The Real Reality of Traveling to Sanya During the Summer Vacation in June and July

Sanya is often warned against as a trap, with concerns about heavy rain and missed opportunities to see the glass sea. I arrived on the 1st, and despite forecasts of heavy rain, it remained dry. The sky was clear, the sea was azure, but the heat was intense, with a felt temperature around 35 degrees. Days are hot and sunny, so if you're traveling with a baby, make sure to pack high-factor sunscreen. **Hotel Choices:** 1. Budget travelers should consider staying in the [Sanya Bay] area, which is convenient for dining, accommodation, and transportation. 2. For resort hotels, [Yalong Bay] and [Haitang Bay] are popular choices, offering private beaches and privacy. 3. Boutique guesthouses can be found in [Bohou Village], [Tianya Town], and [Houhai Village], all close to the sea. **Travel Tips:** - Early mornings and evenings bring a cool breeze to the seaside, but also a swarm of mosquitoes, so insect repellent is a must. - The sea along Coconut Dream Avenue isn't as clear for swimming or water activities. The coconut groves at "Sanya Bay Wedding Photography Base" and "Haiyue Square" are small but offer a great sunset view. - For a less crowded beach experience, head to [Tianya Town], where the water is clear and the crowds are sparse. - Visit [Nanshan Temple] early in the morning to avoid the crowds climbing the seven floors to touch the Buddha's feet. Dress modestly, as revealing clothing may not be allowed. - [Xiyu Island] and [Wuzhizhou Island] are free if you arrive before June 30th. Xiyu Island's fishing village is picturesque and affordable, while Wuzhizhou Island is better for water activities but pricier. - The night view of [Lu Hu Return] is stunning, but avoid bringing food due to wild monkeys. Drone photography is not permitted. - The [Tropical Forest Park] has great air quality but many steps, making it less suitable for the elderly and children. - [Sun Bay Highway] is for driving only and has a 7-minute parking limit, not ideal for photo-taking. Drones are not allowed. - Recommended restaurants include: - [Babaob Tree Uncle's Centennial Stewed Vinegar] for authentic hotpot and crispy skin roast chicken. - [Qiongye Grandpa's Cool Drink and Ice] for a large portion of fruit ice and fresh coconut milk in cool drinks. - [Qiong Nai's Herbs Duck] for a local Hainan specialty with juicy duck meat, often frequented by locals.
