Hainan, Sanya 2018 Day 3 to 5 : Wu Zhi Zhou Island -> Ya Long Bay No.1 Outlet -> Time Coast Bar Street -> KTV -> Home Sweet Home

Day 3 :

Good morning! Bright day and ready for beach!

Heading to another little island in Sanya!

Ticket needed for ferry and to enter the island and if you want to do some other activities, all ticket will be sold here.

Price list is all stated there.

Quite a few activities to choose from actually.

Divers out there! Diving available too!

Wu Zhi Zhou ( 蜈之州 ) is the name of the island we are going! 


Not as crowded as we thought!

Here we go!




Less then an hour ( I think? I fall asleep so I'm not very sure too ) ferry ride and here we are at Wu Zhi Zhou Island!


Welfie first before anything!

Clear sea with clear blue sky!


We bought the tickets for the train to bring us to tour around the island so here we are queuing for our train.

Surprise dance performance to entertain us while we queue for our train!

Not lucky enough to take the Nemo train!


While in the train, we can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery and the guide ( who also drives the train ) also explain the things that we saw along the way.

Now, enjoy the view!







First stop to alight the train!

We stop over at the Valley of Love ( 情人谷 ) to see what they have here since the play sounds romantic.




Nice place to take photo!


This place is actually quite big!






Swan swimming here too!

I guess this Marriage Stone ( not sure is it call as that? but in Chinese we call it 姻缘石 ) is quite popular here as we saw quite a few people taking photo with it. 



Welfie and off we go to next place!


Queuing for train to the next place.


This two word can be read as Hainan ( 海南 ) or Nan Hai ( 南海 a.k.a Southern Sea )


Stop by the Lover Island ( beach )!







Too many people on the beach so it's difficult to take a proper picture without photo bomber so we decided to climb up the rocks!


Now you know, if you want to take a picture with no photobomber, climb up high!


Next, to the Ma Zu Temple ( 妈祖廟 ).

Didn't take picture while in the temple because it is kinda of disrespectful.

Our ticket includes a cup of tea at the tea house next to the temple. 


Have a short rest at the tea house with a cup of Chinese tea.

Everybody's favourite, God of Fortune!  


There is a place for you to fly too! But I think it's not cheap thou.

Anyway, time for lunch!


Honestly speaking... the food is not nice. I will not recommend to eat here.

Concept of this photo is no concept...

If you are tired, you can rent this glamping tent to have rest. Not cheap as well, the tent is charge by hours.


Big and beautiful pool but nobody inside? I guess it's only for guest that stay there?



The back stage behind a beautiful Instagram photo...


At this island, there is two instagramable famous word and this is one of them, Love!

By looking at this picture, you thought there is nobody at the beach right? NOPE, it's still super crowded but I'm lucky to find a empty spot for 3 seconds.

Oh ya, our ticket also includes 1hr of free usage of the beach bench.

For those thinking if this beach can do surfing, yup but not on the sea! Haha!




Finally found empty bench for us to enjoy our free usage of it.


Again, we found an empty moment at the beach!

But reality is there is a lot of people beside us!

Back to the jetty.


Having a not so nice yummy lunch, we are hungry again so we bought some food at the food cart at the jetty.





Food hunt continues...

Fruit juice chain from Singapore which non of us ( Singaporean ) seen before back at home?




By right this resting bed is also chargeable but we sat there to take picture in spilt second when the staff is not looking.

No beach bed or bench to sit? It's ok we can just sit on the sand!


After some food in take, continue to walk along the beach.



We found another instagramable word, HAPPY ( although it look like HADDY )! Playing with newly learnt photography skill, did you see 3 of me? 



While running about to take the special photo, we make a new friend! She and her boyfriend is so funny!

Sun is setting soon and it's time take the ferry back to the main island.


Gonna squeeze into the ferry with all of them...

Is it only me that thinks that this ferry looks like some transformer? 



Back to main island and sun is setting! Look at the beautiful sun ray!

Time for some shopping at the Ya Long Bay No.1 Outlet mall!


Wait... did I say outlet mall just now? Why is it so empty? This is really the quietest outlet mall I ever been to!




Quite a few brands there but honesty speaking, their outlet products are even more expensive then the normal retail stores in Singapore and I guess that explain why we left empty handed.

Oh wait! not really empty handed! I got myself the Christmas drink, Cheesy Latte from Starbucks! That's a flavour that Singapore do not have and I'm so loving it!

Bright and round moon tonight!

Wanted to hunt for dinner at the outlet mall but nothing interest as so we went back to our comfort zone, our hotel! 

So many choice and we decided to eat something really spicy so we choose Tan Yu ( 探鱼 )!

How cute is this side dish plate!



Menu.

Yeah! Here's our spicy fish! So yummy! For those who don't eat spicy, they do have non spicy fish so no worries.

Every part of the hotel is good for photo shoot, even at night!

And lastly, we decided to go to the salon in our hotel to wash our sandy hair! Haha! ( picture was taken in the day time )



After a hair wash, they insisted to give me a center parting... well... fine...

Oh ya by the way, we got this free gift at one of the stop over station ( can't remember which station ) at Wu Zhi Zhou island!


Day 4 :

Good morning! Not going any where far, so we went opposite to explore again.


There is many seafood restaurant here too but I think this area is quite touristy and with all the good and expensive hotel around so I'm not very sure well their seafood price here be reasonable or not.

Went into this fruits store ang got ourselves some yummy mango!


Back to the pool to chill!


And walking around to take pictures...

All I wanna do is to do nothing now...

Anyway, lunch time! And again choose another restaurant in the hotel, Huang Cheng Gen ( 皇城根 ) for lunch.





Having a Starbucks in the hotel, how can I not get my new favourite Chessy latte right?! 

Shopping again!

Love these wine bottle and decided to get 2 types of plum and fruit wine for my dad as his birthday present! Part of the wine collection ( rice wine, fruit wine and plum wine ) sold here are brew by the boss himself.

Went to the town area again for massage at Jia Fu Fu Qiao ( 家福福桥 ).

The price list for the massage.



CEO room!




The massage here is not too bad but not as good as the previous one we tried.

Done with massage and off we go to the next destination!

Beautiful moon again!

So holiday with two alcoholic, of course you need to visit the Time Coast Bar Street right? 

Thinking to go Soho but it seems to be a club here and doesn't seems good as there is many people standing outside to "pull" people in. Anyway, we are not dress properly so we didn't want to go in too.

We decided to give that bar street a skip and walk over to the other side for dinner first.



Korean BBQ as our last dinner in Sanya!


No menu, everything must be done on the phone. Good or not? Convenient in a way but inconvenient in another way for those who do not have WeChat app ( like me... ).


Cheers for our last night in Sanya!


LOL! The apron provided is so funny!



Yummy time!



Walk over to the salon for again another hair wash! How lazy are we right?!


Ok, today no center parting but the stylist wants to tong my hair...


Done with our hair and we went up for KTV instead of drinking session.

Their KTV is big and they sell flowers and cakes inside too! Good for those who wants to celebrate but didn't manage to get cakes or flowers!






Love this stand mic and love the sound system! Cheap ( compare to Singapore ) and good!

After singing our lungs out and back to hotel to sleep! Good night!

Day 5 :


Good morning! Our Didi Driver for the past few days, Xiao Yu ( 小宇 ) send us to the airport and we are ready for home!

Please look for Xiao Yu if you need drivers in Sanya! Super nice, honest and sometime funny guy!

Bye Sanya! You have been really nice!

Extra space seat for us again! Sorting out the pictures in the plane! But I think Sanya didn't want us to go home as she decided to do some air force rehearsal at this timing and make us stuck in the plane. 

Ok, the waiting time is too long so we have no choice to order some food to eat since it's lunch time now. Is that a sales technic from Jetstar? Should not they at least feel sorry for their passenger being stuck in the plane and provide some small snacks or food?

Anyway we got stuck for about 1.5hrs in the plane before we can officially say good bye to Sanya! Bye and stay tune for my trips next year!
