By bus:
Air-conditioned buses go from Haikou to Sanya every hour and take between three to four hours. The cost is approximately RMB80. The main bus station in Sanya is at the northern end of Jiefang Lu. Buses from Tongzha and Lingshui pull up around the intersection of Jiefang Lu and Gangmen Lu.

City Transport:
The various beaches and sights in Sanya are a fair distance apart. The easiest way to reach destinations here is by taxi or to hire a driver. Out of season, this costs approximately RMB200 per day and during peak season this can shoot up to RMB300.   However, there are cheaper options and public minibuses run from the city center to most of the beaches. To hire a minibus for the day (carrying about 10 people) costs about RMB400-500 per day, although this is negotiable.
