    Capture Sanya's Breathtaking Panorama: Ascend Luhuitou Park for a stunning 360-degree view of the city and coastline, especially magical at sunset. 4:00 - 6:00 PM: Luhuitou Park (The Deer Turns Its Head) Our final ascent takes us toLuhuitou Park, perched atop a hill overlooking Sanya city and bay. The park is named after the beautiful legend of a young hunter chasing a deer, which turned into a beautiful maiden—they fell in love and founded the city. The park is home to a large stone sculpture depicting this very scene. Climb to the summit (a short, easy walk or a shuttle ride) for arguably the best panoramic view of Sanya. It's the perfect place to watch the city begin to sparkle as the sun sets over the horizon.
