A pristine 12-km bay on the east coast of Lingshui; the sand is fine and clean with an extremely low silt content and "sings" underfoot when walked on barefoot—hence the name "Singing Sand Beach," a rarity even among similar beaches worldwide. The Agile Qingshui Bay resort stretches along the coast, where hotel clusters and public beach strips coexist, and visitors may freely use certain swimming sections. Compared with Sanya Bay, the water is clearer and the crowds thinner—ideal for travelers seeking a quiet holiday and long seaside walks; it is about a 30-minute taxi ride from Lingshui high-speed rail station.
Getting there: From Lingshui high-speed rail station by taxi / self-drive
