China Travel

The Big and Small Dongtian scenic spot is located about 40 km to the west of Sanya city, and 13 km away from Tianya Haijiao. It has a history of more than 800 years and became famous in Song Dynasty. It's said that when the Chinese eminent Buddhist monk Jian Zhen visited Japan for the fifth time, he was encountered with typhoon on sea and floated to here and thus built the Dayun Temple to spread Buddhism culture. Here are four scenic spots that are: Buddhism Culture Center, Big and Small Dongtian, Gold and Jade Guanyin Pavilion, and Long Life Valley. Beautiful sea view melting with mountain sights gives you a fantastic picture. When Guo Moruo visited Sanya in 1962, he highly praised the spot and wrote down in his poet.
