Sanya Daxiaodongtian Scenic Area

The Dadongtian Scenic Area is located at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, west of Sanya City, facing the vast South China Sea. It is the oldest scenic spot on Hainan Island. The scenic area was founded in the Southern Song Dynasty and has a history of over 800 years, earning it the reputation of "the first scenic spot of Qiongya for eight hundred years." It not only boasts unique and beautiful sea views and picturesque mountain forest scenery but is also deeply imbued with traditional Chinese Taoist culture and dragon culture, making it a national 5A-level tourist attraction that combines stunning natural beauty with profound cultural history.

The landscapes within the scenic area are renowned for their unique "four wonders": sea views, mountain views, rock formations, and caves. Strolling along the long coastline, you can admire the miraculously crafted reef wonders and the magnificent sight of crashing waves. Here, you'll find not only famous cliff carvings like "Xiaodongtian" and the precious plant "Yazhou Dragon Blood Tree," known as the "Nanshan Immortal Pine," which are iconic natural and historical relics, but also humanistic buildings full of mythical colors, such as the South China Sea Dragon King's Villa. Between the mountains and the sea, strange rocks stand tall, and ancient trees reach for the sky, resembling a natural coastal landscape painting.

Today, Dadongtian is not only a cultural sanctuary for exploring ancient relics and experiencing the Taoist concept of "unity of heaven and man" but also a beloved leisure and photography paradise for tourists. Thanks to its beautiful and romantic coastal scenery, it has become a very popular wedding photography base in Sanya, with numerous trendy photo spots distributed along the coast, such as the Gate of Heaven and the seaside lighthouse. Whether you are leisurely strolling among the coconut trees with your family or capturing romantic moments with your partner against the backdrop of the sea and sky, Dadongtian can offer you a delightful and enchanting scenic journey for both body and mind.
