Beautiful! Worth going! We stayed in Yalong Bay and instead of taking a cab we spent 17 rmb each for a train ride from Yalongwan trian station to Yazhou Train Station. From there we took a 25 minute cab ride to the Temple. Much better than a 2-3 hour cab ride!

One of the popular attraction.
Mar 2019 • Couples
From City to Nanshan by taxi is about rmb130.
The place is huge,it's better to buy entry tickets with tram.
The trams will make about 6-7 stops which you can board n alight at different stations and temples.
There are smoking corners, restaurants and toilets inside the attractions.

Sanya's Niagara Falls

It's a Big Budha. Noblesse oblige.
That's it in a nutshell unless you want to know about tourist traps.

Great Sculpture!
Nov 2018 • Couples
Located 30 min car ride from Sanya, this holly place was packed with local tourists. Audio and in person guide options are available. We enjoyed listening to the audio guide during our visit. Tramp service is also available. The statute is situated at the seaside and several other temples are located at the park that can be visited. Lots of food options, fruit stands and souvenir shops are in the park. It took us more than two hours to visit the park. Highly recommended.

Top AAAAA tourist spot in Hainan
Oct 2018 • Friends
One of the “AAAAA” tourist spot in Sanya. This place was hot and a lot of people. I highly recommend coming early. Remember no pictures once you get into the temple. They will watch you like a hawk. There is quite a walk to get to most of the destinations. Remember this place is vegetarian only so remember to eat something if you absolutely want some meat.

My oh my how expensinve! Beautiful, but expensive!
Feb 2018
Your visit to Sanya wouldn't be complete without a visit to Nanshan Temple. Making your way there will require a good 2 hours as it is located roughly 40 km away from the city centre. I would suggest taking a bus (I took bus no.25) instead of a taxi. There are other buses going to Nanshan cultural tourist area. If you want a VPN hassle-free life, you can check for various bus numbers using the local navigation app 'Baidu Maps' as opposed to Google Maps (incl. Apple maps), as Baidu is more accurate.

The beach view was lovely with a cool breeze and it wasn't even cold, which worked to my advantage as I was there in February (winter everywhere else in mainland China) mind you!
Guan Yin statue is truly beautiful. Other than the 3 sided statue, one can visit the surrounding sites such as the ''God of Fortune temple'' and other small temples. We paid for the shuttle bus to explore the area but, the rest was ridiculously expensive! Just take pictures outside the temples and smile your cheeks off! At least you get to say you left your footsteps there :-D

Large temple complex
Sep 2018 • Solo
This temple is located within a larger complex of temples that you can only enter by paying a very steep fee of 121 CNY during off season or 145 CNY in peak. There's quite a lot of walking involved if you want to see all the sites, so it's worth wearing comfortable shoes. The temples themselves aren't really that special, but the grounds are pretty and you're away from traffic. Public buses are available to get back to Sanya at relatively low cost. Most people, however, seem to visit on organised trips in tour buses.

Very Impressive
Jul 2018 • Friends
A very impressive temple area that even for a western person this is well worth the visit. They promote a total of five temples in the area but if you are short of time I would just limit yourself to the Nanshan temple. You probably need to allow 2-3 hours to cover this properly.

Amazing place
Jul 2018
Really beautiful place. However, if you came in the summertime, take an umbrella, or prepare that will be super hot. From the parking to Buddha statue is the quite long distance and almost no shadow, but finally, it is worth. This place is very beautiful. Don't hesitate to get inside the temple, because it has really special and magic atmosphere.
