The fifth day's free activities provide you with more flexible space to organize your time freely according to your interests and needs. You can choose to enjoy a leisurely time in the hotel, immersed in the comfortable rooms and exquisite dining; or go to the surrounding attractions to continue exploring and feel the unique charm of Sanya; of course, you can also choose to laze quietly on the beach, let the soul and nature have a deep conversation.

When night falls, we will arrange for you to be transferred to the airport to ensure your smooth departure from this beautiful seaside city. We hope that the memories of Sanya will stay with you forever and become an unforgettable experience in your life's journey.
