West Island, Sanya.

A carefree and romantic tourist destination for vacation and leisure · West Island · Sanya West Island Marine Culture Tourism Zone is a national 4A-level tourist attraction. West Island, formerly known as Ximao Island, is about 8 nautical miles from the core area of Sanya City and about 3 nautical miles from Tianya Haijiao Scenic Spot. With minimal seawater pollution, the island boasts beautiful scenery, fresh air, soft beaches, and crystal-clear waters. It was once the filming location for the movie "Hai Xia." A large number of beautiful corals grow in the waters around the island, and various colorful tropical fish live there. Marine Entertainment World: A collection of various marine leisure and entertainment activities, such as fishing, diving, jet skiing, water skiing, parasailing, sailing, banana boating, sea walking, and glass-bottom boat sightseeing. It has the largest and best fishing club in Sanya. A vast and soft sandy beach on the northwest corner of the island is the main venue for swimming and various water sports in Entertainment World. West Island is not only a well-known tourist area in Hainan but also an important outpost in the South China Sea. Standing tall on the South China Sea with the facing East Island, it forms a strategic position, guarding the throat of Sanya's maritime traffic, and is known as "the two eyes of the South China Sea outpost." In the 1960s, a nationally renowned women's militia company was active on the island. They defended the borders with passion, and Chairman Mao Zedong wrote a poem for them: "Seven Wonders: Inscription for a Photo of Women Militia" - Valiant and heroic with five-foot rifles, the first rays of dawn illuminate the training ground. Many Chinese sons and daughters have extraordinary ambitions, they love arms, not makeup!
