Some holidays are meant for beachcombing; others are meant for slowing down. From May 19 to 21, Sanya Joy City brings the “island relaxation vibe” right into the mall. Robot dance performances, intangible cultural heritage lacquer fans, Eastern lucky fortune sticks, traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis, and electrifying Baduanjin (Qigong) sessions – this “May 19 China Tourism Day” event has no complicated rules. It’s simply an invitation to take a light, easy break during your journey.

Island Relaxation Session

Unlike typical check-in-style activities, this feels more like an “urban rest plan” that you can join at any time. You can wander alongside a Hanfu-clad NPC parade and stumble upon hidden little surprises. Or sit down and slowly make a mugwort wellness hammer, a traditional herbal sachet, or try your hand at coconut shell painting. Tired from shopping? Get a quick shoulder and neck massage or experience a complimentary TCM pulse diagnosis. The entire event has no sense of “must-finish” urgency – it’s better suited for strolling, playing, and simply zoning out.

Event Highlights

Robot dance performances will loop at the South Atrium, keeping the space lively and energetic throughout. Small interactive activities like intangible cultural heritage lacquer fans, the “Chopstick Challenge,” and Eastern lucky fortune sticks are perfect to enjoy with friends. An exclusive international community session starting May 22 will add electrifying Baduanjin and a Sizzling Zumba Party, blending the relaxed rhythm of Eastern wellness with island beats – offering a “city getaway” flavor far beyond ordinary mall events.

How to Participate

The event is open to all on-site. Simply head to Sanya Joy City to join the relevant interactive experiences. Some DIY and interactive activities have limited slots and require on-site qualification on a first-come basis. Please refer to on-site information for specific arrangements.

If you happen to be in Sanya in May, consider leaving an afternoon for Joy City. You don’t always have to rush to scenic spots. Making a sachet in the mall, drawing a lucky fortune stick, or relaxing to some music can sometimes become a wonderfully comforting memory of your journey.
