Second, on the second day in Sanya, we officially started our tour. The hotel included breakfast. Yuhua Garden offered both Chinese and Western breakfasts but they were served separately. I initially planned to have Chinese one day and Western the next, but when I got to the entrance of the Western restaurant, I couldn't bear the smell from the foreigners, so I ended up having Chinese breakfast for 2 days. Breakfast was eaten until 10 o'clock, so if you eat a full breakfast, you can skip lunch.
After breakfast, we went to the beach. It's still very close passing through Lijing. Since Dadonghai is free and open to the public, there are quite a lot of people (unlike Yalong Bay where Chongqing hotels all have private beaches). There are also many small shops on the beach offering diving programs, jet skis, etc. You can swim, and there are stalls selling island clothes at relatively low prices.
Because I thought there were too many people and the seawater wasn't clean, after playing on the beach for a while, we decided to go downtown. To get downtown, take the No. 2 bus to the First Market. There, we bought a lot of seafood and fruits. Many kinds of seafood were unfamiliar to us, but it was exciting. The fruits were very fresh. Although some fruits can be bought in Changsha Shanghai, the taste differs greatly. The fruits there truly taste delicious.
After buying the seafood, we took the No. 12 bus to Chunyuan or could also take a tricycle (around Haikou 6 yuan). Once at Chunyuan, we found Mingrun and 163, which received high praise online. We always worked overtime at Mingrun. The cooking processing fee was 6 yuan per pound. After 7:30 PM, there were no seats left as their business was really good. Mingrun also sells seafood, but it's more expensive than at the First Market.
In the evening, we took the No. 12 bus and transferred to the No. 2 bus back to the hotel. On the way, we passed by Wawang Supermarket, which is also the largest supermarket in Sanya. There were some local specialties inside, but not much fruit. When leaving, we still bought fruit from the First Market.
