Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- KodoDrummerBuenos Aires, Argentina70,623 contributionsThis is a very beautiful beach, well maintained with nice soft, clean sand. Water too is clean but chilly in the winter months. Few adventure beyond dipping their feet in the water. Inexpensive in the off season.Written 6 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KodoDrummerBuenos Aires, Argentina70,623 contributionsAwe-inspiring, beautiful Guan Yin Goddess of Nanshan statue. Large park area, lends itself to nice walks while you reflect on (your) life and the energy of this Buddhist haven for sightseers.Written 18 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sandra J39 contributionsA lovely show! Highly recommend it! There was a brief English description prior to each act. Nice choreography. audience of the love and sacrifice the nation has endured and how successful they have become.Written 29 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KodoDrummerBuenos Aires, Argentina70,623 contributionsThe Tianya Haijiao Scenic Area is home to huge rocks, coconut trees, and crystal-clear blue water. This charming tropical coastal area has a rich historical heritage, going back many dynasties.
The growth of trees in the scenic area is not only charming but also strange in rooting and branching.Written 17 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We booked tickets two days in advance, so it costs RMB 198 instead of the normal ¥298. We were there for the whole day, didn’t see a dolphin, but we had so much fun. The rides were thrilling. All staff were helpful. The park wasn’t busy (we went on a Friday), we only queued for two rides (the tornado spin and the rollercoaster), so no need to buy the express pass.Written 19 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AtanasAGuangzhou, China12 contributionsWe stay for around 4 hours in February 2019. The small jacussy don't have bubbles. but water is very hot. It is small park with trees, air is very good. The place have 5-6 bigger swimming pools 1 small lake and maybe more than 70 small like jacussy pools. Another good thing is marble beds for relax which are very hot and pool with small fishes which peel your skin, very refreshingWritten 30 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sonchita s3 contributionsFrom the top sunset view is so amazing. But the place was too crowdy when i visit. There have also a place where you can seat with your friends or family and spend some quality time with the natural air. But all food are expensive. You can go there with free online ticket. There have also car to round the full place. Need to pay for car ride.Written 12 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kevin mKunming, China97 contributionsA very nice Sandy beach with clear and clean water.
It is a public one so be ready to be bothered by many outsiders.
Very far from any attraction or even resturants or cafes.

There are frequent shuttle busses to bring you to different parts of the park so that was amazingly easy. The trails aren't too hard either for the elderly folks. There are fun activities for the bigger kids such as zip lining (there were 3 different zip lines) but the most fun for those under 70 years old was the giant 3km slide at the top of the mountain. It was a water slide on a glass path heading down the mountain -- super thrill ! It was like being in a water park -- fast and exciting and so much fun.
Take note that the park is quite strict about ages so they don’t allow people under 10 and above 70 to take the rides or even walk on the suspension bridge or the glass bridge. Which is a pity cause the glass bridge is the main highlight of the park. But there are other trails for the elderly too. The cinema experience was quite a treat as well – it’s a 4G type cinema experience and the show was about the whole park and seeing all the different areas of it – it was very well done and I would recommend watching it.
Our taxi driver offered to help us buy tickets which was helpful so they could help translate the ticket packages and they get a commission from the park – we still pay the same rate so I would recommend everyone let their taxi drivers help them buy the tickets. This seems to be the case to any attraction in Haikou – the taxi drivers get a commission if they help you buy the tickets so why not help them out.
We had an excellent taxi driver lady whom we used for all our 4 days in Sanya – ping me and I can share her contact! We communicated via wechat and wechat had a seamless translation software so it’ll be easy for non mandarin speakers too.Written 6 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I enjoyed big buffet you can take any food you want. However, in the evening there is nothing to see. When I stayed for one night all shops and entertaining places were closed after 6 pm. And I have to swim in my hotel. But it is great place for taking good photos.Written 27 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ian AndersonShanghai, China158 contributionsWe just did the walking trails, not the glass bridge - a very pleasant afternoon in a lovely forest environment, suitable for all ages. The so-called wetland area is very pretty and there is a lovely pond near the tea drinking arbour. Pathways are enjoyably random. Some good views from the bus which takes you up to the park. Reasonable food court at the entrance, even got a decent coffee in Dicos! Worth a visit but don't expect a wilderness or silence!Written 22 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- hweeyingJohor Bahru, Malaysia4,454 contributionsWe love the night view of Phoenix Island. We can easily cross the bridge from Sanya city by taxi. But we choose enjoyed the night view from Sanya beach.

We remembered our alphabet but we couldn't remember how to get to our car park as there was no car park map!
There are many different type of tickets that you can purchase at the counter. Must read carefully or ask the person who's selling the tickets. If you are a local from Hainan Island with the ID card from the island, then you're eligible to pay the "child" ticket price. We wanted to have a ticket including lunch which was the bamboo rice lunch, but I thought it was the buffet lunch so I bought this ticket and then realized that it was the wrong type of ticket. Just purchasing tickets were very confusing.....
There were also many restaurants that offer the different type of tickets purchased for lunch! We were very confused!
We finally found our restaurant and it was big, but the buffet was not quite. The food was more vegetarian dishes and people rushed to get as much as they could. That's when I really regretted I got the wrong tickets! After you finish eating, you must clear your table, putting the tray back and recycle your waste or throw as regular trash, etc. which I think was a great idea!
You cannot choose your seats for the show as they are pre-marked. Once you enter the show area, and find that you don't like where your seats are, you can upgrade by paying an extra RMB45 to upgrade to the VIP section which is right in front of the stage. We had seats that were not too far back but had a pillar which sort of blocked our view. I sat by the aisle so I could take pictures. Show was interesting.
The whole village was very informative. There were some women showing how they weave.
There was a part of the museum where you cannot take photos.
The gift shop was worth looking around. Things were quite expensive.
We enjoyed it as a whole.Written 30 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michel WDavidsonville, MD400 contributionsMountain park located close to Yalong bay. Resorts may offer free bus transportation but it’s better to take a short taxi ride, which is much faster because it avoids many stops and some cross-sell. The mountain is mostly attractive for the view. Little teams take you up the hill. Guides can be avoided because in our view there’s not much apart from the views, which are nice on a clear day, overlooking the bay and Sanya. You can walk around the mountain and there is a commerce street with shops and attractions. Nicely done but quite touristy. The zip line might be ok for people I in need of a bit of excitement (not us). All in all, you can spend a fairly pleasurable 2 hours here.Written 22 January 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
