123 Centurial Mountain Sanatorium

Yun Hua City.

Centurial Beach Sanatorium.

Centurial Beach Sanatorium was located at the southern suburbs of Yun Hua City. The back of the sanatorium faced the mountains, and its front faced the sea. There was a gentle stream flowing from the top of the mountain into a small river, and there was also a breakwater[1] blocking the waves with the purpose of protecting the beach.

The sand on the beach had been shipped in from foreign lands. In the early years, the sand came from Beidaihe District[2]. And after the country had money, they started to import Philippine sand before they moved on to buy Macao sand.

The glittering, fine, golden sand spread from one end of Centurial Beach to the other, forming a beach as long as 1.6 miles. With the addition of some loungers and parasols laying around on the beach, it looked like a holiday island used for leisurely purposes for nine months of the year.
