Introduction to Sanya

Sanya City is located at 18 degrees north latitude, at the southernmost tip of Hainan Island, the second largest island in China. The city's total area is 1,919 square kilometers, which is about one-third of Shanghai. With mountains to the north and the South China Sea to the south, Sanya enjoys the strongest Feng Shui in China. The coastline is 209 kilometers long, with more than 40 large and small islands, 19 harbours, and China's top beaches such as Haitang Bay and Yalong Bay.

The sea area under its jurisdiction is 3,500 square kilometers. The Sanya fishery is one of the three largest fisheries in Hainan and is rich in sea cucumbers, groupers, mackerel, lobsters and other high-quality seafood. The Mazu Temple on Wuzhizhou Island is one of the oldest temples in Hainan. Fishermen go to burn incense every time they go to sea and celebrate the New Year.

The terrain of Sanya is high in the north and low in the south. Fenghuangling with an altitude of 393 meters is the highest peak in the city. More than ten rivers, including the Ningyuan River, Tengqiao River, and Sanya River, which originate from the mountainous areas in central Hainan Island, pass through Sanya and flow into the South China Sea. Among them, the Sanya River bifurcates near its estuary, resembling the character Y, and is also called the Sanya River, which is the origin of the name Sanya today.
