As “China’s Hawaii", Sanya is in Hainan province, has 20km long stretches of beach. As the only tropical city across the coastline, it is definitely booming and packed with a lot of water sports such as snorkeling and jet-skiing, rainforest hiking, and innumerable hotels ranging from zero to five stars.
With sunshine all year around, temperatures hover around 25*C even in January and 30*C in the summer time. Its islands and beaches are beautiful and the water in Yalong Bay and Dadonghai are clean enough to have a good swim, but you may also want to head to Wuzhizhou Island or further north to visit unspoiled and natural scenery.
Also,Hainan island is a duty-free island now. In Sanya, China Duty Free Group (CDFG) has been developing a giant store complex since the start of 2010 which was finished at the end of that year and covers more than 7,000 square metres.
