China Hainan Tour

Bordered by clear sea, Hainan Island's Sanya is an ideal place for water entertainment. Besides tasting fresh seafood and enjoying exotic natural beauties,

you must try exciting water sports, such as diving, walking on the seafloor, and surfing. Among them, the various kinds of diving are most popular with visitors,

since Sanya is the best diving resort in the world. In addition, Wuzhizhou Island is the top zone for diving where water visibility can reach 27 meters (88.6 feet).

Various water entertainments include the following:

Skin diving: This kind of diving needs no air tank and the time you remain in water depends on your lung stamina.

Shore diving: Training with an air tank is necessary before attempting shore diving. Depending upon your physical condition, you can dive to a depth of from

four meters (about 13 feet) to ten meters (about 32.8 feet). A mysterious underwater world is waiting for you.

Boat diving: Most of the facilities that you use are the same as with shore diving, but you drop yourself into the water from a yacht. Assisted by a coach, you

can dive to depths of ten meters to eighteen meters (about 59 feet).

Night diving: Similar to shore diving, after dusk underwater scenes are totally different from daytime. The sea is more mysterious at night.

Semi-diving sightseeing boat: Suitable for these who want to enjoy various corals, tropical fishes and other sea denizens without getting wet. You simply sit in

a cabin and enjoy the view through specially designed windows.

Price: CNY160 per person for half an hour

Fishing: Offshore fishing from yacht and platform, bank fishing and night fishing are offered here.

Price: Yacht fishing is CNY300 per person for 2 hours; platform fishing is CNY140 per person for 2 hours.

Bank fishing is CNY100 per person for 2 hours; night fishing is CNY300 per person.

Besides these designations, diving categories are divided according to water zones. In addition, you can drive a motorboat, banana boat, luxury jetboat or a

jalor by yourself.

Nightlife

Owning to Sanya's tropical climate, most of the locals' activities takes place after dusk. Therefore, experiencing Sanya's nightlife is the best way for you to

participate in the local life. There are nightclubs where you could feel the vigor of this newly emerged tourist city. Generally, these clubs are in star-rated

hotels. For example, Lidu Night Club of Sanya Maintint Hotel and Huangchao Night Club of Sanya Guoxi Hotel are two popular places for nightlife. If you want a

quiet place to enjoy the night beauty of Sanya, the Coffee Time Western Food Restaurant is recommended. Located in the Lanhai Garden of Bin Hai Road, it
