Sacred Seas & Southern Shores – Nanshan & Tianyahaijiao Cultural Discovery

This is not merely a tour, but a carefully curated experience for those seeking meaning beyond the surface.

Through mindful exploration, you’ll connect with sacred landscapes, cultural legends, and the gentle rhythms of island life—a day designed not just to be seen, but to be felt.
Two Faces of Hainan’s Spirit
Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone
Nanshan is a realm where Buddhism, nature, and art harmoniously coexist. Centered around the majestic 108-meter-tall Guanyin Statue overlooking the sea, the vast park blends lush tropical gardens, tranquil temple complexes, and cultural exhibitions. It is a place for reflection, peace, and awe—a spiritual sanctuary that embodies blessings, longevity, and harmony.
Tianyahaijiao
Meaning “the edge of the sky and the corner of the sea,” this iconic coastline is where myth meets magnificent nature. Famous for its poetic rock formations—some inscribed with centuries-old calligraphy—the site symbolizes enduring love and journey’s end. Strolling along its soft sandy beach beside clear turquoise waters, you’ll understand why it has inspired Chinese poets and lovers for generations.
