Haitang Bay
It receives less tourists than other bays of Sanya and shows a natural beauty, featuring wild waves and a sandy beach that is rugged.
The bay is the perfect place for sports such as motorboating and beach quadbiking provided by the Westin Sanya Haitang Bay Resort.
Riding a motorboat thrusts people into the wildness of the sea, where they can enjoy the thrill of jumping down the waves.
Meanwhile, the quadbike can reach high speeds on the private beach and can be thrilling when the wheels crash through the sea water.
Beaches of Haitang Bay are mostly maintained by international hotels and are therefore protected from pollution. The water is clean enough for tourists to see seaweeds and coral.
Sanya Duty Free Store, the largest of its kind in Asia with 7,000 square meters of shopping space, is adjacent to the Westin hotel. Everyone who flies or sails when leaving Hainan province can buy 8,000 yuan ($1,165) worth of commodities there free of tax.
Shoppers can pamper themselves with local foods at the neighboring hotel. Westin offers local-style hot pot served with tender beef slides and a seafood soup that is cooked in water to retain the flavor of its fresh ingredients.
