The best time to explore the beauty of Sanya runs from March to September which means it is possible for you to escape overcrowded scenic spots.
 
Wherever you stay, you're never far from the tourist attractions. In you happen to stay in Jiyang Town area, you can join the crowds on visiting the Baiyue Ethnic Cultural Village, which tells the unique Hainan ethnic cultures, linger in tropical rose gardens and go on a leisurely hike across the flowery scenery at Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park.
 
All of these and more are only short trips nearby and can be easily visited as half-day trips.

Yalong Bay International Rose Valley

With a total land use of 1,755 Mu, Yalong Bay Rose Valley in the area was approved as a new tourist attraction in Sanya in 2011.

The Rose Valley is the largest flower plantation base in Sanya, featuring 1,200 types of roses. It has since become a charming icon of Sanya’s agricultural tourism. Apart from specializing in growing roses, the rose garden also manufactures products such as rose tea, oils and ornaments.

Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park

Set in the hillsides looking over the Yalong Bay Resort District, covering an area of 1.5 square kilometres, this is the first nationally protected park in Hainan.

The park is densely forested with tropical and sub-tropical vegetation. Footpaths and raised walkways wind through the trees, with lookout spots dotted along the way giving spectacular views of Yalong Bay, Haitang Bay and the surrounding valleys.

Attached to the park is a luxury hotel, the Earthly Paradise Bird’s Nest Resort, so there are a number of dining options available from the ‘Health Buffet’ included in the ticket price to the hotel’s Thai, Western and Chinese restaurants (reservations essential).

There is also a range of activities available including climbing, team building, a sightseeing bus and a shopping street to buy souvenirs.
