A bit expensive but so close to China for a weekend escape...The beaches are great, the sea is clean and the many luxury hotels offer a large variety of activities and sports for holidaymakers and fine restaurants ranging from Thai ( at the Yalong Bay national resort was one of our favourites) to Italian ...

That is the best beach I have seen in China so far. The sand looks white and the sea looks clear. Comparing to other beaches in China or even in Sanya, this one is what a beach should look like and it has all best hotels around it. Many acitivities to do as well. Very good for short holidays (You... More

beautiful white beaches, clear water... if you go to a resort that has also a private beach, then also not crowded. Perfect place for a gate away!

This is an excellent beach, kept very clean and at least while we were there, not very crowded. Water is very clean and for the most part even in bad weather protected enough to have only slight to moderate surf conditions. Some food & beverage along the beach, lots of places to jet-ski or take a boat ride if you... More

It's a perfect place for swimming in the sea, but since a lots of hotels are built along the Yalong beach, one next to another, it makes this bay a bit crowded.

Nice beach, very clean, and environment is great. But not convenient for finding a restaurant, better take your meal with you.

Total tourism Chinese style. Nothing special. Pricey. Not so bad if you keep to the right hand end of the beach.

When you come a place like this and you are paying top prices at top brand hotels you expect that you a paying for good standards and clean places including the beach and maybe that the beach is full of bottles of water,empty cans, empty cigarette packages, and food packages is not the hotels fault but you would imagine that...

Good sea views, but the quality of facilities depends on your hotel. Lots of motorized sports for those that like them. Swimming areas are not even 2m deep.

There are 30 hotels in a row. We entered through the Ritz and had a lovely walk on the beach. There is little space between each of the hotels. The beach was very blue and clean.
