Nightclubs in Dadonghai. sanya nightlife

Dadonghai has experienced a booming tourism development in the past few years, although it has been haphazard and not very well organized. Today Dadonghai is very popular tourist area Hainan Island with many hotels, restaurants, shopping and entertainment venues, to which you can safely add all the similar objects of the city of Sanya, located just a few kilometers from Dadonghai.

Bar street in Dadonghai

While Dadonghai doesn't have a bar street like Sanya, Haiyun Lu Street, with several modern bars and nightlife venues, can claim this role. Hot Spot, Sky Bar and Pectoral Disco-Bar located on this street are among the the best places for a night out in Dadonghai. Just a few blocks from this street is Yuya Road, which is the main artery of Dadonghai and a famous nightlife area.

Nightclubs in Dadonghai

If you want to dance until the morning, then it is important to choose an appropriate institution in which the atmosphere of fun will last all night. It seems to me that the best place in Dadonghai in this regard is Hot Spot - an Italian club equipped with a high-quality music system, a good bar and scantily clad miniature dancers. If the Hot Spot seems too simple for you, then you should go to the cities of Sanya, where there are several big clubs.

For those who love live music, there are several restaurants in Dadonghai that host mini-concerts in the evenings. A good place for live music lovers is Dolphin Bay Restaurant, which is located on Yuya Road, across the street from shopping center summer mall.

Night club in Sanya where locals and tourists resort town like to hang out, make some noise and drink. There are not many places like this here, and all the clubs are similar to each other, so it makes no sense to describe each club. I'll just give a little description about one of these that I'm visiting.

Night club in Sanya

All Chinese clubs are similar to each other, so the clubs in Sanya are no different. The same theme, the same style of music - in one account, everything is the same. The club itself is smoky, the sound of dice at all tables (the favorite game of the Chinese in the club). Those who were in the Chinese club, the guys will understand what I'm talking about, those who haven't been yet have yet to see it.

As for the nightlife in Sanya, the choice here is not great. There used to be a lot of such establishments, now there are less and less, sometimes bars are built and open, sometimes they quickly close.

I don’t know what the reason is, maybe competition, and all the time new clubs are not allowed to unwind. As I think, there are only 2 clubs left in Sanya that can still be visited.


One of which I visit from time to time is M2 Night Club. With me, this club changed its interior 2 times, apparently in order to attract and impress even more guests with its new design, and even change something in detail. For example, sofas burnt by a cigarette are replaced with new ones ..

The club itself is not big, and does not look like our Russian nightlife at all. Entrance to the club is usually free, there is no dress code either, and what is the dress code in the resort village.

Going inside, you will notice that there are practically only tables in the club and something like VIP seats, tables with sofas are made in the corners around the entire perimeter. Further in the center is a small bar counter, which for some reason was divided by a stage for dancers.

This stage also serves as a dance floor for guests in the future. After drinking cocktails, everyone can shake their bodies to the music. Behind the bar, you will not see chairs, apparently they did this so that fellow visitors would not linger and prop up the bar, it stands well without it, but gave way to others.

In general, there is a constant circulation of visitors. I came to the club, I saw a free place near the bar, “scored it” and you stand until the victory, otherwise you will blink your eye as your place is already gone!) Toilet or toilet, you don’t feel like it ... you stand, drink and have fun) That’s why it’s better not to go to the club alone take your friends and WELCOME to the club in Sanya.

Night life

What about the choice of menu… what I like here is that the club has provided for the fact that the guests are not only Chinese but also Europeans. Yes, and I will say one thing here, foreigners come to rest more often than in any other nightclub.

Every year there are more Russian tourists coming to rest on Hainan Island, so the club leaders made the menu in Russian, so that it would be convenient for Russian comrades to explain what they want from the staff.

Well, if you don’t know where to start at all or want to book a table for a large group of friends, then for such situations the club has a manager for foreign guests. He himself is a foreigner, which is already good, you don’t need to run around looking for him, as a rule, he always stands near the bar and uses his phone.

This is the person you need. If you are a little confused, when you see everything you see in the club, then he will help you, I will call him “Foreign body caretaker” ;-) you can contact him for any question.

The cocktail menu, I would say, is not very diverse, there are Chinese cocktails that did not fit in my head (what could it be ?!), I didn’t try to take something unknown and take risks.

Coming to the bar and standing all evening is also not an option, so I took simple cocktails, such as the well-known ones (Gin and Tonic, White Russian, and so on, Long Island cocktail).

There are only standard cocktails, so don't be sad if you don't see your favorite, there is still a choice. For those who do not drink alcohol, but love going to clubs, there is also such an option as ordering citrus juices, coconut milk (very tasty by the way) and carbonated drinks, in principle, they have no problems with this.

In addition to mixed drinks, you can order a bottle of something vigorous, with such a choice they will also make you + a vase of fruit. There is also beer, both a Chinese version and a foreign brand. You can place an order for beer as 1 bottle or a whole bucket)))

Here I will clarify, in the sense that they will not bring you a bucket of beer with a straw, but about 12 bottles of beer will simply be thrown into the bucket. Here, if you made such an order, then do not be alarmed if only a few pieces are taken out of the bucket, the waiters can get some and put it on the table, and put the rest near the bar so that it does not interfere with you or other visitors.

And besides, they have this habit of opening all the bottles at once, if you don't like it, just let the waiter know how many bottles you want to open first. About ordering and drinking, I think it’s enough and understandable, you will already apply all these skills when visiting a club.

What else can be said unusual that it would be unacceptable to do in our clubs. For example, you can smoke, you can smoke in a Chinese club, no one will forbid you to do this, everyone! All without exception.

I am a non-smoker and I can’t be in fresh air without a break, it’s sometimes difficult to stand there and breathe cigarette smoke. Tired of being in the club, went outside for a breath of fresh air and went back.

Also in the club there is a chill out room where you can relax, sit on the sofas, or take a nap for about 10 minutes, as many Chinese do if they are already tired of drinking, took a nap a bit, gained strength, woke up and went on to walk with friends. This is normal, this is China!)

p.s. I don't recommend it! otherwise you will fall asleep on the couch sleeping, you and your selfie with the Chinese will walk all over the Internet.

Evening at the club

The evening at the club is held with the theme…

Here I mean not just a DJ spinning tracks, but there are also moments when the dancers put on a show. The dancers are both Chinese and a group of foreign dancers who will show you their interesting performance.

In my opinion, the club is good! Coming to this club you can meet young people from different parts of the globe. Someone is local, and someone, like many, simply decided to visit these "Eastern Hawaii". It was here that I met new people, someone after a long conversation became my friend.

I want to say this not only Russians, but also guys from countries such as Cuba, Ukraine, Africa, France, Italy, Jordan, Turkey, Portugal, and in general many friends with whom I keep in touch every day.

Trust me, everyone who lives there is very friendly and I am sure that you, as well as I, will be able to meet interesting people, which will serve you in the future for an interesting stay on the island.

I also want to highlight in this nightclub that when you come there you already have your favorite bartender, cheerful and always smiling at you, because it's nice when the evening starts in a good mood! :)

Further, as for the music, I would not say that I like it, but some echoes of the “music tracks” can even be said to be good! Of course, there are annoying moments when people smoke nearby, music plays HIGHLY, they push each other, sometimes it sometimes infuriates you, but you don’t pay your attention to it.

Why? Yes, because a cheerful bartender smiles at you. Yes, and know, it seems to me that if you have already come initially in a bad mood, then naturally you will already be enraged by everything that is around you!

Also, if you do not need problems with the Chinese and the police, then you should not start a fight even if one of the guests nearby was wrong! Rights are not right, if you are under alcohol, it is better not to enter into conflict, you are in a foreign country!

I have not encountered such problems, so the evenings were excellent in such establishments, which I wish you too.

Here is a short review I gave you in my article. Night club in Sanya although it is not famous for excellent cocktails or pleasant music, I think it is possible to spend an evening with friends in this place)

Club Address: 地址:三亚市榆亚大道时代海岸酒吧街

Have a great vacation!

Summary

Place for evening gatherings with friends

The nightlife of the resort is different from entertainment in metropolitan areas. But even in such a small resort town like Sanya everyone will be able to find entertainment to their taste. In the summer, parties end early, when the nights are still dark and dawn is far away.

Night clubs

In Sanya, all nightclubs are located in one place - on Bar street(Chinese - 酒吧街, English - jiu ba jie (times coast), Russian - Jiu Ba Ze). Convenient location - between Dadonghai Bay and the city center, allows you to get to the place on your own by bus or taxi.

Night clubs open at 20:00-21:00 and work until 3-4 in the morning. If you want to feel like part of the crowd, then you should come closer to midnight, when various show programs begin in the establishments. IN summer period when there are few tourists, the club can close at one or two in the morning.

Chinese night club different from Russian or European. As a rule, this is a small institution where the bar is in the middle, and there is no dance floor at all. If the club has a performing band, then there will be a small podium for their show program. The lack of a dance floor is compensated by high tables and soft zones along the walls. If the institution has a second floor, then it is given over to the chill-out zone. There is no dress code, face control and entry is free everywhere. And often foreign guests are presented with compliments from the institution. For example, you order one beer, and the waiter brings two: the second is a gift from the club. The fact is that the Chinese like to relax in those places where there are foreigners. By doing so, they raise their status, showing that they have enough money to hang out in an expensive club with Laowie. And therefore, one or two beers or a couple of free cocktails will not ruin the institution - they make profit from Chinese customers.

A club where tourists and expats like to relax - M2. It is impossible to pass by this establishment - a huge sign above the entrance and a small chill-out in the form of a balcony are located not far from the entrance to Bar Street. Here they put on different music oriented to foreigners, and the show program is presented by people from the CIS.

Second, but not least, is the №88 (pinyin: ba-ba, Russian: pa-pa). He is located with opposite side and for this you need to go through the entire Street Bar or go to the riverfront, walk past the SOHO club and the Rainbow bar. Here you can also meet foreigners, but not in such numbers as in M2. A show program of Chinese artists and sometimes bartenders arrange their own performance - juggling bottles, artistic preparation of cocktails and more.

But the most popular among local residents considered a club SOHO. Located on the corner of the main street and the river embankment, it attracts hundreds of citizens every night. Well-known Chinese DJs often play here, popular groups and artists perform in the country. This is a network of clubs in all major cities countries - Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and even Hong Kong.

Club bar 8090 (pinyin: balingjiuling, Russian: palinjiulin) is opposite residential complex Times Coast. There are no foreigners here, maybe one or two will wander here by chance, but this is extremely rare. Accordingly, managers speak only Chinese, while English-speaking or Russian-speaking managers work in the three previous ones. But in this club there is a large room and you can see how the Chinese break away from foreigners. There is also karaoke here.

In nightclubs it is customary to rent a table. Usually they book near the stage so that it is convenient to watch the performance. The average cost of a small table for a company of 4-6 people on a weekday is 500RMB and this price includes one or two buckets of chilled beer (no more than 20 bottles of 0.33 liters each) or one bottle of strong alcohol and soft drinks (tea, juices). Weekend prices are higher.

In all clubs, prices for alcoholic drinks are kept at the same level: cocktails 30-45RMB, imported beer 25RMB, Chinese - 15 RMB.

Karaoke


Karaoke

Despite the fact that karaoke is a Japanese invention, it is loved with tender love in China. Finding clubs is not difficult - the capital letters KTV (Chinese - 卡拉OK, English - kalaok, Russian - kalaokey, but everyone says ktv) will point you in the right direction.

The cost is different everywhere, it is impossible to derive an average price, because it depends on many factors. For example, in a Chinese establishment paying once 580RMB you can sing karaoke in a small room from 19:00 to 02:00. Immediately, a tray of fruit and a bucket with 10 bottles of beer at 0.33 will be brought into the room.

At the same time, you can’t bring your own alcohol (they check bags), but you can order it at the club bar along with a snack. Prices in such karaokes start from 60RMB for one hour and this price does not include anything.

If you want to save money and at the same time it doesn’t matter what language you sing songs in, then you can go to karaoke in the afternoon - on average 25RMB in four hours. The price also does not include anything, except for the rent of the room itself. And in the evening for the same four hours they will ask already 290RMB and bring beer, a fruit plate and snacks. Another savings option is early booking rooms on a weekday. Regular customers can issue discount cards.


Karaoke Club

The karaoke clubs have ordinary rooms for up to 10 people and VIP rooms, which can accommodate about 25-30 guests. Also, prices in karaoke depend on the status of the establishment. It can be an expensive, Chinese-style club with red fringe and velvet, massive furniture and gilding, designed in baroque and rococo styles, or it can be strict minimalism, in cold silver tones and with very expensive lighting and sound equipment. Sometimes you can find a karaoke club with rooms that are decorated in different styles, for example, Hello, Kitty!
