Tianya Haijiao

4.5/5
37.2k reviews
Tianya Haijiao is located at the western end of Sanya Bay and is a highly recognizable coastal attraction in Sanya. The long stretch of beach is dotted with massive rocks, among which two boulders inscribed with "Tianya" and "Haijiao" are regarded as symbols of love and a must-visit spot for many. During the Yongzheng era of the Qing Dynasty, Cheng Zhe, the magistrate of Yazhou, inscribed "Tianya" on a coastal boulder. In the Republican era, Wang Yi, commander of the Qiongya garrison, inscribed "Haijiao" on an adjacent boulder, giving the attraction its name. After the song "Please come to Tianya Haijiao" became popular across the country, "accompanying you to Tianya Haijiao" became a widely circulated romantic promise, and this is where the "Tianya complex" finds its embodiment. In addition to these two famous stones, the cliffside inscriptions offer many other highlights: the "Haipan Nantian" inscription commissioned by an imperial envoy during the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty predates the "Tianya" inscription; the "Tianya Haijiao" inscription by Fan Yunti, the magistrate of Yazhou during the Xuantong era of the Qing Dynasty, once appeared on the back of the 2-yuan note in the fourth series of RMB and is thus also called the "wealth stone"; the "sun and moon stones" standing in the nearby waters, two interlocking stones with heart-shaped outlines, are known as the "love stones" and can usually be admired and photographed from the beach. When visiting, you can walk along the coast from the entrance to the stone carvings, passing by the celebrity sculpture garden, love square, and couple tree, where the couple tree is a popular photo spot. Every winter, the Tianya Haijiao international wedding festival is held as scheduled, often with couples making vows by the sea. The "Tianya stone" attracts crowds, so you may need to wait briefly to photograph its front. The "Haijiao stone" is closer to the waterline—getting near the waves for a shot offers a more expansive view.Sanya · 17.9 km from downtown

Luhuitou Scenic Area is located within the Luhuitou Peninsula at the southwestern end of Sanya, comprising five peaks of varying sizes, with an elevation of 181 m. The park is surrounded by the sea on three sides and adjacent to the urban area of Sanya on one side, making it a great spot to climb high and gaze at the sea, watch the sunrise and sunset, and enjoy a panoramic view of Sanya. In 1994, Luhuitou Scenic Area was designated a scenic and historic area. In 2017, Luhuitou Scenic Area was awarded the title of national 4A tourist attraction. The immortal deer looks back, and there is love in the human world — Nanhai Lovers' Mountain There was a Li youth hunter, with a red cloth wrapped around his head and a bow and arrows in his hands, who chased a sambar deer from the Wuzhi Mountain in the heart of Hainan Island across ninety-nine mountains and ninety-nine rivers until he reached the shore of the South China Sea. Ahead, beneath the cliffs at the mountain summit, lay the vast sea, and the sambar deer had nowhere left to run. As the youth hunter was drawing his bow and nocking an arrow, he suddenly saw a flash of firelight and smoke rising into the air. The sambar deer turned its head and transformed into a beautiful Li maiden, and the two fell in love and became a devoted married couple. This mountain thus came to be known as "Luhuitou" (The Deer Looks Back), and it became a lovers' mountain where young men and women pledge their eternal love. Main attraction "Luhuitou" "Do not say the Five Rams surpass Yuexiu in splendor; their elegance cannot match Deer Turning Its Head." The Deer Turning Its Head sculpture is the work of the renowned Chinese sculptor Lin Yuhao. The statue is 15 m tall, 10 m long, and 5 m wide, and was carved from multiple blocks of granite over a period of 5 years. The city of Sanya also derives its nickname "Deer City" from it. Works from the same period include the Nanjing Yuhuatai sculpture and the Jianzhen Landing Group Sculpture at Sanya Daxiaodongtian. Mountain of love vows — a world of romantic culture The romantic culture attraction cluster, consisting of attractions such as the "Love" cliff inscription, "Eternal Union of Hearts," "Vows of the Sea and Mountains," "Heart-Linking Locks," "Couple Trees," "Fairy Deer Tree," "Rock That Endures When the Sea Dries and Stones Decay," and "Mountain Vow Stele," highlights a romantic theme where the whole mountain is filled with love, every sight is filled with affection, and every heart is filled with emotion. During the Tianya Haijiao International Wedding Festival, couples from home and abroad come here every November to make vows of the sea and mountains, pledge eternal union of hearts, and pray for a lifelong harmonious union and complete happiness. Prayers at the sacred mountain — the Li ethnic group's "fortune" culture corridor The Li ethnic group folk culture corridor, composed of the "Peace and Auspicious Tree," "Eternal Love," "Sacrificial Ceremony Painting," "Blessed Soul Painting," "Harvest Painting," "Ancestor Worship Painting," "Wedding Celebration Painting," "Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity," "Frog God Statue," and more, creates a blessed cultural atmosphere where the whole mountain is filled with auspiciousness, the whole garden is filled with peace, and every heart is filled with happiness. Mirage — romantic mountain night view "At first, one might suspect the Heavenly Emperor has scattered bright pearls, depicting a picture of the Silver River over shimmering blue waters. A mirage seems to appear before the eyes, as the gentle night breeze soothes the heart." In recent years, the park has introduced artistic night lighting and laser animation performance systems, featuring light shows such as "Aerial Roses," "City Lights," "Moving Head Lights," "Sky Cannons," and "Strobe Lights," as well as a 3D laser animation based on the park's beautiful and touching love legend, shown at 8 PM every weekend. After nightfall, lights of various colors dress Sanya's night sky as a wonderland on earth, while Luhuitou becomes a mirage floating above the city's sea of lights. City charm — Beiting sightseeing The commanding height for a panoramic view of Sanya, and a great spot to climb high and gaze at the sea or watch the sunrise and sunset. As far as the eye can see, the sea and sky stretch endlessly with dots of sails; the splendid sea-and-sky scenery and coastal charm unfold in full view. Mountains, sea, city, and river all come into sight. After nightfall, the mountain glows with gorgeous lights while the city below sparkles with countless lamps—taking in the beautiful night view of Sanya brings a sense of pure delight. Blessings fill the mountain of affection — purple mist arrives from the east This is a spot in the park for watching the sunrise. Standing here and gazing far into the distance, you can see the red sun just emerging, the vast sea stretching endlessly, clouds glowing brilliantly, and purple mist swirling. The Great and Small East Seas converge here in a pincer-like formation, where spiritual energy gathers and blessings are bestowed. This is the peak of "fortune as vast as the East Sea," a place where blessings converge, and a prayer platform has been built here. Mr. Wangshan, a famous Chinese calligrapher and painter, inscribed a message for this site. Immortal traces endure—wanderings to the ends of the earth "Wandering the Ends of the Earth" was inscribed by Mr. Lai Shaoqi, one of the few survivors of the Shangrao Concentration Camp. When Mr. Lai visited Sanya, he sighed over life—having endured countless hardships in his lifetime, after leaving the concentration camp, he climbed Luhuitou and felt as if he had been reborn. Having roamed the ends of the earth, it was all the more like stepping into a heavenly paradise; he called himself an immortal, alone bathed in the wonderland, and left behind "Wandering the Ends of the Earth" to express his immortal wanderings.Sanya · 3 km from downtown

Thrilling attractions: The Thrill Ride, Leap of Faith, Angry Sea Roller Coaster, and Whirlwind Horn offer a strong sense of weightlessness, perfect for water enthusiasts; the Shark Slide through the transparent shark tank is great for taking photos. Family-friendly attractions: Water play areas, Ocean Empire children's water park, Rapid River Lazy River, and wave pool offer fun for children and adults alike, making it a great place for the whole family to spend a whole day.

The Atlantis Aquarium in Sanya is absolutely stunning! The enormous Lost Chambers aquarium makes you feel like you're in an underwater world, with over 86,000 marine creatures swimming in 13,500 tons of natural seawater. The beluga whale interaction is incredibly therapeutic, the jellyfish area is dreamy and beautiful, and every shot in the underwater tunnel is a masterpiece. It's definitely worth the ticket price for a family trip; you can learn something new and experience the wonders of the ocean. Highly recommended!

The glassy sea is amazing! The scenery is absolutely stunning! The fishing village was a bit... well, I just wanted to explore on my own. I kept getting asked if I wanted to rent an electric cart, so I did. For food, I recommend choosing restaurants with high ratings! The food I ate while wandering around was barely edible. When visiting West Island, it's best to bring some snacks and find a nice spot to sit, listen to the sea, watch the clouds, and just relax.

The Nanshan Guanyin Statue in Sanya is solemn and majestic. Standing 108 meters tall in the middle of the azure sea, the three-faced Guanyin is breathtaking from afar. Each of the three faces has a different design, rich in symbolism. Walking along the boardwalk allows for closer worship and a more tranquil atmosphere. The entire park is lush with greenery, the sea breeze is refreshing, and the Nanshan Temple exudes an ancient charm and profound Zen spirit. With the azure sea on one side and Buddhist culture on the other, it offers both scenic beauty and cultural depth, making it ideal for quiet prayer and photography. The park is quite large, so it's recommended to allow ample time for a leisurely visit. The downsides are that it gets very crowded during holidays, leading to long queues, and the food prices within the park are relatively high. Overall, this is not only a landmark in Sanya but also a place where one can find inner peace and experience the Zen-like tranquility of the mountains and sea.

I absolutely love Fenjiezhou Island. I've been here multiple times over the past two years. You could easily spend an entire day here just relaxing. Every time I go to Sanya, I spend at least two days here. The further in you go, the better the environment becomes, and the fewer people there are. You can really feel the atmosphere of the Yellow Sea. The seawater here is an exceptionally beautiful color. It's like watching a blockbuster movie without leaving the country. The restrooms are also very well-equipped, and there's even running water for rinsing your feet. I absolutely love this place.

Our tour guide, Fu Limei, was very friendly and helpful, accompanying my mother and me, offering different suggestions and travel services tailored to our individual needs. The Tropical Paradise Forest Park truly lives up to its name and is definitely worth a visit! Mountains and sea in one frame!

The Lost Chambers Aquarium at Atlantis Sanya was a fantastic experience! The theme of a lost underwater city created a truly immersive atmosphere. The Ambassador Lagoon's giant screen was breathtaking, with sharks, manta rays, and schools of fish swimming right before your eyes. The mermaid show and feeding show were excellent, especially for the kids. The venue was clean, the indoor area was sun-protected, and there was even a touch pool where you could get up close to starfish. It's perfect for families, and the photos turn out beautifully. I highly recommend checking show times in advance before you go!

A visit to classic scenic spots in Hainan is a must; the breathtaking view of the sea and sky merging into one will definitely not disappoint. Although Tianya Haijiao (End of the Earth) is just two rocks and may differ from what you might imagine, its meaning is beautiful.

It was a particularly pleasant experience. I went to Sanya specifically for Chen Chusheng's concert, and also went to Luhuitou Park specifically for his song "Luhuitou". I enjoyed strolling through the park, listening to Chen Chusheng's gentle voice, with a light evening breeze, and admiring the night view of Sanya.
