SANYA BAY - CHINA'S HIDDEN JEWEL
THE BEAUTY OF EVERYTHING AND THE BEST OF CHINA
If you like the Caribbean and Mauritius you will enjoy this new destination
Sanya - The bay is a relatively undiscovered premier tropical destination, providing visitors with an irresistible combination of a world-class beach, quality swimming and diving, international resorts, and superb golf facilities in one exceptional location. Situated about 8 km west to the west of the suburbs of Sanya, Sanya Bay nestles along a most beautiful seaside road, immaculately clean and well kept, with a long soft sandy beach quietly kissed by the crystal clear waters of the warm South China Sea.
This wonderful tropical scenic bay is where you will also find the world-class luxury of the Palm Beach Resort & Spa, the very first of its kind in Sanya. With its easy access to Sanya International Airport, but away from the flight path, this superb location offers all possible creature comforts, and will serve to please the most discerning of visitors.
Located nearby are a few other hotels including the Hainan Airlines Resort, West Island for water sports, Sanya International Golf Club, and 27 km away is the centre of Sanya. Sanya Bay offers a level of exclusiveness when compared to Yalong Bay National Resort and Da Dong Hai. Whilst enjoying peace, tranquillity, and privacy, unlike many other locations, you will see more life of the local people.
Gan Shi Ling Tropical Forest
Lying to the northeast of Sanya, Gan Shi Ling Tropical Forest is an inviting natural parkland, rich in wildlife, tropical plants and native trees. It is a government-designated plant preserve, and features a number of protected species of fauna and flora and provides visitors with a unique opportunity to hike in a rugged rainforest environment. Gan Shi Ling is ideal for naturalists and holidaymakers looking for an alternative to the area's beaches.
Huizu Mosque
The white walls and twin towers of Huizu Mosque in Yang Lan Town northwest of Sanya have beckoned and sheltered the faithful for many years. Distinctive in the Sanya area as a place of worship for devout followers of the Muslim faith, Huizu Mosque features a large central prayer and meeting hall and wonderfully ornate middle-eastern architecture and design. The temple's two white towers, curved roof and arched entrance are especially inviting
Pearl Culture centre
Sanya's inviting Pearl Culture centre should be the first stop for anyone and everyone who appreciates the timeless beauty of the most exquisite jewel in Neptune's kingdom - pearls. The 13-hectare acre centre has eight busy showrooms, plus a fascinating range of exhibits encompassing the commercial cultivation and international marketing of pearls in the region. The Pearl Culture centre is located in the Tiandu just east of Sanya.
Sea and Mountain Wonderful Scenic Site
In addition to providing breath-taking panoramic views of the sea, cliffs and surrounding landscape, Sea and Mountain Wonderful Scenic Site, or Haishanqiguan, offers visitors unique insights into local history and culture. Located about 40 km west of Sanya, the site marks the spot where Jianzhen, an eminent Buddhist monk in the Tang Dynasty, and 36 of his disciples landed on Hainan Island and spread Buddhist teachings and literature. Jianzhen and his followers had originally set sail for Japan, but had been caught in a typhoon, eventually landing on Hainan Island.
