City Transportation
Public transportation in Sanya is represented by buses, cabs, and, of course, rickshaws. While these exotic modes of transportation in Sanya can be relatively expensive, they offer you the opportunity to explore the city thoroughly. The cost of your ride will depend on the distance traveled and the passenger's weight.
Sanya's public transportation includes two bus routes, No. 2 and No. 4, with stops approximately every 500 meters. In addition to these buses, special minibuses operate to destinations like Nanshan Temple, Edge of Light Park, and Dragon Asia Bay.
Local Transportation
Taxis are relatively affordable in the resort, but prices for transportation in Sanya of this type vary based on the time of day and the distance traveled. The starting fare is a minimum of CHY 7, and each kilometer costs about CHY 2. Therefore, a trip from the city center to Yalunwan Bay may cost around CHY 80, and to the "Phoenix" airport, it could be around CHY 45. Outside the city limits, the fare increases to CHY 2.7 per kilometer. If you plan to travel a considerable distance, it's advisable for tourists to negotiate a fixed amount for the round trip, which can be more cost-effective than paying by the meter.
