The enormous statue of Guanyin Goddess of Nanshan is one of the tallest in the world located in Sanya, Hainan Province. It is a famous attraction in China that you must visit especially if you beleive in Buddhism. The thousands of mini golden statues inisde the temple are one of a kind. Cameras aren't allowed once you enter the temple so I couldn't show you how emmaculate the statues are inside. Very clean and well maintained. One of the best temple that we have entered in Asia and we have been around. So it is worth the money. The temple is surrounded with a massive and beautiful park so you can easily spend your entire day here. Ticket price: Main entrance ticket costs 108 but in order for you to enter the other temple then you have to pay extra. The main Guanyin Statue temple charges 25rmb per person..

Majestic Goddess in the South China Sea

The Guanyin of Nanshan is a “must see” if you are visiting Sanya, China! This statue stands at 108 meters (354ft) tall and has three unique sides. Pictures cannot capture the sheer magnitude of the bodhisattva Guanyin. We took a DiDi from our hotel in Yalong Bay to visit and walked to the base of the statue after we purchased entrance tickets. We were excited to learn that there is an entire, multi story shrine located inside of the statue and spent quite a while exploring the beauty inside. Once we reached the sixth floor, we left through an exit that took us to the base of the statue. The views were stunning! There is a lot to explore around the area. I recommend spending at least half a day here! Bring your sunscreen. :) #createwithtrip #sanya #china #summervacation #beachlife #ocean #staycation

SANYA Guanyin Goddess

On this charming coastline, a towering statue of Guanyin of the South Sea stands between the sea and the sky, becoming a landmark of Sanya and the entire Hainan Island. Guanyin of the South Sea in Sanya, also known as Nanshan Guanyin of the South Sea, is located in Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone, Yacheng Town, Sanya City.

Standing under the statue of Guanyin, you will be infected by the solemn atmosphere. Looking up, Guanyin's face is calm and solemn, as if to tell people: no matter how the world changes, she will protect this land and people with endless compassion. When you climb up to the viewing platform of the statue of Guanyin, the scenery in front of you is even more breathtaking. The rippling sea and the blue sky and white clouds reflect each other, forming a beautiful picture. On the distant sea, fishing boats are dotted, and on the nearby beach, tourists are playing, forming a vivid and harmonious picture. Not only that, every sunset, the golden afterglow sprinkles on the statue of Guanyin, giving it a golden halo, which is more sacred and solemn.

Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone (Nanshan Temple, Guanyin of the South Sea) is a 5A scenic spot. The entrance fee is CNY 129 and parking costs CNY 8. It is recommended to spend 3-5 hours here, as you can spend a long time just looking at the sea. Key points: Be sure to go to the viewing platform in front of Nanshan Temple. The photo effect is shown in pictures 1-3. Be sure to choose a good day to visit. About Guanyin of the South Sea: The construction of the statue was approved by the State Council in 1993 and completed in 1999. It is located on the coast of Yacheng, Sanya, and is known as Guanyin of the South Sea. The mountain behind it is called Nanshan. ● It is the world's first statue of Guanyin made of gold and jade, and is the treasure of Hainan Island. The statue of Guanyin is 108 meters high. It is a three-in-one statue, each holding a lotus, a bead, and a basket, standing on a lotus throne with 108 petals. The Vajra platform under the lotus throne is the Yuantong Bao Hall, which is connected to the mainland by a 280-meter-long Puzhi Bridge. The three Guanyin statues each hold a bead, a lotus, and a basket, each with a different meaning: The front is Guanyin holding a basket, which embodies Guanyin's Prajna virtue, that is, the virtue of wisdom. The basket represents the 600 volumes of the Prajna Sutra. Guanyin observes all sentient beings and transforms them freely, and uses Prajna to enlighten sentient beings. The right side is Guanyin holding a bead, which embodies Guanyin's liberation virtue, that is, completely getting rid of ignorance and troubles and various restraints, and reaching a state of great freedom and ease. It shows the compassionate spirit of "sentient beings chanting Buddha, Buddha chanting sentient beings" as equals. The left side is Guanyin holding a lotus, which embodies Guanyin's Dharma virtue. Guanyin is the main deity of the Lotus Division of Esoteric Buddhism. The lotus is the samaya form of Guanyin, which symbolizes the "eternal joy, self-purity" and four virtues. It is a sacred flower in Buddhism, symbolizing the flesh heart of sentient beings. The lotus is pure and clean, and it is not stained by the mud. The roots and stems are connected, symbolizing "the heart, Buddha, and sentient beings, there is no difference between the three"

Surrounded by mountains and sea, shaded by green trees.

Stay at the seaside hotel of the leisure club nestled between mountains and sea, roam around the Nanshan Scenic Area, enjoy the night view of the Nanhai Guanyin, and savor vegetarian delicacies.

Sanya | Secretly made a wish, and the Bodhisattva said 'OK'

| Secretly made a wish, and the Bodhisattva said 'OK'. 🏠 Stay: Crowne Plaza Sanya Bay I think if you are just transiting in Sanya or arriving late, staying here is quite good. Booked a garden sea view room, got an upgrade, the balcony has a bathtub with a wider view, and the air conditioning is very sufficient. The pool downstairs is also very large. Cross the road and you are at the beach. Played on the beach until late at night, came back directly to the Starlight All Day Dining Restaurant for dinner. Except for the slightly slow service, everything else was fine. Sanya Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone 🚗 The hotel booking included some items, among which was a direct bus to the Sanya Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone. Having visited Hainan many times, flying to Sanya always involves circling around the Hainan Guanyin, so it's about time to visit. 🧳 There are lockers at the entrance ticket check area where you can store your luggage by scanning a QR code. The cost seems to be capped at 30 yuan. I stored my luggage for about 5 hours, and it was also 30 yuan. 🎫 Bought tickets for the entrance and the tour bus (purchased online, just swipe your ID card). 🚙 The tour bus is optional. If you are with elderly people or children in the hot weather, it can be quite tiring. But if you have a wish in your heart, walking is also fine.

Slowly pay respects to the Buddha on the way down. Finally, on the left side of the exit, there is a stamping cloth where you can stamp. The stamp weighs 50 jin. 🍚 Lunch: Nanshan Vegetarian Noodle House, located in the underground passage, set meal 49 yuan. I ordered the vegetarian fish-flavored rice. Coconut was bought separately. 2️⃣ Thirty-Three Guanyin Hall Behind it is the God of Wealth Hall. Opposite is the Nanshan Courtyard.

Are you all notified about coming to Sanya in December?

Are you all notified about coming to Sanya in December? Coming to Sanya, of course, you have to prepare the travel guide in advance to avoid pitfalls and have fun! Personally tested summary, hope it can help you~ 🚌Transportation: 1. There are many illegal taxis at the airport, do not take them! Queue for a taxi or go directly to the parking lot opposite to take a ride-hailing car 2. The attractions in Sanya are too far apart, taxis are expensive, but buses are very convenient, there are buses to each attraction 3. Sanya does not have a subway, but there is a sightseeing tram from Guogou to the high-speed train station, which is less crowded, spacious, and quite comfortable 4. There are many motorcycles, which can be an option during traffic jams, remember to bargain with the driver and wear a helmet 5. There are many pitfalls in renting a car, I don't really recommend it unless you want to drive around the island 🏨Accommodation: 1. Sanya has entered the peak season, be sure to book accommodation in advance, it's easy to run out of rooms if you book on arrival 2. Compare three, look at the real reviews left by netizens, don't just look at the pictures, it's easy to be 'photo deceived' 3. Sanya Bay and Dadonghai are closer to the city center and have convenient transportation. Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay have many hotels and are suitable for vacations 🏄🏻‍♀️Sightseeing: 1. Both West Island and Wuzhizhou Island are islands for sea viewing and playing, you can just visit one of them, I went to West Island and it was quite nice, with a strong atmosphere of a small fishing village 2. Houhai Village is too hyped on social media, the environment is actually average, but it's still okay for surfing 3. Nanshan Tourism Zone is very large, don't just go to see the Guanyin statue, you can also visit the Wealth God Temple, Nanshan Bieyuan to draw lots, and the Thirty-Three Guanyin Hall to make wishes, you need to buy a ticket for the small train, otherwise, your feet will be worn out 4. Tianya Town is very photogenic, but only the row by the sea is worth taking pictures of, it's far from the city center, it's not necessary to make a special trip unless you live nearby 5. The Coconut Dream Corridor is really long, 20 kilometers, don't directly navigate to 'Coconut Dream Corridor', if you want to see the sunset navigate to 'Haiyue Square', if you want to take portraits navigate to 'Haiyun Hotel', if you want to catch the sea navigate to 'Beautiful New Coast' 6. Yalong Bay Forest Park is not very suitable for families, the park is very large, you need to climb mountains and cross bridges, it's tiring 🛍Shopping: 1. Don't buy specialties in the scenic area, the supermarkets in the city like Wanghao Supermarket and Womei Supermarket are more cost-effective 2. For fruits, go to Xinhonggang Market, it's cheaper after 7 pm 3. The fruits sold by roadside vendors are not expensive but they shortchange on weight, some are even soaked in sugar water, don't buy 4. You must go to the duty-free shop in advance, otherwise, there won't be enough time for distribution and you won't be able to buy 5. There are four duty-free shops in Sanya, if you don't know which one to go to, just go to the CDF International Duty-Free City in Haitang Bay, it's more comprehensive 6. If you already have a target, go to Haitravel or Zhongfu for iPhone15, Haitravel for cosmetics, and Zhongfu for gold 7. The crafts at night markets and scenic spots are too overpriced, like pearls, bracelets, etc., if you're not in a hurry, you can search for the same items online 😋Food: To be honest, there are quite a lot of delicious foods in Sanya, even I, an outsider, find them very appetizing 1️⃣ In Hainan, you must eat chicken, there's a local saying 'Go to Sanya to see the sea, eat chicken in Yanjiang', Yanjiang Hainan Cuisine Yalong Bay's Intangible Cultural Heritage Double Chicken is really good! It's something you can't eat anywhere else! Must try 2️⃣ Of course, you also need to eat seafood, the two seafood restaurants I went to are very reliable, the seafood is freshly caught and cooked, you can see the freshness. If you want to eat seafood while watching the sea, go to Buzaike Seafood in Dadonghai, if you want to experience the local life of Sanya, go to Train Head's Haiwei Chanshi Seafood, both are great! 3️⃣ The local hotpot is also a must-try, Qiong Er Zao Cu·Coconut Chicken Hotpot Restaurant is very good, you can eat two kinds of special hotpot at once, whatever you want to dip 4️⃣ There's also a local specialty food that is a must-visit, Xiao Bai's Eastern Roast Suckling Pig has won awards, the freshly roasted suckling pig has crispy skin and tender meat, it's not greasy at all, and tastes even more special with sugar~ 5️⃣ Various snacks: Yacheng stinky tofu, Lingshui sour noodles, pickled Baoluo powder, colorful cake, colorful shrimp, fried chicken wings, Hainan skewers, rice mush... also too numerous to mention, be sure to try them all if you have time!

✅Sanya Nanshan Cultural Tourism Area (Nanshan Temple, South Sea Guanyin), 5A, ticket price 129, parking 8 yuan, suggested tour time 3～5 hours, because you can 👀 the sea for a long time.

The sutra box represents the six hundred volumes of the Prajna Sutra, observing all sentient beings and freely converting them, and enlightening sentient beings with prajna. ✨The right side is the Guanyin holding the rosary, embodying the liberation virtue of Guanyin, that is, completely getting rid of ignorance and various fetters, reaching the state of great freedom and ease, expressing the compassionate spirit of 'sentient beings recite the Buddha, and the Buddha recites sentient beings' as equals. ✨The left side is the Guanyin holding the lotus, embodying the dharma body virtue of Guanyin.

Hainan Ten-Day Tour

A ten-day tour of Hainan takes you to the Nanshan Sea Guanyin Scenic Area in Sanya. The South Sea Guanyin is known as the 'Treasure of the Sea' in Hainan, and Nanshan is the southernmost mountain on Hainan Island. The saying 'Blessings are as vast as the East Sea and life is as long as Nanshan' refers to this place. It is indeed a meritorious act to build such a spectacular Guanyin statue in such a blessed place. The 108-meter-tall Sea Guanyin is 15 meters taller than the Statue of Liberty, making it the world's largest statue of Guanyin in white clothes and the tallest Guanyin statue in the world, made of titanium alloy. The holy statue of Guanyin holds a lotus in one hand, a scripture in another, and a Buddhist bead in the third. It is a three-in-one statue of Guanyin with a solemn appearance, standing on a 108-petal lotus throne. The lotus throne is ten meters high, with four layers, each with 27 identical lotus petals, totaling 108. Underneath the lotus throne is the Vajra throne, inside which is the Yuantong Treasure Hall with an area of 15,000 square meters. Inside the hall are various statues of Guanyin for worship, and you can also take an elevator up to hug Buddha's feet for blessings. It's important to go early, as it takes 2-3 hours to queue up to enter the hall. I specifically went to meditate under the Bodhi tree in the scenic area, and indeed, the blessings here are boundless. As soon as I sat down, I felt calm and at peace. Every time I worship the huge Guanyin statue, I feel a lotus blooming in my heart, and all is silent. The last time I worshipped at the Ci Hang Hall in Lingyin Temple, it was the same. Guanyin Bodhisattva relieves all suffering in the world, and when you come to Hainan, you must come here to worship. Next, take a boat to West Island. West Island is known as the 'Paradise on the Sea, Dynamic Heaven', which is very attractive. Here, tourists can fully appreciate the beauty of the tropical islands and participate in a variety of fun activities. It can be roughly summarized as 'One Port, Two Islands, Five Parts, Ten Sceneries': 'One Port, Two Islands' is the overall spatial composition of the West Island Tourist Resort, namely, Xiaoqi Port Passenger Terminal, West Island Amusement World, and Niuwang Island Ecological Park. 'Five Parts, Ten Sceneries' are the core attractions of the West Island Tourist Resort, namely, diving, water sports, parasailing, sea fishing, beach five leisure sports clubs; Cape Golden Sand, Golden Bull Overlooking the Sea, Sea Oath Mountain Alliance, Opening the Sky, Spirit Turtle Strange Stone and other ten core landscapes. We have already experienced various sea projects, mainly to go to Niuwang Island. Niuwang Island is located to the southwest of West Island, almost connected to West Island, a miniature island. Niuwang Island has the most primitive island scenery, where you can enjoy the magnificent sea and sky, the amazing reef landscape, and the majestic sunrise and sunset. The homestays on West Island also have island characteristics, and the living experience is very good.

Check in at Sanya Nanshan Guanyin and Nanshan Temple!

When traveling to Sanya, you must check in at Nanshan Guanyin, which is 108 meters high and very shocking! Nanshan Guanyin is located in Sanya Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone, and tickets can be directly purchased on Ctrip, which is very convenient! 🧳Preparation before departure: When visiting Nanshan Guanyin, be sure to prepare sun protection measures before you go. If there is a long queue, you also need to pay attention to heatstroke prevention. Wear a pair of comfortable shoes, even if you take a small train, you still need to walk a lot. 💰Average consumption: It is recommended to buy a package ticket, including admission ticket and small train for 152 yuan. Taking a small train in the scenic area can save a lot of effort! ✅Must experience: You must go to Nanshan Guanyin, queue up to enter the hall, take the elevator to the foot of Guanyin, touch the Buddha's foot, hug the Buddha's foot, the implication is quite good! You must also check in at Nanshan Temple, the scenery is very beautiful, and you can also burn incense and worship Buddha! There is also a Bodhi forest next to the temple, where you can take pictures and check in. 📝Note tips: There are a lot of tourists going to Nanshan Guanyin in winter, and the queue to hug the Buddha's foot is basically an hour to start, so pay attention to arrange the time! There are many attractions in the Nanshan Cultural Zone, and you can reach them by taking a small train. But when there are many people, there are also many people queuing for the small train. Some attractions need to wait a long time to take the small train after getting off, so it is recommended to choose a few favorite attractions to get off, or just walk to check in at each attraction without taking the small train, but it requires a lot of physical strength. 🖼Restaurant environment: There are several restaurants in the scenic area. We dined at the restaurant near Nanshan Guanyin. All are vegetarian. The two-person set meal is 168 yuan and 198 yuan. The price is not cheap, but the taste is okay. The 198 yuan set meal for two people can be full! It is recommended to go to the scenic area early to check in at most attractions. If you arrive at the scenic area at noon, you can only choose a few attractions to check in. Plan your time! The cost of taking a taxi from the city to the Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone is generally more than 100 yuan, which is very convenient. You can also choose to take a bus, which is more cost-effective, but waiting for the bus wastes a lot of time, consider your own time and itinerary! When traveling to Sanya, you must go to the Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone once, it's really worth it!
