Whether you are a diving beginner or a water sports enthusiast, you can find a way to play that suits you. The land area on the island is equally worth exploring in detail. Lover's Bridge, originally an iron-chain bridge and now rebuilt as a wooden boardwalk, is a popular spot for couples; Sun-Watching Rock, located on the southeast cliff of the island, is a classic vantage point for watching the sunrise over the sea; the Private Custom Pool is widely known for being a filming location in the movie of the same name, and any casual snapshot carries a cinematic quality. The round-island road connects all the attractions, and it is recommended to set aside ample time to walk the entire route at a leisurely pace. A tropical marine ranch has been established in the waters around Wuzhizhou Island. By deploying artificial reefs to restore the coral reef ecosystem, tens of thousands of coral fragments have been planted, attracting groupers, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, prawns, turban shells, and various tropical fish to gather here, providing divers with rich underwater viewing content.

Tianya Haijiao

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.

In 2017, the scenic area was awarded the title of National 4A Tourist Attraction. The deer looks back, love in the human world—The Mountain of Love in the South China Sea There was a young Li ethnic hunter who wore a red headband and carried a bow and arrow. He chased a deer from Wuzhishan in the heart of Hainan Island, crossing 99 mountains and 99 rivers, until he reached the shores of the South China Sea. Below the cliff at the mountain top ahead was the vast sea, and the deer had nowhere to go. As the young hunter drew his bow and aimed, he suddenly saw a flash of fire and smoke rising into the air. The deer turned its head and transformed into a beautiful Li girl. The two fell in love and became a devoted couple. This mountain was therefore named "Luhuitou", becoming a mountain of love where young men and women make vows of eternal love. Main attractions "Do not say the Five Rams are the pride of Yue, their charm cannot compare toLuhuitou." The Luhuitou Statue is the work of the famous Chinese sculptor Lin Yuhao. The statue is 15 m high, 10 m long, and 9 m wide, carved from over 170 pieces of marble over 5 years. Sanya is also known as "Deer City" because of it. Other works from the same period include the Yuhuatai sculpture in Nanjing, the Jianzhen Crossing the Sea group sculpture in Sanya's Xiaodongtian, and the Five Rams sculpture in Guangzhou. Vows on the Mountain of Love—A World of Love Culture The cluster of love-themed attractions, consisting of the "Love" cliff carving, "Eternal Union", "Vows of Eternal Love", "Lock of Hearts", "Couple Trees", "Fairy Deer Tree", "Stone of Everlasting Love", and the "Mountain Alliance Monument", highlights a theme of love where the whole mountain is filled with romance, love, and touching moments. During the six sessions of the Tianya Haijiao International Wedding Festival, couples from home and abroad visit here every November to make vows of eternal love, pledge their union, and pray for a happy and harmonious life together. Praying on the Sacred Mountain—Li Ethnic "Fu" (Blessing) Culture Corridor The Li ethnic folk culture corridor, consisting of the "Peace and Auspiciousness Tree", "Eternal Love", "Sacrificial Ceremony Mural", "Blessing Soul Mural", "Harvest Mural", "Ancestor Worship Mural", "Wedding Mural", "Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity", and the "Frog God Statue", creates an atmosphere of blessing culture where the whole mountain is filled with auspiciousness, peace, and happiness. Mirage—Night View of the Mountain of Love "Suddenly suspecting the Heavenly Emperor scattered bright pearls, the blue water floats with light like a map of the Milky Way. A mirage seems to be in sight, the night breeze is gentle and soothing to the heart." In recent years, the park has introduced artistic night lighting and laser animation performance systems. There are light shows such as "Sky Rose," "City Light," "Moving Head Light," "Sky Cannon," and "Strobe Light," as well as 3D laser animations of the park's beautiful and moving love legends, which are screened every weekend at 8:00 PM. At night, colorful lights dress up the night sky of Sanya into a fairyland on earth, and this place becomes a mirage floating on the sea of city lights. City Scenery—Beiting Viewing Pavilion The highest point for overlooking the panoramic view of Sanya, and an excellent place for climbing to view the sea and watching the sunrise and sunset. As far as the eye can see, the sea and sky are vast, with dotted sails. The magnificent scenery of the sea and sky, and the coastal charm, are all in full view. The mountains, sea, city, and river are all in sight. At night, the mountain is adorned with gorgeous lights, and the city below is filled with thousands of lights. Watching the beautiful night view of Sanya is refreshing and delightful. Blessings Fill the Mountain of Love—Purple Air Comes from the East The park's sunrise viewing spot. Standing here and looking into the distance, the red sun begins to emerge, the vast sea is boundless, clouds are steaming and rosy, and purple air is swirling. Dadonghai Beach and Xiaodonghai Bay gather here in a horn-like formation. Spiritual energy gathers here, and blessings are inherited. It is the peak of "blessings as vast as the East Sea," a place where good fortune gathers, and a prayer platform has been built. The famous Chinese calligrapher and painter Mr. Wangshan has inscribed a poem for this place. Immortal Traces Remain Forever—Tianya Travels "Tianya Travels" was inscribed by Mr. Lai Shaoqi. Mr. Lai Shaoqi was one of the few survivors of the Shangrao Concentration Camp. When he visited Sanya, he reflected on his life, having endured many hardships in this lifetime. After coming out of the concentration camp, climbing to this place felt like a rebirth. Having seen the ends of the earth, it felt even more like stepping into a heavenly fairyland. He called himself an immortal, enjoying the fairyland alone, and left the inscription "Tianya Travels" to express his immortal journey.

Enjoyed my day trip to the island. Sceneries are pretty as what most other reviews mentioned. The buggy rides are convenient and made it easy to navigate. I enjoyed the animal stop (paw paradise) the most. The roaming ducks were super cute. Aslo saw little goats, pigs, alpaca, giant turtle etc. But did not see any capybaras. The downer was that the swimming area at the last stop was closed, no swimming allowed when I was there. Also note, beware that waves can be quite choppy for the ferry ride for those that get seasick.

We had a really fun day out as a family. The environment was clean, the prices were affordable, and the staff were friendly and pleasant—it was a great experience.

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.

The manta ray feeding was fun, although it should actually be stingrays instead of manta rays. They gave you two small fish, but after feeding you, you could touch them as much as you wanted. The island scenery was also very beautiful.

Really a nice visit, experiencing the cultivated nature. Take the shuttle between the different areas.

The beluga whales were so cute! Andy and Tina were so lively too. And Xiao Huang told us there's a mermaid show at 11:00! Xiao Ping really liked the giant octopus.

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.

Free entry - spend on a buggy if not up for the walk. Fantastic 360 views of Sanya. Worth a couple of hours just taking in the fresh air and great views
