Golden Bay Botanical Garden

Golden Bay Botanical Garden

Golden Bay Botanical Garden is a cultural heritage site protected at the provincial level in Guangdong Province.

Golden Bay Botanical Garden is located in Xian’an Town, Huilai County, a dazzling pearl on the land of eastern Guangdong. It is China’s only golf course built on a beach, featuring azure seawater, golden sands, crashing white waves, and lush green lawns — you can enjoy the sunshine and beach while casually swinging your golf club, an absolutely magical experience. The beach also hosts a botanical garden home to over 4,000 plant species, a paradise for exotic flowers, rare plants, and unique flora. The resort is built along the 7-kilometer-long Golden Bay Beach. With sunshine, sea waves, sandy shores, grasslands, tropical rainforests, and cozy holiday cabins, visitors can fully enjoy a tranquil and joyful escape. As a United Nations demonstration base for biodiversity conservation, the park spans a planned area of 11,000 acres. Originally an infertile, barren beach unsuitable for farming or forestry, it has now been transformed into a large-scale eco-environmental tourism destination. Golden Bay’s green lawns, pristine sands, crystal-clear blue waters, and fresh air offer a truly refreshing experience. With European-style, American-style, Australian-style, and Japanese-style golf courses, vibrant botanical gardens, and a magnificent seaside club, it’s the perfect destination for leisure and vacation.

The Golden Bay Botanical Garden Club is situated within the Huilai Eastern Guangdong Golden Bay Botanical Garden in Xian’an Town, Huilai, 3 kilometers from the expressway and 110 minutes by car from Hong Kong. It serves as Dr. Deng Geping’s base for botanical experiments and display. The site includes an 18-hole golf course, as well as high-end cultural and leisure facilities such as the Chaoshan Culture Park.

The scenery of Golden Bay is enchanting. Gaze out at the blue sky and sea, and up close, enjoy the lush green grass and blooming flowers, all wrapped in a serene tropical rainforest atmosphere. The Golden Bay Seaside Resort is built along the 7-kilometer-long Golden Bay Beach. The soft, white sandy shore is pristine, the sea is calm and waveless, seabirds soar alongside sailing boats, and the clear blue water blends seamlessly with the sky.

The club also features a botanical garden and a folk culture village: the botanical garden cultivates over 4,000 species of scientifically introduced plants and is now designated by the United Nations environmental organization as one of China’s biodiversity protection bases. It is a haven for exotic flowers, rare and endangered plants, and naturally formed landscapes of lakes and mountains that showcase the wonders of nature. Banyan islands, coconut trees, dense shade, and graceful bamboos create a visually delightful scene. The distinctive ecological landscape of its tropical rainforest complements the international golf course fairways of Golden Bay, forming stunning scenic views that let you feel the pulse of life, as if you’re in a peaceful paradise far from the hustle and bustle. The folk culture village showcases the struggles of the Chaoshan people over more than two thousand years, as well as their unique traditions and ancient culture. It allows golfers to appreciate the blend of Eastern and Western cultures while staying healthy, and to explore the mysteries of the ancient oriental civilization.

This is also a paradise for wellness and relaxation. The Golden Bay Island Greens Driving Range, which complements the golf course, is uniquely designed in harmony with nature. With its wide, winding lawns, luxurious and elegant clubhouse, and serene tropical rainforest ecological landscape, it forms an idyllic retreat in South China for golf, business activities, and leisure in the 21st century. Sunshine, sea waves, sandy beaches, green lawns, and tropical rainforest cabins... The full charm of the ocean offers you and your loved ones the chance to enjoy family time or business discussions, while fully appreciating the exquisitely crafted marine scenery of the subtropical climate zone — truly feeling as if you’re in a fairyland, wandering amidst the greenery.
