If you are interested to Chinese Buddhism culture, try to go here. they have a lot of statues, pagodas and interesting Buddhist relics all around the place. the place is quite big, and it's quite hot to walk it during the summer-autumn time. a tour car is provided by the place, which will cost you 30 yuan per day (Don't...

This is a must to see. Amazing. But just the Buddah. Last stop of the turist trolley. A little bit expensive, 150RMB por person plus 30 for the trolley. More

I was not impressed with this attraction at all. Everything seemed to be very kitsch. The entrance fee is high. If you have a month to spend in Sanya, then you can spend a day there. If your trip is short, don't waste your time. More

I stayed in NanShan hotel inside the Area duiring four days in the beginning of January The hotel consists of a lot of small buildings scattered around the huge garden, so rooms are quiet and comfortable. Next day in the early morning after arrival we seized a chance to climb to the Guang Ying feet which is rather high above... More

I concur with what spelunkerbob has written. Its a total tourist trap and a waste of time. Don't bother going unless you want to spend 150 RMB each just to get in. At the time they were building a new pagoda...I'm sure for the future tourists. If you do decide to go and know a chinese person you can get... More

please don't waste your time here. this is a man-made tourist trap. there is nothing cultural about it - it was built only to profit from tourist traffic. i have been to one of these before - same price of admission (expensive!), same name, same giant buddha statues, same temples...some good mountain air, but overall a waste of a day...

This place is huge! You probably need to spend at least 3 hours to complete the tour. As there is just too much walking to be done, it is highly recommended that you buy a ticket (RMB20) for the electric tram ride which will take you to the major spots in the park. The tram makes a single loop around... More

If you're on a plane during the day, you might see this figure of Guan Yin, cos it's as huge as the Statue of Liberty. The Nanshan Cultural Tourist Area costs 150rmb for entrance. There are many temples throughout this park with well manicured lawns and nice scenic spots. The first temple to the right of the entrance is the... More
