Read a representative passage
Sanya(三亚) is not one continuous resort strip. Yalong Bay(亚龙湾) is the strongest all-round choice for a classic beach day, Haitang Bay(海棠湾) is built around large destination resorts and Tianya Haijiao Scenic Area(天涯海角游览区) is a landscaped coastal attraction centred on famous inscribed rocks and cultural symbolism. They serve different purposes.
