Best Hotels in Sanya

Sanya, the southernmost city in China, has over 40 kilometers of coastline dedicated to tourism, thanks to the recent arrival of many plush international resorts. The city, known for its tropical climate and for being the training site of the Chinese national volleyball team, offers several outdoor sports, like rock-climbing and scuba diving. Visitors should head to the Guanyin Statue of Hainan, a 108-meter-high Buddhist statue completed in 2005, and to Deer Turning Park, where a large stone statue above the harbour tells the history of the region. Yalong Bay, one of many popular bays in the area, is a major tourist beach in the east of Sanya City where visitors enjoy a carefree, holiday vibe. Families may also enjoy visiting a butterfly museum and shell aquarium.
