Facing Qizi Bay, the most beautiful coastline in Hainan, what is it like to stay at the palace-class hotel Kaiyuan Resort?
Preface
Waves of cold fronts have been arriving recently, seemingly signaling the arrival of winter overnight. With the chilly wind piercing my sleeves, I'm no longer able to resist it with just my righteous energy. Many people around me are already preparing to fly to an island for warmth.
I have found this niche destination for you: a place with few people, beautiful scenery, many flights, high cost-effectiveness, and no need to take a long vacation!
Here, you will find the best spot for watching the sunset over the sea on the west coast of China. It is one of the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Coasts in Hainan", the last pristine virgin bay on the west coast of Hainan, and the true Cape of the End of the World.
This is Qizi Bay.
Chess Bay at the End of the World
The last pristine bay on the West Coast
Qizi Bay is located on the west coast of Hainan Island, leaning against Changhua Ridge in the east and connected to the sea in the west. It is about 20 kilometers long from east to west, with many rocks, sand and calm waves.
"Thousands of beautiful rocks cluster on the beach, and tens of thousands of acres of desert fall to the south of the sea."
Its pristine ecology is its killer feature that wins people's hearts. Natural stone landscapes of various shapes and sizes are scattered throughout the bay, and the snow-white sand beach connects the sea and the sky, making it an ideal place for sunbathing and sand bathing.
This is China's west coast—a narrow strip of land beyond the horizon is Vietnam;
This is a peaceful sea east of the Beibu Gulf, and a small desert embraced by the sea. Cacti, wild pineapples and casuarinas are the main plants here.
This is a virgin land on the west side of Hainan that has not yet been fully cultivated. It is an area that retains its original beauty and biodiversity, the most moving of which is a group of clean reefs.
This bay is composed of three rustic names: Big Cape, Middle Cape and Little Cape. Because of their simplicity, they may also be the real Cape of the End of the World.
Here is the Changhua River—have you ever seen "a river of spring water flowing westward"? A river originating from Wuzhi Mountain flows from here into the Beibu Gulf, giving birth to the ancestors of the Li people on both sides of the river;
Here is King Junling - have you ever heard that a huge rock standing on the hillside was canonized as a king by emperors of several dynasties, becoming a god and protecting the fishermen who go out to sea to make a living?
Here is Bawangling—did you know that the gibbons of Bawangling are a nationally protected rare species? And the "King of Trees" in Bawangling is over 300 years old.
Here you can enjoy the rare "sunset at sea" landscape in China - when the sun passes through the clouds, slowly approaches and sinks into the horizon, the warm sunset will dye the sea surface golden. At this time, you can experience what "magnificence" is.
The beaches, reefs, and coastal windbreaks here create a unique landscape. Visitors commented on Qizi Bay: "When I first saw Qizi Bay, the azure sea and sky left me feeling overwhelmed. It was not only a shock to the eyes, but also a shock to the soul."

Han and Tang Dynasty palaces facing the sea
Thousands of years of waves have beaten against the star-shaped rocky shore, and the ten-mile-long beach has become a chessboard. Once a move is made, wind and thunder roar, and the game between heaven and earth unfolds in the human world.
This undeveloped and pristine bay has magnificent scenery that few people know about. Perhaps it was because it lacked a comfortable and safe place to stay in the past, forcing people to move and make other choices.
But now, Qizi Bay has welcomed a palace-style hotel, where you can face the sea, appreciate the blue sky and white clouds, waves and sails, and fall into a sweet dream surrounded by the romance of the sea and sky!

The resort is built on the mountainside and by the sea, covering an area of 110,000 square meters. The excellent view will satisfy your desire to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ten-mile long beach. It is the first choice for countless island vacation lovers.
Unlike many hotels in Hainan, this hotel has a vast sea horizon and beautiful sunset and evening glow views at sea, showing the unique side of the "West Coast of China".
There are no rows of buildings or noisy commercial facilities here, but there are birds singing and flowers blooming, and the leisurely and elegant feeling of "the chirping of cicadas makes the forest even quieter".
The resort was designed by WATG, an American design firm known in the industry as a "dream factory." The magnificent, antique-inspired Oriental classical design, combined with the tropical charm of Hainan's coconut groves, creates a unique visual experience for the entire garden complex. The isolated "Han and Tang Dynasty Palace" exudes a grand, solemn, and ancient atmosphere.
Entering the hotel lobby, the centrally symmetrical layout, a thousand-year-old exquisite beauty, creates a visually pleasing and dignified atmosphere. The outward-facing Chinese-style floor-to-ceiling windows offer a 180-degree panoramic sea view.
The spacious and bright lobby is effortlessly clean from every angle. Check-in is no longer a monotonous wait; you can gaze out at the vast ocean horizon and the gentle waves, listening to the waves crashing in.
Enjoy the stunning sunset on the West Coast
The pavilions and towers are arranged in an orderly manner, resembling ancient city towers, and the towers face the unobstructed Qizi Bay.
The sun rises over the sea in the east and sets in the west. The hotel's fifth-floor lobby observation deck is the perfect spot for watching the sunset. In the evening, the magnificent sunset over the sea is breathtaking, with the waves reflecting a vibrant array of colors, creating a dreamlike experience.
When the warmth on the horizon gradually spreads, you may want to stand in front of the "city tower" and take a photo with the golden crow that is about to fall into the sea. It is in no way inferior to any popular Internet attraction.
Hike along the wooden plank road to encounter a romantic cape
Hike along the hotel's greenway to the coastal boardwalk. Take in the breathtaking views of the west coast, with its blue sky, clear sea, and fine sand.
Occasionally, a few fishing boats pass by on the endless sea. There are no lights from thousands of houses in the distance, only the fishing lights accompanied by the sunset, which is so beautiful that people are reluctant to leave.
Qizi Bay, where waves and reefs accompany each other day and night, is fascinating.
A dream of a thousand years of prosperity
The hotel stocks Han Dynasty clothing, allowing you to relive your dreams of a golden age. In a hotel filled with Han and Tang dynasty elements, donning clothing will transport you back to the Han and Tang dynasties, allowing you to experience the dreamlike charm of millennia-old costumes.
Enjoy the infinity heated swimming pool
The infinity pool with constant temperature all year round is the most suitable temperature for the human body, and there is also a children's swimming area to satisfy the babies' water play carnival. It is perfect for parent-child outings.
The water stretches out to the boundless sea, where the water meets the sky. In the evening, the setting sun is reflected on the smooth water, creating a dreamlike scene. It is a great place to swim, play in the water, and take photos.
Family outings with non-stop fun
The hotel also provides an indoor kids club and playground for playful babies, so parents don’t have to worry about their babies getting bored and can enjoy their vacation comfortably.
Parents can also experience the interesting pottery-making process with their babies. Don't miss the original pottery-making skills of the Li ethnic group, which has a 6,000-year-old cultural heritage. While appreciating the pottery, you can participate in it, experience the charm of Li pottery, and feel the ethnic culture with unique characteristics of the Li ethnic group.
In addition, the resort also has a variety of entertainment facilities and humane services such as fitness center, billiards, chess and card center.
While the children are playing, adults can choose to sweat it out in the 24-hour gymnasium or stretch their muscles in the aerobics classroom.
Comes with a China-TravelNote exclusive go-kart experience, which is cool and fun. You’ll be addicted after one experience, and both adults and children can play!
Savor local specialties and try fresh seafood
The hotel's all-day Western restaurant offers a variety of international cuisines. This package includes a Chinese and Western buffet breakfast.
