💡 Tips

  • Visit Luhuitou Park just before sunset for the best panoramic views of Sanya city.
  • Use the 'Didi' app for ride-hailing to ensure fixed prices and avoid language barriers.
  • Wear UV-protective clothing instead of just sunscreen; the Hainan sun is exceptionally strong.
  • Explore the Bohou Village Night Market for a more local and less touristy experience.
  • Avoid Yalong Bay beach during midday when it is most crowded and the sun is at its peak.
