The Southeast, often simply called the East Coast, covers Xinglong with its hot springs, botanical gardens, local coffee, and Indonesian theme park (and many young women plying their trade, a fact that tends to be glossed over by the guide books), Lingshui, Dongshan Range, and Nanwan Monkey Island. The area's promise has been blighted by haphazard tourist development, but it still has mountainous, forests, and coasts that are worth checking out.
Dongshan RangeDongshan Ridge (Ctrip): A good description and useful.
Dongshan Mountain (China Travel Tour Guide): Poetic but Chinglish.
Dongshan (Chinaetravel): Pretty general, with photo.Xinglong (World66) General comments about Xinglong.
Xinglong Hot Springs (Ctrip) General but useful information.
Nanwan Monkey Island
Monkey Island (Travel China Guide) Quite a long entry, although much of the content will be more appreciated by Chinese than Westerners. (A sample: "Guides all wear uniforms, and are always courteous. They offer the most circumspect, original, novel zoology free service and will guide you to play with the monkeys to experience the harmony between human beings and nature.")
Pearl Farms (Xincun) (Ctrip) Good description.
