Well it's the first hut on the right just outside of the Holiday Inn. The tables are right in the beach, in fact you may sink right into the sand if you choose the wrong chair. There are many red buckets filled with all sorts of sea creatures, lots of coconuts, cold beer and other tasty dishes.
Watch out for Betty though, sweet and shrewd lady who will pat your pockets and ask questions in order to figure out what to charge you for lunch - also she may pretend to 'misunderstand' you during negotiations (but then speak perfect English a moment later). If you hang around long enough she'll offer you a job waitressing or hacking coconuts. Your pay is lunch, dinner, all the beer you want and 15 rmb a day :).

Favorite Dish: The baby clams are quite tasty, steamed and then tossed with some fresh ginger, garlic, and soya sauce. Also, if you ask they will spice it up for you some hot peppers but be careful what you wish for.

Address: Yalong Bay

Directions: First hut to the right of the Holiday Inn. The second hut has colder beer but Betty speaks some English and is really friendly.
