Wild Hainan beaches. Hainan - beach photos

Until recently, people in Russia associated little China with beach vacations. People went to China to join the ancient culture, to see how our neighbors who are unlike us and yet so similar live. Rode to breathe air ancient country where ancient culture sprouts through modern industrial and economic advancements.

Maybe we didn't quite understand how the Chinese manage to work this way, but now we have the opportunity to see how the Chinese are resting, or at least strive to have a rest. And even to have a rest there, where the sea and beaches of China beckon to rest the inhabitants of the Celestial Mountain, tired of labor.

The massive beach movement in China does not have such a long history - for quite a long time a simple (or, more correctly, a mysterious oriental) Chinese worker did not have such wide material and physical opportunities to quit his beloved job for a couple of weeks and give up with his family (or friend) to sea. The beaches in China as a recreational and recreational zone began to be mastered by the fraternal people just a few decades ago. The level of income has changed, stereotypes have changed, the concept of recreation has changed. Sea coasts In China, a forest of hotels of varying degrees of stardom was covered, flower beds of bright beach umbrellas blossomed on the sands of the beach strips. Industry of mass beach holiday China continues to gain momentum.


However, the beaches here are special places, corresponding in the minds of the Chinese almost earthly paradise or at least the ultimate dream of a calm, ideal for luxury holiday corner. There is even a proverb about one of them: "If I became rich, I would meet old age in Hainan." This tropical island and especially the area of ​​the city of Sanya, as if by the eastern gods themselves, is intended for a leisurely beach pastime. Although many young people work in and around Sanya City, Hainan Island with its unique natural conditions known in China, and beyond its borders, as a traditional area of ​​residence of centenarians.


The two main bays of the island, on which the local leisure industry is based, are Yalunwang Bay, around which expensive five-star hotels are located, and Dadonghai Bay, which is closer to the city of Sanya. Hotels in the Yalunwang area are focused, rather, on a secluded, calm and quiet rest. There are few local residents, only a few shopping and entertainment establishments. The surroundings of Sanya are distinguished by a more lively resort life.

Hainan Island - developing resort area... Many hotels have already been built here. And construction continues successfully. The level of hotels located in paradise bays south island, is determined not even by their luxury and level of service, but by their proximity to natural resources islands. And this is primarily the coast and beaches of Sanya. Moreover, the price level even best hotels turns out to be quite acceptable for the citizens of Russia. Agencies and tour operators offering tours to the beaches of Hainan usually announce quite reasonable prices for accommodation in first line hotels, which only wealthy Chinese can afford. The peak influx of tourists from China is February, when China celebrates the New Year.


The warm bays of the island and the beaches of Sanya are not the only thing that attracts people here. There are hot radon springs on the island, which have a healing and rehabilitating effect. At resort hotels there are physiotherapy rooms, clinics of European and traditional Chinese medicine, departments of cosmetology clinics and salons using the famous pearl cosmetics, glorified in ancient Chinese stories. And the pearls themselves, which are rich in the local waters, are not uncommon. As well as products made by the hands of Chinese jewelers from it.


On the beaches of Hainan, you can not only lie on the beach and improve your health - there are a lot of fascinating excursions dedicated to the history and nature of China, traditional crafts of the island, tea tasting and rare dishes of folk and imperial Chinese cuisine. Those who wish can master the basics of calligraphy, take a qigong course, or simply dive in coastal waters with scuba diving - the hotels have a staff of diving instructors. True, unfortunately, local beaches do not always differ in the transparency of water and are not very suitable for photographing the underwater world. The island has a beautiful golf course, an Olympic-class shooting range. For those who like fishing in the sea, boat trips are organized.


The language barrier for vacationers in Sanya is not a hindrance at all - unlike mainland China, where knowledge of foreign languages ​​is not so common, the employees serving the beaches and hotels of Sanya are well explained in English, and many also speak Russian. Many shops, cafes and restaurants on the beaches of China have already acquired Russian signs and plates.

So the places that are rightly called the second Hawaii are ready to greet tourists from Russia with greetings in Russian.

There are over 20 beautiful beaches along the eastern and west coasts Hainan Islands. Still, the best beaches the islands were located in the area of ​​the city of Sanya, in the very south of Hainan.
Sanya is the best place in China for a beach holiday. But if you decide to go here, then it is important which beach you live on.
Yalongwan, Dadonghai, Sanya Bay, Haitan and Pure Water Bay are the 5 main beaches in the Sanya City area of ​​Hainan Island. These are undoubtedly the best beaches in Sanya, and indeed the entire island as a whole.

Beach in the clear water bay

Best beaches in Hainan are located in Yalongwan, Dadonghai and Sanyavan bays. can be proud of myself clean water on the coast, as well as luxury hotels located along the sea.

Vacation here will not be cheap, so even during the peak season, most of the beaches remain half empty. The further these beaches are from the hotels, the fewer people you will meet there. Considering that the total length of the beaches of Yalongwan Bay is about 20 km, then there is plenty to choose from.

The rest on the beaches will be a little cheaper. This is no less clean place than Yalongwan, but these beaches are much smaller in size, so there are more tourists here, and the more people, the more mud. In fact, the beach is quite clean, you just won't be able to relax here in solitude. In addition, the sea is rarely completely calm, so there is the opportunity to go sailing or windsurfing, as well as the largest number of coastal restaurants. Dadonghai is most often chosen for recreation by our tourists. Basically, it takes only 25 minutes to get from Yalongwan to Dadonghai, so if you stop near one of them, it will not be difficult to go to the other.

Not bad Hainan beaches are in the bay, but the area is not yet very well known and the infrastructure is poor. Despite the fact that there are relatively few people here, the water cannot be called perfectly clean. These are the features of the local area of ​​the sea. The cleanest stretch of beaches is in the west wing. This is the cleanest water in the bay. Hotels are located at a decent distance from the beach, so many tourists tend to consider this a disadvantage, although on the other hand it is beautiful place for quiet rest... Of course, the prices here, which are lower than on the beaches of Yalongwan and Dadonghai, will also please.

The best beaches are located near the city, so wherever you stay, you will visit. All beaches are municipal. Almost all are equipped with sun loungers, umbrellas, changing cabins and toilets. Eating outlets are not available on all beaches. Sometimes, to have a snack, you have to go beyond its territory. All this is done to keep the beaches clean.

Images to the material

If you want to visit the beach with your friends, so that no one walks past you, and there are no buildings on the horizon and around, then this is the place for you. Take bus 3 or 26 to Canada international school (三亚 加拿大 国际 学校). If you stand facing the main entrance to the school, then the road to the beach on the right bends around it. Walk along it for about 150 meters to the white building and then to the right along the dirt path.

Up there is a gentle ascent, walk about 15 minutes to a small building, from which the path turns sharply to the left. After this turn, you need to walk 30 meters and turn right onto a forest path down to the sea.

In 10 minutes you will find yourself on the beach. In June, the water level is lower than, for example, in October and there is more sand on the beach. Now it is more comfortable to enter the water in calm weather. Go left - get ready to meet wild monkeys. It is better to return from the beach before sunset, or with a flashlight, as later on the road you can find a snake crawling to hunt.

Hainan Island is an established resort with beautiful beaches and comfortable hotels... The towns are located in the south of the island, near the most famous local tourist center called Sanya. Russian tourists love to spend their holidays here, admire the picturesque views of the tropics and enjoy their vacation by the South China Sea.
The main areas visited by travelers from all over the world are Yalongwan, Dadonghai and Sanyavan. It always reigns here hot weather because the sun shines all year round.

Yalongwan is a paradise beach in Hainan.

The famous Chinese resort Yalong Wan is located in the bay of the same name. The beach here stretches as far as 20 kilometers! Some of its parts remain deserted even in the season of the influx of tourists. It beckons with its snow-white sand, oncoming turquoise waves and hot sun, which gives the skin an amazing tan. The entire beach area is divided between 5 luxury hotels, which have their own restaurants serving local dishes to everyone. Its main difference is that it is based on the preparation of fish.

However, even outside these complexes, you can satisfy your hunger in cafes or taverns and find quite affordable housing to settle for the night. It should be noted that the prices here are much higher than at other resorts, but the sea is really the cleanest. From the beach you can see rocks and beautiful birds that made their nests. After relaxing on the beach, you can go to the city center and get unforgettable experience from visiting the Butterfly Gorge and the Seashell Museum.

Luxurious Dadonghai Bay Beach.

Dadonghai Bay, whose shape resembles a crescent moon, attracts vacationers with its magnificent beaches, stretching for 2 kilometers along coastline... Dadonghai is located a few kilometers from the city of Sanya and attracts vacationers with dazzling white beach sand, azure sea ​​water so transparent that you can see underwater world the sea in all its glory. Mangoes and pineapples grow in abundance around the beach, and tourists tired of sunbathing on the beach can hide from the hot southern sun in the shade of palm trees and other tropical trees.

Dadonghai Resort has long become a favorite vacation spot for Russian tourists, which is understandable, because here great hotels, the highest quality of service and complete comfort at the resort itself. The beaches of the bay are equipped with everything you need: there are sun loungers, umbrellas, showers and changing rooms. The price, of course, corresponds to the quality, but many believe that it is cheaper to vacation in Dadonghai than in Yalongwan.
In addition to lying on the beach all day, vacationers can surf and dive in the coastal waters, since no less than interesting world... Tired of the beach, you can go to one of the local restaurants, which are comfortably located along the promenade. Tourists can also visit the magnificent landscape park, a reindeer nursery and admire the ethnographic buildings.

The deserted Sanyavan beach.

Sanya resort can also be included in the list of visited places on the island of Hainan. But, compared to previous beach towns, this one is the least visited, as its infrastructure is under development. Accordingly, the price of accommodation in hotels is lower, although they also have a 4 and 5 star category.
There are much fewer vacationers on the beaches, they can even be called deserted. In the west of the Sanyavan Bay there is very clean and transparent water, but closer to "civilization" the sand on the beach is finer and darker, so sometimes it seems that the water is muddy. Tropical trees grow around the beach and you can admire exotic views of the islets, go fishing and, of course, sunbathe and swim.

Hotels are located further away, many consider this a disadvantage of this resort. Many cafes will provide a first-class menu, where almost all dishes include seafood, and lovers of "delicacies" will be served delicious Italian and European food. Here you can visit the tropical aquarium, the garden with seabirds and the park "End of the World".

Russian tourists usually choose expensive resorts and luxury hotels in Hainan, but locals prefer remote and cheap hotels. One of these places is the Luhoitou Peninsula. Here you can also relax on the beaches, enjoying the local natural beauty, but they are too rocky, and many vacationers do not like it.
Speaking about the beaches of Hainan Island, one cannot single out, they all have a high quality standard, since the local municipality monitors their condition. These beaches can be called unique due to the preserved ecology and picturesque views. Every year the flow of tourists increases, and the island of Hainan is gaining more and more fame in the world.
