Phoenix Ridge Sea Vows Scenic Area

　　The Sanya Phoenix Ridge Sea Vows Scenic Area is situated in the eastern part of Sanya city proper, covering an area about 5 kilometers wide from east to west and 7 kilometers long from north to south. It comprises major peaks including Phoenix Ridge, Conch Ridge, and Hui Ridge, with a total planned area of 17 square kilometers. The main development projects of the scenic area are concentrated on Phoenix Ridge. As the core of Sanya’s urban eco-tourism, Phoenix Ridge, according to the ancient Sanya chronicle "Yazhou Zhi," has an elevation of 394 meters, making it the highest peak in the Sanya city area, unmatched within a 40-li radius.

　　The Sanya Phoenix Ridge Sea Vows Scenic Area is being developed into China’s only theme park that combines the culture of the phoenix with love. The phoenix, king of birds, symbolizes good fortune, harmony, and happiness. Legend has it that long ago, the residents of Sanya made a living through fishing and hunting. One day, a colorful large bird flew in, carrying a stalk of rice in its beak and placing it on this ridge, which led to the later development of agricultural life. Viewed from above, the ridge resembles a phoenix spreading its wings, hence the name Phoenix Ridge. “The phoenix flies, spreading its wings and feathers,” symbolizes the deep affection and harmony between husband and wife. The development of Phoenix Ridge signifies a time of peace and prosperity, heralding the arrival of the phoenix.

　　The scenic area consists of the Entrance Landscape Zone, which includes the Qinglong Pool Fengshui Pond, Phoenix Tree, and Betel Nut Garden, along with the mountaintop attractions: the “Four Bays and Eight Sceneries Viewing Area,” the “Sea Vows Mountain Pledges Square,” and the “Crystal Sanctuary Love-Themed Forest Landscape Area.” The Four Bays refer to Yalong Bay, Yulin Bay, Dadonghai Bay, and Sanya Bay, while the Eight Sceneries refer to the Eight Scenic Spots of Sanya. The “Four Bays and Eight Sceneries Viewing Area” offers the best panoramic views of Sanya within the Phoenix Ridge Scenic Area.

　　The “Crystal Sanctuary Love-Themed Forest Landscape Area” showcases the journey of love through the intertwined growth of plants. At the highest point of this area lies the “Crystal Sanctuary,” the highlight of the zone and also the highest and most naturally romantic mountaintop crystal hall in Sanya, Hainan. Couples can join hands at the Crystal Sanctuary, with the mountain as their witness and the sea as their vow, to “pledge their love on Phoenix Ridge and walk hand in hand to the ends of the earth.”

　　The redwood boardwalks and zigzag bridges of the “Four Bays and Eight Sceneries Viewing Area” and the “Crystal Sanctuary Love-Themed Forest Landscape Area” form a 3-kilometer-long sightseeing trail. The air here contains about 5,500 negative ions per cubic centimeter. Strolling through the forest, you’ll see playful macaques, hear birdsong, enjoy fragrant blooms, and feel refreshing cool breezes, allowing you to return to nature and experience the joy of simplicity in this “urban forest.”
