We're chasing the easy life! ♫
Good morning guys!
Guess where we are?
We are in Sanya!
the tropical island -- - Look at the beach behind us
the tropical island of Hainan
Yes, so this is basically this is the Hawaii of China!
and today is a cloudy day with a little bit wind
and that's the kind of weather that I like
but it's still so humid
so muggy
and still super hot
So I can only imagine what it will be like when the sun is beaming on us
and it doesn't seem like this beach area is that busy.
we arrived last night
we took some pictures
and I was like, "oh man, tomorrow when we come here it's going to be packed with people,
we're not going to be able to take any photos in those palm trees
but, lo and behold, it's actually not that busy at the beach right now
I don't know if it's still early
it's only 10 o'clock
Or maybe Chinese people just don't really want to go to the beach
We'll go check it out in a bit, further down
Chinese people don't actually -- they don't actually like to stay at the beach
because they don't want to be so dark
because they think that people that are dark work in a labour job
and more of a peasant, and they don't want to be like that
I'm so glad that it's not that busy here
it's pretty nice!
Check it out you guys!
Let's check out the water, see if it's warm
Oh, the water is actually warm
Yeah, it's so nice
I'm so glad to be back at the beach, where I belong
I found some hermit crabs
hiding in their little shell
That's cute, that's cute
Oh, I love that
Danny loves animals
These are baby crabs?
No, they are hermit crabs.
That's how big they get?
We're chasing the easy life! ♫
Look how small these pineapples are! So cute
Can I buy half watermelon? (in Chinese)
We're chasing the easy life! ♫
Wow you guys, check out our view
37th floor
pretty amazing, penthouse floor
Hey guys, so we are just driving through on our scooter
Our transportation of choice in beautiful Sanya
We just came across this little area
where there is restaurant after restaurant along the beautiful beach
So we are going to find one and chow down
So, we are just at this restaurant by the beach
and just having a meal
super good
A song came on, I have no idea what it is. I'm sorry I think it's way before my time
But this guy, knows all the words
Singing ♫♫
Hey guys, so we just came to this pineapple
We've seen it on our way every single day here in Sanya so we wanted to check it out and see what's in there
So it's basically a mall
It's a big mall
There's stores, there's McDonald's
So we finally made it to the beach
Look at that beach! White sand, turquoise water
We are in heaven
Danny's got a little bit farmer's tan
Man, these scooters are crazy
There's like billions of scooters on the street
and you can't find anywhere -- you can't really find a parking spot.
We are at the food street, the walking lane
in Hainan
Sanya
The busiest place in Sanya right now
Babe, what did you get?
I got this black sesame ice cream sundae,
I actually got it from Burger King
It's really good. It has chocolate sauce on the top
If you like black sesame dumplings you would love this
It just tastes like the inside of those dumplings
I actually don't like the chocolate with it. I feel like it takes over the sesame taste
But yeah, I love black sesame
It looks pretty good
Yeah, it's really good. Do you want to try?
I'm good
Thank you
So, it's our first night in Yalong Bay, here in Sanya
and we're just in the -- kind of like the area where all the restaurants are here
It's quite bumping right now
Yeah
It's 9 o'clock. It's prime time. People are coming here to eat.
Getting some desserts
What I see is that there is actually a lot of kids here
a lot of people try to get away on the May long weekend
A lot of families are out, taking advantage of this holiday to travel
And it's busy
Busy, busy.
So, we have been in Sanya for the last 6 days
and today is our very last day in Sanya
and right now we at this Chinese restaurant
it's more of Sichuan cuisine
and I ordered this shredded chicken cold noodle with dumplings
It's very similar to the food that I had in Chengdu
and I just had a taste of these noodles
It's really good
and Sanya is very, very hot, very humid. You don't necessarily want to eat anything too greasy for lunch.
You gotta eat something light
Check it out guys
This is the dish that I am most excited about
This dish is a coconut rice
This dish is only available in this city
in Hainan province
Nowhere else in China has this dish
It's a very special dish, very unique in this region
This triangle is all glutinous rice
and they mix it with some dried fruit inside
I can already smell the aroma. It's really, really good
Very strong coconut milk smell
And at the bottom here, this is the coconut meat
The white part
That was good
Hey guys, so it's our last night in beautiful Sanya
we are currently at Yalong bay.
So we have been here for the last four days
So we started our trip --
The first couple days we were in Sanya Bay
and then we moved on to Dadong Hai for a couple nights
and then we came to Yalong Bay
and we were only supposed to be here for a couple of nights and move on to Haitang Bay
But we just loved Yalong Bay so much that we decided to stay for the rest of time here in Yalong Bay
Honestly, I have never seen water more turquoise, more beautiful
even Sanya Bay was nothing in comparison with Yalong Bay here
It's just incredible, it's so clear, it's so gorgeous
I highly recommend coming to this place if you are coming to Sanya
and there are so many resorts and so many hotels to choose from
yeah the province of Hainan
they just opened up their door to more tourists
so in the next couple years, I think the tourism here is going to be crazy
it's going to kick up another notch!
