Where is the scenic spot of Tianya Haijiao?

Tianya Haijiao Scenic Area, located in Tianya District, Sanya City, Hainan Province, is near Sanya Bay, about 23 kilometers southwest of the main city, with its back to Maling Mountain and facing the vast sea. It is the first tourist attraction in Hainan in the 31 years since the establishment of the province, the first tourist brand in Hainan in the 7th anniversary of the founding of New China, and a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

There are hundreds of stones standing on the beach of the scenic bay, among which "Tianya Stone", "Cape Stone", "Sun Moon Stone" and "Nantianyizhu" stand abruptly. There are hundreds of leishi standing on the beach, and there are many stone carvings on it. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Yazhou Prefecture kept the book written by Cheng Zhe, and Le Shi inscribed the word "Sea sentenced to the south sky", which is the earliest stone carving in the ends of the earth.

In the fifty-third year of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1714), three imperial envoys from the Imperial Palace inscribed the stone carving "The Sea Sentenced to the South Heaven" at the seaside of Xiamaling, which was the boundary between heaven and earth in China. The southern sky refers to the area where the sun travels, "judgment" means splitting in half, and "sea" refers to the South China Sea. The comprehensive meaning of "sea judging south sky" means that "South China Sea" is divided into "south sea and north sea" in "sea judging south sky". In the southeast of this stone carving, there is another cut stone, which represents the noon sun height on the winter solstice in Sanya. The stone carving of "the sea judges the south sky" represents the height of the Arctic here.

During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty (1727), Cheng Zhe, the magistrate of Yazhou, inscribed the word "Tianya" on a seashore boulder in Tianya Bay. During the Anti-Japanese War of the Republic of China, Wang Yi, commander of Qiongya garrison, wrote the word "Cape" on the adjacent boulder. In 1961, Guo Moruo wrote seven characters of "Tianya Haijiao Tourist Area" on the other side of the "Tianya" stone. At this point, this coastal area along Tianya Bay has become a veritable "Tianya Haijiao".
