If you tire of the lulling waves and gentle sand of the local beaches, you can pick up a Sanya sightseeing map and take a scenic walk around the area. First, check out End of the World Park, where huge boulders up to 10 meters high, sometimes almost completely submerged in water, lie on the shore of the clear sea.
One of Sanya's main attractions is the Sanya Nanshan Temple, built in 1998, featuring its famous Guanyin statue. It's accessible by city bus in about an hour, and there's an admission fee of CHY 150 to see it. Apart from this temple, tourists often capture beautiful photos of Sanya's attractions during excursions to the shell museum, located near the city.
No Sanya sightseeing map is complete without mentioning Nanwan Monkey Island. It's actually a peninsula that is home to two thousand macaques of various varieties that are slowly disappearing from the face of the earth.
Fans of ethnic nuances will find a map of Sanya attractions with names at Betel Ethnic Minority Park, located 30 km from the city. Here, tourists can experience the way of life, savor Miao and Li national cuisine, explore ethnic souvenirs, and enjoy folklore shows. The entrance fee is CHY150.
For those who prefer romantic walks, Sanya's sightseeing descriptions will pique your interest in Yanoda Tourist Area. It's a sparsely populated landscape park adorned with a variety of tropical trees, preserving the tranquility of lotus-lined lakes.
