Accommodation: We stayed at the three-star Universal Island Underwater World Hotel in Yalong Bay, next to the Universal City Hotel. The hotel is very small, consisting of three small four-story buildings with about 6 rooms on each floor. There is a garden in the middle, small and chic. The most suitable place to live is Coral Pavilion, with beautiful coral decorations on each floor. The retail price of a standard room is around 800 yuan. Call the sales department at a price of 480, including breakfast and urban construction fee (breakfast 10 yuan per person per day, urban construction fee in 6 yuan). Non-Christmas, New Year's Day and other holidays should be cheaper. The hotel is about 100 meters away from the beach. Although you can't see the sea in your room, living here, you can enjoy the blue sea and silver sand of Yalong Bay at any time, and you won't feel anything wrong. Compared with the three-star cactus hotel, the location is much superior. Another advantage of living here is that, as an in-house guest, you can enjoy the discount of Underwater World Ocean Project.
Eating: The most inconvenient thing about living in Yalong Bay is eating. There are several options:
1. Dine in the hotel restaurant. Universal Island Underwater World Hotel has a Chinese restaurant, which should be cheaper in Yalong Bay area. Two home-cooked dishes, a plate of fried noodles is more than 60, and the average person is 30 ~ 50 yuan, which is much cheaper than the five-star Universal City Hotel next to it.
2. Seafood stalls. Holiday Inn's food stall on the east side of the beach is a bit expensive.
3. Take a taxi to the city to eat seafood. 168 opposite the garden in spring is quite cheap.
"Spring Garden" is located in Hexi Road, Sanya, close to the city paradise. It's not very lively at noon, but very lively at night.
Ok, there are four modes of transportation:
1, take a taxi. If the airport-hotel: the price is 100 yuan; Hotel-Sanya: 25 yuan; Hotel-Wuzhizhou Wharf: 20 yuan. Every time a taxi driver issues a business card, he wants his guests to charter a car. The reasonable price of chartered car is about 100 yuan/day, but the driver will take the guests to open stores: pearl shop, crystal shop, smuggling shop and so on. Earn some kickbacks.
2, public transportation, there are two kinds of buses in front of the hotel where you usually live: CMB and double-decker tourist bus. CMB can go to downtown Sanya, and double-decker tourist buses can go to Dadonghai and the ends of the earth. Just wait by the side of the road and wave to stop. Take a double-decker tour bus to Dadonghai 5 yuan/person, to Tianya Haijiao 10 yuan/person. On the way to the ends of the earth, you will walk a long way along the seaside road in Sanya Bay, and the scenery is beautiful.
3. Rent two people to ride bicycles. Some hotels 40 yuan/hour, Universal City 50/ hour.
4. Rent a car and drive by car. There is a car rental in the lobby of Universal City. The price of different models is different, but it is limited to 300 kilometers per day. Strangely, there are basically no traffic lights in Sanya, and the cars drive very fast and compete with each other. In view of this, I think driving in a strange place is risky.
Tour:
Praise Wu Zhizhou. Very beautiful, even more beautiful than Yalong Bay, not inferior to Hawaii at all. Looking at the sea under palm trees, swinging in snow-white rocking chairs and swimming in crystal clear water are all enjoyment. Tickets 103 Yuan/person (including 3 yuan Price Adjustment Fund and round-trip ferry). I travel around the island by battery car. In fact, the island is not big, and I can walk around alone. Battery cars have three price points, 20, 60 and 80, depending on the driving distance. There is only one place to take a bath, at the dock. Storage wardrobe 10 yuan/piece, and dilution water is also 10 yuan. Rent a terrace and lounge chair in 20 yuan for 2 hours. You can have a buffet on the island at noon. 20 yuan/person, half price for children, not bad.
According to the locals, you can't see anything while diving on the shore and taking a sightseeing boat, but colorful corals are around you. If you don't take pictures underwater, those people will come to pick you up. Also, there is Mazu Tempel on the island, so you can draw lots, and there are experts around you to cancel your visa for free. But master asked you to invite flowers and incense in an unquestionable tone, and your merits and money were in vain.
It is best to charter a car to Wuzhizhou. Remember to bargain with the taxi driver, or you will suffer.
Tianya Haijiao Park is worth taking photos. Admission 65 yuan/person. We should shoot three stones, namely "Southern Tianzhu", "Tianya" and "Cape". There is a distance from the park gate to these three stones. If you want to save some energy, you can take the battery car back to 10 yuan/person. After coming out, there is a bus at the gate of the park, 3 yuan/person, going to downtown Sanya. When you get on the bus, tell the driver where you want to go and he will stop nearby.
Yalong Bay Beach: As the cruise terminal is being built next to the Underwater World Terminal, the site separates Yalong Bay Beach. The beach in front of the Holiday Inn is crowded with people, all vendors selling shells and pearls. It's quieter in Universal City. The enclosed bathing beach is also better than holidays in Universal City-there are fewer people and the seabed is flatter.
Buy:
Fruit: papaya and mangosteen, as well as sesame and banana. It's in season now. Papaya and sesame bananas in Hainan are especially sweet and delicious. Mangosteen husband thinks the variety is not as good as that of Thailand. The price is about: papaya 1.5 yuan/kg, mangosteen 6 yuan/kg, sesame and banana 3.5 yuan/kg, and the quality is not bad.
Specialty: coconut powder, traditional coconut candy, coconut milk cake. The best coconut powder 10 yuan/bag; Traditional coconut candy 2 yuan/bag, 150g (the airport sold 200g in 20 yuan! ) Coconut cake 3 yuan/bag.
It saves trouble to buy things like this, but there is no chance to compare choices.
Pearl: I bought it on the beach in front of Yalong Bay Holiday Inn. I sat on the beach watching my son play, and the local aunts and grandmothers kept coming forward to lobby me to buy pearl necklaces, bracelets, pendants and earrings. Because of my firm attitude, they took the initiative to lower the price to impress me. Finally, 10 yuan has 4 pearl bracelets, 10 yuan has 5 pearl pendants and 5 red ropes, and 10 yuan has 3 pearl earrings. They swore that it was true, and an aunt scratched the surface of the pearl with a knife for me to see. I don't understand, so cheap, can it be true! After I bought it, another aunt came to lobby me and quoted the price of eight pearl pendants 10 yuan. I don't know if it's because I didn't buy it or because there is too much room for price reduction.
Wear: Wear short-sleeved shorts during the day and trousers after sunset. Neither too cold nor too hot. Very comfortable. Slippers or sandals are best for shoes.
Tips:
1. Accommodation: The ideal accommodation is modular: Wuzhizhou, Yalong Bay and Dadonghai. The first two places are beautiful, and the latter place is convenient for eating and shopping. The combined living style can give consideration to both beauty and convenience.
2. Eat: Don't trust the business cards distributed on the beach! Don't eat seafood stalls in Yalong Bay! If you want to eat seafood, go to the Spring Garden in the city or 168.
3, swimming: it is best to wear goggles to prevent seawater from entering the eyes. People who can't swim don't forget to bring swimming rings, or they will have to pay for them. Children who play with buckets and shovels of sand had better bring their own if they don't want to spend money.
