Not too long ago Luhuitou Peninsula was a quiet piece of land jutting into the South China Sea, inhabited by a few villagers. Now that it's been "discovered" it's home to a park that attracts visitors with nice views of the city and of course the sea. The peninsula is a good place to glimpse endemic flora and, if you're lucky, some fauna. The beaches aren't the best around, but it's nice to get some elevation and have a look around. Many short hikes and walks are possible in the area. If you're interested in culture you might enjoy the strange sculpture of a deer with an attached man and woman. This is a depiction of the myth that gives the peninsula its name; Luhuitou translates to something like "deer turning its head," and the story goes that a young hunter trapped a deer at the water's edge, but the deer fortunately morphed into a beautiful young woman and the hunter and the woman lived happily ever after and populated most of the peninsula with their love.
