Sanya Holidays

Sanya is the southernmost city of China and a famous international tropical seaside resort, which is located in the southernmost point of Hainan Island. Sanya is the second largest city in Hainan island and has 19 bays and harbours and 40 islands. It is said that Sanya has the most well-preserved and beautiful beaches in all of China. All of the destinations of Sanya are linked to water, hence it attains its reputation as being the 'oriental Hawaii'. Sanya bay is surrounded by beautiful tropical scenery with an endless sea view. Additionally, as Sanya Bay is not far from the city centre, it is easy to wander along the bay to view the sunset. As you walk along the bay, you can see the fishermen trawling and hear their working songs resounding to the skies. This can only be seen in Sanya Bay as fishing has been forbidden in Dadonghai and Asian Dragon Bay.

The Asian Dragon Bay (Yalong Wan), Dadonghai and Sanya Bay are the top three holiday resorts of Sanya. Besides the bays, there is also Wuzhizhou Island, which is in Haitang Bay, north of Sanya City. A gorgeous natural landscape, combined with various tourist facilities and well-developed entertaining events provide a paradise destination.

The Nanshan Temple in Nanshan Culture Tourism Zone is located 40 kilometers (about 25 miles) away from the west of Sanya City, and is certainly worth visiting. It is the most famous Buddhist temple in Hainan Province, and faces the South Sea and is encircled by mountains on both its sides.
