Tourists surf in the waters of Queen's Bay in Sanya, south China's Hainan Province on May 21, 2024. Sanya boasts a coastline that offers stunning tropical coastal scenery, making it an ideal destination for beach holidays. In recent years, Sanya has been promoting tropical coastal leisure and sports tourism. Activities such as surfing, diving, sailing, and paddle boarding have flourished, attracting water sports enthusiasts from both near and far.

One of the first local villagers to embrace surfing was Yang Xingfu. Coming from a family of fishermen, Yang is now a surfing instructor in Houhai Village of Sanya. He first took up surfing in 2008 and immediately fell in love with this challenging sport. With his natural athleticism and exceptional water skills inherited from his fishing background, he quickly mastered surfing.

In 2015, after earning his International Surfing Association coaching certificate, Yang Xingfu began teaching surfing to students in Houhai Village. Thanks to his surfing skills, tourists from other places now flock to Houhai Village to learn from him.

In recent years, with the influx of a large number of tourists, Houhai Village, a small fishing village with a population of just over 3,000, has become a popular surfing destination where visitors eagerly seek to experience the waves. (Xinhua/Zhang Liyun)
