Be There or Be Square
Easy to find between the two bridges leading into Sānyà, this place has a good vibe and a decent range of music but no real dance floor, meaning the mostly Chinese patrons tend to dance at their tables.

Number 1 Market
This night market is a great place to immerse yourself in the full Chinese experience. Soak up the palpably animated atmosphere while you shop for cheap lingerie, floral shirt sets and a myriad of other items you never knew you wanted. The outdoor restaurants either side of the market serve excellent, quality seafood.
