Wuzhizhou Island Tourism Zone

With the holiday season upon us, holidaying is one of the most persistent thoughts on one’s mind. With the frost bitten cold of winter, celebrating Christmas and heralding the new year in a tropical climate is something many are opting to do and what better place to bid adieu to the past year than in some of the best islands in the world. According to sources such as the National Geographic, islands such as Fair Isle in Scotland and the Isles of Scilly in England are some of the most beautiful and naturally diverse islands in the European continent but for a truly tropical vacation, Bali in Indonesia and the Wuzhizhou Island off the Chinese coast of Hainan are ideal.

Because the island is located close to the city of Sanya, visiting Wuzhizhou Island from resorts such as Anantara Sanya Resort & Spa is fairly convenient while the island itself is located a mere twenty five miles or so from the closest airport. While visiting Yalong Bay, believed to be the best bay in China, ranks high on the list of things to do in Sanya, making a trip to Wuzhizhou island is something many environmentalists and nature buffs are inclined to do. This desire can be attributed to the biodiversity that thrives on the island which is also home to rare species of threes such as the Dragon Tree. Given that the island is considered home to over two thousand species of plant and tree life, it is truly an environmentalist’s haven.

In addition to the diverse plant life, one of the highlights of the island is its beach front. Primarily attributable to sea visibility which allows tourists to dive and view up to twenty seven metres below the surface, tourists and locals alike consider the Wuzhizhou Island a treasure. Enjoy well preserved coral reefs teeming with sea cucumber, lobsters, tropical fish and a myriad of marine life when in Wuzhizhou.
