Dive in Hainan

Travel to Hainan

Hainan is China's tropical paradise. The island of Hainan is approximately the same latitude as Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) and it reminds me of the beaches of Mexico.

Stretching to the South West of Sanya is the Lu Huitou Peninsula. To the West of the peninsula is Sanya Bay and to the East is Yulin Bay. Nearly, the entire peninsula is surrounded by coral reefs which come under the Hainan Sanya Natural Coral Reef Nature Reserve.

The reserve encompasses two other coral reef areas: Yalong Bay, a few miles East of Sanya; and, directly West of Sanya, Xi Mao and Dong Mao Islands, in Sanya Bay.

The reserve, which is responsible for the protection of the only coral reefs within the P. R. (Peoples Republic of) China, has achieved gratifying results in coral ecosystem recovery, public awareness, environment education, research, and eco-travel activities of the reefs.
