Day 2 Yalong Bay Self-guided Tour (B)
Spend the day on your own
Relaxing on a beautiful beach is the core experience of any Sanya holiday, so is in this tour. Today is a free day for you to relax and have fun on a charming beach in Sanya. There will be no sightseeing and activity arranged. If you need service for transfer between your hotel and beach, please let your travel consultant arrange for you. You can also use local taxi to move around. Below are recommended beaches in Sanya:
Yalong Bay - Being said to be the most beautiful beach in China, Yalong Bay has a crescent-shaped，7-kilometer long blue-water beach with soft sand and clear water. Yalong Bay is about 40 mins way by car from Sanya downtown. Many high-end luxury hotels are located there. Yalong Bay also popular for swimming and snorkeling. You can also go to enjoy some leisure walking and panoramic view of Yalong Bay in the Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park.
Sanya Bay - Sanya Bay’s water and sand are not as great as Yalong Bay, but it is the best location to watch the sunset in Sanya. Its beach stretches 22 kilometers. On the up side, a wide range of fun activities are on offer at Sanya Bay, such as wind surfing, sailing, etc. Located only about 7km from downtown, the rates of hotel, food and activities in Sanya Bay are relatively lower than other beaches.
Dadonghai - Dadonghai is a small beach with fewer tourists than Yalong and Sanya Bays. It is most famous for its blue waters, white sands, green trees and water sports. Shops, restaurants and amusement facilities can be reached easily from the beach as it is only 3km from Sanya downtown.
Haiitang Bay - if you are looking for a quieter escape, Haitang Bay is the best choice. Locating about 28km away from Sanya downtown, the bay has a 42.3km beautiful long coastline replete with newly-constructed resorts including the famous Atlantis Resorts. You will also find China Duty Free Mall, the world’s largest duty free shopping centre.
Day 3 Sanya Local Cultural Exploration (B)
Todays' highlights: Betelnut Valley (Binglanggu), Nanshan Buddhism Cultural Park
Today，you will have a classic exploration of local culture and living style to enrich your holiday in Sanya.
After breakfast, you will be taken to visit Betelnut Valley (Binglanggu) which is an exotic village featuring Li and Miao tribes. It is the best place for you to find the roots of Hainan. There are many informative and interesting exhibits to learn about the indigenous culture. You will see many interesting things here - the women weaving fabric using their feet, musicians playing flute with nose, young girls dancing… There is also a one-hour performance showing ethnic culture and way of life of Li and Miao people in the park. Walking through of the stylish houses of the village is another unique experience.
In the afternoon, you will go to visit the cultural center of Sanya - Nanshan Buddhism Cultural Park which provides a wide variety of Buddhist disciplines represented with individual temples and gardens for particular types of meditation. The biggest highlight is the magnificent 108-meter-high sea-based Kwangyin Statue which is one of the tallest statues in the world, surrounded by beautiful gardens by the sea.
Before transferring back to your hotel, you will go to take a leisure walk and enjoy sunset on the Coconut Dream Corridor which is a seashore scenery avenue built along Sanya Bay, with coconut trees standing along the roadside.
Day 4 Circular Train & Sanya Departure (B)
Today's highlight: Circular Train
This morning, you will go to take a scenic high speed train to encircle the whole island to enjoy the pleasant landscape of bright beaches, coconut trees, tropical plants, blue sea, and villages of ethnic groups… You can even see the South China Sea clearly as you ride through some of the rail lines which run parallel with the island’s coastline. The whole train journey takes about 5 hours (about 650km long), starting from Sanya, running along the western railway and reaching Haikou on north, then going along the eastern railway and returning to Sanya.
After the train tour, go to catch your flight to your next destination.

Hi Rita,
Please kindly see the feedback below.
We are a family of 7. This private tour package definitely met our expectations! Both tour guides (Chengdu- MAY & Chongqing-DAVID) provided us a very good service, both friendly and very flexible despite the change in our tour schedules. They were also very responsible and ensured our safety, meals and transports were well taken care of, especially since we have elderly and kids in our group. Both tour guides are very fluent in English too so it is very convenient for some of the non-chinese speakers in our group.
We will look for the same tour agent again in our next trip to China!
Best Regards,
Victoria
Hi Shirley,
Thanks for the tour, and the itinerary that you planned for us was very comprehensive and detailed. We enjoyed it very much. The tour guide was also very friendly and experienced. He followed your itinerary closely and brought us to all the sites and explained in detail. He also recommended and brought us to enjoy some of the local cuisines during lunch.
Overall, we are impressed by the excellent service, reliability and quality that yourself, the tour guide and the driver has provided us. We would like to visit China again and we will not hesitate to engage your services again. Thank you!
Regards
Chun How
Hi Shirley,
I'm writing to provide some feedback on our recent Xian and Beijing trip that you put together for us.
We travel a lot, in the past year to Japan, New Zealand, China, Turkey, Africa, China, and finally this Xian/Beijing trip. I bring this up to highlight that we deal with a lot of travel professionals. You are easily the best travel professional we have dealt with through all of those trips. My wife, who happens to be Chinese asked me to make sure to keep your contact information for future China trips, with the intention of replacing the China based agent her brother usually uses for our trips.
Please let your manager know that we would probably not have used your company if not for you. Bamboo Travel is new to us and in a foreign country, so we had doubts as to what to expect. Your service was excellent from start to finish which really gave us confidence in your company. We had a little bit of an unusual itinerary and some constraints related to our other China travel prior to this tour. You were able to work through all of our issues with fast responses to our questions.
You also went what I would say was above and beyond expectations. The final example of that is a friend in the US was shipping some things to our hotel in Beijing for me to bring home to her. I contacted you to confirm the hotel name before they shipped the items, expecting I would then have to figure out the shipping details. Your reply not only confirmed the hotel, but you provided the shipping info in both English and Chinese, which saved me the hassle of trying to figure which address to use. Not a huge thing, but it's those small things that add up to a big difference in customer experience.
Thanks again for everything!
Xian:
Our guide was Waldner and we liked him from the start. We were just coming off another tour with another company which had maybe the best tour leader we've ever had. Even though we were always comparing Waldner measured up well. He was great at explaining the history of places we visited as well as answering our cultural questions. The restaurants/food were very good. He and the driver also modified the itinerary somewhat to optimize the driving based on our arrival and departure times and locations. We liked the hotel in Xian. The car (van) was very comfortable. Waldner also helped arrange tickets for a night show for us.
Beijing:
Pickup was great; even though we got in late the guide that picked us up was there and actually met us at the track. Cindy was our guide and we really liked her also. She is very knowledgeable and willing to answer (a lot of) questions. This was my 3rd time in Beijing and it was amazing what a difference having a good guide made. Cindy and the driver also modified the itinerary to optimize the driving. She also helped us book tickets to two shows, one of which was not on your list of optional items (Lao She tea house). Cindy was concerned about us ordering a cab so she stayed at the show to make sure we got back to our hotel ok. The restaurants/food were very good. The hotel was good but not great; for example we had hot water issues every day, and when I went to pick up a package that was shipped to me they just left me to dig through a pretty large pile of packages all addressed in Chinese.
To wrap up, I would rate the overall experience of looking for a trip, picking a company, and traveling 9.5 out of 10. Shirley, your service was 10 out of 10.
See you next trip!
Terry
Dear Rita,
Feedback.
The trip organised by Rita Jiang to Beijing and Xian was very well planned and enjoyable, showing the best of Chinese history, culture, heritage, and enormous progress.Your 2 guides, Linda Chua and Beryl are very good. Linda went out of her way to take us to Peking Opera at night. The kids were tired, so we did not go to Summer palace and Heavenly temple, and did not go to Xian Pagoda. It was our choice, so its ok. (I have been to all)
The 2 bus drivers were excellent, very careful, disciplined and good temperament and helpful. I could not give a tip to Beryl at Xian station, as I had to rush into toilet inside, and did not know she could not enter the train Station.
The pace was good, but the last day of train from Xian, to hotel (plus late dinner scrabbling in Beijing), then early next morning to airport was too Hectic. However, it was because we had to return on 8.12.24. we wish we could stay longer in Xian, and elsewhere. We could probably have gone to Xian by train, then fly back to Beijing by plane, but one way tickets could cost much more.
Anyway, thank you very much for all your fine arrangements. We all enjoyed the short trip.
For the kids, the major highlights were the Great Wall, Terracotta warriors, Acrobatic show. They will treasure. I will plan more trips for them to China.
Best wishes and warm regards,
Richard
