What travelers are saying
- KodoDrummerBuenos Aires, Argentina64,824 contributionsThis is a very beautiful beach, well maintained with nice soft, clean sand. Water too is clean but chilly in the winter months. Few adventure beyond dipping their feet in the water. Inexpensive in the off season.Written January 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TJ OAustralian Capital Territory, Australia22 contributionsThis was an inspiring and reflective place. The statue itself is magnificent and it was moving to get up close and touch it. Be careful to be aware it is not appropriate to wear a hat in the temples or when you are walking around the base of the Buddha's feet. There are some very commercial parts of the site but they are not forceful. Take the train as the walk to the statue is quite a way.Written August 21, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Downtown83Nanjing, China463 contributionsI did not have high expectations about this tourist spot, but was even more surprised about the beauty of Wuzhizhou Island. Especially the track trough the middle of the island is amazing, beautiful flower garden and little animals running around. Totally worth taking the trip from Sanya to here.Written December 21, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KodoDrummerBuenos Aires, Argentina64,824 contributionsBeautiful beach for enjoyable walks. There was a chilly breeze coming off the water on our December visit. Lots of rock formations.

- Dmitriy SKlin, Russia240 contributionsWe get to the park by mistake, cause the Orchid garden was closed at that day, and taxi driver just took us to the "Sky Grottoes" park.
We were not really enthusiastic about the place at the beginning. We entered the park in the morning at about 10am, but it was already full of people in beatifull costumes - a big crowd of brides, grooms and photographers - then we learned that this park is one of the best places for wedding photosessions!
Fortunately for us newelyweds occupied area close to the beach side, so we could continue our walk further. Nearby the entrance and a big food court there was a museum of Hainan history with remains of ancient trees in the garden, found in the nearest rivers, some of them were of 5000 years old!
You can take a touristic bus to travel between locations, but we decide to walk and then the road led us along the beach to the next park location with food, high stairs to monks temple and lovely stone turtles.
Several signs attracted us to climb the hill by stone stairs, where top of the hill called "Golden Gates" - well, to finish this path up you need to have really "golded" strength and stamina! But the feeling at the top is worth two-hour climbing! You can have a rest in peace and silence - the only sound you can hear is murmur of waves 900 meters below you - this is the height you just reached! Take enough water with you before climbing, otherwise you risk not to finish the route!
On the way down you will be really tired physically, but absolutely rested mentally!
The park provides you a combination of marvelous beachside panoramas and a chance to test your power! I wish I could visit this park again!Written October 6, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s a good experience for adults as well as ample activities for kids, 2 pool areas with slides for kids. Evening time music,dance and watching water park in evening is quite an experience. Food is also at affordable prices. Loved it.Written January 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Victor HShanghai, China323 contributionsThe South (China) Sea Guanyin is a masterpiece and must see and visit in this huge park. Walking around this park is a bit physical especially in Summer. For the ones who have health issues they can rent golf cart just after the entrance. More economical way is to take the little trains that stops frequently at different stations for attractions. The sea view from different points in the park is relaxing to breathtaking. This is a must visit park for tourists visiting Sanya.Written July 7, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AtanasAGuangzhou, China12 contributionsWe stay for around 4 hours in February 2019. The small jacussy don't have bubbles. but water is very hot. It is small park with trees, air is very good. The place have 5-6 bigger swimming pools 1 small lake and maybe more than 70 small like jacussy pools. Another good thing is marble beds for relax which are very hot and pool with small fishes which peel your skin, very refreshingWritten January 30, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kevin mKunming, China98 contributionsA very nice Sandy beach with clear and clean water.
It is a public one so be ready to be bothered by many outsiders.
Very far from any attraction or even resturants or cafes.

There are frequent shuttle busses to bring you to different parts of the park so that was amazingly easy. The trails aren't too hard either for the elderly folks. There are fun activities for the bigger kids such as zip lining (there were 3 different zip lines) but the most fun for those under 70 years old was the giant 3km slide at the top of the mountain. It was a water slide on a glass path heading down the mountain -- super thrill ! It was like being in a water park -- fast and exciting and so much fun.
Take note that the park is quite strict about ages so they don’t allow people under 10 and above 70 to take the rides or even walk on the suspension bridge or the glass bridge. Which is a pity cause the glass bridge is the main highlight of the park. But there are other trails for the elderly too. The cinema experience was quite a treat as well – it’s a 4G type cinema experience and the show was about the whole park and seeing all the different areas of it – it was very well done and I would recommend watching it.
Our taxi driver offered to help us buy tickets which was helpful so they could help translate the ticket packages and they get a commission from the park – we still pay the same rate so I would recommend everyone let their taxi drivers help them buy the tickets. This seems to be the case to any attraction in Haikou – the taxi drivers get a commission if they help you buy the tickets so why not help them out.
We had an excellent taxi driver lady whom we used for all our 4 days in Sanya – ping me and I can share her contact! We communicated via wechat and wechat had a seamless translation software so it’ll be easy for non mandarin speakers too.Written September 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The pre-show documentaries show have subtitles and there is an English description before each of the 4 acts so you know the theme. Well choreographed, acted and costumed. Not a fan of the zoo part but otherwise a good day out.Written August 21, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Samantha12 contributionsI walked the whole way up to the park but you can bus or taxi there.
Once inside the park you can pay to have a tourist bus take you up or walk up - about 6km. I walked and was glad I did (despite the heat!) There is an adorable little peacock garden; while I think there were too many peacocks in their section the rabbit section was adorable! Since I was the first person to arrive I even got to feed the rabbits their afternoon treat. There are also some deer in a very sparse and small enclosure; though they look very healthy. Plus lots of vantage points to stop and admire along the way.
I headed late afternoon so I could get the views during the day and night. The story of the name and the statute are found at the base of the statue in English.
*Lots* of cafes etc to stop for drinks and snacks and enjoy the view.
You can slide down or bus when you are finished. Worth the visit!Written April 26, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The bay is typical of an ocean, but the beach area was not very big. It was crowded because there is not a deep shore line. It is long, but not deep so keep this in mind. I would rather go to Yalong bay or Sanya Bay if I want to go swimming and go walk along the beach. The sights are still beautiful and it is a beach still.Written January 27, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stephan B10 contributionsWhen you are in northern China in the middle of winter or the rain it is memories of this beautiful place that get you through those times. I cannot recommend this place enough.Written August 2, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- PaulinePort Coquitlam, Canada2,759 contributionsCar park was labelled in alphabets. We remembered our alphabet but we couldn't remember how to get to our car park as there was no car park map!
There are many different type of tickets that you can purchase at the counter. Must read carefully or ask the person who's selling the tickets. If you are a local from Hainan Island with the ID card from the island, then you're eligible to pay the "child" ticket price. We wanted to have a ticket including lunch which was the bamboo rice lunch, but I thought it was the buffet lunch so I bought this ticket and then realized that it was the wrong type of ticket. Just purchasing tickets were very confusing.....
There were also many restaurants that offer the different type of tickets purchased for lunch! We were very confused!
We finally found our restaurant and it was big, but the buffet was not quite. The food was more vegetarian dishes and people rushed to get as much as they could. That's when I really regretted I got the wrong tickets! After you finish eating, you must clear your table, putting the tray back and recycle your waste or throw as regular trash, etc. which I think was a great idea!
You cannot choose your seats for the show as they are pre-marked. Once you enter the show area, and find that you don't like where your seats are, you can upgrade by paying an extra RMB45 to upgrade to the VIP section which is right in front of the stage. We had seats that were not too far back but had a pillar which sort of blocked our view. I sat by the aisle so I could take pictures. Show was interesting.
The whole village was very informative. There were some women showing how they weave.
There was a part of the museum where you cannot take photos.
The gift shop was worth looking around. Things were quite expensive.
We enjoyed it as a whole.Written December 30, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
