Summary: Don't come here if you have been to Hawaii. The water is clear, the view is great...yet nothing is cheap here. There will be a lot of people coming from mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong or Japan during holidays. Sea food here is great, but it is recommended that you visit some night market. There is one rule in Hainan, do not follow your tour guide or driver =P.
Description:
| Located 25 kilometers east of Sanya city, the beach, which extends for 7 km along the blue seawater, with green palm trees and hills behind, is regarded as the best beach in Hainan province. People can get there by taking a taxi from the center of the town. |  |
 | Enjoying the same latitude and similar weather conditions as Hawaii, the beach in recent year is of more and more attraction. The water is clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds in it. Playing and pursuiting in the water with the tropical fish swimming around, simmers can fully relax themselves. Now, a new resort, with tasteful manner, is under construction. In order to protect the marine resource and environment, commercial fishing is forbidden here. |
| There are many shops, restaurants, and hotels, including, Gloria Resort and Cactus Resort, the best hotels in Hainan Island, providing the necessary service for you. And a museum, with a large collection of seashells, is near the beach.
After playing in the sea, you can also have a mountain climbing, golf playing, hiking, and submarine cruises here.
A nice trip from the bay is to Wild Boar Island: You can go to the island by taking a boat from the bay. Since prices for this vary, so be attention to ask around at your hotel or in the restaurants on the bay |  |
