Highlights at a Glance: The majestic Guanyin statue stands tall over the sea, with serene Buddhist chants echoing inside Nanshan Temple; the culture of blessing and longevity has a long history, and the ecological park scenery is harmonious and natural.
Transportation Guide: Located 40 kilometers west of Sanya city, you can take the high-speed train to "Yazhou" station and then take a taxi, or drive directly via the G98 Ring Expressway, exiting at "Nanshan." The scenic area is vast, so it is recommended to reserve a full day.
Recommended Activities:
1. Worship the Sea Guanyin Statue: Walk along Guanyin Bridge to the sea platform to admire the 108-meter-tall Nanshan Sea Guanyin statue. You can climb the lotus throne to touch the Buddha’s feet and pray, feeling the solemnity and compassion of this towering figure standing on the waves.
2. Visit the Ancient Nanshan Temple: Head to the Tang-style Nanshan Temple, stroll among the magnificent halls, and from the sea-view platform, take in the magnificent scenery where mountains and sea blend, embracing both grandeur and tranquil Zen.
3. Stroll through the Blessing and Longevity Cultural Landscape: Enjoy Buddhist classic-related landscapes in the "Compassionate Salvation Garden," experience the culture of blessing and longevity in "Longevity Valley," and participate in a calming scripture copying journey at the Thirty-Three Guanyin Hall.
4. Taste Specialty Vegetarian Cuisine: At the "Chanyueyuan" or "Yuanqilou" vegetarian restaurants within the scenic area, enjoy an exquisite vegetarian feast, savoring the perfect blend of healthy eating and Zen lifestyle.
Tips: There is a sightseeing train in the scenic area for transportation; purchasing a ticket can greatly save your energy. The weather is hot, so be sure to apply sunscreen and stay hydrated. Dress neatly and appropriately to show respect for this Buddhist sacred site.
Summary: The Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone is far more than an ordinary scenic spot; it is a spiritual sanctuary integrating Buddhist culture, philosophies of blessing and longevity, and tropical landscapes. Here, you can not only admire the wonders of mountains and sea but also gain inner peace and beautiful blessings. It is truly a pilgrimage and heart-nourishing journey.
