Yangxi Dongfang Moon Bay

　　   Situated in Shipai Town, Yangxi County, Yangjiang City, Guangdong Province, about 320 kilometers southwest of Guangzhou on the shores of the South China Sea, lies a beautiful bay—Dongfang Moon Bay. Dongfang Moon Bay is located in the Xiawo Tourist Development Zone of Shipai Town, in the southwestern part of Rudong, Yangxi, approximately 40 kilometers from the county seat. It stretches from Fuhuling (an island) in Shangyang Town in the east along the coastline of Moon Bay to Be’eling Coast and the mysterious bay near Qingzhou Island’s Jingye Temple in the west. The coastline extends nearly 8 kilometers (16 li), covering a total area of 33 square kilometers. Including the additional 3 kilometers (6 li) of Shipai Bay, the combined length of Shipai Bay + Dongfang Moon Bay + Shangyang Bay totals 10.5 kilometers (21 li). The 7.8-kilometer-long Moon Bay beach curves gracefully, flanked by steep cliffs and uniquely shaped rocks on both sides, resembling a secluded paradise and a stretch of pure white sand where the moon seems to descend—extremely expansive. Hence the name. Its length exceeds that of the renowned “Ten-Li Silver Beach” on Yangjiang’s Hailing Island (which holds a Guinness World Record) by an additional 6.5 li (3.25 kilometers). It is a comprehensive, multi-level, and integrated tourism and holiday resort.

　　   Qingzhou Island features rugged rocks, while Dongfang Moon Bay is surrounded by lush greenery and boasts azure waters. The entire area presents crystal-clear seawater, snow-white sands, fresh air, and exceptionally beautiful surroundings. Being here, one can’t help but marvel at nature’s masterpiece. The project covers a total area of 733 hectares.

　　   The waters of Moon Bay are extremely clear, the sand is snow-white with a moderate grain size, and the slope is gentle. It is divided into gentle wave zones, medium wave zones, and strong wave zones. With just a few more strokes while swimming, you might reach depths of two meters. It’s a great spot for thrill-seekers. The area offers outstanding environmental advantages. The terrain and landforms remain largely in their natural state, with the entire region boasting clear waters, fresh air, and beautiful scenery—making you feel as though you’ve returned to a simpler, more natural world. The fine sands of Moon Bay beach are soft, and the sea breeze feels refreshing, creating a blissful atmosphere. Small motorized sailboats shuttle across the water, waves roll gently, and under the sunlight, the sea and sky blend into one harmonious vista. The beach is flanked by steep cliffs and uniquely shaped rocks, evoking a sense of a hidden paradise. The “Eight Immortals Platform” and the “Lady Xian Temple and Be’eling” complement each other, adding a touch of grandeur and mystery. About 5 kilometers out to sea lies Qingzhou Island, covering 330,000 square meters, with crashing waves, rugged rocks, forests, shells, coral, and silver beaches. One of Yangxi’s Eight Scenic Spots, the “Qingzhou Fishing Fires,” boasts abundant marine resources and is an ideal spot for shallow-sea fishing. Each spring and autumn during moonless nights, fishing boats gather here for night fishing using lanterns, creating a spectacular sea of flickering lights—a unique maritime wonder. The beach is flanked by cliffs and uniquely shaped rocks, resembling a hidden paradise, with a crescent moon seemingly resting by the South China Sea.

　　   Moon Bay is home to a rare cluster of saline hot springs in China, with a daily output of 5,200 tons. The wellhead temperature ranges from 71.5 to 78°C, the water chemistry type is Cl-Na·Ca, the pH value is 7.13–7.30, and the mineralization level is 8g/L. The water contains high levels of strontium, metasilicic acid, and radium, all meeting the standards of premium medical mineral water.

　　   Guangdong Dongfang Moon Bay Co., Ltd. has invested heavily in developing the Moon Bay Health & Holiday Center. By introducing the Shipai saline hot springs and an 18-hole ocean-view golf course, the center has been built into a new-age holiday destination integrating healthcare, fitness and beauty, sports and entertainment, tourism and vacation, science education, academic exchange, and business activities.

　　   The Dongfang Moon Bay Coastal International Tourism Resort was originally conceived to consist of three main areas: the Saline Hot Spring Therapy Zone, the Seaside Activity Zone, and the Comprehensive Service Zone. The Saline Hot Spring Therapy Zone, nestled against the unique Be’eling, is designed in a garden style with sea breezes and coconut vibes, embodying a tropical atmosphere. Within the saline hot spring area, different therapy zones are set up to cater to various visitor preferences, tastes, and spending levels. The saline hot springs have a daily output of 5,200 tons and hold high medical and health benefits. Leveraging strong medical expertise, the project provides visitors with comprehensive healthcare services.

　　   The Seaside Sandy Activity Zone features a seawater bathing beach. Evaluated by international standards, the Moon Bay bathing beach meets Grade A standards, comparable to those of Hawaii, Sanya’s Yalong Bay, Yangjiang’s Zhaipo Dajiao Bay, and Yangjiang’s Ten-Li Silver Beach. Activities such as beach soccer, volleyball, banana boat rides, jet ski surfing, small aircraft rides are available, along with sand sculpture displays and music-themed evening events waiting for your visit.
