A small 275-meter hill peninsula east of downtown, surrounded by sea on three sides and overlooking Sanya Bay and Phoenix Island — one of the most popular free night-view platforms in Sanya. The hill's name comes from a Li ethnic legend: a young hunter chased a sika deer to the cliff's edge, where it turned its head and became a girl; the two married and made a home, giving Sanya its nickname 'Deer City,' and the giant deer sculpture at the summit takes this as its theme. The park is dense with tropical plants and boardwalks wind up the hill; climb at dusk to wait for the sunset and then watch the city lights come on at a comfortable pace. At night, the angle looking down on the marina and yacht club under the lights is unique.
Getting there: By taxi / city bus from downtown
