Day-by-day itinerary每日行程
D1Arrive in Sanya
Private transfer from Phoenix Airport to your beachfront hotel in Yalong Bay (or Haitang Bay). Enjoy free beach time in the afternoon: swim, build sandcastles, and lounge as you watch the sunset—Yalong Bay's 7km stretch of pristine sand and clear waters makes for the perfect introduction to tropical relaxation. Stroll along the beach path at dusk. Dinner recommendation: Qingbuliang (tropical dessert soup) and coconut chicken hotpot. Practical tips: Apply SPF50+ sunscreen throughout your stay; bring quick-dry clothing for tomorrow's rainforest adventure—water shoes and helmets will be provided on-site. Accommodation: Yalong Bay.
D2Yannoda Rainforest Adventure
Morning drive to Yannoda Rainforest Cultural Zone (Baoting County, 5A-rated): Begin with waterfall trekking—wear water shoes and helmet as you follow the stream up Dream Valley for about 1.5 hours, with guides ensuring your safety during waterfall showers and vine ladder climbs. Lunch at the rainforest lodge buffet or herbal medicinal meal. Afternoon explore the Rainforest Valley boardwalk: discover tropical wonders like strangler figs, buttress roots, and aerial flower baskets, and take your time at the orchid cottage and viewing platforms (approx. 2.5 hours). Return to Sanya in the evening. Practical tips: The waterfall trek is not suitable for children under 6 or pregnant women; protect your electronics with waterproof cases or leave them at the hotel. Accommodation: Yalong Bay.
D3Nanshan · Tianya Haijiao
Morning at Nanshan Cultural Zone: Marvel at the 108m Guanyin statue standing in the South China Sea, explore the Golden Jade Guanyin Pavilion and Longevity Valley (approx. 3 hours), then enjoy a vegetarian buffet lunch. Afternoon at Tianya Haijiao—wander among the inscribed boulders and coconut-lined pathways from the Qing Dynasty (approx. 2 hours). Look for the 'Southern Sky Pillar' and 'Sea Judgment of Southern Sky' rock inscriptions, especially beautiful at sunset. Dinner: Danjia seafood hotpot (traditional fisherfolk style). Practical tips: Electric carts within the scenic areas are included; maintain quiet and respectful behavior near the statue; your guide will arrange your Tianya Haijiao visit to avoid evening crowds. Accommodation: Yalong Bay.
D4Yalong Bay Forest Park · Rose Valley or Duty-Free City
Morning at Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park: Cross the Dragon Crossing River Suspension Bridge and enjoy panoramic views from the Thousand Umbrella Viewing Platform (approx. 3 hours). Afternoon choose one option: visit Yalong Bay International Rose Valley to see hundreds of acres of rose fields (best Nov-Apr), or explore Haitang Bay Duty-Free City for shopping (pickup at airport with departure flight ticket). Dinner at your leisure in the bay area. Practical tips: If you're afraid of heights, use the walking path instead of the suspension bridge; shoppers must be 16 or older for duty-free purchases. Today's schedule is light, so feel free to spend the afternoon at the beach. Accommodation: Yalong Bay.
D5First Market · Airport Transfer
Morning stroll along the Dadonghai seaside promenade. Midday at the First Market: select fresh seafood on the ground floor and have it cooked on the second floor. Focus on live catches—seasonal favorites include Hainanese swimming crabs and scallops. Your guide will help you check weights to avoid overcharging. Cooking fees are extra (approx. $2-4 per pound), followed by coconut rice to complete your meal. Afternoon transfer to Phoenix Airport based on your flight schedule. Practical tips: Collect your duty-free purchases at the airport security area; consider booking flights after 3:00 PM. Recommended souvenirs: coconut products and pepper.
