Sightseeing
Nanshan incorporates a tropical marine seascape, ancient Chinese culture, historical heritage and folklores, integrating eco-tourist resources, recreational activities and environmental preservation to transform the area into an internationally famous tourism district.
With a planned area of 50 square kilometres, Nanshan’s tourism district is comprised of three parks, one temple, a valley and a bay – Kwan-yin Cultural Park, Mercy Park, Auspiciousness Park, Nanshan Temple, Longevity Valley and Nanshan Bay.
A newly minted national treasure is the 108 meter high, sea-based Kwan-yin Statue standing at the edge of the South China Sea. Also known as “Gold and Jade Kwan-yin”, “No.1 Dragon in Stone in the World” by the locals, it was consecrated on April 24, 2005. A Hawaii tree house, Sanskrit Bell Garden, Nanshan Recreational Club and Nanshan vegetarian cuisine are other highlights to visit or experience.
