Collection of Sanya Bay attractions
Coconut Dream Corridor
Ticket Price: Free
Opening Hours: All day
Highlights: The best place to watch the sunset in Sanya! More than 20 kilometers of coconut breeze and sea rhyme, and the coconut trees that stretch for miles are reflected on the beach. It is really super beautiful, and the viewing effect is unique because of the long coastline!
Recommendation: It is best to go to the Coconut Dream Corridor for a drive and take photos of the sunset at 5-6 pm!
Avoiding Pitfalls:
1. Be sure to bring a bottle of mosquito repellent, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the Coconut Dream Corridor, there are a lot of midges near the coconut trees, and they are very poisonous!
2. Don't talk to wild photographers, they charge you for poor skills!
3. Don't go there at noon, it's especially sunny!
4. Don't go into the sea, the water is too deep, there are many undercurrents on the seabed, and it's easy to be swept away!
Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone

The most iconic attraction in the Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone is undoubtedly the 108-meter Guanyin of the South Sea, standing majestically at the edge of the ocean. This grand statue consists of three faces:
● The first face holds a lotus, symbolizing peace, harmony, and prosperity.
● The second face holds a sutra box, representing wisdom and inclusiveness.
● The third face holds prayer beads, signifying devotion and compassion.
This unique three-in-one design is one of a kind in the world—a must-visit spot!
Recommendation:
As a renowned Buddhist site in Sanya, the 108-meter Guanyin statue is a must-see. Don't forget to touch the feet of the Guanyin statue for good luck!
The park is quite large, so it's recommended to purchase a sightseeing bus ticket to save time and energy.

Guide to Avoid Scams in Sanya Seafood Market
- When buying seafood, you can bring a small scale to prevent merchants from shortchanging you.
- After choosing seafood, be sure to pour out the water in the bag, and it is best to cut a small hole.
- When choosing seafood, be sure to choose the kind that moves around lively. Generally, those that lie still are basically not fresh, and you may not be able to buy them back.
- Don't rush to buy as soon as you enter the market. You can walk around more and get familiar with the price of each seafood. You have a good idea of it, and the ones at the door are generally more expensive.
- It is recommended to buy them all at one place in the end, so that it is convenient to bargain with the boss.
- Coconut chicken may not suit the taste of the public, and there will be a little sweet chicken soup.
In addition to many scenic spots, Sanya also has many other experiences such as yachting and helicopter sightseeing, which I will not go into detail. Guests who need this can consult our customer service staff.
