An independent guide to the coast

Why it exists

Sanya Expats is a one-person project. Suggestions and corrections from readers help keep it useful as coverage grows.

Useful local information is scattered across posters, chats, social accounts, venue pages and word of mouth. We put events, places and practical guides in one place you can actually check — without turning the site into a junk directory.

Published English pages are real and reviewed. Coverage, other languages and some contact tools are still being built out.

Sanya and more

Sanya is the starting point, not the edge. Coverage follows where people actually go along the southern coast — including nearby Lingshui, Wanning and other useful day trips across southern Hainan.
