Yalong Bay Central Square

Sanya Yalong Bay Central Plaza is a key landmark leading to the bay. Its giant totem poles, imbued with Li ethnic culture, are perfect for photo opportunities. The Shell Museum in the center of the plaza showcases rare shell specimens from around the world, offering a fascinating educational experience. Surrounded by swaying coconut trees, the white sandy beach is just a 5-minute walk away, making it a seamless transition to a beach day. The plaza offers convenience stores and restaurants, but it's heavily commercialized, so it's recommended to stay for about an hour to combine a beach day with a relaxing beach day. It's a perfect stopover on your Yalong Bay itinerary, offering a fusion of tropical charm and convenient amenities.

It's a big square with a lot of things to buy.

Located 28 kilometers southeast of Sanya City, the square's totem poles rise toward the sky, while its sculptures extend toward the earth and sea.

It is a place to eat and buy things in the middle of Yalong Bay

The sea water is probably the best, and it is the most commercialized area.

While Yalong Bay Central Square itself isn't particularly impressive, it's a landmark of the city, particularly its totem pole, comprised of over 200 massive granite blocks and 2.5-meter-diameter aluminum alloy columns. This attracts numerous visitors for photo opportunities. The totem pole, the highest point of the square, is carved with images of a dragon, phoenix, sunbird, fish, and the four gods of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. Surrounding the central sculpture area of ​​the totem pole are three stone circles: the first features the four seasons—the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise—along with a sundial depicting the 24 solar terms. The second depicts eight ancient myths: Pangu creating the world, Nuwa mending the sky, Chang'e flying to the moon, the dancing Ganqi (steed) with a shield, Dayu controlling the floods, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Houyi shooting down the sun, and Kuafu chasing the sun. The third depicts astronomy, humans, animals, plants, and all living things, as well as eight ancient Chinese gods. The totem pole and sculptures seamlessly integrate, embodying a strong sense of ancient Chinese astronomy and Eastern mysticism. The five groups of white sail-like pointed tents and large colorful fountains designed on the periphery of the square add a modern touch to the sculptures with ancient cultural connotations.

Yalong Bay Landmark, a large waterscape platform on the Yalong Bay beach, where you can overlook the entire Yalong Bay seascape

From here along the beach to the underwater world side, it belongs to the public beach area. Many tourists empty themselves here and chase the waves. In short, I am very satisfied.

The overall service is very good. Although the consumption is high, the service is up to par. It is worthy of being the most popular family hotel!

This is probably the only place in Yalong Bay that can be considered a place for shopping. There are supermarkets and some places to eat.

Yalong Bay Central Square is a large water recreation area with great water. It is as big as the Yalong Bay first-line sea view hotel. There are many water projects and many people soliciting customers, but I just strolled around. There are many places to eat, drink and have fun around. It is also very close. In short, it is a good beach.

Sanya, the Oriental Hawaii, is a paradise spoiled by God, where it is summer all year round, the waters are warm and the winds are calm.



Yalong Bay combines ocean, beach and sunshine, comparable to any internationally renowned tropical coastal resort.



Dadonghai has a high overall cost-effectiveness ratio. The price of sea view rooms is comparable to that of mountain view rooms in Yalong Bay. There is a direct airport bus.

You can overlook the beach. If you are not staying at the Yalong Bay Hotel, you can come and take a look. Relatively speaking, there are more people. It may be because the sunlight is not so strong in the evening, so everyone comes out to play.

Very good, very suitable for vacation travel and relaxing to see the sea! I will come again next time

The first time I went there was in the winter of 2011. At that time, I could play freely on Yalong Bay Beach. Then I went there again in the winter of 2016. Because of some music festival, the beautiful beach was closed and I could not enter for free.

You can go to Yalong Bay to see it, it can be said to be an iconic building.

Yalong Bay Central Plaza is located 28 kilometers southeast of Sanya City. Its totem poles rise toward the sky, while its sculptures extend toward the earth and sea. Its grandeur and unique artistic form, within the confines of a limited artistic space, invite our imaginations to expand into the infinite. The towering totem pole, the highest point of the plaza, stands 26.8 meters tall and is composed of over 200 massive granite blocks and a 2.5-meter-diameter aluminum alloy column. Carved on it are images of a dragon, phoenix, sunbird, fish, and the four gods of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.

It's just a square, and it's very hot under the sun.

It is about 1 kilometer from the Underwater World to the Yalong Bay Central Square. We walked along the path by the sea and could see the beach from time to time. The clouds in the sky gradually thickened and it was already very dark on the other side of the mountain. However, the sea was okay, but the speed at which the clouds moved was amazing.

The square is not big, and the stone in the middle stands out independently.

Yalong Bay is still worth a visit, it is the best beach in the world.

A square is a charging project, which adds a dark color to Sanya's business card. I don't know what the local tourism bureau is doing.

Sanya's signature square, if you haven't been here, you haven't really been to Sanya

I love you so much, I will take you far away.

I went there many years ago, arriving in Sanya from Hebei. My first reaction was, "What a blue sky! What a fresh air!" However, the attractions were average, nothing special, and the central square didn't seem to have much to offer. I spent a few minutes there before moving on to the next attraction.

This is actually a large seafood market with a wide variety of seafood, which is then processed right next to the market. The market is very standardized and prices are clearly marked. There are disabled access roads and other well-equipped paths. There seems to be an underwater world zoo in the center of the square, but we didn't go there.

If you live in Yalong Bay, there is no need to go to this place. After all, the hotel near the sea is right outside the sea.

The square is quite big and the air is good, but I didn’t stay long due to time constraints.

It's pretty good. There are also many seafood barbecues nearby, which is very lively at night.

There are small commercial streets around the central square, and the people are more lively than those around the hotel.

It is worthy of being called the No. 1 Bay in the world, with picturesque scenery.

Once you reach Yalong Bay, you'll reach the central square, which is just a square. Haha.

Don't bother buying a ticket to go in. There's really nothing to see. Just look at it from the outside. It's just a big pillar.

I went there a long time ago with a tour group. It was a quick tour, seeing all the usual sights. I didn't find anything special, except for the fine white sand and clear water on the white beach, but nothing else. The food on the tour group was terrible, and there were a lot of shopping options. I'd definitely go on my own next time if I get the chance.

Located 28 kilometers southeast of Sanya City, the totem pole stands at the highest point of the square, standing 26.8 meters tall. Composed of over 200 massive granite blocks and a 2.5-meter-diameter aluminum alloy column, it is carved with images of a dragon, phoenix, sunbird, fish, and the four gods of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, symbolizing good luck.

This attraction is crowded, but the beach is okay.

The original square next to the Yalong Bay public beach has now been transformed into the Yalong Bay Alpine Seaside Park, with more amusement facilities.

A gathering place for tourists, from which you can enter the beach of Yalong Bay

Introduction to Yalong Bay Central Plaza:

The central square rises to the blue sky with totem poles and extends to the earth and the sea with sculptures. Its grandeur and unique artistic modeling guide our imagination to expand to infinite space in a limited artistic space.

Totem Pole

The totem pole, the highest point in the square, stands 26.8 meters tall. It is composed of over 200 massive granite blocks and a 2.5-meter-diameter aluminum alloy column. Carvings depict the dragon, phoenix, sunbird, fish, and the four gods of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. The square was originally a mass grave site for wartime events.

Central Sculpture Area

Three circles of stone carvings are formed around the central sculpture area of ​​the totem pole, which are grand and unique in image: the first circle has the four seasons symbols of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise and the 24 solar terms sculptures of the sundial; the second circle respectively depicts eight ancient myths, namely Pangu creating the world, Nuwa mending the sky, Chang'e flying to the moon, Nong Tian dancing with Gan Qi, Dayu controlling the flood, Cowherd and Weaver Girl, Houyi shooting the sun and Kuafu chasing the sun; the third circle reflects astronomy, humans, animals, plants, all living things and eight ancient Chinese gods.

The totem poles and sculptures seamlessly blend together, creating a strong sense of ancient Chinese astronomy and Eastern mysticism. Five groups of white, sail-like, pointed tents and a large, colorful fountain surrounding the square add a modern touch to the sculptures' ancient cultural significance.

The China-TravelNote hotel bus pick-up and drop-off point in Yalong Bay is at the central square.

There's nothing to go there, just a sign.

Just past the square, you'll reach the beach. The sun was strong, so there wasn't much to see.

This is just above the Yalong Bay Beach. There is a landmark carved stone pillar. We didn't go in, so I can't say much about it. You need to pay 50 yuan for the entrance fee. It's better to swim more if you have this time.

Passing by the scenic spot, the pillar is considered the landmark building of Yalong Bay.

Personally, I think there is nothing to see here. I don't know why it is listed as a tourist attraction. I stayed in Yalong Bay at night and took a walk to see it.

Close to Lily Valley, you will definitely pass by it when you come to Yalong Bay, so there is no need to visit it specifically

The air is good and the scenery is beautiful! The battery car is very cool, running all over the mountain is exciting

Most people who have been to Sanya have been to Yalong Bay. The Yalong Bay Central Square is here. It is quite big and worth a visit.

For me, a child who grew up by the sea, Yalong Bay has no appeal to me at all, but I believe that it must be very exciting for many children from the mountains.

A stone pillar. Uh, let's focus on the sea.

Sanya is really a good place to travel. It feels really good as a natural oxygen bar.

There are too many people going there and it is overdeveloped.

I feel like this place is reserved for group tourists who come to Yalong Bay for a tour.

Most people who have been to Sanya have been to Yalong Bay. The Yalong Bay Central Square is here. It is quite big and worth a visit.

Located in the center of Yalong Bay, it should be a must-visit place for some group tours. There is a totem pole in the center of the square, but I don’t understand what it means. There are many places to eat around, and the cost performance is very low

It's really nice. There were not many people when I went there. There is a square and you can see the sea directly.

This is just a landmark square in Yalong Bay, okay?

When I went there, the square was being renovated and was surrounded by fences. I had been there more than ten years ago and felt it was just average, with no special feelings.

Mainly the places to eat, some seafood restaurants are obviously overcharging customers, while some restaurants are okay, but generally more expensive.

Cycling along the Sanya Bay for a day was fantastic, free, and the scenery was much better than at other places that charge a fee. I came to Sanya just to see the sea.

If you go with a tour group, you will definitely go there. The sea in Hainan is beautiful.

The scenery is beautiful, otherwise I would not shoot here.

Overall it's good, the environment is beautiful and the sea water is very clear, but there are too many people and the supporting facilities are not perfect.

It's a place you'll visit when you come to Sanya. There aren't many surprises.

It's boring, not worth the time and effort to go there

Located next to the Yalong Bay Huayu Hotel, there are many places to eat in the central square. Starbucks, Haagen-Dazs, and Pizza Hut are relatively standard prices, while other restaurants are relatively expensive.

I went there many years ago, so the memory is a bit distant. I remember that there were not many people there at that time.

The totem pole, the highest point of the square, stands 26.8 meters tall and is composed of over 200 massive granite and aluminum alloy columns. Carved with images of dragons, phoenixes, birds, fish, and the four gods of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, the totem and sculptures blend seamlessly into one, creating a strong sense of ancient Chinese astronomy and Eastern mysticism. Four white, sail-like, pointed tents add a modern touch to the square, steeped in ancient cultural significance.

The Central Plaza, with its majestic momentum and unique imagination, stretches into infinite space, depicting rising totems and sculptures reaching toward the earth and the sea. Located in the heart of the Yalong Bay National Tourism Resort, adjacent to the ocean, the Yalong Bay Central Plaza covers over 70,000 square meters and houses a large parking lot, a reception center, a restaurant, a shopping center, a food court, and a marine activity center. It is a comprehensive plaza integrating tourism, gatherings, receptions, dining, and entertainment, and is a landmark building within the resort.

A large-scale environmental art installation, a totem sculpture complex, stands in the center of Yalong Bay Central Plaza. The sculpture complex centers on a 27-meter-tall totem pole, with three circles of stone formations and a circle of sculptures depicting the 24 solar terms at its base. The totem pole is round inside and square outside, with carved images rising from all directions around it.

You can rest and eat here. It is quite open and you can go to the beach to play.

Playing in the water at the beach, a nice place, more people than

An old tourist attraction with good water quality, but there are always many tourists

The scenery is very good. It's a good place for leisure and vacation.

The water in Yalong Bay is clean, but the prices are really too high.

The scenery of the central square is okay, although the plants are not as lush as in other places, but I feel it is worth a visit. Since I also like Feng Shui, I think it is okay.

The beaches of any hotel in the Yalong Bay Resort are connected to the Yalong Bay Plaza. Please note that there is no need to buy additional tickets.

The central sculpture area around the totem pole forms three circles of stone formations, which are magnificent and unique. The first circle has the four seasons symbols of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise, as well as the sundial sculptures of the 24 solar terms.

A must-go place to enter Yalong Bay, a wide square facing the sea and a relaxing beach.
