A golden beach facing the Gulf of Tonkin in western Ledong. Facing due west over the open sea, it dyes sea and sky gold at sunset and is hailed by photographers as the "most beautiful sunset beach"; backlit portraits and silhouettes on the evening sand yield stunning shots. The long shoreline sees few visitors, and facilities center on local fishing villages and a handful of resorts, making it ideal for travelers seeking an unspoiled coast. The adjacent Jianfengling National Forest Park is home to China's first national tropical rainforest park, and a two-day "beach + rainforest" itinerary is the classic combination for an in-depth tour of southwest Hainan.
Getting there: Self-drive / shuttle bus from Ledong
