Getting There

For the C Show, you can park in the underground parking lot; the C Show entrance is a short walk from the parking lot. According to visitor feedback, this parking lot began charging after the Chinese New Year; self-driving visitors should budget for parking fees.

Things to Do

The water park features family-friendly attractions: the Rapid River (children can ride in rings through a tropical rainforest wave pool), the Ocean Empire children's water play area (with mini slides and tipping buckets), and Shark Crossing (float through a transparent tunnel past sharks).

The family zone has shallow pools, gentle slides, and a lazy river, suitable for all ages.

The dolphin meet-and-greet, starting from March 4, is open only to individual visitors holding a valid aquarium ticket and requires advance reservation. Confirm your ticket validity and book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Visitor Tips

Bring or buy waterproof phone pouches in advance to avoid high prices inside the park.

Sanya's sun is strong; dark surfaces can exceed 40°C at noon and may burn bare feet. Wear footwear or avoid walking barefoot on hot surfaces.

Avoid staying during summer holidays or peak periods when queues may double and room rates rise by over 50%. If you must travel in peak season, book early and allow extra time and budget.

For stays longer than 4 days in Haitang Bay, consider bringing some dry snacks in case of need.

Do not buy so-called VIP cards from roadside touts; they are fake and cannot be used in the park. Purchasing them may cause financial loss and spoil your visit.
