Holiday Beach is a major recreational resort in the west of Haikou City. The beach, some 6 km (about 3.7 miles) long, enjoys a wonderful climate (average temperature of 75.2 degrees Fahrenheit), with sparkling waters, waving coconut trees, and plenty of sunshine and blue skies.
The Guanjingtai Plaza provides excellent sightseeing and a wide variety of restaurants and bars to satisfy every palate. On the beach there is a wide range of family entertainment: the Music Square, a roller-skating course, a Children's Movement Center, the Kingdom of Butterflies, etc.
Admission: free.
How to get there: take bus 28 or 40.
Travel tip: An unusual feature of the Holiday Beach Resort is the 'kissing fish'. They will nibble at your body to provide delightful underwater skin-cleansing care. So weird!
