I would like to spend a couple of weeks in Sanya in November. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to hire a motorbike/scooter in Sanya. If so where from and how much does it cost?

Hi, my family and I are planning to take a few days vacation in Sanya at the end of August. The hotel descriptions aren't very clear as to how far the beaches are. Can anyone tell me how far the beach is from the Crowne Plaza Hotel or the Holiday Inn Hotel in Yalong Bay?

The Holiday Inn at Sanya bay says it has a beach front, is this beach good, or should I stick to Yalong Bay?

Thanks.

Hello VT’ers

We are thinking of Sanya for one month from mid October-mid November.
Can anybody tell me if the weather is good then or should we move the dates back or forward a few weeks.
When is the busiest time for tourists, is there a time we should try and avoid?

Also can anybody recommend a 3* or 4* hotel as we have no idea where is good/safe to stay?

Thanks

I trying to fly to Sanya from either Zhu Hai or Macau and cannot locate an airline that flies direct - does anybody know of one?

I am traveling to Sanya, China soon for a business conference. I will be staying at the Hilton Resort. I am wondering if anyone knows what type of electrical connections I can expect there? 110? 220? What type of plugs?
Thanks for your help.

I want to flight on the 6th or 7th of january from bejing to sanya. We would like to spent there 10 days until the 17th of january. I have checked elong already, is there an other (cheaper) opportunity. I am already in dalian, china. Do you recommend to visit a chinese travel agency in dalian (a local can join me, so the language should be not a problem)

Hi - we'll be coming to Sanya for one day on a cruise ship. We'd like to tour on our own. Will we find transporation at the pier or can we make arrangements before we arrive? Also, what should we see? Thanks.

Hi! I'm a US citizen trying to travel on my own to Sanya. I heard that there might be visa on arrival available, as long as I don't go to any other location in China other than Sanya. Is this true ? Appreciate your help !

I'm thinking of staying in the newly built Kempinski Hotel this Christmas. But since the hotel doesn't provide any shuttle bus service, does any one know if there's any public bus running to and from the Kempinski Hotel area to downtown of Sanya and to Dai Dong Hai Bay also (cos I want to go to the 'Spring Garden' seafood market for meals)? May I know the bus no. and is it running frequently? Is the bus stop near the Hotel? And is the same bus no. going back to Kempinski Hotel area also? Where should I take it when I am in downtown?

Besides, any good massage centre (traditional chinese massage and not spa)in downtown also? What's the name and how do they charge? Many thanks!

Hi,
Any friends out there know a good travel guide or companion in Sanya that know all the exciting places for night life sport fishing and diving.
Thanks in advance

thank you

Hi everyone,

I am looking into Sanya for a weekend getaway in 2 week's time..
What's the weather like these days though, it's rainy in HK so I'm worried it will be quite similar in Sanya as well.....?
I don't mind cloudy but rainy is no good as we won't be able to sit by the pool at all!

Thanks!

This may sound a bit cheeky but I am just wondering How difficult will it be for english speaking people on holiday to be understtod outwith their hotels as I have read that mandarin is the only language spoken in shops , restaurants and taxis.
Hope somebody can help
Thanks

Dear all

we are considering sanya for the chinise may break. we have two three year olds.. we currently live in shanghai and we are orginally from the uk (south wales)

our dilemer is that so far we have been offered 5 star hotels.. this should be adequate facilities etc but normaally if we were in europe we would never stay at 5 star hotels with kids - too posh.. (and the meals too expensive).. so.

can anyone recommend some 3/4 star options and options that would be suitable for kids.?
my son has just learned to swim and underwater., how clear are the seas /beaches and is the water still or does it have waves.. in otherwords will he be able to see fish under the water from the beach without a trip?

Hi
We are visiting The Horizon Resort in Yalong Bay from 16th September for two weeks I know there is some rainfall yet the travel agent says it may rain only at night?
Has anyone been around this time, I would hate not to be able to make the most of the beautiful beaches.
Also any must do's or not do's.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I'd like to go to Sanya in mid April and I would like to know what is the cheapest flight tickets price from shanghai - sanya?
Cheapest I found for round trip is 2500 RMB, which is still expensive in my opinion..

Or do you know a good travel agency in Shanghai or where I can find good deals?

Thanks in advance.

I am looking at visiting Sanya. Is there plenty to do? Is 17 nights too long to stay at Sanya?
