Qizi Bay

Qizi Bay, located on the west coast of Hainan island, is certainly a road less travelled, especially for Western tourists. We have heard of some Westerners going through this region, but they have been few and far between. The name Qizi Bay comes from the beautiful coloured pebbles that are found along the beach and in coves among the rocks. These stones are reminiscent of Chinese chess stones.

Qizi Bay is noteworthy for the magnificent scenery of its rocky coastline. The beaches are also fine for swimming, however if your looking to do some snorkelling or diving you better have your own gear as there is not a lot of infrastructure around this beautifully secluded inlet.
