Tianya Haijiao lies on the seafront at the western edge of Sanya, about 300 km from Haikou. Its core is a scattering of huge seaside boulders, most famously those inscribed with “Tianya” and “Haijiao,” making it a classic Hainan landmark.

Set between mountain and sea, the site pairs palms with boulders and beach, and a coastal walkway lets you stroll and take in the views. It carries people's imaginings of distant places and romance, and is worth a half-day to a full-day visit.
