Tips:

The tropical fruits in Sanya are colorful, affordable and mouth-watering. Many tourists do not understand the eating habits of fruits and eat special foods, which can easily cause fire or diarrhea. For example, mangoes, lychees, durians, and pineapples are high-calorie fruits. Eating too much can cause irritation and induce acne; eating too much lychee will reduce digestion, affect appetite, and cause nausea, vomiting, cold sweats and other phenomena. Due to the high water content of melons and fruits, eating too much will dilute the gastric juice, causing indigestion, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Before buying fruit, it is best to consult the vendor to understand the eating habits of the fruit.
