Chinese police order nudists to cover up...

Chinese authorities have closed down the country’s only nudist beach, ordering bare-bottomed bathers off its sands in a bid to create a “civilised social environment”.

Officials in Sanya, a resort town on the tropical island of Hainan, reportedly descended on the Dadonghai beach on Thursday morning with orders to clothe dozens of naked sun worshippers.

Dadonghai, a 1.4-mile crescent of sand along the South China Sea, has been known as China’s top nudist destination for more than a decade despite never having been officially recognised by the government.

The Naked Historian, a British blog about naturism, describes Dadonghai as China’s “one and only nudist beach.”

 The “colony” also receives a mention in the Rough Guide to China, which warns potential visitors that the beach is mostly frequented by “Chinese men well past the first bloom of youth.” Full story...
