Sanya's tourism boom continues this summer

Sanya's summer tourism market has been heating up recently, with popular spots like Tianya Haijiao, Dongtian Park, and Luhuitou Park capitalizing on the summer travel boom by innovating their offerings.

They've revamped their attractions to create cool, relaxing environments and are rolling out unique cultural products, themed events and special promotions to welcome visitors from all over to experience the special charm of Sanya.

During the summer break, Dongtian Park has improved its main pathways and introduced two new rest stops. After enjoying the stunning mountain and sea views, visitors can take a break, sip tea in the gentle sea breeze and unwind from their travels — soaking up the laid-back coastal vibe.
