🌊【Must-Visit Attractions】
1️⃣ Coconut Dream Corridor🌴🌄
✔️Free! 20km coastal coconut tree avenue, navigate to "Haiyun Hotel" for the opposite side with fewer people and great lawn photos
✔️Sunset time 17:30-18:30, perfect for silhouette shots! Watch out for mosquitoes🦟

2️⃣ Nanshan Temple🙏
✔️Buy tickets 2 hours in advance (122 yuan), the 108-meter Guanyin statue over the sea is breathtaking
✔️The scenic area is huge, recommend taking the sightseeing car; climbing to touch Buddha's feet requires ascending 7 levels
⚠️Note: Shorts/skirts must be below the knee, no photos of Buddha statues allowed

3️⃣ Tianya Town⛱️
✔️Blue and white Mediterranean style, a real-life Santorini

4️⃣ Da Donghai & Xiao Donghai Beaches🌊
✔️Da Donghai is lively, Xiao Donghai is less crowded
✔️Recommend visiting the observation deck for a panoramic view of both bays

5️⃣ Semiramis Yacht Harbor⛵️
✔️🆓! European-style port filled with yachts, best to visit after 4pm, and check out the white church next door💒

6️⃣ West Island🏝️
✔️Round-trip ferry: 90 yuan, rent electric scooters to tour the island🛵 30 yuan/hour
✔️Zip around on electric scooters and discover jelly-blue waters at every turn💙
✔️Accommodation recommendation: Haishi Guesthouse✅

7️⃣ Donghai Night Market🍢
✔️Sanya's largest seafood BBQ night market🔥

🍤【Recommended Eats】
▪️ Haimengmeng Herb Duck: A must for duck lovers! 80 yuan per person, eat until you can barely walk
▪️ Fuyu Basket Rice: Hainan specialty, as featured by Song Haoran

💡【Useful Tips】
1. Transportation: Car rental is most convenient (100+ yuan daily), Gaode taxi app is cheaper than Didi
2. Sun protection: SPF50+ sunscreen + umbrella, Sanya's UV rays are assassins!
3. Accommodation: Choose Yalong Bay for luxury, Sanya Bay for value, Haitang Bay for duty-free shopping
