No matter how many spots you’ll go and how long you’ll take within daytime, they will be the same place where you are and keep waiting. It is the most convenient way to reach the destination.
 
Self-driving & Rental cars
 
Driving a car along the beach or in the mountain, discovering the world by your own with a map, that would be an unforgettable experience.
To hire a car needs license of course, but for a foreigner in China, who needs a Chinese consent, that’s easy, applying to the local traffic police station with license you had.
 
There is a bunch of company offers car renting service, some of them ask forRMB3000 or more deposit as the guarantee and some ask for none, at the same time ID card, return ticket are necessary as well. You needn’t pay any other tax beside the rentals. The only cost is the expenses of gasoline. If you don’t have a license or don’t want to take time on getting Chinese consent, just pay extra RMB100-150 per day for a driver.
 
Bicycle
 
A suntan is earned. For a coast road tour or short stretches of countryside, if you want more activity, get you a bicycle. All beachfront hotels offer bicycle renting service, choose one you like and get on your way with a map. Beside hotels, in Sanya Bay, Dadonghai district, take a stroll first, then you will find stores offering the same renting service as hotels, to tell you the truth, there you just pay less then half of the hotels.
 
Motorbike
 
Motorbikes and three-wheel vehicles are very popular in Sanya. However, generally they are operated illegally and very dangerous. We suggest you not to choose them as your traffic tool during your trip.
