  Sanya, with its verdant mountains and blue sea, boasts a marvelous abstract "gallery" sculpted by the divine hands of nature. The gullies and ravines, crinkled and hidden in every corner, are the gorgeous footprints left by nature quietly here. There are the azure sky, pristine white clouds, and boundless sea. You can come and listen to the story of every rare stone and get a glimpse of nature's paintings.


  01 Tianya Haijiao Scenic Area


  Tianya Stone, standing at a height of 10.8 meters and with a circumference of about 66 meters, is the symbol of the Tianya Haijiao Scenic Area. The word "Tianya" was inscribed by Cheng Zhe, the governor of Yazhou, during the Dingwei year of the Yongzheng reign. The stone appears to be a perfect square within a circle, and also a perfect circle within a square, featuring a stable and solid foundation. The Tian Ya Stone occupies a corner of the bay and has a history of eons of the time.

  Daxiao Dongtian Scenic Area.


  The three characters "xiao dong tian" are engraved on the west side of a huge rock facing the sea. The characters are as big as a bucket on the side facing the sea. Mao Kui ordered someone to engrave the two characters "Diaotai", which were inscribed at the time of "Chunyou Ding Wei mid-autumn" and named "prefect Mao Kui Shi Jing".



  03 Wenmen Village, Tianya District, Sanya


  After seeing the strange stones in the scenic spot, the scattered strange stones in the villages are more worth visiting. We have to mention the strange stones in Wenmen Village, Tian Ya District, Sanya. These ancient relics have been passed down to this day from generation to generation, under the protection of the Li people of the Wenmen. Legend has it that during the Northern Song Dynasty, an official was demoted to this place and unintentionally touched the stone, and lightning struck the sky and quickly disappeared. Soon after, the official was reinstated and the official hat stone became famous. The official hat stone symbolizes reinstatement and gradual promotion.



  Overlapping array, or scattered, the sculptor of nature has spent thousands of years shaping magical and abundant strange stones for us. These strange stones embellish the mountains and water of Sanya and silently tell the long history of Sanya, which is breathtaking.
