Longhaitian Beach

Longhaitian is a realm of the dragon. Longhaitian Tourism Area is one of the few coastal tourist destinations in China.

Longhaitian is located to the east of the South Pacific, with a seamless blend of sea and sky. ‘The water surface is shimmering with golden sunlight, joyfully leaping in layers of waves’ (Tagore). That peculiar scene will make you daydream, as if you have entered a dreamlike world.
