Wuzhizhou Island is located in Haitang Bay, Sanya, covering an area of approx. 1.48 square kilometers. Viewed from above, it takes on a natural heart shape and is also known as "Lover's Island." The island has a vegetation coverage rate of over 90%, and the surrounding seawater has high visibility with rich coral species, making it one of the few small islands around Hainan Island that boasts both freshwater resources and dense vegetation. The island's standout feature is its "sea, land, air, and underwater" four-in-one ocean experience. Underwater, there are four distinctive dive sites: Qilin Sea, Back Garden, Glass Fish Planet, and Little Universe. Qilin Sea is located in the waters north of Wuzhizhou Island, where an underwater shipwreck and a submerged Qilin statue are interspersed among coral conservation frames; Back Garden is located on the south side of the island and boasts the island's spectacular coral communities, with white sand channels winding between corals of various shapes; Glass Fish Planet is renowned for its fish tornadoes and underwater photography; Little Universe dive site is located north-by-east of Wuzhizhou Island, with a depth of 5-20 m, and is a tiny world for the small marine creatures of Wuzhizhou Island. Surface activities include dynamic speedboats, flyboards, rainbow parasailing, jet skis, and other new water entertainment introduced from abroad; in the air, you can experience a helicopter tour around the island. 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.

Located in Haitang Bay, Sanya, Atlantis Sanya is themed around the mystery of the lost continent of Atlantis and brings together a water park, an aquarium, marine animal interactions, and resident performances in one place. It is an ocean-culture-themed vacation destination, ideal for family-friendly households to take a few days to experience at a leisurely pace. Atlantis Water World is the main event of the day: climb the towering Poseidon's Tower and plunge down slides like "Leap of Faith" and "The Drop," while the "Shark Tunnel" slide takes you through a shark tank tunnel where you can see sharks through the glass; the park also features a rushing lazy river and a splash area for kids, so the whole family can have fun. The Lost Chambers Aquarium is centered on the Ambassador Lagoon. Standing before the giant transparent viewing wall over ten meters high, tens of thousands of marine creatures swim past in schools, beluga whales gracefully flick their tails in the water, and the mermaid performances and feeding fish from a crystal glass boat with a transparent bottom are also quite popular; the adjacent Dolphin Bay is an open-air habitat for dolphins and sea lions, where you can choose interactive programs by age and get up close to these ocean spirits. In the evening, the long-running C Show is staged at the C Show Theater; the water stunts and lighting effects on the three-dimensional stage spanning water, land, and air are a reason many families specifically stay. On your itinerary, it is recommended to visit the water world during the day and explore the aquarium or watch shows after dusk; this route is more relaxed and helps you avoid the midday sun.

Nanwan Monkey island Eco-tourist Attraction Zone

4.3/5
1.9k reviews

Nanwan Monkey island Eco-tourist Attraction Zone is located on the Nanwan Peninsula in Lingshui, Hainan. It is a tropical island-type macaque nature reserve surrounded by the sea on three sides, consisting of two areas: Monkey Island Park and Daidai Island. Watching wild macaques here is a unique experience that distinguishes it from most coastal attractions in Hainan – over a thousand macaques inhabit the dense forests on the island, and visitors often encounter monkey families along the walking trails. In Monkey Island Park, macaques chase and play among the greenery and branches, utterly unselfconscious. The monkey viewing pavilion, the highest point on the tour route, offers a panoramic view of the island's forest and surrounding sea. During hot weather, the "Sacred Bath Pool" becomes the macaques' water park, where you can see them swim, dive, and even go diving. Macaque acrobatics and humorous skits are regular long-running performances in the park, providing lighthearted entertainment. There are two ways to get to the island: take the cross-sea sightseeing cableway to soar over the sea, or take a boat from the pier and transfer to a shuttle bus to go up the mountain. The over 2000 m cableway takes approx. 6 mins for a one-way trip. The cable car glides over the sea surface, offering a view of the clustered fishing rafts of the Tanka people in Xincun Port below—this "floating market" with its stilt houses and fishing boats forms a typical Tanka fishing port scene, which is a major highlight when taking the cable car to the island. Daidai Island is located in the coastal area of the peninsula's southwest, adjacent to Qingshui Bay to the west and facing Wuzhizhou Island across the sea. The several-km-long beach and coconut groves are dotted with props like ancient boats, colorful beach chairs, canopy beds, and swings, making it a hotspot for photo ops. The giant reef "Divine turtle exploring the sea" divides the beach into two sections, and the black sand beach, a rare sight, can be seen on the side of South Bay. The macaques on the island are not afraid of people. Please keep your food in your bag. Feeding and photo-taking must be done under staff guidance using the special food provided by the attraction. If you plan to experience the cable car, it is recommended to start early to avoid long queues.

Шикарный парк. Планировали заехать на час, ради фото со стеклянного моста, но зависли на 3 часа. При этом успели посмотреть только несколько мест. Канатный мост, шикарен, впечатлений у нас даже больше чем от стеклянного. Отличное место возле часовни в облаках, очень атмосферно. Главных два правила: 1) приезжайте к 15.00, тогда не будет много людей, и к самому пику у вас будут атмосферные фото, ближе к 17.00. 2) на автобусе поднимайтесь сразу до канатного моста. Так вы

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.

There aren't many queues. There are rides (Rust Mountain Rafting, South China Sea Train, roller coasters, etc.), animal feeding (tortoises, seals, manatees, rays, penguins, etc., 588 RMB/2 people), and shows (mermaid show, whale show). There are fireworks at 8:30 PM and iron flower displays at 7:30 PM. It's quite expensive, but car rental is convenient (400 RMB/day).

If you like water sports, it should be okay. Otherwise, there's not much to see. It's windy and the sand is coarse. If you want to see the sea, go to Qingshui Bay. If you want to experience the surging tides, go to Xiangshui Bay. As for the scenery, you can see it everywhere. The only thing to note is that it's expensive.

The scenery was stunning, perfectly reflecting the landscape of the Nordic town. The animals were especially adorable, particularly the seals. I wonder if there were sea lions there too; I hope to see them and watch a show next time.

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 dogs are cute and mischievous. Many parents bring their children to play, buy snacks to feed the monkeys, and watch them leisurely sunbathe, pick fleas, chase each other, and frolic. My mom really enjoys watching, and we also just stand there, basking in the monkeys' carefree and joyful atmosphere.

The diving experience was surprisingly good. The instructors were reliable and beginner-friendly. Watching the fish underwater was thrilling, and there were no hidden costs. Students should remember to bring their student IDs for summer discounts. I brought my child, who can't swim at all, and I was worried he'd be scared and wouldn't go in the water. The instructors were incredibly patient, repeatedly explaining the techniques to my child on shore and calming him down. They stayed close to him and protected him throughout the dive. My child was a little nervous at first, but gradually relaxed. He was especially excited to see the fish swim past. Overall, it was a very safe and enjoyable experience.
