#sanyatrip The Nanshan Buddhist Temple is a truly remarkable place that offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere. Upon arrival, you'll be captivated by the breathtaking natural surroundings, with lush greenery, rolling hills, and the beautiful South China Sea as a backdrop. The temple complex is vast and well-maintained, showcasing exquisite architecture and intricate Buddhist artwork. One of the highlights of the Nanshan Buddhist Temple is the towering statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, which stands at an impressive height of 108 meters. This majestic statue is an iconic symbol of the temple and a sight to behold. Visitors can climb to the top of the statue, where they are rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding area. #mytripvlog#urbanexplorer#tripblazers#awesomepic#summervacation #passionpassport#sanya#hainan#china

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.. So better yet prepare 150-180 in case you wanna see every temple inside that require extra payments . ‼️Tip: 1. Rent an ebike so you can just drive from your hotel. Such a fun experience #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #temple #park #sanya #nationalpark #china #chinatravel

🔥 You have to travel to this park if you plan to travel to Hainan. It’s even clearly visible from the window of the airport when you are about to land. ❗️ The beautiful statue is 108 m tall located in Nanshan district of Sanya. It’s made of gold, diamond and jade. 📍 崖城镇南山文化旅游区内 💴 The park tickets are 258 RMB. There are also free buses in the park. Plan to spend half of your day in the park. It’s just beautiful. There are also some restaurants and shops. 📸@_ana_mee_ on Instagram #asiatrip #sanyatravel #lifeinchina #hainan #beachlife #vacation

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

Getting There - You can take a bus which goes all the way to the park or you can take a Didi which cost me 150rmb Attractions - The park is big and beautiful. There is so much to see and photograph. Unfortunately there were heavy rains so I couldn't see much except for the temple under the Goddess. Hotels - I stayed at the Phoenix Island Resort on Phoenix Island. It's famous for having bathtubs on the balcony of each room. Food & Restaurants - Plenty of food vendors on site. Only Chinese food, no western. Shopping - lots of gift shops. #beachlife #staycation #hiking #sanya #sightseeing #china

In #sanya , you can find a huge and peaceful looking Guanyin statue in Nanshan. It is set beautifully in the sea and near a very nice #beach This amazing statue is more than 100 meters tall and set in the sea. It should still be one of tallest statues around. To access it, you have to walk through a long bridge. To get there, easiest is to follow a day tour where they will bring you there directly and give you clear instructions on access. Quite a lot of walking is required so do be prepared. It is definitely worth going there to take a look as it is extremely beautiful and peaceful looking if you are in Sanya for a #holiday #scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#awesomepic#culturalattractions

You can see a different culture there. it’s not just only the Buddha statue, so you can walk around the area which I enjoyed most. I took a local bus from Sanya bay which cost 12 yen ish. that was actually interesting. You should try if you have time. #holidayvacation

5 Days of Wild Fun in Sanya with Your Besties! Must-Visit Spots + Food Guide || Just returned from Sanya with sun-kissed arms and a heart full of joy, I stayed up all night compiling this "Attraction Recommendations + Food Guide" based on firsthand experiences with my BFFs🥰 📷 Must-Visit Spots in Sanya 🌅 Coconut Dream Corridor Best time to visit: After 5 PM!! When the sunset paints the sea orange🍊, every shot looks like a movie still!! We rented a tandem bike (¥20/hour) and hummed "To Dali" while riding, only for the sea breeze to blow off our hair extensions🌚. Bring a light-colored scarf—draping it over your shoulders for a side-profile shot adds major vibes~ Hidden gem: Look for grannies selling seashell🐚 wind chimes (¥15/each) on the beach. Use one as a prop for a "listening to the ocean" close-up with your BFF—our WeChat Moments blew up with requests for the link! 🏠 Tianya Town ✅ Blue-and-white sloped streets: Have your BFF shoot from above while you wear a bright sundress👗 (yellow recommended!). Capture the dress fluttering mid-movement to instantly become a "runaway Sanya princess"~ ✅ Seaside café terrace: Order two coconut smoothies and pretend to clink glasses while chatting. Have the photographer crouch at a 45-degree angle for legs that look 2.8 meters long! Warning: Skip the heels!! The cobblestone roads are so uneven we saw someone in stilettos face-plant into flower bushes—too tragic😂 👍 Nanshan Temple Highlights: ✅ 108-meter-tall Guanyin Statue: Rent an audio guide (¥30)! Hearing the story of the "Three-Faced Guanyin" as you approach is genuinely moving. We took a back-view photo at the statue’s feet, hands clasped, wishing for "wealth + love"~ ✅ Vegetarian restaurant: Try the "Lucky Trio"—three unique tofu dishes. Photo tip: The coconut grove🌴 to the left of the statue is perfect for zen-style shots! Place your phone on the ground for a low-angle shot with palm trees and sky as the backdrop—next-level aesthetics~ 🌠 Tianya Haijiao (End of the Earth) Getting a shot with the iconic rocks is all about "squeezing through gaps"! Head straight to the beach to the right of the "Tianya Stone"—fewer crowds and plenty of reefs. Pick up a seashell as a "ring" and take goofy photos "exchanging rings" with your BFF—we laughed till our stomachs hurt~ Bonus: Tianya ice cream (¥25)!! Go for coconut flavor—posing with the rocks makes for a ritualistic shot. 🦞 Food Recs 1. Uncle Coconut’s Zuopocu & Coconut Chicken Hot Pot Their dual-flavor hot pot is legendary!! The left side’s tangy zuopocu broth cooks seafood instantly (shrimp balls🦐 are a must), while the right side’s fresh coconut water simmers Wenchang chicken—so sweet we wanted to take the broth home! 2. Qiong’s Fragrant Herb Duck The duck is fall-off-the-bone tender. The waiter said the ducks grew up eating herbs, fish🐟, and shrimp🦐, paired with a secret sauce that gets better with each bite. "This duck lived a more refined life than me," we joked. 3. Qiong Ye’s Coconut Ice & Qingbuliang Their "family feast" qingbuliang piles taro balls, sago, red beans, and coconut jelly into a mountain, drenched in fresh coconut milk—filling enough for a meal. Don’t miss the mango🥭 shaved ice—blended with real fruit, every bite bursts with flavor. We raced here daily after sightseeing~

Compared to other popular tourist destinations, Sanya’s beaches, food, and accommodation experiences are all amazing! ✅Transportation Guide ✈️ Airports: Sanya Phoenix International Airport, Haikou Meilan Airport 🚄 Sanya High-Speed Rail Stations: Sanya Station, Phoenix Airport Station, Yalong Bay Station, Yazhou Station 🚖 Getting around Sanya: Taxi + bus or car rental ✔️ Besides tickets from Phoenix Airport, also check Meilan Airport for more flight options and compare prices. Meilan Airport has a high-speed rail station inside, which can directly transfer to Sanya high-speed rail station. ✔️ Don’t take unlicensed roadside taxis, as they tend to overcharge. Ride-hailing apps have transparent pricing and are better; buses charge by segments, scan the ride code on the mini program when boarding and alighting; choose big platforms for car rental and buy insurance for peace of mind. 🏚 Hotel Recommendations 🔸 Hotels in the Sanya Bay area offer better value for money and convenient travel, close to Yalong Dream Corridor, with truly healing seaside sunsets every night. 🔸 Yalong Bay hotels are more comfortable and offer more hotel activities, very suitable for family trips (some hotels have private beaches). 🔸 Haitang Bay hotels offer more privacy, mostly luxury hotels, suitable for girlfriends, couples, and family trips. 🔸 Near Dadonghai, there are many cost-effective hotels, as well as homestays and hostels to choose from. 🌻 I chose a homestay close to the beach, spending a total of 800 RMB for four nights 💵 💃🏼 5-Day Tour Itinerary Reference ✔️ Day 1: Nanshan Temple 👉🏻 Tianya Town 👉🏻 Tianya Haijiao ✔️ Day 2: West Island 👉🏻 Yalong Dream Corridor 👉🏻 Yiheng Night Market ✔️ Day 3: Dadonghai 👉🏻 Sailing Port 👉🏻 Luhuitou ✔️ Day 4: Tropical Paradise Forest Park 👉🏻 Sun Bay Road ✔️ Day 5: Wuzhizhou Island 👉🏻 Houhai Village 🌈 Must-Visit Attractions 1️⃣ Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone (103 RMB): The 108-meter sea Guanyin statue is truly stunning.

#Dragon Boat Festival good places 🌞Weather The recent temperature is around 28°-32°. It has been raining for a few days at the end of the month due to the typhoon, but it is just a shower and will stop after a while. The sun will come out at noon and the temperature will feel around 32 degrees. Sisters can choose to visit the scenic spots at noon. - 🚦Transportation Basically, I take a taxi + bus. Since it is not far to go anywhere if I live in Dadonghai or Sanya Bay, sisters who have the conditions can choose to drive themselves. Hainan Expressway is free, and the fare is not expensive if several people share it. - 🏠Accommodation It is recommended to choose a hotel near Dadonghai or Sanya Bay, which is close to the city, convenient for eating, drinking and entertainment, and cost-effective. - 🏖️Itinerary Day 1️⃣: Nanshan Temple ➡️Tianya Town 🏝️Nanshan Temple (103/person) You must take a sightseeing bus when visiting. The scenic area is very large and it is really tiring to just walk. Tour route 👉🏻Unrivaled Dharma-Golden Jade Guanyin-Sea Guanyin-Longevity Ancient Temple-Bodhi Tree-Nanshan Temple-Nanshan Seaside-Thirty-three Guanyin Hall-Cihang Pudu Garden 🏝️Tianya Town (free) The blue and white town along the coast is very pleasant, where you can drink coffee, watch the sea and enjoy the sea breeze! It's so beautiful on a sunny day, the sea is very blue, and every alley leading to the beach is very photogenic . Day 2️⃣: West Island ➡️ Coconut Dream Corridor ➡️ Yiheng Night Market 🏝️West Island (90/person) The sea water is clear and it is a coral reef protection area. There are also unique coral houses on the island. Find a homestay to stay for a night, go to the beach to catch seafood at night, get up early to go to the fish market, and experience the island life happily. 🏝️Coconut Dream Corridor (free) At around 5 pm, we navigated to the large lawn opposite the "Haiyun Hotel". The view was wide and there were few people, so it was great for taking photos. We had dinner at Nanhai Li Village. We watched folk dance while eating. It was so enjoyable. 🏝️Yiheng Night Market I went to the Yiheng Night Market nearby and bought a lot of small skirts in the evening. Many of them were 100 yuan/3 pieces. There are many kinds of snacks here, but it's a bit crowded. - Day3️⃣Sailing Harbor➡️Dadonghai Beach Bar 🏝️Sailing Harbor (free) It takes at most an hour to visit here. The clear sky is super photogenic, and there are all kinds of sailboats. There is also a private area with sailboats named after different people. 🏝️Dadonghai Beach Bar (free) The beach chairs by the sea, the swaying coconut trees, the sea breeze, and the sound of the waves are simply too chill. You can eat at the nearby Bu Zai Ke Seafood. Their specialty spicy crab noodles are super delicious, and the best part is that you can get more noodles for free! - 🍜Other food recommendations ➡️Yanjiang Hainanese cuisine➡️Aju cold drinks➡️Puqian Apo dregs vinegar hot pot (Yalong Bay)➡️Junrui sour noodles snack shop➡️Qianniu dregs beef➡️Tanglaopu Qingbuliang➡️Danjia Lao flavor

📌 Tips to Avoid Pitfalls 1. 🏠 There are many homestays in Hainan. Check if the homestay has all necessary licenses, and read reviews on booking platforms carefully to learn about others' experiences. 2. 🏨 Book accommodations in advance during peak seasons, or prices may rise and satisfactory rooms may sell out. 3. 🎟️ Combined tickets are available for Dadai Island and Nanwan Monkey Island. Buying the combo ticket is more cost-effective than purchasing separately if you plan to visit both. 4. 🏛️ Remember to make reservations in advance for Hainan Provincial Museum and Cloud Cave Library, as walk-ins are not allowed. 5. 🌦️ Hainan's weather is unpredictable, with sudden rain and sunshine. Bring an umbrella for both shade and rain protection. 6. 🚗 No need to join a tour group in Hainan—just plan your own itinerary. 📸 Must-Visit Attractions 1. 📍 Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone (103r💰): Features a 108-meter-tall Guanyin statue by the sea for blessings and prayers. Free incense is provided. Recommended to take the sightseeing bus (30-min ride). 2. 📍 West Island (92r💰): A picturesque fishing village with crystal-clear waters and affordable prices, perfect for leisurely exploration (Route: Beach Bathing Area - Coral Wall - Love Graffiti - Lazy Tree - Sea Book House - Love Book House - Niuwangling). 3. 📍 Coconut Dream Corridor (Free🆓): A 20-km-long coconut-lined beach, ideal for sunset views. Best visited in the evening. Requires a short hike or take the sightseeing bus. 4. 📍 Tianya Town (Free🆓): Blue-and-white houses by the sea, dubbed "Little Santorini," great for relaxation and ocean views (Photo spots: Alleys leading to the sea / French Love Wall / Hailili / Turkish Blue Wall). 5. 📍 Dadonghai Beach (Free🆓): A vibrant blue bay near downtown with a free bathing area and resort-like scenery. 6. 📍 Deer Head Park (Free🆓): A romantic seaside spot symbolizing love, perfect for couples. Offers panoramic night views of Sanya. Best visited in the evening. Requires a short hike or take the sightseeing bus. [!][×][○] Choose reputable car rental platforms and consider insurance for peace of mind. 🍽️ Food Recommendations🍤 Sanya specialties: Pandan egg tarts, pandan jelly shrimp, Baoluo noodles, Hainan noodles, and Qingbuliang (a chilled dessert). Dinner picks: Duoduo’s Coconut Chicken, 87th Fishing Boat Seafood, Hupo Fragrant Duck, Taiqiong Fermented Vinegar Hotpot, and Qiongxiangge Authentic Hainan Cuisine.

[ShyUU] This May Day holiday, I experienced an "off-the-beaten-path" low-season getaway in one of Sanya's popular destinations. Even the pickup driver remarked: "It's less crowded than before May Day." This is Yalong Bay in Sanya, where I stayed at the Hilton Sanya Yalong Bay Resort for around 600 yuan during the holiday. [GreatWall] Room Layout: Having switched rooms midway, I experienced both the Garden View Kool Kidz Suite and the Pool Access Room, each with unique features. The Kool Kidz Suite (Super Wings themed) was fully equipped for two children with double sets of plush toys, toothbrushes, towels, bathrobes... even a step stool for the toilet. Both sea view and garden view suites offer this option (approx. +100 yuan, with discounts for extended stays). The suite features an entrance corridor, living room, balcony (twice the size of standard rooms), and bedroom. Being an end unit, it benefits from three-sided natural lighting. Pool Access Rooms are located in Buildings 2 and 3 with direct pool access. However, the bathtub, shower, toilet, and vanity are linearly arranged near the bed, making the space feel somewhat cramped. A plus is the separate walk-in closet by the entrance for convenient luggage storage. The room glass provides excellent privacy - completely opaque from outside even with lights on. [!] Key differences between the two room types: [One] Suite slippers are softer and more comfortable than pool room ones. [Two] Minibar gets fully restocked daily in suites but remains empty in pool rooms. [Three] Suite AC cools slower than the more powerful pool room system. [Clink] Dining Experience: The Chinese restaurant is highly recommended. Their Crispy Sesame Chicken and Wasabi Prawn Balls with Cheese are absolute must-tries. [RedHeart] The Crispy Sesame Chicken features crackling skin with tender Wenchang chicken meat - an innovative take on the Hainan classic. The prawn balls combine crispy coating with molten cheese and whole shrimp for an explosive burst of flavor. [DoubleHearts] Other highlights include Traditional Dongshan Lamb, Sweet & Sour Pork with Mango (not overly sweet), Bamboo Tube Black Pork, and Dongpo Pork. [HeartBeat] The lobby lounge serves 9.9 yuan soufflés in original (mango), strawberry, and chocolate flavors. Instead of whipped cream, they use thick yogurt topping for a novel twist. [YellowHeart] Breakfast is comparatively ordinary without fresh juices. The only local specialty is standard Qīng Bǔ Liáng (Hainan dessert soup). [CoconutTree] Hotel Facilities: The star feature is undoubtedly the pool complex. The cave pool periodically releases waterfall flows that kids love playing under. There's a children's mock beach in the shallow area, though the sand could use refreshing. The pool zones are well-designed: an elevated infinity pool, shaded family area, and cave exploration section - perfect for paddleboard rentals. [SunGlasses] Nearby Attractions: [One] Fairy Caves is an often-overlooked cultural site featuring longevity calligraphy by famous figures and the legendary Dragon's Blood Tree. [RedHeart] [Two] The South Sea Goddess of Mercy is a Sanya must-visit, with excellent vegetarian cuisine. [HeartBeat] [Three] Yacheng Confucian Temple, China's southernmost, dates to the Song Dynasty with Qing architecture, though the cultural atmosphere feels somewhat diluted. [BlueHeart] [BeachUmbrella] Stunning Beach: Yalong Bay's public beach was the trip highlight, with lifeguards and designated shallow swimming areas. The tangerine-hued sea surpasses even Coconut Palm Corridor's beauty. With enough clouds, you might witness spectacular sunset glows. [HeartBeat] Overall Experience: The hotel prioritizes guest satisfaction. Room upgrades are often available at discounted rates, with many guests receiving pre-arrival surveys - mountain views frequently get upgraded to sea views when available. Complimentary shuttles to attractions make this the top accommodation choice in Yalong Bay.

The most recommended places to stay when visiting Sanya by the sea are Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay. Closer to the city and more convenient to major tourist attractions, many tourists choose to stay in Yalong Bay. I recommend a five-star hotel with great value for money in Yalong Bay, Metropark International Villa Resort, Yalong Bay. The accommodation experience was very good. 【可乐】 First of all, the hotel is located not far from the seaside of Yalong Bay. It is very convenient to go to the scenic spot, but it is quiet in the bustle and the environment is very quiet. The surrounding tropical plants isolate the hotel area into a very quiet and independent space. Secondly, the hotel rooms are mainly detached villas, each with an area of ​​over 100 square meters. Each villa has a separate swimming pool, patio area and gazebo, perfect for a family vacation with separate private space. Third, the hotel service is very good, the staff is friendly and very hospitable to the guests. There will be service staff proactively providing services in and out, from the hotel lobby to the villa area, the hotel will provide battery car transfer, need to leave the hotel to go out, call the front desk, within 5 minutes there will be a sightseeing car to pick up. Fourth, the environment inside the villa area is very good, filled with all kinds of tropical plants, giving people a feeling of being in a tropical rainforest, although the plants are dense, the whole villa area rarely appear mosquitoes, this is really particularly comforting, for mosquito people really too friendly. [咧嘴一笑]。 The drawback of this hotel may be that it is not entirely close to the sea and does not have its own private beach. Perhaps because of this, as a five-star hotel, the price is not particularly expensive, and it is very good to have its own separate pool. In short, in terms of value for money, I think it is impeccable.

❤Recommendation reason: Our schedule this time was quite tight, as we had limited vacation time, so we didn’t include Wanning in our itinerary at first. However, after watching the variety show “Summer Surf Shop”, we were attracted by the coziness and freedom of Wanning, so we squeezed out a day and made Wanning the first stop of our trip! 🗓Itinerary: ✨D1: Go straight to the airport after get off work, arrive at Haikou Meilan Airport at around 10 pm, and check in directly to Haikou Meilan International Airport Hotel (Terminal T1T2 Branch), which is 130 meters away on foot, to facilitate the next day's itinerary. The hotel is super close to the airport and clean, with a high cost-effectiveness! [Awesome] ✨D2 morning: I got up early and checked in at the Haikou Bell Tower and Qilou Old Street (the airport hotel was originally located below the train station, which was very convenient, but since I was already here, I might as well take a photo of Haikou's iconic attractions as a souvenir, so it was equivalent to spending an extra round trip), and immediately caught the train after checking in✅. We arrived in Wanning in less than an hour and checked into the Jundun Hotel (Wanning High-speed Railway Station). The price was not expensive, which was a little surprising because I booked it in a hurry and followed my habit of staying close to home (to facilitate the subsequent train to Sanya). The hotel is very close to the train station and became my first choice. The overall cleanliness, friendly service, convenient check-in and great value for money! D2 afternoon: Put away the luggage, take the equipment, and then take a taxi 🚗 to go to "Summer Surf Shop" & 🏄 (not knowing how to swim caused psychological fear. Although it was not successful, it was still a small attempt [Awesome]). If you have plenty of time and love surfing, you can stay longer and have fun! ✨D3: 🚄Yalong Bay Station, then take a taxi to the hotel, Atlantis Sanya. This hotel is good for those with children. Guests can use facial recognition to visit Atlantis Water World Sanya and The Lost Chambers Aquarium Sanya an unlimited number of times. ✨D4: You can take a taxi or charter a car to Nanshan Cultural Tourism Area, spend a day of worship🙏, and climb Nanshan Sea Goddess of Mercy, which is spectacular! ✨D5: Sleep until you wake up naturally ~ The hotel will send you directly to the airport for free, ✈️Go home happily! 🏠
