Tianya Haijiao Scenic Spot

Tianya Haijiao (meaning “the edge of the sky and the rim of the sea”) lies below Xiamaling Hill, about 50 kilometers west of Yalong Bay. In ancient times, Hainan Island was a place where exiles were sent, because there was little means of transportation and only scattered inhabitants on the island. When the exiles of ancient times came here, they found themselves with no way out, and little to do but stare out at the sea. The writings of ancient scholars and poets recorded many tragic ends here. Odd rocks stand erect against the azure sky, and coconut trees sway in the breeze near the sea. The scenery of this place is truly enchanting.
