China's best beach, called 'Oriental Hawaii' - Yalong Bay is the crème de la crème of Chinese beaches. Seven kilometers of soft white crescent-shaped sand meets crystal-clear turquoise water. Only five-star resorts line the bay - Ritz-Carlton, Marriott, Sheraton, Park Hyatt. The best snorkeling in Sanya with warm water year-round and visibility reaching 10 meters. Prices are premium but the quality is unmatched. The beach is well-maintained with fewer vendors than other Sanya beaches. Water is consistently warm, never dropping below 20°C even in winter.
