A must-visit tropical paradise that unlocks the highlights of your island getaway!

Sanya, with its blue seas and skies at 18° north latitude, is a pearl scattered by God in the South China Sea. Here, summer lasts all year round, and the coconut breeze and sea waves intertwine to create a poem. Every scene hides romance and surprises. Whether you are a traveler chasing the sun or an urban escapee looking for healing, this classic list will take you to Sanya's most touching sights! 1. Yalong Bay: A private blue secret of "Oriental Hawaii" "The No. 1 Bay in the World" is not an empty name! The 7 km of silver-white sandy beach stretches out like silk, and the seawater visibility is as high as 10m. The sunlight penetrates the water surface, and coral reefs and tropical fish dance under your feet. This is a paradise for beginner divers and a romantic landmark for couples to stroll hand in hand. Tips: Avoid the crowds in the early morning or at dusk to enjoy the tranquility of the sea and sky. 2. Wuzhizhou Island: Dive into the dreamland of "China's Maldives" The alias of Lover's Island is already exciting enough, but its underwater world is even more amazing! Under the clear water, the coral garden is as gorgeous as a painting. Diving, jet skis, parasailing... adrenaline and romance soar together. Must-see: The sunset silhouette on Lover's Bridge will blow up your social media in minutes! 3. Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone: The shocking pilgrimage of the 108m Guanyin on the sea The statue of Guanyin facing the South China Sea stands majestically, and its height of 108m embodies the beauty of faith and art. Stroll through Nanshan Temple, listen to the echoes of the bells, pray silently in front of the "Non-Duality Gate," and feel the Zen between the mountains and the sea. Little secret: The vegetarian food in the scenic area is light, fresh and delicious. Don't miss the "Three Treasures of Nanshan"! 4. Tianya Haijiao: Eternal vows engraved on boulders Two giant rocks carry the love fantasies of countless people. "Tianya" and "Haijiao" stand facing each other, and between the waves lapping against the shore, you can almost hear thousands of years of love stories. Although it is jokingly called "checking in at two rocks," the sense of ritual of "going to the end of the world" is still worth your trip for love. 5. Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park: A green wonderland above the clouds The filming location of "If You Are the One 2" perfectly integrates rainforest and sea views. The Over-the-River Dragon Suspension Bridge spans the valley, and the full sea view glass plank road is like floating in the air. Overlooking the panoramic view of Yalong Bay, every breath is the sweet taste of negative oxygen ions. Hidden gameplay: The "Bird's Nest" hotel on the top of the mountain allows you to experience the wild luxury of sleeping with the stars! 6. Sanya Eternal Love: An epic of the island's history spanning thousands of years Understand Sanya with one performance! From the echoes of ten thousand years in Luobidong to the legendary women of Xian Furen, the high-tech stage collides with the customs of the Li and Miao ethnic groups, and 60 minutes interprets the island's thousand-year civilization. The Yazhou Ancient Street and Li and Miao Villages in the scenic area are also treasure troves for taking photos. 7. Luhuitou Park: A sunset love letter overlooking the entire city The love story between the Li boy and the deer fairy in the legend makes this place the source of Sanya's name as "Deer City." Climb to the top and overlook Sanya Bay, Phoenix Island and the city skyline. When the sunset dyes the sea golden, you will understand what "one glance for ten thousand years" means. Private Tips: Unlock the correct way to experience Sanya - Transportation: The scenic spots are scattered, so renting a car is the most free; city buses start at CNY 2, but it takes a long time. - Accommodation: Choose Dadonghai for convenience, and high-end hotels in Yalong Bay/Haitang Bay for vacation. - Food: Buy and cook fresh seafood at the Youyi Road laid-off workers seafood market, and don't miss the coconut chicken from Diandian! - Avoid pitfalls: Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sanya's ultraviolet rays will teach you a lesson in minutes. The beauty of Sanya is more than just blue seas and white sand. It can be the throbbing of brushing shoulders with schools of fish while diving, the moment of peace in the bells of Nanshan Temple, or a bowl of hot and sour Lingshui rice noodles in the night market. Set off with this list and let every frame of Sanya become a highlight in your life movie! ✨
