By Teacher Dai who loves to toss |

The scenery of Luhuitou definitely exceeded my expectations. At first, I thought it was just an ordinary hill in the city, and because the ticket price was cheap (other scenic spots in Sanya were ridiculously expensive), I had to wonder if the facilities and scenery were greatly discounted. As a result, since my first visit! I was really shocked by the beautiful scenery and air there. The scenery of riding a small battery car around the mountain was even more beautiful~

You can see the seaside scenery of Phoenix Island and Sanya city. The view from the mountain is unobstructed. Below is the introduction of this beautiful love legend~ The whole mountain is actually quite small, just suitable for taking pictures and relaxing. I went there three times in total, and I always saw foreigners, haha.

Ding ding ding! The sunset is here! It's so beautiful! The whole atmosphere is very quiet, and everyone is quiet and taking pictures with their devices. PS: The sunset is quite fast, so if you want to record videos, take photos and pose, you have to speed up.

We went there at around 5pm, which was just the right time to see the sunset. The night view of Sanya is very beautiful. There is a statue of Lu Huitou at the top of the mountain. The day we went there was Valentine's Day, which was very appropriate. We met several little monkeys along the way, and they were not afraid of people at all. We still had to take the battery car to the middle of the mountain, and then we had to walk the rest of the way. There was no queue for the battery car when we went up the mountain, and we left when it was full. There were more people when we went down the mountain, and we queued for more than ten minutes.

Here is another weird way-finding trip. We had agreed that the first thing we would do when we arrived in Sanya was to go to Luhuitou, because you can see most of Sanya from there. Then we took a bus from the hotel to Luhuitou. When we got off at the station, we found that we had to walk a distance. I was wearing slippers at the time... slippers. So I asked my friends whether we should walk or take a tricycle. Finally, we decided to walk. I have forgotten how long we walked... I felt my feet were burning... I couldn't walk anymore. Before we knew it, a tricycle came in a flash. We asked the tricycle driver how much it would cost to go to Luhuitou Park. The driver said he would buy tickets for us. We locals can collect stamps or something... I can't remember. I thought it was no problem, so I got on the bus without saying anything. Here comes the key point. I felt like we walked for at least 20 minutes before we got on the uncle’s tricycle. It took less than a minute to turn a corner at most and we arrived at the door after walking 100 meters… My friend and I actually spent 5 dollars in vain… When the uncle told us that we had arrived, my friend and I were instantly petrified [tears][tears][tears][tears]

Let's talk about the park. It's actually very quiet and there are few people. It's suitable for taking photos. You must go to the statue of the deer turning back, which is very handsome. Another advantage here is that you can overlook most of Sanya.

The sightseeing bus ride takes more than ten minutes. You can choose to buy a separate scenic spot ticket and walk up the mountain instead of taking the bus. However, the attractions are all on the mountain, and the process of hiking up the mountain will be rather boring. Therefore, it is more appropriate to take the sightseeing bus to the mountain and save your energy for sightseeing on the top of the mountain.

Getting off the bus is just the beginning. Walk up slowly and the scenery along the way will be the real Luhuitou Scenic Area.



Luhuitou Park has five large and small peaks. The park is surrounded by the sea on three sides and adjacent to Sanya city on one side. It is a commanding point for climbing up to see the sea and watching the sunrise and sunset, and it is also the only good place to overlook the panoramic view of Sanya city.

The mountain is surrounded by the sea on three sides and looks like an Eld's deer. Climbing to the top of Luhuitou Mountain, you can have a panoramic view of Sanya City.

So every few steps, there will be a viewing point, where you can overlook Sanya Bay and have a great view.

There are many people in the scenic area, and there are many benches and pavilions for tourists to rest.

As you walk and stop, you can occasionally see little monkeys playing and chasing each other. The naughty little monkeys will poke the coconuts on the trees down. When you hear the "dong~dong~" sound, you know they must be playing tricks.

Continue walking and you will find the place where tourists gather the most, which is the iconic statue of Lu Huitou!



There is a beautiful love legend of the Hainan Li people at Luhuitou: In ancient times, a handsome young Li hunter, with a red scarf on his head and a bow and arrow in hand, climbed over ninety-nine mountains from Wuzhi Mountain, waded through ninety-nine rivers, and chased a stag to the coast of the South China Sea. Under the cliff in front was the vast sea with no way to go. The stag suddenly stopped and looked back at the cliff. The deer's eyes were clear and beautiful, sad and moving. The young hunter's hand, which was about to draw the bow and arrow, fell woodenly. Suddenly, a flash of fire and smoke rose into the sky. The stag turned around and turned into a beautiful Li girl. The two fell in love, got married and settled down. Therefore, this mountain was called "Luhuitou".

The tallest sculpture on Hainan Island, "Lu Huitou", built based on this beautiful love legend, has become the city sculpture of Sanya, and the city of Sanya is therefore named "Lu City".

Going forward, we found a red blessing ribbon, where the Yuexia Lao Ren was. Many couples come here to pray for blessings, and the yearning for beautiful love is something that everyone must expect to have.

The entire scenic area is surrounded by greenery and is an excellent natural oxygen bar where you can sit for most of the day, enjoying the warm breeze.

We did not stay here until night, as the night view is said to be very beautiful. When we left it was already evening, and the entire mountain was lit up with small colored lights, which was very spectacular. It was not yet completely dark, otherwise it would have been even more spectacular and beautiful.

Transportation: If you leave the park late at night, it will be difficult to get a taxi. There are many illegal taxis at the entrance of the park. It is recommended to book a taxi online in advance for the return trip. There are basically no attractions on the way up the mountain in the scenic area. Young people with good physical strength can choose to walk, and those with the elderly and children must choose electric vehicles. Electric vehicles can be purchased directly online. It is very convenient to use, not expensive, and very cost-effective. (How to use: Receive a text message from [Xinzhilv], click on the link to generate a QR code, scan the QR code to enter the park, no need to exchange tickets, and the same battery car can be used by scanning the code.)



Viewing time: It is recommended to arrive at the scenic spot around 5:30 in the evening, so you can walk around and take some photos. Then wait for the sunset to see the night view of Sanya on the viewing platform, which is very beautiful.



I personally think this scenic spot is worth visiting. First of all, the scenery is really beautiful. Secondly, there are many green plants and it is at a high place, so the air is very good. It will be very comfortable to watch the night view on the viewing platform. Luhuitou is a love legend, so the landscape of the entire scenic spot is mainly about love, which is very suitable for couples to take pictures.

This attraction is not very big, so it is not recommended to join a group tour. It is enough to come and see it by yourself in the evening.

There is a beautiful love legend of the Li ethnic group in Hainan called Luhuitou: In ancient times, a handsome young Li hunter, with a red scarf on his head and a bow and arrow in his hand, climbed over ninety-nine mountains from Wuzhi Mountain, waded through ninety-nine rivers, and chased a stag to the coast of the South China Sea. There was a vast sea with no way to go under the cliff in front of him. The stag suddenly stopped and looked back at the cliff. The deer's eyes were clear and beautiful, sad and moving. The young hunter's hand, which was about to draw the bow and arrow, fell down woodenly. Suddenly, a flash of fire and smoke rose into the sky. The stag turned around and turned into a beautiful Li girl. The two fell in love, got married and settled down. Therefore, this mountain was called "Luhuitou". The "Luhuitou", the tallest sculpture in Hainan Island, built according to this beautiful love legend, has become the city sculpture of Sanya, and Sanya City is also named "Lucheng" because of this.

Today is the 74th birthday of our motherland, and it is also the last day of our trip in Sanya. After checking out and storing our luggage, we visited the Luhuitou Scenic Area today. There were people handing out small national flags at the entrance of the scenic area, which felt like a festival. My mother and I took an electric car to the viewing platform and then walked up the mountain. The scenery along the way was so beautiful that it seemed like a painting, so beautiful that it was unreal. I felt that the photos were taken with a large curtain as the background, but the real beauty of Sanya served as such a natural curtain.

Going along the mountain road, you will see the world-famous Luhuitou Sculpture built on the top of the mountain. The story of the sculpture's origin is also marked on it. This is how Sanya got its reputation as the "City of Deer".

By Metasequoia |

Luhuitou Scenic Area, located in Sanya City, Hainan Province, is a theme attraction that emphasizes Li culture, love culture and ecological culture.

Compared to Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay, Sanya Bay seems to be completely ignored by holidaymakers. However, the scenery of Luhuitou in Sanya Bay is still very good, and there is a chance to enjoy a quieter private beach. The beach of Luhuitou State Guesthouse faces west, which is a good place to enjoy the sunset.

By Scholar's spirit |

The highest point of the park is the artistic and charming Luhuitou sculpture, which is the city sculpture of Sanya. It is said that there are three love legends of ethnic minorities in China, one is Ashima, one is Liu Sanjie, and the other is Luhuitou. The story of Luhuitou is profound, it expresses the desire and nostalgia for life, and expresses the passionate pursuit of beautiful love.

By Bobo |

Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can not only see the beautiful sea, but also overlook Sanya city. It is a great view of Sanya from a high altitude. Book tickets on China-TravelNote (32 yuan/ticket, 10 yuan/ticket discount), and scan the code directly at the ticket gate. Admission time: 08:00-20:50

By Rest, little thief |

An old scenic spot, a commanding point in Sanya. If you take a rest and climb the mountain, you can see Dadonghai and Sanya city in two directions respectively. This is where Sanya's tourism industry is developed and the city looks more trendy. The dozens of kilometers of beaches in Sanya Bay provide a good development axis for the city, and the sea water is beautiful. Although Yalong Bay may be the best, it cannot be seen here.

By King of Amy |

In terms of beaches and seawater, this place is far inferior to the three famous bays in Sanya, but Luhuitou is famous for its homestays and mountain views. Living in the homestays here, you can truly experience the fisherman's style, open the window to see the sea, go out to step on the sand, and those who like playing in the sand and catching sea will like it very much.

By Gracie |

Sunshine, sand, and green trees, same beach, different mood.

By vv_Jenny |

Not bad, worth checking in, especially for first-time tourists

By Teng ye teng ye |

Free attractions, you can see the city of Sanya, the night view is particularly beautiful, the sea breeze blows on the mountain, and drinking coffee is great

By Xiaoqiang |

Just like a small park, the service attitude in Sanya is generally poor

By A tree in the sun |

A morning is enough to visit here, and there are not many visitors. It is like a small park for leisure and relaxation.

By 🌴劍啸長虹👣 |

Luhuitou Park is located 3 kilometers south of Sanya City. It is the southernmost hill on Hainan Island. Climbing up Luhuitou Park, you can have a panoramic view of Sanya.

By Go your own way |

Luhuitou Scenic Area, also known as Luhuitou Mountaintop Park, is located 3 kilometers south of Sanya City. It is the southernmost mountain on Hainan Island. The mountain is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has beautiful scenery. Climbing to the top of the mountain at an altitude of 275 meters, you can see the scenery of Sanya city and the coast. It is also the commanding height for watching sunrise and sunset.

By MIKA |

The night view is great. The best place to watch the sunset is Sanya Bay, Dadonghai and Phoenix Island. The mountain is not very big and you can climb it in 30 minutes.

By ∴Pepsi√Cola |

Luhuitou at night is very charming! You must go there at night to see the most beautiful panoramic view of Sanya

By Bad Review Queen |

Hahahahahaha. On the first day in Sanya, we went non-stop, and the first attraction was (Luhuitou). A friend's comment was "Why do we feel like an elderly group?" 😂😂😂The main purpose is to climb high and see the panoramic view of Sanya, which I personally like. Here are some photos for you.

By Zhao Xiaobing |

After we went to Yalong Bay, we still had some time, so we went to Luhuitou at around 5pm. We were very hungry. We had a plate of Hainan noodles, but I didn't think it tasted very good, probably because I was not used to it. Luhuitou is very small, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk to the top of the mountain. The scenery during the day would be just so-so, but at night, you can overlook the 270° night view of Sanya, which is very beautiful. You can also see Phoenix Island. Xiaobao and I are still thinking that if only one of the buildings is mine, it would be perfect~~Haha, there is also a Yue Lao Temple on top, where we can pray for marriage. I wish my relationship with Xiaobao will get better and better~

By Emperor |

You can think of Luhuitou Scenic Area as the Hong Kong Peak in Sanya, a place where you can overlook the city from a high place. The theme of the park itself is the love culture. But the story is not interesting. The main purpose is to climb high and look far.

By SOS |

Tickets: 42 yuan

Round trip tour bus: 15 yuan

Student ticket: Ticket + round trip tour bus = 40

Slide: 15 yuan

There are usually patterns on the stairs, so pay more attention.

By Hedazhuang |

Go in the evening to watch the sunset in Sanya. The panoramic view of Sanya, especially the night view, is breathtakingly beautiful!

By bottle |

It is best to enter the scenic area around 5:30 in the evening. If you take a tour bus, you can just watch the performances of foreign friends and the sunset.

Climb to the top, around 7 o'clock, you can see the night view of Sanya City, which is quite beautiful~~

(Luhuitou lights up at night, and from the foot of the mountain, it looks like an active deer)

By Taotao |

You can walk to the top of the mountain or take a sightseeing bus. The mountain is not high, but it should be tiring to walk. Watching the sunset at the top of the mountain, seeing the South China Sea connecting the mountain and the buildings, you will feel that this is a very promising city.

By 洎茬飛埖輕姒夢 |

Luhuitou Scenic Area is a park located on a mountain. You can take an electric car up the mountain, but you need to buy a ticket separately. We walked up and down the mountain and didn’t feel tired.

By Mobile phone with SIM card |

It's a great place for a walk, with a great viewing platform and many stories and legends.

By Mr. Xue |

One of the oldest scenic spots in Sanya, I felt it was worth the trip after visiting, the scenery exceeded my expectations!

By Ali |

It's a good place to overlook the city of Sanya. I went there in 2010, when the Sailboat Hotel was still under construction.

By China-TravelNote users |

After coming down from Luhuitou, we had dinner at a small restaurant next to Phoenix Island. In fact, the Baoluo noodles on the roadside are very good and are the breakfast of Sanya people.

But now you can eat it at noon or in the evening.

By Carrie Nong |

You can see the panoramic view of Sanya Bay. I bought a ticket on China-TravelNote and got a 50% discount. It is actually just a small hill, which is a story of a deer turning back. You can see Dadonghai and Sanya Bay at the same time, and you can finish the walk in half an hour.

Even though the bird's eye view of Sanya Bay from Luhuitou Park is spectacular, I still think the tickets are too expensive.

By Glass Rabbit |

The road from Sanya city to Luhuitou Park is very beautiful, with flowers, trees, rocks and rocks dotted along the way. From Luhuitou Park, you can overlook the panoramic view of Sanya City, the sea and sky, and you can also see the Shell Hotel. Taking a photo with the iconic Luhuitou sculpture has become an important ritual activity for the family. The first photo was in 1997, the second was in 2008, and the third time was this year. This sculpture has witnessed the changes of everyone in the family.

By China-TravelNote users |

It took about half an hour to finish the tour. If you want to watch the sunset, it is recommended to go around 5 o'clock.

By Strange |

I went there at noon. It took about 2 hours to walk without taking the sightseeing bus. The scenery was average and the ticket price of 35 was not suitable. Judging from the location, it should be suitable for watching the sunrise and sunset, but you can also see it from the hills nearby which are not in the scenic area. So it is not worth the price and I don't recommend it. I recommend Tianya Haijiao to watch the sunset, but you have to return to the bus stop before 7 o'clock to take the bus.

By Interesting soul in the mirror |

Maybe you have climbed many mountains and seen the bright lights of many cities. However, the Luhuitou Scenic Area located in Dadonghai, Sanya, is only 7km long from top to bottom. Whether you drive or walk to the top of the mountain, you can absorb the essence of heaven and earth along the way and encounter a romantic love legend about it. When night falls, overlooking the beautiful scenery and sunset of Sanya with your family or partner and sharing happy times is indeed a place not to be missed.

By Qian |

The scenic spot is at the top of the mountain. I bought a ticket to the top of the mountain. I found that the ticket money was not wasted when I got on the scenic spot bus. There were basically no attractions on the way to the top of the mountain. It would be tiring to go up the mountain by myself. I personally think that the main attraction of Luhuitou Scenic Spot is to stand on the top of the mountain and see the scenery of Sanya. The air quality in Sanya is so good that you can see Nanhai Guanyin.

By wuxiaoting |

At the top of Luhuitou Mountain, you can see a similar sea view! But I think it's still average. The scenery is still there. I took a sightseeing bus up there. I didn't walk! It was too tiring.

By juexun |

I originally thought it was just a place name, but after watching Sanya Eternal Love, I realized that it was a love story. On the top of the mountain is the statue of Lu Huitou, a sika deer looking back with a wish, and on both sides are the images of a man and a woman.

A friend recommended the night view of Luhuitou to me, so I came to Luhuitou to see the night view. I had never thought about the sunset, but it turns out that the sunset in this place is so beautiful.

By Jiajia |

As the most famous and economical tourist attraction in the city, you can see most of Sanya’s scenery from the Guanhai Pavilion, as well as the sunset over Phoenix Island and Sanya Bay. The price-performance ratio is quite high.

By Miuuu |

After eating and drinking, I went to the nearby Luhuitou to see the night view. I browsed a few websites and found that Qunar.com was selling tickets for 9.9 yuan because it was the beer festival. I decisively placed an order here and the tickets were issued in seconds. There was a scalper at the entrance of the scenic spot who said that it was 5 yuan cheaper than buying at the window on site, but it was still more expensive than online. It was more cost-effective to buy tickets online. The night view was beautiful!

By Hero V5 |

Luhuitou is surrounded by the sea on three sides and adjacent to Sanya city on one side. It is a commanding point for climbing up to overlook the sea and watch the sunrise and sunset. It is also the only good place to overlook the panoramic view of Sanya city. If you come here in the evening, you can enjoy the beautiful sunset scenery and the dreamy and dazzling night view.

Luhuitou is the most worthwhile scenic spot in Sanya. Compared with the crowded tour groups and sunbathing spots in Yalong Bay, Nanhai Guanyin, and Tianya Haijiao, this one feels more comfortable and has more beautiful scenery. If you are not traveling with a tour group, it is recommended to visit Luhuitou in the evening, where you can enjoy the beautiful sunset, the beautiful Sanya city scenery, and the extremely gorgeous Sanya night view.

There is a certain distance from the entrance of the scenic area to the top of the mountain. If you don’t want to walk, you can choose to spend 15 yuan to buy a sightseeing bus ticket. But to be honest, the scenery along the way is good, and the angles overlooking Sanya are also different. If your physical strength allows, it is recommended to walk up and down the mountain.

A good place to watch the night view of Sanya, recommended to go at night, various online ticket booking + battery car

By You ohh |

This attraction is very suitable for couples to visit, with convenient transportation and many hotels nearby. In general, it takes 3 hours to play. It is best to book tickets online, about 20 yuan per person, and it is more expensive to buy them on site. The tour bus is 15 yuan per person. I heard that there are wild monkeys on the mountain, so it is best not to disturb them, so as not to harm yourself. I usually go up the mountain at around 6 o'clock in the evening. At around 7 o'clock, I can see the night lights of the entire Sanya Bay and Phoenix Island. There is also a sea-viewing pavilion where you can see the sunset. Interested friends can prepare in advance.

By in vain |

You can overlook the entire bay from the top of the mountain. There are also many monkeys. The only drawback is that there are mosquitoes. It is recommended to bring mosquito repellent.

Luhuitou Scenic Area is located 3 kilometers south of Sanya City. It is the southernmost mountain on Hainan Island. This mountain is surrounded by the sea on three sides and looks like an Eld's Deer. It is 275 meters high. When you climb to the top of Luhuitou Mountain, you can see the whole view of Sanya City. I didn't buy a shuttle bus to the scenic area. The scenic area is not big and is all roads. There are no steps, so it is easier to climb.

By s453515 |

The hotel was booked near Dadonghai. The first attraction upon arriving in Sanya was Luhuitou. When I saw the sky of Sanya, a song kept circling in my mind, "I want to take you to see the clear sky and tell you loudly that I am fascinated by you." It is really beautiful. It is hot in the afternoon, so you can take a light car to the top of the mountain to see the scenery. You can go down the mountain slowly, and then take a taxi directly to the First Market. After all, as the first meal in Sanya, you still have to reward yourself. We bought the seafood ourselves and found a processing shop called Little Scallop Seafood Shop, which was highly recommended by a friend. You can also go directly to the store and ask the proprietress to take you to buy. She is a good bargainer. The taste is really delicious. One word of praise. After dinner, you can go shopping. There are all kinds of small things, but you need to watch out for thieves.

By The heart is in disarray and the people are scattered |

You must see the night view at Luhuitou Park! There are tickets at China-TravelNote, 22 yuan, which is much cheaper than buying at the ticket office. There are battery cars in the scenic area, but it is not recommended to take them. The park is not big, you can walk and stop, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk. Many of the scenery on the road cannot be seen by car. The ticket price during the day is different from that at night. Tickets purchased online require to pick up before 17:30 and enter the park before 18:00.

The monkeys are free-range, and I saw them while walking.

The night view of Luhuitou is really amazing.

You can overlook the scenery of Phoenix Island and the entire Sanya.

Luhuitou is near the Sanya Municipal Committee. It is mainly a scenic spot for climbing and looking far. The ticket does not include the battery car, which is 15 yuan/person/round trip. If you take the car, you can save a lot of energy. It is still very tiring to go up the mountain. It takes about 20 minutes to walk, but you may miss some angles for taking pictures. There are monkeys on the mountain. They will not attack people, but you still have to stay away. Luhuitou has night tickets, where you can see the lights, but the price seems to be 5 yuan more expensive. Night tickets are sold from 17:30. If you enter before and don't leave, you don't need to pay for the ticket.

The group-purchased ticket plus the electric car cost 42 per person. There were many people going to Luhuitou to take pictures of the sunset. When we arrived at the viewing platform, many people had occupied the best positions.

We went to Luhuitou at 4 o'clock. The ticket for Luhuitou Park was 22 yuan, which was booked on Taobao. When we entered, the ticket seller said that we had to leave before 6 o'clock. I don't know if she was discriminating against tourists who bought tickets online. We didn't take the sightseeing bus to go up. We could see more scenery and enjoy it slowly on foot. We saw many road signs saying that there were monkeys along the way, but we didn't see any monkeys when we reached the top of the mountain. Not long after we walked, there was a place where deer were raised. It smelled bad on the roadside. There was an additional charge for feeding the deer. After walking most of the way, we could overlook the whole Sanya, which was very beautiful. Going up further is Luhuitou Square. It took 40 minutes to walk from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. We rested on the mountain and the sun was about to set, so we went down the mountain. Fortunately, we met many monkeys on the way down the mountain, big and small monkeys. It was the first time we saw them so close. They also snatched the drinks of the tourists who went down the mountain with us, and they also knew that they were drinkable.

We were so hungry that we hurried back to the city to eat the seafood mentioned in the guide. We chose the Little Beard Seafood Processing Shop in the First Market. We were so hungry that we ran straight into the market to buy seafood. There were so many seafood here that we just wandered around. We bought the seafood we liked and took it directly to the processing shop. We recommend the Sichuan Little Beard Seafood Processing Shop. The fresh seafood is processed into delicious seafood. We started eating as soon as the seafood came up. We finally got to eat the authentic and delicious seafood in Hainan. Let's enjoy the seafood feast~

It's a pity that I didn't climb to the top. I suggest taking an electric car up the mountain with the elderly and children.

There is an interesting story about the place name "Luhuitou": A long time ago, there was a cruel cave master who wanted to get a pair of precious deer antlers and forced the Li youth Ahei to go up the mountain to hunt deer. Once when Ahei went up the mountain to hunt, he saw a beautiful spotted deer being chased by a leopard. Ahei shot the leopard to death with an arrow, and then chased the spotted deer relentlessly for nine days and nine nights, crossing ninety-nine mountains and chasing it to the coral cliff south of Sanya Bay. The spotted deer faced the vast South China Sea and had no way to go. At this time, the young hunter was about to put an arrow on the deer, and the spotted deer suddenly turned back and gazed at him affectionately, and turned into a beautiful girl and walked towards him, so they got married. The deer girl invited a group of deer brothers to defeat the cave master, and they settled on the stone cliff, the man farmed and the woman wove, and after their descendants multiplied, they built this coral cliff into a beautiful Li manor. From then on, this ridge was called "Luhuitou Ridge", this village was called "Luhuitou Village", and this peninsula was called "Luhuitou Peninsula".

Now a beautiful mountaintop park has been built on the top of Luhuitou[1], and a giant statue 12 meters high, 9 meters long, and 4.9 meters wide has been built on the mountain based on the beautiful legend. As a result, Sanya is also known as the "Deer City".

Luhuitou is actually a small hill that stretches out to the South China Sea. It is called Luhuitou Ridge, which is about 270 meters high. It was originally an isolated island in the sea. Later, due to the continuous uplift of the earth's crust, a large amount of coral fragments and other materials were accumulated and gradually became island sand. It was connected with Nanbian Ridge and Huoling Ridge to become the unique land-connected island we see today. Luhuitou Ridge has now been turned into a park. There is a mountain road that leads to the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain stands a statue that reproduces the myth of Luhuitou, which is 12 meters high. Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can see the beautiful scenery of Sanya City. Climbing here at night, you will feel like you are in Guanghan Palace. At the foot of Luhuitou Mountain, you can also see colorful parrot fish, colorful starfish, strange-shaped hermit crabs, ugly sea cucumbers, sea earthworms and rare small Asian fish. In addition, there are sea iron trees, sea willows, coral trees, anemones, chicken feather grass, soft corals and sea clams, jellyfish, sea thorns, sponges and other underwater ornamental objects, which are gorgeous and fascinating. The coconut trees shade the hotels, resorts, coconut farms and pearl farms. This is one of the most ideal winter resorts in my country.

It's a very boring scenic spot. I don't know what to do. There is a sightseeing bus that drives a little bit. You have to walk on the road by yourself. If it's sunny, it's super hot. There are wild monkeys inside. It's not necessarily there. There is a slide on the mountain where you can slide down, but it's not interesting. It's 30 yuan per person. I don't recommend going to this scenic spot

Not far from the First Market. There is a tour bus from the entrance to the observation deck, you must pay for it! A 2-3 km walk in winter is fine, but it can be really hot in summer, and the observation deck where the tour bus stops is a long way from Luhuitou. The Phoenix Island seen from the observation deck is super spectacular!

Hainan is so charming, with beaches, white clouds, swimming, and tropical fruits. Luhuitou is actually artificial. It's just so-so.

It was my first time to get close to monkeys, experience monkeys snatching food, and watch the sunset at the seaside for the first time, overlooking the sea view of Sanya. A very good place I like very much

This is the most impressive attraction during the Spring Festival trip to Sanya. It was planned and unexpected.



During the two nights in Sanya, I stayed in the Dadonghai area, very close to Luhuitou. At night, through the window, I saw lights on the hills in front of me. I knew that it was the beginning of Luhuitou night.



Luhuitou attraction 1: Night view. There is an artistic night view lighting system on the mountain, which should be very beautiful when the lights are on. Climbing to the top of Luhuitou Mountain, you can see the panoramic view of Sanya. This is definitely a good place to see the night view. Unfortunately, I came back from Nanshan unexpectedly late on the first day and couldn't catch up. I had to rush back to Haikou on the second day, so it was impossible to see the night view. It's a bit regretful, I will make up for it next time.



The second attraction of Luhuitou: wild monkeys. I saw photos of wild monkeys with Phoenix Island Hotel as the background on the Internet, and I almost thought there was a zoo here! As soon as I got off the scenic battery car, a large group of wild monkeys rushed towards me, which really scared me. They were free-range, wild, and in a large group, and they were not afraid of people at all. You are there to enjoy the scenery, and they are there to eat fruits from the trees peacefully. If you have food on hand, be sure to hide it, otherwise it will come to steal it if it finds it. Don't feed it, otherwise it will follow you.



Luhuitou attraction 3: Love legend. Luhuitou has a beautiful love legend of the Li ethnic group in Hainan. Therefore, the park is positioned as a love culture theme park, with small attractions such as the Eternal Love Platform, the Couple Tree, the Stone of the Sea, the Statue of Yue Lao, etc. The highest peak is the 15-meter Luhuitou sculpture, which is said to be the city sculpture of Sanya.



This place is not very popular, and there are plenty of parking spaces. Tickets are not expensive, and there are discounts if you buy them online. You can enter the park on the same day you buy them.

Generally speaking, the scenery is OK. To be honest, it is just an ordinary urban botanical garden. I suggest you go directly to the Tropical Forest Park, which is larger and you can see the scenery of Luhuitou from there. Luhuitou only has a few more sculptures and the legend of Luhuitou.

Because Xiao Huzi is one of the few old stores in the First Market with a history of 20 years, the reputation accumulated over 20 years can be assured. Xiao Huzi will provide free help in choosing seafood. We read several guides online and they strongly recommended Xiao Huzi, so we chose this store to leave professional matters to professionals. We only need to follow and enjoy the joy brought by this process, without losing knowledge or happiness. In addition to professional seafood selection, they will also help you bargain, especially the seafood is very delicious. In Xiao Huzi, you can choose according to your taste, light or heavy taste, so there are more choices for the same taste, Sichuan flavor is more authentic, and the ingredients have been continuously improved for 20 years, and the taste is very delicious. In addition, there are cameras installed here, and the processing price is clearly marked, so there is no need to worry about the price and the impossible things such as substitution. Must-order spicy Hele crab. This season is the most plump time for seafood. Look at how thick the crab paste that Xiao Huzi clerk helps to choose is, it is really irresistible to eat it in your mouth. The spicy and fragrant cooking method cannot cover up the sweetness of the crab itself. This Hainan famous dish is indeed well-deserved. The steamed grouper has white meat and great taste, and the garlic vermicelli scallops are also extremely delicious.

Tickets are issued very quickly and are very convenient to use. The scenery on the mountain is nice, and you can see the panoramic view of Sanya. The scenic area is a bit small. It is recommended to visit in the afternoon. You can finish it in two or three hours. It is still a place worth visiting and economical. You can stand on the top of the mountain to enjoy the panoramic view of Sanya city.

I live in Sanya Bay, and it takes 40 to 50 minutes to get to Luhuitou by taxi. Luhuitou overlooks the mountain and sea views, and it is recommended to watch the sunset and night view. It takes 20 minutes to climb the mountain without resting. It took me and Lao Zheng more than an hour to walk and take pictures. If you are afraid of being tired or hot, you can also choose an electric car. You can buy a ticket and an electric car combined ticket. Sanya in May is very beautiful with the phoenix tree.

Overlooking Sanya while climbing the mountain, it is said that only at Luhuitou can you see the entire picture of Sanya.

I took the photos with my cellphone, I don’t know how to take photos, I just took them based on my feelings.

There is a very touching legend about the legendary Deer Turning Back Sculpture.

When we reached the top of the mountain, all kinds of people were taking photos. We sat and waited for the sunset with a group of Russians. Lao Li said that when he gets old, he can come to Sanya to be a tour guide.

The first time I saw the sunset over the sea, it was really like the sun and the moon. If I were to stand out from it, the sea embraced the afterglow of the sunset, reflecting the magnificence of the sunset. There were also clouds that traveled the world with swords, and when they met the sunset, they became gorgeous sunsets. In fact, all things have their own attributes, just like humans, there is no class distinction. Being yourself is a kind of beauty in itself!

According to legend, a young hunter chased a deer over mountains and hills until he reached Luhuitou. The deer transformed into a young girl, married the young man, and they worked the fields and wove cloth here. Luhuitou became famous because of this.
