in yalongbay you don´t see any hotels from the beach, it´s large, and probably not really crowded in the main season either. Fantastic beach, very white sand, palm trees, sea was very clean, very soothing after dadonghai! But behind the beach the whole place is totally sterile- just resorts, nothing in the way of little shops or bars or restaurants More

Pretty beach, but nothing much. Better if you want to stay away from the crowds from downtown. Taxi to/from there may be 60+ RMB during the day. At 3 in the morning they made me pay 180 RMB from the airport More

Loved the white sand and clear blue waters. Although out of the way, it was worth it given the ocean water. There are a few tiny islands that you can go to by boat. Disliked the throngs of people that go there every weekend which makes it hard to find a good spot to spend the day. We stayed at... More

Better sand and less crowded than Sanya bay. Similar to Phuket in Thailand, however prices of games are higher compared to Phuket. More

One of the best beach to go around at Sanya, a long coastline but not too wide. Best thing to do is to hire a boat to go a one secluded sandy area at the end of the beach. the location is inaccessible by land, therefore it makes a good private beach. I paid around 500 yuan for 5 person,... More

I was not expecting what I saw upon entering Yalong Bay. This is a bustling port, bustling city with fantastic architecture and more being built in all directions - city on the fast track. The boat traffice could have entertained me for hours on end. The variety of fishing boats - old, new, tiny, large; of container ships, cruise ships,... More

It looks like Waikiki Beach in Hawaii except that it is in a tropical island, beautiful though it is. There are lots of sporting activities one can indulge in if sea sports if one's kind of thing. Too commercialized and crowded for one to enjoy the beach. More
