Yalong Bay
It is the most famous bay of Sanya, which the Chinese government started to build as a national level tourism resort area with tropical features in 1992.
The bay is shaped like a crescent with about 7 kilometers of silver beach and silky sands.
Mountains covered by lush plants surround the bay on three sides and create a peaceful area that is ideal for swimming and relaxation.
The bay area has tropical forest parks, ocean parks, a marine museum and more. It is not far from Binglang Valley Cultural Tourism Zone, which showcases local ethnic Li and Miao people's life and history.
Sanya Marriott Yalong Bay Resort and Spa is one of the first international brands to operate in Sanya and has experience in understanding and catering to tourists' needs.
The hotel rooms are decorated in a Chinese style with cozy furniture to relax people.
The kids' club at the hotel provides day care and can teach children drawing on tree leaves while their parents are away sunbathing or swimming.
