Tour Highlights

Take in Sanya Bay from Luhuitou Viewpoint

Ride the winding road up to Luhuitou and step onto the terrace, where Sanya Bay opens into the widest, most unhurried panorama in the city, its curve of sand, headlands, and glittering towers laid out below.

Hear the Deer-Turning Legend Behind the Park

As you eye the bronze deer caught mid-turn, your guide spins the old tale of the hunter and the magical deer that gave Luhuitou its name, and the headland suddenly feels a little enchanted.

Stand at the Carved Rocks of Tianya Haijiao

Stand on the End of the Earth shore facing the open sea, running your fingers over boulders carved with giant ancient characters while the waves burst against the rocks at your feet.

Explore Sea Cliffs at Nanshan Daxiaodongtian

Stroll Daxiaodongtian's coastal reserve, where rust-colored sea cliffs, glassy tide pools, and weather-worn Taoist shrines sit right at the edge of the South China Sea.

Your private car collects you at your Sanya hotel and starts at Luhuitou Park, a headland viewpoint made famous by the deer-turning legend and the panorama over Sanya Bay. You continue west to Tianya Haijiao, the End of the Earth shore with its carved boulders, then to Nanshan Daxiaodongtian, a coastal reserve of cliffs, tide pools, and old Taoist sites. Your guide balances viewpoints and short walks so you enjoy the scenery at an easy pace, returning to your hotel by late afternoon.

FAQ

Common Questions

What is Luhuitou Park famous for?

Luhuitou is one of Sanya's classic viewpoints, famous for its panorama over Sanya Bay and the legend of a hunter and a magical deer. From the terrace you see the whole curve of the bay and the coast beyond, and your guide tells the deer-turning story as you enjoy the views.

Is this Sanya viewpoints tour good for photographers?

Yes. The day is built around scenery and varied light, from a high panorama at Luhuitou to carved beach rocks at Tianya Haijiao and sea cliffs at Daxiaodongtian. You get several very different frames in one outing, and your guide knows the quieter angles so you can photograph without fighting a crowd.

How much walking does this Sanya scenic day involve?

There are short, easy walks at each stop, mainly the shoreline at Tianya Haijiao and the coastal paths at Daxiaodongtian, with viewpoints reached by steps or a brief climb. The pace stays relaxed because your private car links each site door to door, and your guide balances walking and rests around your energy.

Is Daxiaodongtian the same as Nanshan Temple?

No. Daxiaodongtian is a coastal scenic reserve of sea cliffs, caves, and old Taoist sites on the same stretch of coast as Nanshan, but it is a separate area. This day visits Daxiaodongtian and Tianya Haijiao rather than the Nanshan Buddhist park, so you see cliffs and tide pools instead of temple halls.

Can we do this Luhuitou tour later for sunset?

Tell us in advance and your guide can shift the order so you reach Luhuitou as the light goes, weather permitting, for the classic sunset panorama over Sanya Bay. The standard day runs from morning to late afternoon, but ending at the viewpoint is often possible on this private trip.
