The latest-developed and most "upscale" of Sanya's bays, officially designated the "National Coast", with the International Duty-Free City, Atlantis Sanya, Shangri-La and other first-tier hotel clusters lined up along the shore, creating a quiet, high-end resort atmosphere. The pier for Wuzhizhou Island is located here, and the wetlands at the mouth of the Tengqiao River preserve pristine mangroves. With a long bay line and wide open beaches, it suits slow hotel-based vacations and family trips; it is about a 50-minute drive from Phoenix Airport, or you can take the eastern high-speed rail line to Lingshui Station and transfer, as its transport routes are relatively independent.
Getting there: Self-drive from Phoenix Airport / high-speed rail to Lingshui Station, then transfer
