions.

In terms of marketing, Sanya’s family hotels are also outstanding. Many family hotels have their own websites, and users can purchase rooms through Taobao after browsing the website; some operators post the experiences of old customers staying in the hotel and rely on word-of-mouth promotion.

In addition, don’t think that the word “family” in a family hotel means low price. Not really. Although most B&Bs are inexpensive, some B&Bs located in luxury residential areas can be priced at the price of a five-star hotel. The reporter consulted a family hotel in Sanya Bay, and the price was as high as 600 yuan a night. This is a honeymoon room with nearly 60 square meters of luxurious facilities and warm and exquisite decoration. The pink circular waterbed is 2 meters in diameter. Sitting on the edge of the bed, you can have a panoramic view of Sanya Bay.

There are also tips for booking a family hotel.

Passenger flow surges during the Golden Week, when demand for rooms will exceed supply, and reservations need to be made 15-25 days in advance. Our family hotel in Sanya has no other charges except room fee. If you want to use the kitchen, telephone, swimming pool, tennis court, etc., there will be additional charges. The charging standard depends on the specific situation of each family hotel. Some have free services when booking a room. You should learn more about, check, and consult on this issue when you book a room and check in. Although the money is not much, it sometimes affects the originally happy holiday mood.

It is worth noting that there are still many unlicensed family hotels operating in Sanya, which neither have a license nor have passed relevant fire inspections. Therefore, tourists should check whether they have relevant licenses before checking in to avoid difficulties in safeguarding their rights after an emergency.

Strategy: Go to the local seafood market to buy seafood.

As the saying goes, "Food is the most important thing for the people", and you cannot ignore this when you are away from home. Only when you eat well can you have the energy to play. Now I will tell you the food map.

When it comes to eating seafood, there is probably no better place in the country than Hainan. There are many varieties, authentic, delicious and fresh. There are seafood restaurants all along the coast of Hainan. For a little money you can taste many kinds of seafood.

There are two cheaper places to eat seafood in Sanya: Chunyuan Seafood Plaza near City Paradise and Foreign Trade Road Seafood Plaza. These two places are now bought and processed. They turned out to be places where locals in Sanya eat seafood.

However, don’t forget that seafood is easy to cause irritation and some people are allergic to it, so don’t eat too much, as it will leave you with endless aftertaste.

But there are many motorcycles soliciting customers on the roadsides and seaside in Sanya. They will tell you to take a car to eat seafood for 1 yuan. Seafood is very cheap, 3 pieces of shrimp and 5 pieces of crab. These people are all liars. They usually let you order one or two super expensive fish or other seafood according to their requirements, and then you order 3 pieces of shrimp and 5 pieces of crab. This meal costs more than 500 yuan anyway, so be careful. The best.

Red fish steak

You must eat seafood when you go to Sanya, it is rich in variety and fresh. The best freshness, however, is the fish fillet from the sea. All the seafood here never leaves the sea, but is separated into a cage composed of wooden boards, foam, and fishing nets for tourists to choose.

These fish rafts built on the sea, in addition to processing seafood, are also residences for local fishermen and shopkeepers. The most gloating scene is when the guarding hound barks excessively, stumbles into the water, climbs back onto the fish raft, and runs away with his tail between his legs, laughing.

The interesting and charming life of a fisherman.

Fishing Port Morning Market

"Sanya Port in the Morning" is not lyrical music, not saxophone, but Chinese rock music. At dawn, the sound of roaring motors boiled happily on the sea surface, and the fully loaded fishing boats began to approach Hong Kong from the deep sea.

The fish market is on the shore, with many fish and many people. There are fish unloading, fish selection, fish wholesale, bidding, negotiation, and trading. At a glance, you can see piles of fishermen, baskets of all kinds of sea fish, rows of large and small fishing boats, and the boiling noise, forming a moving picture of the people of Sanya.

Hainan noodles

Hainan noodles are made from rice noodles and more than a dozen unique seasonings. On the basis of inheriting the traditional pickling method, the current Hainanese noodles have absorbed foreign culture, and the taste is much better than before. Eating Hainan noodles has become one of the great pleasures of Haikou people’s nightlife. Stalls selling Hainan noodle business are all over Haikou, such as Haixiu Avenue, Ximen Market, Nanmen Market, Yilong Street, Datongli Village, Langyue New Village, etc.

Vegetarian

Nanshan is a famous longevity area in China. "Longevity wins Nanshan" is an auspicious saying that has been passed down through the ages. Returning to nature, simplicity and longevity are people’s pursuits, and the light, delicious and distinctive Nanshan Vegetarian Restaurant just meets people’s needs in this regard. At Nansan’s vegetarian restaurant, you can taste more than 20 delicious vegetarian dishes for only 30 yuan!

Game

There are seafood and delicacies. In the hinterland of Wuzhishan, you can eat all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas. Such as Wuzhishan bison meat, river eels, five-legged pigs, Ganoderma lucidum mountain crabs, small snails, water-filled anchovies, Wuzhishan longevity fish, Wuzhishan ant chicken, farmyard goose, etc. At the same time, Wuzhishan is also rich in more than ten kinds of wild vegetables, such as revolutionary cabbage, cauliflower, bride cabbage, bitter cabbage, tripterygium root, green beans, gougougou cabbage, etc. They are all natural green foods.

Tianya Haijiao

Strategy 4: Classics are not to be missed, authentic scenery is boring.

Tianya Haijiao

It is located 23 kilometers away from the western suburbs of Sanya, facing Maling Mountain and facing the vast sea. Hundreds of large and small stones stand on the beach of the bay. Among them, the boulders of "Tianya", "Haijiao" and "Southern Sky Pillar" stand out, holding their heads high and majestic. Historically, the word "Tianya" was inscribed by Cheng Zhe, the magistrate of Yazhou Zhou during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. It was carved on a huge stone about 10 meters high. (Under the rock, there are three poems by Guo Moruo chanting "Tianya Haijiao".) On the top of a sharp stone on the right side of Tianya is the word " Haijiao" engraved on it. It is said to have been inscribed by a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. These two huge rocks are commonly known as "End of the World". A few hundred meters to the left of "Tianya" Mok, there is a tall and independent cone-shaped boulder. This is the wonder of "Southern Sky Pillar". It was possible that it would be independent of the South. Nowadays, unique garden-style buildings and Tianya Shopping Village have been built here, and a number of marine entertainment projects have also been launched. Tourists can enjoy themselves in the sea by motorboat. Tianya Haijiao is located on a hillside and is being developed into a natural scenery roaming area. Many statues of historical celebrities related to Sanya will stand here.

Sanya Old Street

If you have been to Yacheng, you will believe that Sanya is a place with a long history. The remaining dwellings here bear the baptism of thousands of years of history. Even though the history of Duan Tianya's exile is always the same, except for Yacheng, there are few such old streets in Sanya.

In an alley called Dazhong Street, a simple picture of life deeply moved us. The little girl coming home from school was sitting on the back seat of her mother’s bicycle, wearing a Bougainvillea walked through the old street, and what came into our lens were her real eyes that day. I am used to taking photos of the seaside, and this unexpected small street scene suddenly moved me.

Tropical Market

As we all know, Sanya is a tourist city. But agriculture is still the primary industry in Sanya, and the pleasant climate has created this natural greenhouse. Sanya's fruits, vegetables, and rice are exported to China and abroad and are world-famous. They are also a must-have for some people to pack before departure.

Sanya’s melons and fruits are fragrant all year round, and the system is developed and managed. Walking into Sanya's market, you will be greeted by a harvest scene that demonstrates the unique charm of Sanya's products, which is very moving.

Elf Egret

Egrets are naturally beautiful and slender. They look aloof and aloof, but are actually weak and happy. Hold your head high and enter the blue clouds, lean down and kiss the lake, everything will be forgiven, leave your graceful figure to the sky, and record eternity with a graceful trajectory.

The Egret Park surrounded by the Sanya River lives up to its name, where the egret shines with her agility.

Walking by the river, I felt the elf's temperament with my heart. I couldn't bear to disturb her and kept her in my heart silently. With the past, the real beauty is what is not forgotten.

In the Twilight City, year after year, after crossing many barriers, the vast sky in front of me is where my heart belongs. The beautiful elf hovers here leisurely, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, again and again, dedicating her beauty to the land that carries her life.

This land is called Sanya, and this spirit is called Egret.

The pure Sanya and the egrets complement each other, the city embraces her, and her beauty decorates the city. Egrets live on the edge of the city and play an important role in nature and civilization, depicting the beauty of Sanya's city and nature.

East China Sea

It is located between Tuwei Mountain and Luhuitou Mountain, 3 kilometers away from Sanya. The water surface is a crescent-shaped beach, and the vast sea is to the south. It is spring-like all year round and the scenery is charming. Green leaves, sunshine, clear water and sandy beaches form a wonderful tropical scenery. In winter, the water temperature is around 18-22°C, making it a great place for winter swimming.

Dadonghai was rated as one of China’s “Top 40” tourist attractions, and Dadonghai Tourism Center was awarded the 1993 International Best Tourism Gold Cup by the French Committee. There are a number of high-end foreign-related hotels in the Dadonghai tourist area, forming a number of high-end foreign-related resort hotels.

At present, Dadonghai is a seaside resort with relatively complete facilities in Hainan Province and a large-scale tourist resort. Dadonghai is the most famous tourist attraction in Sanya. Nearby tourist attractions include Luhuitou Park and Luhuitou Style Park.

Wuzhizhou

Wuzhizhou

The name of this island is very strange. In fact, Five Fingers is a rare marine crustacean reptile. The waters around Wuzhizhou are rich in noctilucent snails, sea cucumbers, lobsters, soft-shell turtles, pomfret, sea urchins and sea spines. Fishing here must be very rewarding. This used to be a military restricted area, so the environment was not damaged. Zhou Haihai is extremely well-known. Sitting on a floating boat, you can catch a glimpse of colorful tropical fish in the water twenty to thirty meters deep. Wuzhizhou is a kingdom of animals and plants, with flocks of wild sheep and pheasants. Coconuts are the largest plant family on the island, especially raffia, one of which has a faint aroma of wine. Because there are too many coconut trees, many mature coconuts will fall by themselves every day, so don't stand under the coconut trees. It is a must-see attraction in Sanya, Wuzhizhou, which can leave you with wonderful memories of your trip to Sanya.

Tactic 5: Remember to bargain as much as possible when shopping.

Large shopping mall

It is said that the most famous shopping street in Sanya is the pedestrian street, but this place is mainly for foreign guests, so if you want to buy something to take back, it is best to go there Take a walk here. You must discount the price of something you like by more than half, otherwise you will end up with a big head. I recommend just choosing some small pieces if you like.

In addition, I would like to remind you that there will be many women carrying baskets at the beach to buy pearl and conch scarves. I suggest you don't answer them. All the pearls they sell are fake. All pearls are made from shell powder through molds, and the red coral is dyed. And corals cannot be taken on board the plane at Sanya Airport. If you exceed a certain amount, Sanya security will ask you to drink coffee and you will not be able to leave. It is recommended that you do not buy these things.

About the types of specialty products:

Dried seafood: When it comes to buying dried seafood and economic benefits, you can go to the Honggang Wholesale Market on Shengli Road.
