Wuzhizhou Island has a tropical maritime climate, warm and agreeable all year round. Arbor trees are tall and straight, and shrubs luxuriantly green; silver beaches stretch long and unbroken; and, mountains rise steeply. When strong winds come in, great waves rise as high as 10 meters to the beat of a huge water drumming along the shore to create both aural and visual sensations.

Although it covers an area of only 1.48 square kilometers, Wuzhizhou Island is one of the rare islands with abundant fresh water resources and lush vegetation in Hainan Province.

The Guanri Yan in the southeast of Wuzhizhou Island is the best place to watch the sea. Standing cliffside, people can enjoy a panoramic view of all of Hainan.

The island is also one of the coastal areas where natural resources are best conserved. Clear and transparent seawater makes it a natural fishery zone and excellent for undersea sightseeing.

Tianyahaijiao

Tianyahaijiao means "the end of sky and the corner of the sea" and is a scenic spot located alongSanya's western seaside. The overall geographic layout includes a land area of 10. 4 square kilometers and a sea area of 6 square kilometers.

The beautiful natural scenes and stone carvings are unique and have drawn fame to the area.

The green water and blue sky blend together to form one hue, and joined with magical mist, rolling waves, sail boats, dancing coconut trees, and stone forests form a beautiful poetic picture. The huge rocks on the beach, carved Chinese characters of Tianya (the edge of the sky), Haijiao (the corner of the sea), Nantian Yizhu (a pillar stands up in the southern sky), and Haipan Nantian (the sea judges the southern sky) were respectively engraved and have become unique scenic spots in Hainan.

Beaches, fishing platforms, and pleasure-boat docks provide interesting activities for tourists, and mountain tours are another attractive route for its Dianhuo Tai (Torch-lit Tower of the 11th Asian Games), Wanghai Ge (Seaview Pavilion), Huaisu Ting (Pavilion for Memory of Dr. Su Dongpo), and the winding paths up to the mountains.

However, in ancient China during the feudal dynastic period, the Tianyahaijiao was a place especially for exiled criminals, and few of them succeeded in returning to their homes.
