Shimei Bay, with its pristine scenery, is located on the eastern coast of Wanning City. The silver sand beaches are surrounded by densely vegetated mountain slopes, so there is ocean on one side and forest on the other. Occasionally, a fishing boat with a heavy catch will be seen bobbing out in the water, a scene unique to the South China Sea. There is a small, pristine, uninhabited island in the bay called Jiajing Island, which is a popular destination for snorkelers and divers.

Show More ReviewsShimei Bay, Wanning, Hainan. Located on the eastern coast of Liji Town, Wanning City, Hainan Province, within the 18°N golden resort belt, this resort area is developed by China Resources. It's about a 10-minute taxi ride from Shenzhou High-Speed Railway Station, closer than Wanning Station. Boasting approximately 6 kilometers of silver-white sand beach, it comprises two crescent-shaped bays, backed by a globally rare thousand-year-old coastal green forest, and opposite the uninhabited Jiajing Island (a filming location for "If You Are the One 2," a diving paradise). The beach is free to enter; the sand is fine, the water is clean, and it's quiet with few people. There are high-end hotels such as Le Méridien and Westin, Phoenix Jiuli Bookstore (Hainan's most beautiful bookstore), an international yacht club, and a coastal highway. Book clubs and art exhibitions are frequently held, and water sports include snorkeling, sailing, and surfing. The core area attracts many tourists; it's a great place to watch the sunrise or sunset. Public transportation from the city center is available, but taxis and cars are even more convenient.
