Day Trips in Sanya

When most people thing about Sanya day trips, the first thing that comes to their minds are not water retreats or tropical locations. However, the Middle Kingdom offers a peaceful, fresh surprise to the often polluted air of the busier cities. Below are two such water getaways that are well worth your time.

Nathian Hot Springs

These hot springs offer a variety of relaxing spa treatments in a luxurious tropical setting. Among the pools are the coconut pool, the coffee pool and Chinese herbs pool. There are many more to choose from. One of the favorites is the nibble fish pool, which contains tiny fish that nibble on the feet, removing dead skin and particles to make the skin softer. Prices for a tour of this spa are around $105. Remember to make reservations at least 24 hours in advance or the fee will be higher. Also, remember to bring your own swim clothes and extra money for the spa treatments and massages. Towels and a shower are provided with a free locker.

Picnic at Asian Dragon Bay

Asian Dragon Bay, or Yalong Bay, is located about 15 miles from Sanya. It’s 4.7 mile long, crescent shaped beach boasts of spectacular beauty and is one of the most beautiful places in the Hainan Province. It is perfect for a day getaway to relax on the beach or to have a picnic lunch. Of course, there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the scenery including watching the gorgeous bright colored tropical fish beneath the crystal clear water. Scuba diving is definitely encouraged for those who love to swim with the fish.
