Phoenix Island (Sanya)
凤凰岛
An artificial island in Sanya Bay whose sail-shaped hotel towers and night-time building lights make it one of Sanya's city landmarks.
Phoenix Island lies within Sanya Bay. Built on reclaimed land, it is connected to the city centre by a sea-crossing bridge. Five sail-shaped towers on the island house hotels and apartments, and the island is also home to the Sanya International Cruise Home Port. At night, the island's light show on the building façades shines alongside the skyline of Sanya Bay, which looks lovely from the Sanya Bay shoreline or from the top of Luhuitou Hill. Most ordinary visitors need to stay at a hotel or make an appointment to go onto the island, so most people simply admire it from the opposite shore.
