Phoenix Ridge Scenic Area
凤凰岭
A mountaintop scenic area behind downtown Sanya, where a cable car to the summit gives views over Sanya Bay, Dadonghai and Yalong Bay.
The Phoenix Ridge Scenic Area, known as Haishi Shanmeng, lies north of downtown Sanya. Its main peak is about 400 metres above sea level, making it the highest viewpoint near the city. After taking the sightseeing cable car or the scenic area shuttle to the top, you can see downtown Sanya, Sanya Bay, Phoenix Island, Luhuitou and Dadonghai in the distance from the summit platform. It is known as the 'Summit of the City of Sanya,' and the sunsets and night views are especially spectacular.
Admission, including the cable car, is around RMB 100–150. Opening hours are roughly 08:00–22:00; check the official information. It takes about 15 minutes by taxi from the city centre to the foot of the mountain. It is best to go up in the evening so you can see both the sunset and the night view.
