About 25 kilometers from central Sanya, this long-running marine park is one of Hainan's classic family attractions, with aquariums and exhibits featuring fish and other sea life.
Updated for 2026: Sanya's family attractions continue to evolve, so check current opening hours, ticket options, and animal-show schedules before you go.
Live animal shows have long been a big part of the visit, with dolphins, sea lions, and other resident animals appearing in scheduled performances. Expect a more entertainment-focused attraction than a quiet, museum-style aquarium.
The park is not limited to marine life. There is also a bird section with species from South China, and parrots are often part of the performance program.
Around the grounds, you may also come across large turtles and other souvenir-photo setups. Overall, it is best visited as a casual, family-oriented stop rather than a full-day destination.
