Street stalls of knick knacks interesting for 1st timers. Rip off caricature artist charge 100rmb but drawing didn't resemble me at all.
Show was an 1hr and initially impressive with many many short components over 3 stories related to sanya. Short acrobatics, gymnastics, dance, fire, rain, mermaids flying over ur head, lights, water sprays.. it tries to incorporate alot into an hr to impress but each was too brief and not spectacular enough. Breadth for depth. The project is new, 2013, thus their stage could do all these special effects. But overall weak stories vaguely linked together. Air-conditioning not cool enough. Noisy talking crowded audience. Gd try but Still a long way to go to copy western Performances, especially the atmosphere.

Nanshan Temple

Reviewed By chanyu1 - california

Could not understand why this attraction is not rated number 1 for attractions in Sanya because the world's largest outdoor "Goddess of Mercy" stature is located here. There's also a Buddhist temple overlooking the ocean where one could get a different perspective of the statue. But the statue is the main attraction which draws every tourist visiting Sanya. We visited this attraction on a weekday and had to wait almost an hour just to get to the parking lot. The driver said he drove a group here during Chinese New Year holiday and it took 5 hours! To See the whole park requires about 2-1/2 hour walking or you could spend another 30 rmb to get a hop-on hop-off shuttle But must deal with long lines. You could also go directly to the statue and take an elevator to the top. Once again, long, long lines. But if you can get over the large crowds, make this trip and see this majestic attraction.

We saw rain in forecast and thought lets go here we are going to be wet the pools are hot. So we planned it we took the free shuttle be prepared for pushing and shoving to get on the bus. Civilization breaks down here. The fish tank we went to first we went in whole body it was awesome . We got out after 30 minutes visited the other pools and came back at the end for another 45 minutes. What a treat.

Yalong Bay

Reviewed By Michele A - Vicenza, Italy

The place itself is pretty nice, even if below the stndards of most Mediterranean Beaches. Hype apart, if yuo aren't Chinese you porbably wouldn't enjoy the place much. Nobody at the beach speaks any other language than Mandarine or local dialects (while in the city itself it is easy to find people speaking Russian, for instance), so the most interesting activities will be a challenge to understand, if they let you in. Swimming is barely possible, first because there's a very small stripe of sea you can use for that, while the rest is just for motorboats, and this ludicrously small space is overcrowded with people who probably are more afraid of the water than of the boats themselves. If you even try some apnea a ward will come to call you off.
Frankly, Hainan was great, but not because of Yalong Bay.

Luhuitou Park

Reviewed By KarenTraveling - Beijing, China

The entrance isn't too expensive, and the stretch golf cart is an optional addition. However, it's hot and humid, so it's not a bad choice. Bring lots of water, and your own toilet paper. The premise of the park (the story of the girl who was once a deer) is sort of pointless, but the views of the bays are excellent.

As with many spots in Hainan this one is a scenic costal spot where Chinese come to walk and picnic. It wasn't too crowded and the water had lots of rocky outcroppings you could walk around on. Don't go out of your way to come here as they don't allow swimming.

Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park

Reviewed By AGE11 - Hong Kong, China

I stayed in the Bird's Nest Resort which was a great place to explore the park. It's very beautiful with great views down to Yalong Bay. Highlight was the suspension bridge and The Strop (zipline ride) which was great fun. It's all free for hotel guests, other than The Strop which is RMB100 and well worth it. Non-hotel guests pay for park entry and some other things I think.
There are some nice walks within the park but there are a lot of steep steps, so a certain level of mobility is required. Transport within the park is good - there are many buses.
It's definitely worth going and you could cover most of it in half a day.
I was lucky and it was very quiet so we had the mountain pretty much to ourselves. The hotel advised us to go out a bit later which we did, after the crowds had left.

Its a good sized mall for a small area with several decent restaurants and several small independent shops. There are lots of very cute rides that will delight kids under 8 years old. We enjoyed the ambiance and the unpretentious nature of the place.
