Arrival Ideas:

Sanya is one of the officially designated international ports of entry in Hainan Province, China. According to the latest policy, Hainan implements a 59-country visa-free entry program. Eligible travelers can enter Hainan directly via the Sanya Port of Entry without applying for a visa in advance and stay on the island for up to 30 days. (Note: Please check the latest policy before your trip.)

Sanya Phoenix International Airport (SYX) is the main international airport on Hainan Island. The airport operates direct international flights from Russia, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries (Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, etc), offering convenient access for overseas travelers visiting China’s tropical paradise.

Escape to paradise on a full-day adventure to Wuzhizhou Islet (蜈支洲岛) - one of Sanya’s most beautiful and romantic offshore islands, often called “The Maldives of China.”

After breakfast, your guide and driver will meet you at your hotel and take you to   Wuzhizhou Islet Pier, where a short ferry ride (about 20 minutes) brings you across the sparkling turquoise sea to Wuzhizhou Islet. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by soft white sands, swaying palm trees, and crystal-clear waters that instantly set the tone for a perfect island day.

Hop on an electric sightseeing cart to circle the island and stop at its most iconic viewpoints: Heart of the Ocean (海洋之心) – the best spot to capture photos of the island’s famous “jelly sea” and crashing waves against dramatic reefs Sunrise Rock (观日岩) – offering panoramic views of the entire island and the endless blue horizon. Lover’s Island (情人岛) – a pair of weathered rocks that have stood side by side for centuries, symbolizing eternal love. Every photo here feels like a cinematic shot.

In the afternoon, enjoy optional water sports (at extra cost). Wuzhizhou is one of China’s top diving destinations, with choices ranging from coral reef snorkeling to advanced scuba diving, letting you explore the colorful underwater world up close. You may also try sailing, parasailing, or surfing, each offering a fun way to experience the sea.

Or simply relax on the beach, dip your toes in the warm water, and sip on a fresh coconut under the tropical sun- a perfect ending to your island escape.

After breakfast, head out with your guide to explore the lush Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park (亚龙湾热带天堂森林公园) - one of Sanya’s most famous natural attractions and a must-visit filming location of the popular Chinese movie If You Are the One 2.

Stroll through lush tropical rainforest trails filled with exotic flowers, dense greenery, and the soothing sound of birdsong. As you ascend higher into the hills, the view opens up to the park’s signature “mountain-and-sea-in-one-frame” scene — the breathtaking sight of Yalong Bay’s emerald waters and white sandy shoreline, framed by a sea of tropical forest and blue sky.

Cross the thrilling “Over-the-Sea Dragon Rope Bridge (过江龙索桥)”, and relive memorable scenes from the movie. Enjoy panoramic views from the Glass Bridge and Observation Deck, then capture romantic photos at the “Love in the Air” sculpture or the charming hilltop chapel featured in the film.

Afterward, continue to Yalong Bay Beach, often praised as “the best bay in China.” Relax on the powdery white sand, swim in the clear blue sea, or simply lie back under the palm trees and soak in the gentle ocean breeze.

Relaxing on a beautiful beach is the highlight of any Sanya holiday — and today, you’ll have the full day free to unwind and enjoy the tropical charm of this island paradise. No sightseeing or guided activities are arranged, allowing you to spend your time exactly as you wish.

Tips: If you need a private transfer between your hotel and the beach, your travel consultant can arrange it in advance.
