China's one and only nudist beach lies on Da Dong Hai (Great East Sea) beach, just only three kilometers from the popular resort of Sanya, where it has become increasingly common to see groups of people chatting and playing cards in the nude at the far end of the beach.
Although the fact that China's rulers are able to tolerate some level of public social nudity is cause for optimism, there may be trouble ahead. The authorities are concerned that there is no signpost to inform tourists that the area is for nudists, and there have been reports of embarrassing encounters between clothed and nude beach goers.
Although the beach isn't yet under threat of closure, China is a notoriously restrictive society, and we are keeping our fingers crossed that the new leadership doesn't decide on a heavy handed solution to this situation.
