  • Nanhai Guanyin -- Dadongtian/Xiaodongtian / Tianya Haijiao
  • 4-Stars Hotel
  • Breakfast

 

In the morning, after having breakfast at the hotel, take a bus to Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone, where stands the world's tallest seaside Guanyin statue, 108 meters high, the largest sea Guanyin statue in the world. Its design is a "three-in-one statue with three faces", divided into east, west and north faces. The north face holds a sutra box, symbolizing wisdom; the east face holds a lotus flower, symbolizing peace; the west face holds prayer beads, symbolizing compassion. In Buddhism, Guanyin Bodhisattva is a symbol of compassion and salvation, deeply revered and loved by believers. Guanyin Bodhisattva has twelve vows, and the second vow is "to reside in the South China Sea forever", hence the name Nanhai Guanyin.
Visitors can walk to the lotus base to pray by touching the Buddha's feet, which requires climbing 108 steps. You can also tie wish ribbons in the Wish Forest next to the Golden and Jade Guanyin Hall. There is also a vegetarian restaurant in the scenic area, and incense sticks are available for free in the scenic area.

 

Recommended route:
Scenic Area Entrance - Battery Car - Seaside Guanyin - Nanshan Temple - Thirty-Three Guanyin Hall - Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum - Return.
 
In the afternoon, take a bus to Dadongtian and Xiaodongtian, which was founded in 1187 AD and has a history of over 800 years. It is the oldest scenic spot in Hainan Province and a Taoist cultural tourist attraction at the southernmost tip of China. Formerly known as Aoshan Dadongtian and Xiaodongtian, it is known as the top landscape in Qiongya. The scenic area features uniquely beautiful sea views, mountain views, and stone views, with mountains and seas integrated, complementing each other. The coast is lined with strange rocks and boulders. Between the two headlands is Xiaoyue Bay Beach, with majestic and elegant mountains and dense vegetation. The scenic area also has more than 30,000 of the oldest plants on earth so far, known as the "living fossil of plants on earth" — dragon's blood trees, which are a symbol of longevity culture.

 

Other recommendations:
If you have enough time, you can also visit Tianya Haijiao, one of the most famous landmark scenic spots in Sanya, famous for the boulders inscribed with "Tianya" (End of the World) and "Haijiao" (Corner of the Sea), symbolizing romantic love and eternal vows. It is suitable for couples, families and tourists who like taking photos. Cliff inscriptions such as "Tianya", "Haijiao" and "Nantian Yizhu" (the background of the back of the fourth set of RMB 2 banknotes) are the core landscapes of the scenic area. These inscriptions carry rich historical and cultural connotations. The term "Tianya Haijiao" was used to express the feeling of being in a foreign land in ancient times, and after thousands of years of accumulation, it has become a symbol of people's yearning for the distance, romance and a better future.
Characteristic experience: You can send postcards with the "Tianya Haijiao" postmark at the Love Post Office; many couples take wedding photos here, with a super beautiful background.
In the evening, go to Coconut Dream Corridor to watch the sunset. It is a 20-kilometer-long coastal landscape avenue in Sanya Bay, known as "Sanya's most beautiful sunset viewing spot" for its stretching coconut groves, delicate beaches and stunning sunsets. It is open for free, suitable for walking, taking photos and cycling, and is one of the most romantic sunset check-in spots in Sanya. The setting sun filtering through the coconut trees creates perfect tropical-style photos. Even in the evening, the ultraviolet rays are still strong, so it is recommended to wear a hat and sunglasses.
Return to the hotel to rest in the evening, and you can choose to explore freely.

 

Recommended itinerary:
Xianmang Night Market: It is one of the emerging internet-famous night markets in Sanya, focusing on tropical fruits, characteristic snacks and a young and trendy atmosphere, especially famous for mango-themed foods, such as: fresh mango shaved ice, mango glutinous rice, zao pocu (fermented vinegar soup), coconut milk qingbuliang (cooling dessert) and so on.

 

Suggestions for major transportation:
You can arrive in Sanya by plane. Sanya Phoenix International Airport has flights to many domestic and foreign cities, such as: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi'an, Kunming, Hangzhou, Hong Kong, Seoul, Busan, Osaka, etc.

 

Accommodation suggestions:
You can choose a hotel near Haitang Bay or Sanya Bay. Of course, you can also consult Intotravelchina consultants for booking or recommendations.

In the afternoon, head to Taiyang Bay Road, hailed as "the most beautiful road in Sanya." Stretching approximately 6 kilometers, this scenic route winds along mountains and coasts, offering breathtaking views of emerald-green peaks on one side and crystal-clear gradient blue waters on the other. Designated parking spots along the way allow visitors to stop and capture stunning photos, making it a must-visit destination for driving and cycling enthusiasts! At the highest point of Taiyang Bay Road, a viewing platform provides panoramic vistas—to the left, you can take in the sweeping beauty of Yalong Bay, clearly spotting its hotels, beaches, and water activities like sailboats and kayaks; to the right, you’ll enjoy a picturesque view of Taiyang Bay itself.

In the evening, visit Yalong Bay Beach, which stretches approximately 7.5 kilometers with soft, pristine white sand and a gently sloping, wide shoreline. The sand, formed from weathered coral and seashells, feels like walking on a plush carpet underfoot. The crystal-clear waters boast visibility of over 10 meters, and the bay maintains a year-round temperature above 23°C, paired with abundant sunshine—creating an ideal coastal getaway.  

Yalong Bay is rich in marine biodiversity, with its soft coral coverage ranking among the highest in the world, making it a paradise for diving enthusiasts. Additionally, the beach features a children’s play area equipped with slides, swings, and other facilities, perfect for families with kids. Visitors can also enjoy sunbathing, beach volleyball, soccer, or a leisurely stroll through the coconut groves, immersing themselves in the beauty of nature.

Q & A

What are the main highlights of this 3-day Sanya tour?
This tour combines natural beauty and cultural heritage! You'll enjoy snorkeling at Wuzhizhou Island, visit the 108-meter Nanhai Guanyin statue, explore the Taoist sites at Dadongtian, relax on Yalong Bay Beach, and even hike through a rainforest. Sunset views and a local night market are also included for a perfect tropical getaway.
What is the best time to visit Sanya for this tour?
We recommend November to March. During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm and dry—ideal for beach activities and outdoor sightseeing. Summer can be hot and rainy, with occasional typhoons, so we avoid that season for a more comfortable experience.
What should I pack and pay attention to before the trip?
Don't forget swimwear, sunscreen, a sun hat, and insect repellent—sun protection is key in tropical Sanya. For temple visits like Nanhai Guanyin, dress modestly (cover shoulders and knees). Our guide will remind you of all details, so you can just relax and enjoy!
