SanyaOwing to Sanya's tropical climate, most local activities take place after dusk. Thus, experiencing Sanya's nightlife can be the best way to participate in local life. It is in the nightclubs where you will truly feel the vigor of this newly-emerging tourist city.

Generally, the clubs are in star-rated hotels. For example, the Lidu Nightclub in the Sanya Maintint Hotel and the Huangchao Night Club in the Sanya Guoxi Hotel are two popular nightspots. If you want a quiet place to enjoy the beauty of Sanya at night, the Coffee.

Time Western Food Restaurant is recommended. Located in the Lanhai Garden on Binhai Road, it is a lovely place to enjoy the sea while sipping a cup of coffee. In addition, some of the beachside hotels have charming barbecues.

The new Blue Sea Luxury Bar Street on Haiyun Road is popular, as are the Hot Spot, the Sky Bar, and the Pectopah Disco Bar. Just a few blocks away is Yuya Road, which seems to be developing a nightlife area of its own. 

The Roma Pizzeria sits on the top floor of The Hot Spot. On the open-air terrace, there is an authentic wood-burning oven and a "Roman Room" equipped for imperial lounging. Together, the restaurant and bar make for a tasty and fun evening out.

Downtown Discos Sanya's downtown is opposite Sanya Bay on a peninsula between the ocean and the Sanya River. This is where most residents in Sanya live and where most of the day-to-day amenities are found.   A broad ocean boulevard.

Binhai Road, runs 20 kilometers along the ocean bay and there is a beautiful stretch of park, palm trees, and beach. It extends from downtown towards the airport and beyond with luxury high-rise apartments springing up along the way.

The bar street here is on Sanya He West Road. There, on a strip lining the river between two shopping centers, are a number of bars, KTV's, and discos: the Bujian-Busan Bar, the Golden Glory Nightclub, the Love at First Sight Bar, and the Sanya Hollywood Club. For a more unusual nightlife experience, head to the Guo Xi Hotel around 8:30pm every night for a strangely beautiful showgirl spectacular where at least half of the "girls" are men, but it is impossible to tell which is which!
