Known for its palm-fringed beaches and crystal-clear waters, Sanya—China’s tropical gem on Hainan Island—is buzzing again as tourism rebounds. 🌊 With optimized pandemic policies fueling economic recovery, travelers are flocking back to this coastal hotspot for sun, seafood, and tax-free shopping sprees.
Ukrainian vlogger Veronika Gerasimchuk, a six-year China resident, can’t resist Sanya’s charm either. On her third visit, she documented the vibrant scenes at the Sanya International Duty-Free Shopping Complex (the world’s largest!), where shoppers queue even off-season. 🛍️ 'The energy here is electric,' Veronika said. 'Between the coconut rice snacks and sunset yacht tours, Sanya feels like paradise with a side of retail therapy.'
One shopper told her: 'Duty-free prices make luxury brands accessible. I’m stocking up on skincare and gifts—it’s a win-win!' From beachside markets to high-end boutiques, Sanya’s blend of relaxation and retail proves why it’s Asia’s must-visit destination.
