Wuzhizhou Tourism Zone comprises Wuzhizhou Island and the waters that immediately surround it, including the coral reefs so popular with divers. Wuzhizhou Island is a tiny pearl of an island located in Haiting Bay, just off the coast from the small town of Lingwang on the southeastern coast of Hainan Island, about 30 kilometers by road in a northeasterly direction from the city of Sanya, the main tourist hub in the region.
Lover Bridge
Lover Bridge, originally an iron chain bridge, was an offshore watch post once used by the island defending army.
It would need some courage and flexibility if you want to walk on it. Some pretty girls may be eager enough to walk through the chain bridge and step into the watch post to find something new, while they still worried about risks of falling into the deep sea. So the girl would grasp his boy friend’s hands firmly and yell and walk forward. Therefore the bridge got a romantic name as “Lover Bridge”.
The previous iron chain bridge has been renovated as present wood board bridge by us for the safety of guests. Have a girl friend? Then it would be an opportunity here to walk through the "Lover Bridge” grasping your girl friend’s hands.
Sunrise Rock
The Sunrise Rock is located at the southeastern cliff in Wuzhizhou Island. Standing on the Sunrise Rock, leaning against the azure ocean in breeze and gazing far into the distance, you can overlook the whole island and have a panoramic view toward the South China Sea.
At the foot of Sunrise Rock there are jagged rocks in grotesque shapes. Upon calm seas and gentle breezes, you may only witness the majestic stones in all its variety; while upon stormy sea and terrifying waves, you may experience our great nature’s magnificent scenery of shaking heaven and earth. Sunrise Rock is the most optimal site to observe sunrise.
When the red sun initially gushes at the easternmost skyline, boundless sunglow would trigger all your joyfulness and at the same time those overwhelming billows would comfort all those frustrated hearts.
Gold Turtle stretching forward to the Sea
In the southeastern area of Wuzhizhou Island and exactly under the Sunrise Rock, there is a natural giant stone in the shape of a huge turtle whose head and shell are vivid and visible.
The most fantastic thing about the turtle is that a long strip rock above the sea level seats itself at the left front of the whole rocks and thus when submerged by sea water, it looks like that the turtle is thrashing water with its paws. The image is so dynamic and vivid that it looks like a giant turtle edging down upon the vast ocean and returning to its motherland. Then the sight spot got its meaningful name as “Gold Turtle Stretching forward to the Sea”.
Lover Island
Lover Island consists of two giant stones that have witnessed thousand years of ebb and flow and now still stands there calmly face to face as if a couple in love.
It is said that it was nominated in the name of a pair of deeply loved young couple who were turned into stones by irritated Dragon King. Now Lover Island has became one of the most attractive sights in Wuzhizhou Island and the best favored site for those lovers to whisper to each other and appreciate the rote of surf.
Life Well
According to the record of Sanya’s county annals, long ago there were a fisherman and his three sons, who made their living by going fishing in the sea.
One day they were hit by an unexpected hurricane and all fell into water. With a piece of shipboard in hands and confronting the struggle of life and death for several days, they were so hungry and thirsty. Fortunately they were carried by waves and landed at the beach of the Wuzhizhou Island. To their great surprise, they found a little pond adjacent to their landing site and thus they were saved. Consequently they settled down in the Island and successfully excavated a well at the landing site and then the well got its name as "Life Well”.
Ever since then the well has been providing fresh water to numerous fishermen who pass by it and go out for fishing.
