Yulin Naval Base, Naval base in Sanya, China.
The Yulin Naval Base is a military installation on the southern coast of Hainan Island with sheltered harbors and underground facilities. The compound contains multiple piers designed to accommodate submarines and surface vessels of different sizes.
Construction began in the early 2000s, and the facility became a primary operational hub for the Chinese Navy. The infrastructure was progressively expanded to house modern vessels and technologies.
The naval complex represents the advancement of Chinese maritime capabilities through its integration of surface vessels, submarines, and advanced military technologies.
The base sits on Hainan's southern coast and is typically not open to visitors. You can observe the area from the shoreline or learn more about local naval architecture through Sanya's museums.
A notable feature is the semi-submerged tunnel entrance that leads to underwater berthing areas below sea level. This design allows large vessels to remain hidden and protected from harsh weather conditions.
