Yunlong Bay is located at the Wenchang City of Hainan Province and about 20 min drive from the foot of the popular Bronze Drum Ridge. It’s not a famous place of interest compared with Wuzhi Mountain or Wanquan River. Very few tourists visit here and the natural view is preserved well. Therefore, if you don’t favor the popular but noisy Sanya and want to find a quiet and nice place for holiday, here it is.
The average depth in Yunlong Bay is 12-20m and is suitable for both snorkeling and scuba diving. You can also fish with the local fishermen and enjoy the fun in the process and finally barbecue the food you get by yourself in the coconut tree forest. At night, catching the crabs along the coast is also a big pleasure.
Due to the distinctive geological condition in the Rock Garden, diving there will be a unique experience. On the seabed were huge rocks surrounding the bay, some exposing the tip above water. The beach is gradual and water is calm and shallow within the bay (up to 5-6m) with great visibility. Lobster, crab, stonefish, porcupine fish take habitats around these rocks.
Observing the reef under the sea is another feature of Yunlong Bay. Visitors can take the boat which is equipped with a mirror under the water and watch the colorful coral reef. Between the corals, fishes of various colors and shapes are freely swimming, big and small crabs climbing across the ray, sea clams flapping their shells and clusters of algae dancing with their green sleeves. What a lively underwater world.
