    Last time I visited Sanya, I didn't come to this scenic spot, so I couldn't miss it this time. Xidao Island isn't as famous as Wuzhizhou Island, but it's still very cost-effective. The main attractions are Turtle Beach and Golden Bull Exploring the Sea. Although they are artificial structures and not entirely natural landscapes, they are still beautiful and spectacular. Our first stop was Turtle Beach. As soon as we got off the electric cart, we were amazed by the beach full of turtles of all sizes. I'd never seen so many turtles of different shapes and sizes before, basking peacefully under the coconut trees – perfect for taking photos. Then there's Golden Bull Exploring the Sea, which is incredibly lifelike, as if the bull is about to leap into the sea. Although it was our first time here as a family, it was a memorable experience and definitely worth a visit!

    This was a must-see on my first trip to Sanya. I hiked up to Orchid Valley this time, and the views from the top were fantastic. You could actually take a bus up and then hike down, but the midday sun is too bright, so it's best to get to the top early in the morning for photos and then hike down…

    Atlantis Sanya was amazing! The lobby was breathtaking, the aquarium was like an underwater world, and the adorable penguins were absolutely adorable – their waddling walk was simply irresistible! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with direct ocean views, and the breakfast selection was so extensive it was hard to choose. The WaterWorld and Lost Chambers aquarium were fantastic; the kids didn't want to leave. The service was also excellent, with smiling guides throughout. A perfect vacation, I'll definitely come back!

    I brought my mother, who is in a wheelchair, to the Sanya Romance Park. The accessible facilities were truly touching, and the third restroom was spacious and clean. The staff proactively arranged a private area for us to watch the performance and even provided blankets to keep us warm. The service was incredibly thoughtful; I give them a thumbs up! The performance incorporated many cultural elements, which my mother thoroughly enjoyed.

    I recommend taking the Nanhai train around noon. It's less crowded and sunny then, perfect for taking photos. Plus, there's a cute little raccoon named Lucky on board! (* /∇\*)

    This is my second visit to Monkey Island. I visited once many years ago, and the area that can be explored seems smaller than before. You can see many monkeys, and you can buy snacks to feed them, but for safety reasons, the park doesn't allow hand-to-hand feeding; you have to throw the food out. Besides that, there are circus performances and short films to watch, but these kinds of shows and movies are available in many other places. The highlight is the aerial cable car to and from Monkey Island, offering beautiful views of the Tanka fishing rafts, the Clearwater Bay seascape, and the Monkey Island forest. Important reminder: Many locals outside the park offer to take you into Monkey Island for 100 yuan. This doesn't actually get you into the main attraction; they'll take you to a part of the island outside the main area where you can feed the monkeys (hand-to-hand), but there are no other activities.

    At the Hainan Provincial Museum, the detailed two-hour guided tour was unique, setting it apart from other provincial museums. The guide, Ms. Lizhi, was excellent and highly recommended.
