Brief History

Wuzhizhou Island

1. Introduction

Wuzhizhou Island is located within Haitang Bay in the northern part of Sanya City, Hainan Province. It faces Nanwan Monkey Island to the north and is adjacent to Yalong Bay, renowned as the "Number One Bay under Heaven," to the south. The island is 2.7 kilometers from the coastline, covers an area of 1.48 square kilometers, and has an irregular butterfly shape, stretching 1400 meters from east to west and 1100 meters from north to south. It is 30 kilometers from downtown Sanya and 38 kilometers from Phoenix Airport, situated conveniently close to the Haikou-Sanya Expressway, offering an excellent location and easy transportation access. Wuzhizhou Island is one of the few islands around Hainan with freshwater resources and rich vegetation, boasting over two thousand diverse plant species.

Located in the tropics, Wuzhizhou Island experiences a tropical maritime climate characterized by long sunshine hours, high average temperatures, minimal annual temperature variation, and indistinct seasons. The island features diverse landforms, including cliffs, steep rock faces, beaches, sand spits, sea-eroded cliffs, and submarine rocky platforms. Due to its remote location, the island was largely uninhabited in ancient times. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, a nunnery named "Haishang Hansan Guan" was built here to worship Cangjie. After the decline of the Qing Dynasty, the nunnery gradually fell into disrepair and was later converted by local fishermen into a Mazu Temple.

Wuzhizhou Island is home to numerous scenic spots such as Lovers' Bridge, Golden Turtle Exploring the Sea, Sunrise Rock, and Seaview Promenade. It also offers over 30 land and sea sports activities, including diving, jet skiing, and wind tunnels, creating a comprehensive three-dimensional (land, sea, and air) marine entertainment experience. Furthermore, located 500 to 1000 meters offshore, China's first tropical marine ranch has been established, fostering a thriving marine ecosystem with native coral colonies, sea anemones, sea cucumbers, large groupers, parrotfish, moray eels, and various other marine life.

In 2013, director Feng Xiaogang filmed scenes for his annual New Year comedy film "Personal Tailor" on Wuzhizhou Island.

2. Geographical Environment

Wuzhizhou Island is conveniently located near the Hainan East Line Expressway, offering excellent accessibility. Visitors can reach the island via "Shuishang Piao," China's largest hovercraft capable of carrying 70 passengers. The island enjoys a tropical maritime climate with mild and pleasant weather year-round, making it an ideal destination for vacationing, leisure, escaping the cold, winter swimming, and entertainment. The eastern and southern parts feature the island's highest peak at 79.9 meters above sea level, with sheer cliffs and rugged rocks below where crashing waves create snowy sprays. The terrain gradually flattens towards the west and north, revealing a crescent-shaped beach with fine, white sand.

The coastal rocks are jagged and steep, plunging directly into the sea, creating a spectacular sight with waves crashing against the shore. The central area consists of undulating hills, forests, and grasslands with lush greenery. The northern shore boasts calm waves and a beach of pure white, fine sand, resembling a naturally formed jade belt.

3. Main Attractions

3.1 Wuzhizhou Island Teahouse

During the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty, a wandering Taoist priest named Wu Huacun traveled throughout the islands of Hainan seeking a place for alchemy and self-cultivation. He was ultimately captivated by the feng shui of Wuzhizhou Island and wished to build a hut and settle there. Upon learning of this, Zhong Yuandi, the then-prefect of Yazhou, visited the island. Struck by its beauty and exceptional feng shui, he believed such a treasure should benefit the public rather than an individual. He halted Wu's plans, and the prefecture raised funds to build a nunnery on the island named "Haishang Hansan Guan," dedicated to Cangjie, the legendary creator of Chinese characters—a rare dedication that marks a significant chapter in Hainan's cultural history. The nunnery was built in 1893, over a century ago. Today, this red building exudes historical charm and has become a favored spot for tea appreciation.

3.2 Lovers' Bridge

Lovers' Bridge, a key filming location for the New Year film "Personal Tailor," was originally a chain-link bridge serving as a maritime lookout post for the island garrison. Crossing the swaying bridge required courage and agility. Some young women, eager to experience the lookout point but afraid of falling into the sea, would tightly hold their friends' hands while crossing, leading to the bridge's playful nickname, "Lovers' Bridge." Later, for visitor safety, the original chain-link bridge was replaced with the current wooden plank bridge. It remains a highly sought-after spot for couples.

As one of the major outdoor filming locations for "Personal Tailor," Wuzhizhou Island won praise from the film crew and stars for its unique tropical scenery and charming pure island resort ambiance. It was specifically chosen by Director Feng as an "important filming site." The freshwater pool beside the island's Pirate Bar is a turquoise oasis nestled between the blue sky and coconut groves. The white, bird's nest-like structure at the pool's edge, set against bougainvillea, blue sky, the clear pool, and swaying coconut shadows, creates an exceptionally serene and tranquil atmosphere. The "Dream Fulfillment Company Office" within the Wuzhizhou Island scenic area has become a dream destination for countless tourists, and "Wuzhizhou Island Personal Tailor" has become synonymous with Hainan's tourism itineraries and products.

Sunrise Rock is located on the southeastern cliffs of Wuzhizhou Island. Standing on the rock overlooking the sea, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire island and the vast South China Sea. Below the cliffs lie jagged and bizarre rocks. During calm seas, a speedboat tour around the island reveals these strange rock formations. Sunrise Rock itself resembles a giant natural stone Buddha facing the sea, practicing day and night. The dawn of the new century rises from here, with the crimson sun slowly ascending from the sea, creating a stunning seascape for sunrise viewing. Overnight guests wishing to see the sunrise can inquire about the exact time at the hotel front desk.

3.5 Golden Turtle Exploring the Sea

Below Sunrise Rock on the southeastern part of Wuzhizhou Island lies a naturally formed giant rock resembling a massive sea turtle, with its head and shell clearly discernible. Particularly noteworthy is a long, strip-like rock protruding from the sea in front of the left side of the main boulder. When waves crash against it, it looks as if the turtle is paddling with its flippers, creating a vivid, dynamic scene. It appears as if a giant turtle, longing to return to its homeland, is slowly crawling towards the ocean, hence the name "Golden Turtle Exploring the Sea."

3.6 Lovers' Island

Lovers' Island refers to two large rocks that have withstood centuries of tides yet still stand tall, silently facing each other.

The slightly salty sea breeze, azure sky, gradient-colored seawater, and uniquely shaped natural reefs combine to form a dream wedding photography location. On the actual filming sites of "Personal Tailor" and the endless stretches of pristine white sand, newlyweds embrace affectionately or run joyfully. On Wuzhizhou Island, couples in various wedding attire freely display their happiness and sweetness for the camera.

5. Historical Background

The earliest records of Wuzhizhou Island date back to the Qing Dynasty. During the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty, a wandering Taoist named Wu Huacun traveled across the islands of Hainan in search of a place for alchemy and self-cultivation. Upon seeing the picturesque scenery and majestic landscape of Wuzhizhou Island, he decided to settle there for alchemy and self-cultivation. This came to the attention of the then-prefect of Yazhou, Zhong Yuandi, who went to inspect the island. Impressed by its beauty and favorable Feng Shui, he believed such a treasure should not be privately owned but should benefit the people. He halted Wu’s plans, and the local government funded the construction of a temple on the island named "Sea View of the Three Realms." It was dedicated to Cangjie, the legendary creator of Chinese characters—a rare practice in China, leaving a significant mark in Hainan’s cultural history.

The temple was built in 1893, over 100 years ago.

After liberation, the island was requisitioned by the People’s Liberation Army as a key strategic defense area. Under conventional warfare conditions, its strategic location was crucial, serving as a frontline defense position. The Korean War in the 1950s, military confrontations with the Taiwanese Kuomintang government in the 1960s, and the Vietnam War in the early 1970s kept the island shrouded in a wartime atmosphere.

According to recollections from military personnel at the time, high-powered telescopes on the mountaintop could even observe activities on U.S. Seventh Fleet vessels in international waters. Over the 30 years following liberation, the military constructed extensive underground defense facilities on the island, totaling 4 kilometers in length.

By the 1990s, peace and development became global themes, and with advancements in modern warfare technology, the island lost its strategic significance. The military subsequently withdrew, opening a new chapter for Wuzhizhou Island as a vacation and leisure destination.

In October 2016, it was rated as a National AAAAA Tourist Attraction.
