😐 Really just okay - go early in the morning before it gets crowded with tourists. The locals start their day early with dances and water paintings on the ground in the morning; that’s way more fun than trying to catch a picture of the lake amidst the hoards of tourists that appear after breakfast.

👍 The road going up to Nokhoedu Park was so beautiful. The moment I saw the sea while eating coffee and various foods on the way, the ecstasy was great. The road to the top of the mountain was difficult, but the night view of downtown Sanya from the top of the mountain was truly a wonderful view that...

👍👍 As they say old but gold. It's a great place to visit, more for kids and teenagers than adults, but interesting nonetheless. Unfortunately the "big pandas are retired" and on the day I went the dolphins had been sent to visit the pandas for a short time. Several other attractions were also closed...
