      Ken Ding is known for its glamorous beach resort.  It's a great get-a-way place for those who want to relax and admire the scenes.

We stayed at the Ken Ding Youth Activity Centre, which was cheaper than a regular hotel, but ended up being the highlight of the trip.

The place was built like an Emperor's resort and featured a "meditation walking trail" to the ocean.
