#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

Hainan, Sanya is definitely a must go place where you can enjoy both mountain and sea! Guanyin of Nanshan is an unique Buddhist Temple and you will be amazed by how grand the Guanyin statue is! Apart from that, you can also enjoy seaview there! Yalong Bay Tropic Paradise Forest Park is a interesting place to visit for those that likes nature and it's also the filming location for Chinese drama called "亲爱的热爱的" also known as "Go Go Squid". We decided to go First Market for our seafood feast! However, do beware of some scam for the pricing of the seafood. Other than that, the food are delicious! Last but not least, the sunset view there are awesome!

The Nanshan Sea Goddess of Mercy is located in the Nanshan Scenic Area in Sanya City, Hainan Province. It is 108 meters high and made of titanium alloy. It is as white as jade. It is the tallest Guanyin statue in the world (surpassing the 88-meter-high Lingshan Giant Buddha, the largest Buddha in China). According to historical records, the entire Guanyin statue cost 800 million yuan and took six years to build. It is known as Hainan's "treasure of the island." The tour guide said that after it was built, planes flying to Sanya Airport had to circle around the Guanyin of the Sea before landing, which shows its importance in the hearts of the people of Hainan. When people come here, besides checking in, the most important thing is of course to pray and make wishes, hoping that their wishes will come true and everything will go smoothly.

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

📌 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.

Personal Opinion • Attraction Selection: Sanya has a wealth of attractions, each with its own unique charm. For those who love natural scenery, Wuzhizhou Island and Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park are excellent choices; while those interested in culture can go to Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone. If time permits, you can add some niche attractions, such as Houhai Village, to experience the life of local fishermen. • Itinerary Arrangement: It is recommended to arrange your itinerary reasonably according to your preferences and physical strength to avoid being too rushed. For example, you can arrange a half-day or full-day in-depth tour of some attractions instead of just scratching the surface. • Accommodation Selection: Sanya has a variety of accommodation options, from budget-friendly homestays to luxury hotels. It is recommended to book in advance, especially during the peak tourist season. If you have a limited budget, you can choose to stay in a homestay in the city, which is more convenient for travel. • Food Experience: Sanya has a wealth of food, and seafood is a must-try, but be sure to choose a reputable restaurant. In addition, local snacks such as Zaopo vinegar hot pot and Baoluo noodles are also worth trying. • Precautions: Pay attention to sun protection and safety when traveling, especially at the beach and when engaging in water activities. In addition, when buying souvenirs or local products, choose reputable merchants.

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! 🏠

Many visitors only know to go hug the Buddha's feet, but end up missing so many free experiences—what a shame!

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Sanya, Hainan, China is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation. There are many scenic spots in Sanya. This time I will introduce a very famous local attraction: Nanshan Sea Goddess of Mercy. Nanshan Temple is located in Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone, Yazhou District, Sanya City, Hainan Province. It is a Buddhist holy place integrating Buddhist culture, architectural art, etc. The statue of Guanyin at sea is its iconic landscape. The Guanyin statue is 108 meters high and is an integrated triptych. One side holds a lotus, one side holds a Buddhist scripture, and one side holds Buddhist beads. She has a solemn appearance and stands on a lotus throne with 108 petals. . Opening hours 08:00-17:00

Soul Landmark: In-depth Guide to Nanshan Sea Guanyin Stunning pilgrimage route Enter Nanshan Cultural Tourism Area at 7:30 in the morning before the group tourists arrive. It is recommended to purchase an electric car package (128 yuan including ticket). Take the battery car from Budu Famen directly to Guanyin Square. At this time, the morning light penetrates the 108-meter-tall white-robed Guanyin, and the sea surface is shining like broken diamonds. Special Experiences Circumambulate the Buddha three times: Circumambulate the base of the Guanyin statue three times clockwise (about 40 minutes), with each circle corresponding to the wishes of "peace", "wisdom" and "compassion". Pay attention to the 108 incarnations of Guanyin carved on the base. Cram for the Buddha's feet: You need to climb 7 spiral stairs to reach the lotus throne (there are often queues for the elevator). It is recommended to prepare a sun hat. The sea-viewing platform at the Buddha's feet offers a 270-degree view of the South China Sea. Photography Confidential Wide-angle camera position: 300-meter rocky beach directly south of the Guanyin statue (revealed at low tide) Aerial photography application: Aerial photography application must be filed on the "Sanya Drone Management" public account 2 days in advance within the scenic area 2.

Don’t miss out on the hidden attractions: Photograph of "Nanshan Guanyin + Sun and Moon Stone" on the second floor terrace of Tianya Bookstore Take a glass boat (98 yuan/person) to see the reefs engraved with the "Heart Sutra" up close 2. Zen Overnight The "Nanshan Guest House" in the Nanshan Scenic Area offers a meditation package (600+ per person, including morning class experience). At 5:30 in the morning, follow the monks to the Thirty-three Guanyin Hall to do the sea sunrise morning class, and enjoy the Guanyin holy land two hours earlier than regular tourists. 3.

🚉Transportation strategy: 1. For parking, navigate to Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone. There are multiple parking lots, but it is difficult to park nearby. [TaxiFront] From the nearest to the scenic spot, there are P3, P2 and No. 1 parking lots, and there are 7 temporary parking lots nearby. [Bicycle][Bicycle] It takes a long walk from the parking lot to the scenic area (about 15 minutes). There are local private motorcycles in the parking lot to pick up passengers, 20 per person, and they are responsible for taking you to the entrance of the scenic area. [Tramcar] It is also very convenient to take a bus or taxi. 🚉Transportation strategy: 2. From the ticket check at the entrance of the scenic area, it is still a long way to the Guanyin on the Sea, about a 20-minute walk. However, the scenery of the scenic area is very beautiful. Looking at Guanyin from afar and slowly approaching her is a kind of pious pilgrimage. 🧳Preparation before the trip: 3. You need to purchase tickets online 2 hours in advance. There are many QR codes on the roadside inside the scenic area, and you can also scan the code to purchase tickets on the spot. 👍Most Recommended: 4. There are free incense offerings inside the scenic area. Just take one when you pass by and queue up to burn incense and pray. When I came to [TempleOfHeaven], there were also incense sticks for sale on the roadside, and they were not expensive. You can buy some incense and bring it in to burn, but for most people, it’s not easy to come here once. 👍Most Recommended: 5. Go down from both sides of Guanyin Square and you can walk to the feet of Guanyin on the Sea. ✅Must experience: 6. Line up in a circle around the feet of Guanyin for about 2 hours (circling Guanyin is also a form of spiritual practice), then you can climb to the 7th floor, hold the Buddha's feet, and touch the feet of Guanyin with your own hands. This is the closest time for your heart to the Buddha's light [Scenic] In the lobby on the first floor, there are the Guanyin Hall and the Yuantong Hall. You can worship after you hold the Buddha's feet. A 50-jin large seal that has been blessed will be printed for free. [Scenic] There is the Goddess of Childbirth on the second floor and the Twelve Zodiac Bodhisattvas on the third floor. You can worship on each floor. 👍Most Recommended: 7. Another way to play is to take a cruise ship or speedboat to the sea, worship Guanyin 360 degrees, pick up a flower and smile, and realize the body of dust and color. 🌟Highlights: 8. The Nanshan Scenic Area is very large. In addition to the Guanyin of the Sea, there are also the Sanya Nanshan Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum and the Intangible Cultural Heritage Center (Buddhist culture, intangible cultural heritage display), the Thirty-three Guanyin Hall (Guanyin statue, Jingxin Sutra Copying, large lawn and coconut trees), the Long Wuye God of Wealth Temple and the God of Wealth Temple (worship the God of Wealth), Nanshan Temple (the largest Buddhist temple, the largest Golden and Jade Guanyin, and Buddhist cards), the Longevity Valley (tropical rainforest forest park, Nanshan immortal pines), and the Nanshan Villa (for fortune-telling). [Tricycle] The scenic area has a sightseeing bus for 30 yuan. You can get on and off the bus at the above attractions. The bus ends at 18:30. If you miss the last bus, you have to walk out. 📝Note tips: 9. If there are free activities such as stamping, copying scriptures, Buddhist cards, and fortune-telling, you can participate. If there are free activities, you can consider the fees yourself. 🖼Restaurant environment: 10. There are vegetarian dishes available in Nanshan Temple. The dishes are very good and there are many people. 🏨Hotel environment: 11. Nanshan Guest House Hotel is located inside the scenic area. If you stay here, you will get free tickets and VIP access.

Nanshan Temple Sea Goddess of Mercy Interior The Nanshan Temple Sea Goddess of Mercy Statue is a large statue approximately 108 meters tall, built over the beach. The interior is open to the public, allowing visitors to enter and explore. After taking an elevator to a certain height, visitors can tour the various floors inside. The interior is quiet and solemn, with Buddhist scriptures, murals, and sculptures neatly arranged, offering plenty to see. There is also a place where the statue is enshrined, and a small altar where Buddhists can pray. The softly lit space is overall clean and well-maintained, with impressive decorations and intricate sculptures on each floor. There are few windows, and the external view is limited, but the structure and symbolism of the interior itself are the focus. The entire route is not long, making it easy to tour without feeling overwhelmed. It is an interesting space not only for religious purposes but also for visitors interested in architecture.

Nanshan is famous for its statue of the bodhisattva Guanyin. Many people just take pictures at skipping the line to enter the statue. My recommendation is to enter Guanyin for several reasons: here you will see stunning views from the above and most importantly you can see the beauty of the temple inside. Moving in the line may seem long and uncomfortable but actually the line moves rather fast plus there are umbrellas covering from the sun during the whole waiting line that mules it more comfortable than we even expected. #springwander
