Tianya Haijiao ('Edge of the Sky, Rim of the Sea') is the most famous scenic spots on Hainan Island. It is located at the southwest seaside of Sanya. Literally it means the end of sky and the rim of the sea in Chinese and it is geographically on the southern tip of the tropical Ultima Thule of China. It covers a land area of 10.4 square kilometers and a sea area of 6 square kilometers and is marked by several grotesque stones as high as two men.
The most representative spot, where you can see a giant rock with Chinese characters meaning the end of sky and another rock meaning the rim of the sea, is 3 kilometers away from the entrance of Tianyahaijiao Park. Roaming in Tianyahaijiao, you can see the dreamlike coastal scenery in the fantastic southern atmosphere and you will be lost in wild and fanciful thoughts: Is there a sea beyond the sea and a sky beyond the sky?
