Reviews from Real Guests:

Asia Traveller: Had an incredible time on the island. The white beaches are absolutely stunning, and the island has an abundance of water sports. The swimming beach is very small but you can rent day beds, lockers and tubes. Great variety of things to do on the island including helicopter rides, and under the sea walk. Take lots of sunscreen as it greats incredibly hot on the island. Had a great experience with a fun and vibrant performance by some expats living in Sanya! Great end to a fun-filled day on Wuzhizhou Island.

siganteng: Explore pristine coral reefs underneath emerald-green waters and enjoy fine beaches at Wuzhizhou Coral Island, a 1.48 sq km (0.6 sq mi) islet just off the main Hainan Island. With its own source of freshwater, over 2,700 plant varieties grow here, including some of the oldest species in the world.

Reviews from Real Guests:

BeachButterfly: This is a beautiful park where you can spend all day if you wanted to. There is so much to do and to see. Hiking opportunities are all over and photography opportunities also. There are many tourist things to do like water rides , the rope bridge, the glass bridge, and so much more. These have extra cost but some are worth it. You can take food and snacks in but you can also buy these things inside the park also. This is definitely a place to go visit while your in Sanya.

SarainChina: the name really deserves the place. it is both hiking and enjoying all that beauty. when you finish the track you have a chance to ride a raft down up to 400 meters which to us felt like longer. it is so much fun. the entrance cost 140 if you want to take the bus but remember you have pay separately if you want to go the glass bridge or the chain bridge. the glass bridge costs 98 but the chain bridge only 20. we did the chain bridge 2 times , the experience is noble :)

Shellhollinger: This is one of my favourite areas in Sanya. it’s beautiful, calm and away from the bustle of the city. there are many amazing options for sunset drinks and insta worthy picks, as well as some great choices for some shopping and some local and international meals. I cannot recommend this area enough! #lovesanya

annitta_traveloka: I was here last summer and this place where you can enjoy the beach view. This tourist spot can be greatly enjoy as a great scene of boulders by the beach. You can ride a taxi and they will drop you off at the gate. There is an entrance fee but so worth it.
