China Duty Free Sanya Duty Free Shop — Attraction in Sanya City

Cdf mall

Who is it for? if you are in the Haitiang area, this is a conviennat name brand mall to check out as long as you bring your ID/passport and travel documents with you.

If you are in the Sanya area by the airport, the one hour trek to this mall is NOT WORTH IT.

Any purchase made at cdf stores (there are at least two on each floor of the C building) will result in you leaving with just a receipt to retrieve your purchase in the airport! This requires you remember to retrieve your items after clearing security checks, there is no mixup and your items are waiting for you your items are small in quantity because you can not put them in your checked luggage- You must carry them on to the plane. if you have a connecting flight, these purchases will not put you over the 200ml carry on requirement, in which case you will have to discard them.

They have common name brands, but definitely not all. The prices are not phenomenally different. The mall could use more seating options in the common areas. If this is truly meant to be a tourist attraction, they definitely need more English speaking employees in the shops.

The highlight of the one hour journey to this place was getting wine/beer at the Shake Shack.

The sign on the door tells you you need documents in order to shop, regardless if you are Chinese or a foreigner, so don't come...

This mall is huge and very good-looking, but I do not think that it is a good shopping mall. It is not so good to shop due to some reasons. There are so many people but not so various products. Some high-end brands do not have bags but only perfumes and cosmetics. As well, prices are not so good...
