Sanya Nanshan Buddhism Culture Park with GuanyinNanshan Temple Sanya Hainan Island2

Location of the Park:

Sanya Hainan Nanshan Buddhism culture Park is a Buddhist Park located in the west of Sanya Hainan Island and a must visit tourist attraction in Sanya Hainan Island China. The Nanshan Park is about one hour drive away from Downtown Sanya, 40 minutes from Sanya Phoenix International Airport, and only 15 minutes from Yazhou Ancient Town.

What to see at the park?

The park consists of 3 main parts: The longevity Valley, Nanshan Temple and NanHai Guanyin statue. The Nanshan Temple is the newest temple approved by Chinese government after 1949 when the People’s Republic China was founded. It is next to the ocean and boasts the highest Buddha statue in the world: NanHai Guanyin statue. The Guanyin Statue of Hainan, also known as Guan Yin of the South Sea of Sanya, is a 108 metre tall statue of the bodhisattva Guan Yin. The statue has three aspects; one side faces inland and the other two face the South China Sea, to represent blessing and protection by Guanyin of China and the world. One aspect depicts Guanyin cradling a sutra in the left hand and gesturing the Vitarka Mudra with the right, the second with her palms crossed, holding a string of prayer beads, and the third holding a lotus.

It took six years to build the Guanyin Statue of Hainan, and was enshrined on April 24, 2005, with 108 eminent monks from various Buddhist groups in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and Mainland China, and tens of thousands of pilgrims.  The event is one of the biggest event held on Hainan Island since 1988 when the new province was announced the youngest province of China. It is a religious event, but almost all local governments attended this event.
