Known as “The First Bay Under Heaven,” Yalong Bay boasts a 7-kilometer crescent-shaped beach with powdery white sand and crystal-clear, jelly-colored waters.

Place to Visit in Sanya - Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone

This is a significant cultural and spiritual site, most famous for its 108-meter-tall Guanyin statue standing in the sea. As the world’s tallest white Guanyin statue, it’s a breathtaking sight and a major pilgrimage destination. The expansive park also features the Nanshan Temple, a vegetarian restaurant, and beautiful coastal views. Visiting here offers a peaceful escape and a chance to learn about Buddhist culture. Be prepared for a lot of walking; purchasing the sightseeing cart ticket is essential to cover the vast area comfortably.

Place to Visit in Sanya - Luhuitou Park

For the best panoramic views of Sanya, head to Luhuitou Park. Located on a hilltop, this free park offers a 360-degree vista of the city, Sanya Bay, and the ocean. The highlight is the giant Luhuitou (Deer Turning Its Head) sculpture, which tells a romantic Li minority legend and is the origin of Sanya’s nickname, “Deer City”. The best time to visit is in the late afternoon; you can witness the stunning “orange sea” sunset followed by the sparkling city lights after dark.

Cuisine in Sanya - Wenchang Chicken

Wenchang Chicken is the undisputed “King of Hainan’s Four Famous Dishes” and a must-try for every visitor. The chicken is prized for its thin, smooth skin and tender, subtly sweet meat. The traditional preparation is “white-cut” (poached), which best preserves the chicken’s natural flavor and texture. It is always served with a dipping sauce of ginger, garlic, and local small limes, alongside fragrant chicken rice cooked in chicken broth. In Hainan, no banquet is complete without it.

Cuisine in Sanya - Hainan Rice Noodles 海南粉

Hainan Rice Noodles are the soul of Sanya’s breakfast culture and a true taste of local life. This dish features thin rice noodles topped with a generous array of garnishes, including fish cake slices, crushed peanuts, fried shrimp skin, bean sprouts, and pickled vegetables. The magic lies in the broth—a rich, milky-white stock made from pork bones and sea clams that is poured over the noodles. The result is a bowl of savory, slightly sweet, and incredibly satisfying flavors that locals enjoy every morning.
