Sunny Yalong Beach!
Attraction name: Yalong Bay
Location: Sanya, Hainan island.
Yalong Bay is a famous beach area in Sanya. Hilton, Marriott, MGM and many more luxurious hotels are all situated on the beach here.
The best thing about this beach is you CAN swim here. You cannot swim in Haitang Bay but you CAN swim here.
There are a lot of free sun loungers available too for respite from the sun. You can take off your shoes and just enjoy listening to the sea breeze and get in some relaxation time.
Wonderful.

Yalong Bay Rainforest Paradise - take the bus up, but walk down to lose the crowds and enjoy the nature!
Yalong Bay Rainforest Paradise
Take a bus up to the top of the mountain. It's very popular and a bit packed - but the glass bridge is pretty cool and the views to Yalong Bay are great.
I decided to do the hiking trail down the mountain to the Orchid garden. The staff told me you couldn't walk, take a bus! But I persevered and there's a hiking trail down the mountain! You'll be practically the only person doing it! I think I met only two groups of people - one of whom were lost and walked back down again, once I told them it was a 2km climb up! 🤣
The price is about 158rmb for the bus and entrance fees. Other activities are extra - e.g. the glass bridge is another 90! Not cheap! But if you're a few days in the area, it's worth it.

Fantasy Getaway at Yi Sela Homestay (Sanya)
Getting There - It is located in Yalong Bay which was a 30-40 minute ride from the airport. The didi ride costed roughly 70 yuan.
Attractions - It is in a central location and is within walking distance from the famous attractions and sights. Taxi rides are also an option and they are relatively cheap. I opted to rent a bike for 80 yuan per day.
Description: I had the pleasure of staying at the Yi sela Homestay (Yalong Bay branch). It was one of the most mesmerizing getaways that I have experienced thus far. The service is very good and the hotel is reasonably priced. They provide a traditional Chinese breakfast which tastes fairly good. The rooms are clean, the size is good and not to mention the entire hotel is aesthetically pleasing. It is a great spot for the perfect photoshoot. Thanks to the amazing photographer who managed to capture me in all my essence. The location of this gem is a stone’s throw away from all the exciting spots in Yalong bay. You may walk, take taxi or rent a bike/car. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you’re visiting Sanya.

Foodie in Sanya
Try the delicious food at a Hainan Local Restuarant. The seafood is freshly cooked, and you can choose the one you want from the water tank.
I recommend the fried fish and pineapple rice.
Absolutely the best Chinese food I've eaten.
I ate at two different locations in Yalong Bay, at a shopping mall located at the beginning of the street leading to a chain of hotels such as the Sheraton.

Island Vibes
If you visit Sanya and want a great experience, consider staying at the Sheraton Yalong Bay.
You can walk straight onto the beach from the property. Don't want to visit the beach? no problem. They have about four pools. 2 of them are adult pools, one of them heated.
Breakfast had a lot of western options, like pastries, chicken, waffles, cereals, and more.
The only thing was that the room needed updating. The beds were too soft.

Sanya - Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Park
Getting There - You can easily ride a bus that will drop you off few minutes walk from the main entrance. (From Dadonghai area, it took about an hour or so).
Cost - Admission ticket is 108 (not including the bus ticket).
I recommend you buy the ticket called « Rainforest Challenge Tour » that includes all attractions + transportation for 386¥.
Attractions - Beautiful park, glass bridge, suspended bridge, magic cinema, and the slide.
My favorites were the glass bridge and the slide.
The rope bridge was very crowded even though I arrived fairly early.

Sanya Yalong Bay Tropical Forest Park
#staycation #tigeryear2022 #yalongbay #adventure #hikingtrails #glassbridge #ropebridge
While on my vacation in Sanya, I decided to go to the famous Yalong Bay Tropical Forest Park. Upon arrival, I noticed how beautiful the place was. The park was enormous and crowded. The park provided shuttle buses to take us to the different areas. The ride was a memorable one, I felt as though I was on a roller coaster. The bus driver was going so fast and taking sharp turns, everyone was screaming. I went on the rope bridge first and before I got there, I was so exhausted. There were so many stairs. The view from the bridge was rather breathtaking. I am afraid of heightened, so I’m not going to lie, I was pretty scared, but I made it across. Next, I went on the glass bridge; it was my first experience and I loved everything about it; it was beautiful. I was only able to complete two tasks, I was too tired to do anything else, after all that hiking. I was able to find an area to have lunch, as well as to have a refreshing coconut. I continued to tour the place, and found stalls: from these stalls you could purchase souvenirs. There was an entire section for food vendors, so you have a lot of option for lunch. I was able to capture these beautiful pictures from standing on the bridges.
A villa apartment worthy of relaxation

Beach 🏖 and Golf ⛳️ Sheraton Yalong Bay
This hotel checked a lot of the boxes for us. Location wise it’s convenient to the restaurants and shops (10min walk to the Central Square) the hotel is right by the sandy beach, and the Yalong Bay Golf Club is across the street. We wanted an easy trip without any ‘work’ 😂 so this place made our stay 👌. Our room was spacious and the ocean view was definitely worth it. Even though it was vacation season (we went mid July) was not crowded at all, plenty of room in all the facilities and quick check in and out.

Rope Bridge Thrill in Yalong Bay 🌁🪢🏞
Another adrenaline boost experience unleashing fantastic views is the rope bridge at Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Park. If you don’t want to walk all the way to the bridge, you can pay extra for the mini shuttle busses driving tourists up and down through the park together with the entrance ticket. The access to the rope bridge is only 20¥. There’s a little shop selling drinks and ice cream next to the ticket office. The rope bridge was a thrill! 😅🫣😎 It looks scary at first, but once you buckle up with adrenaline, you go for it! I did feel super scared during my walk as it was very windy up there and the bridge feels unstable with the wind 🙈 BUT the view was worth it: the mountains, the fields, the beach and the sea all in frame 🖼 ✨
⚠️Tip: If you’re wearing a hat, please make sure to press it firmly against your head if you don’t want to see it flying away and get stuck with the other blown away hats in the forest under the bridge!!! 🙊

Sheraton Sanya Yalong Bay 🥥🌴☀️
There is a stretch of beach in Yalong Bay which hosts all the well-known five star hotels such as: the Ritz Carlton, MGM, St Regis, Hilton, Marriott and Sheraton.
If you are comparing the outdoor facilities, they are all very similar. Large outdoor pools, beach access and beautiful gardens. Which every hotel you choose you are going to have an amazing stay! However, for those looking to save a little money, we can highly recommend the Sheraton. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is by far the cheapest out of these resorts. The rooms may be a little older, but this resort is very well maintained and the outdoor areas and pools give it a real tropical island vibe!
We will definitely be back!

Yalong Beach Sanya 🏖
I hired a scooter for my stay in Sanya. I chose to stay at Yalong Bay as it’s rated as one of the best beaches in Sanya. The beach was about a ten minute ride from my homestay. I parked the bike and made my way down to the beach. It wasn’t too packed. The beach was beautiful and so was the sand. There were a few stalls along the beach selling snacks, swimwear and water sport tickets. I got myself a refreshing coconut, got cozy on my beach chair and just soaked all the goodness around me in. Water sport options include snorkeling, diving, the banana boat and sailing. I chose to jet ski which was an awesome experience. And I was able to gets lots of great selfies. People say Yalong Beach is expensive but I think it’s okay and worth the spend if what you are really looking for is a beautiful beach. The beach also comes alive at night with dancing, drinking, eating and people having a great time. I ended up spending most of my days at this particular beach because I just couldn’t get enough!Go to Sanya, go to Yalong Beach! #sanya #yalongbay #coconut #beachlife #china 🏝 🥥 🌊 💕
Magical Sunsets at the beach, Sanya
If you’re a sunset lover, sunsets at the beach in Sanya won’t fail to make you fall in love with the island. I was at Yalong Bay’s public beach during the sunset for two consecutive days and each time was a pure bliss! 🥰 Just sit and admire the sky while the melody of the waves rejuvenates you 🧡🌅🌊#beachlife #sanyatravel#sanya#yalongbay#hainan#islandtravel#islandlife#islandlover#islandgirl
b*ach life in Sanya 🏝
We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day; and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us. Even while the earth sleeps we travel. We are the seeds of the tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind and are scattered.
- Kahlil Gibran
Some moments from a very fruitful trip in Sanya. We experienced some lovely hotels and hospitality, fun beach bars, lazed around in the middle of the ocean 🌊 and basked in the scorching sun ☀️
Recommendations: going to yalong bay and buying a huge floaty to chill in the ocean.
- going to the Marriot hotel by dadonhai for their 3 hour buffet. #yalongbay#sanya #china #beachlife #funinthesun #sanyabay #hainan
