Like a dragon playing by the seashore, this 271-room luxury resort languidly sprawls across a gently-sloping site to the waters of South Yu Bay, near the city of Xiamen in Fujian Province.  Guests pass from the realm of the city to the realm of nature, emerging from a double-height grand lobby onto a verandah that cascades through the landscape, past a luxurious swimming pool to arrive at the beach.  Numerous guest villas occupy their own separate precinct distinct from the hotel proper, affording a high level of privacy.  Each of the 271 guestrooms and villas enjoy spectacular ocean views, all within a beautiful, harmonious natural setting.
