Day 2 Yalong Bay Self-guided Tour (B)
Spend the day on your own
Relaxing on a beautiful beach is the core experience of any Sanya holiday, so is in this tour. Today is a free day for you to relax and have fun on a charming beach in Sanya. There will be no sightseeing and activity arranged. If you need service for transfer between your hotel and beach, please let your travel consultant arrange for you. You can also use local taxi to move around. Below are recommended beaches in Sanya:
Yalong Bay - Being said to be the most beautiful beach in China, Yalong Bay has a crescent-shaped，7-kilometer long blue-water beach with soft sand and clear water. Yalong Bay is about 40 mins way by car from Sanya downtown. Many high-end luxury hotels are located there. Yalong Bay also popular for swimming and snorkeling. You can also go to enjoy some leisure walking and panoramic view of Yalong Bay in the Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park.
Sanya Bay - Sanya Bay’s water and sand are not as great as Yalong Bay, but it is the best location to watch the sunset in Sanya. Its beach stretches 22 kilometers. On the up side, a wide range of fun activities are on offer at Sanya Bay, such as wind surfing, sailing, etc. Located only about 7km from downtown, the rates of hotel, food and activities in Sanya Bay are relatively lower than other beaches.
Dadonghai - Dadonghai is a small beach with fewer tourists than Yalong and Sanya Bays. It is most famous for its blue waters, white sands, green trees and water sports. Shops, restaurants and amusement facilities can be reached easily from the beach as it is only 3km from Sanya downtown.
Haiitang Bay - if you are looking for a quieter escape, Haitang Bay is the best choice. Locating about 28km away from Sanya downtown, the bay has a 42.3km beautiful long coastline replete with newly-constructed resorts including the famous Atlantis Resorts. You will also find China Duty Free Mall, the world’s largest duty free shopping centre.

Hi Wonder,
We are safely back in Guangzhou. Wonderful experience. All the planned events were highlights and the little extra side trips were a plus. Thank you for all your careful planning.
Hi Leo,
This is a very short customised arrangement during which the China border is not fully opened yet.
China Discovery charges a premium though, but it delivered without fail.
The VOA is very new to even the custom officers who were on duty when I cleared the immigration check at Shenzhen as well as the HK side. I must say that the agent did his professional service by always on the call to allow on-site changes of my arrival time because immigration clearance was so unpredictable. I can be assured that someone is just outside the arrival hall to pick me up and, I could tell the immigration officer that my local contact person is just waiting outside to pick me once I am cleared with this new procedure.
It is always safer to have a local contact to guide you and make arrangements for your local transfer when language ( Cantonese instead of Mandarin) is a problem in China .
Thx for the service . Thx to Matt too.
Rgds
Rita,
thank you for your arrangement. The tour and logistics were really good. We are very happy and look forward to the next trip in China with your company.
Dear Jack,
I have tried to leave the following review with tripadvisor several times now but somehow it is not accepted, I do not know why.
"Just back from our 9-day trip to Yunnan, long planned and waited for. It was our second time with China Discovery Tours. Once again they tailored the tour according to our ideas and interests - and succeeded in surprising us! Thanks to the local guides we learned a lot about history, traditions and customs, and, of course, food. We always felt in safe hands and the organization was just perfect with enough on spot flexibility. Big thanks to Jack who figured it all out so well and to the next time with China Discovery! Johannes (GER) & Elizabeth (GRC)"
Thanks again for an excellent trip, best regards, Johannes&Elizabeth
