A Feast of the Sea, the Shore, and the Sun
If this is your first time to Sanya — "the best destination for a beach holiday in China" — there are some matters you have to sort out before going...
- Which hotel on which beach should I choose?
- Are the attractions loved by Chinese tourists really worthy of a visit?
- How can I have fun at the sea while avoiding tourist traps?
The planning is more complicated than what you expect for a beach holiday. This 5-day Sanya tour selects the best beach for first-time visitors, skips the commercial attractions, and ensures you uncompromised fun with the ocean, the beach, and the sun.

Mark. The Best Beijing Guide!
![]() He met our every need above and beyond our expectations. My family of 6 had such a wonderful and memorable holiday.He is patient, well-versed and eloquent in both English and Mandarin. My Chinese-speaking parents and my English-dominant children clearly understood all that was explained. He included insights and aspects at each attraction that is not commonly known expanding our appreciation of the places we went. No questions too big and requests too small.. Every meal he arranged over the 5 days was very thoughtfully planned and had such variety that we were spoilt and well fed indeed. We will certainly look for Mark again on our next trip to Beijing and strongly recommend him to all and sundry if they plan to visit Beijing. more

7 day Beijing trip with China Highlights
![]() We were in Beijing for 7 days and went to the Great Wall, Gubei Watertown, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Lama Temple, Beihai Park, Confucius Temple, Ming and Qing Tombs. Also went to watch the Acrobatic Show and the Golden Mask Show. The views are fantastic and the shows are amazing. Our tour guide, Colin, from China Highlights was awesome. He planned our itinerary flawlessly and took us to restaurants that served great authentic local food. Colin is very caring of my elderly mother and provided superb service. Thank you, Colin, for making my trip memorable. more
