Sanya--China’s Tropical Playground
There is a funny phenomenon in China: when southerners head to China’s frozen northeast to catch the snow sculptures and ice lanterns in the winter, the northern people stream south to Hainan province for Sanya’s sun drenched beaches and luxuriant jungles.--People often describe Sanya as the Hawaii of China where is their ideal tropical playground.

White sand, blue water and palm trees make Sanya a great destination for sun worshippers. Whether sipping coconut milk as the clean ocean water laps at your feet or floating through a coral jungle, Sanya is the place to go if the words “beach, sun and fun” comes to mind.
While the full 40Km or so of coastline dedicated to tourism is usually referred to as Sanya, the region is actually made up of three distinct zones. Sanya Bay is home to the bustling city center and a long stretch of beach and hotels aimed at locals and mainland holidaymakers. Dadonghai Bay, about 3Km southeast, beyond the Luhuitou Peninsula, is where most Western travelers stay. A further 15Km east, at exclusive Yalong Bay, the beach is first-rate, as is the line of plush international resorts.
