The iconic megalithic group and the “Pillar of the Southern Sky”

The three major stone carvings within the scenic area—”Tianya Stone,” “Haijiao Stone,” and “Nantian Yizhu”—form the most representative viewpoints. Their inscriptions date back to the Qing Dynasty and are important symbols of Chinese geography and the imagery of the South China Sea. The massive rocks stand tall on the coast, creating a broad and expansive view with the waves, reefs, and distant mountains, making it perfect for taking commemorative photos. The walkway is built along the coast, allowing visitors to experience the unique charm of the sea breeze and the landscape up close.

A Landmark of Love and Romantic Photo Spots

“Tianya Haijiao” (End of the Earth) has symbolized enduring love since ancient times, making it a favorite photo and travel photography location for couples and newlyweds. The scenic area features several areas showcasing love culture, including a Love Square, a sculpture themed around vows, and a sea-view viewing platform, providing visitors with ceremonial photo backdrops. The sunset is particularly romantic, with golden rays casting their glow on the sea and stone carvings, further enhancing the atmosphere of this “sacred place of love.”

Coastal Boardwalk and Sunset Viewing Experience

Walking along the coastal boardwalk offers panoramic views of the long coastline and the swaying coconut palms, perfect for a leisurely stroll and family trips. The scenic area features several viewing platforms offering expansive vistas of the boulders and seascape from various angles. Sunset is the most enchanting time at Tianya Haijiao, as the sky gradually transforms from gold to pinkish-orange, making it an ideal time for photography and appreciating the South China Sea.

Cultural Stories and Century-Old Heritage

Tianya Haijiao was once a cultural symbol of exile for ancient officials, frequently appearing in literary classics and folk tales. Literati and poets throughout history have inscribed poems and left their names here, making it not only a natural landscape but also a repository of complex historical memories. Today, the scenic area introduces its cultural background through exhibition halls and a stone carving area, allowing visitors to understand why it has been remembered for centuries while enjoying their visit.
