Sanya East Coast: Floating Villages, Beaches & CDF Shopping｜China

Qingshui Bay Beach: Often called one of Sanya’s most beautiful beaches, Qingshui Bay is known for its crystal-clear waters, soft sand, and gentle surf. Less commercialized than nearby beaches, it offers a more natural, open setting perfect for walking barefoot or taking stunning coastal photos.

Hainan Danjia Museum: This cultural gem introduces you to the Danjia people—Hainan’s “ocean nomads.” Housed in a traditional wooden stilt structure, the museum displays authentic fishing gear, handcrafted tools, and detailed exhibits on the Danjia's boat-dwelling lifestyle. A great chance to explore an often-overlooked part of China’s ethnic diversity.

Danjia Fishing Village: Step onto a local “sea bus” and sail across Lingshui Bay to visit real floating fish farms and Danjia homes. Watch fishermen at work, feed the fish, and chat with local families living on the water. This immersive, off-the-beaten-path experience offers rare insight into a disappearing way of life.

CDF Sanya International Duty-Free Mall: With hundreds of international brands and sleek interiors, CDF Mall is China’s luxury shopping destination by the sea. Take a short break to browse beauty, fashion, and local souvenirs at unbeatable tax-free prices. A great place to cool off, window shop, or grab a snack before the evening.
