Go 40 kilometers eastward out of Sanya City, take a hovercraft from Haitang Bay Beach in Linwang Town, and float on the sea for 15 minutes. We arrived at Wuzhizhou Island 3 kilometers away.
Wuzhizhou Island was originally named Guqizhou Island or Niuqizhou Island. The origin of the name is related to a legend. The Sanya River is called Tengqiao River. Due to the slash-and-burn cultivation of the mountain people in the upper reaches, the vegetation has been destroyed. Whenever there is a flash flood, the soil from the mountains flows along the river into the sea, dirtying the sea water. The Dragon King reported to the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor used his divine sword to cut off a corner of Qiongnan Ridge, 7 kilometers away from here, and ordered two sacred oxen to drag it to block the mouth of the Tengqiao River. Unexpectedly, someone discovered him on the way and shouted, "It's a wonder that a sacred cow is dragging a mountain." Because the secret was revealed, the sacred cow could no longer drag it, the mountains turned into islands, and the sacred cow turned into two big rocks. Because of this strange thing, the island got the names "Guqizhou" and "Niuqizhou", and the two big rocks were called sister rocks. It was named Yuzhizhou because the relevant departments of Sanya City visited the island and thought it resembled the shape of a marine shelled animal called "centipede" by local fishermen, so they renamed it accordingly. The island covers an area of ??1.8 square kilometers and is one of the few small islands around Hainan Island with fresh water resources and good vegetation. This was originally a military location, with troops stationed there for more than 30 years. Therefore, the island's environment and the surrounding coral reefs on the seabed are perfectly protected. Undersea coral reefs of various colors make the sea water appear in various colors of light blue, azure, and dark blue, with very clear levels. The sand on the bottom of the sea is fine and white, the sea water is absolutely pollution-free, and there are many kinds of tropical fish. It is the best diving area in Sanya.
Yuzhizhou Island is like a piece of dark green floating on the blue sea. There are white beaches and lush lawns here. Seabirds are roaming for food and are not afraid of people. There are tall trees and lush shrubs on the island. There are large areas of coconut groves on the gentle beaches in the west of the island, presenting a typical tropical island scenery. At present, one-third of the island has been developed, with various tourist resort facilities. Visitors can sunbathe and sea bath on the island, and can also participate in various marine activities and beach sports such as diving, motorboating, and sea fishing. On this quiet island, birds are chirping, mountain flowers are blooming, and various houses are hidden among the trees. The swings in the coconut grove and the colorful parasols on the beach are pleasing to the eye and refreshing. During the day, you can go to the beach to pick up sea shells and coral stones; at night, you can go to the beach to catch hermit crabs, which is really fun.
By the way, the only historic site on Yuzhizhou Island is a small Mazu Temple.
Although the temple is small, it has its own uniqueness. According to legend, a Taoist priest named Wu Huacun traveled all over the islands in search of a place for alchemy and self-cultivation. Finally, he fell in love with the feng shui of Yuzhizhou Island, which is called a fairyland on the sea and a paradise. He wanted to occupy this island and live there. This matter was learned by the governor of Yazhou at the time. He also came to the island and saw the beautiful scenery and feng shui of the island. He believed that this treasure land should not be used by individuals but should benefit everyone. Therefore, Zhizhou stopped Wu Taoist's behavior and raised funds to build a nunnery on the island in 1898, named "Haihan Sanguan" to worship Cang Ling, the creator of Chinese characters, which is rare in China. After the fall of the Qing government, the nunnery was left unattended and the fishermen did not know what god they worshiped, so they overthrew and rebuilt Mazu, the protector of navigation.

Mazu Temple
During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Huacun, a wandering Taoist from Hainan Province, traveled throughout the Hainan Islands in search of places for alchemy and self-cultivation. , finally fell in love with the Feng Shui of Wuzhizhou Island, and wanted to live in a cottage here to practice elixirs and cultivate oneself. This matter was learned by Zhong Yuandi, the prefect of Yazhou at the time, and he immediately came to Wuzhizhou Island. After seeing such a beautiful island and excellent Feng Shui, he believed that this treasure land should not be used by individuals, but should benefit the people. civil. So he stopped Wu Taoist's behavior, and raised funds from the state government to build a nunnery on the island, named "Haihan Sanguan", which was dedicated to Cangjie, the creator of Chinese square Chinese characters. This is very rare in China. It should be inscribed in the cultural history of Hainan. The nunnery was built in 1893 AD, which has a history of more than 100 years. After the fall of the Qing government, the nunnery was left unattended and the fishermen did not know what god they were worshiping, so they tore down the statues and worshiped their own god of navigation and protection, Mazu. The original temple had long since collapsed and was rebuilt by the developers of the island in 1993.
Lover's Bridge
Lover's Bridge was originally an iron cable bridge and was the lookout point at sea for the troops defending the island. Walking on the rickety chain bridge requires some courage and cleverness. Some girls want to go to the lookout point to experience the bridge, but are afraid of falling into the sea water. They hold on to their friends' hands tightly when crossing the bridge. Therefore, the bridge is also nicknamed the "Lover's Bridge". Later, for the safety of guests, the island transformed the original cable bridge into the current wooden plank bridge.
Guanri Rock
Guanri Rock is located on the southeast cliff of Wuzhizhou Island. Standing on the rock facing the sea and facing the wind, you can overlook the whole island and have a panoramic view of the vast South China Sea. Under the cliff, there are jagged rocks. When the weather is calm, you can take a speedboat tour around the island. You will see all kinds of strange stone scenery. The Sun View Rock is like a natural stone Buddha, facing the sea, and practicing day and night. Guanri Rock is also like a giant turtle slowly crawling towards the sea, hoping to return to its hometown, so it is also called the golden turtle exploring the sea. The first ray of dawn of the new century rises from here, and the crimson sun slowly rises from the sea, forming an excellent sun-viewing point at sea. Whenever the wind blows, the waves hit the rocks, and the peaks in this area are as high as ten meters. After the wave crest, there is a sheet of snow-white waves on the sea, which is called "rolling up thousands of piles of snow".
Golden Turtle Exploring the Sea
Under the Guanri Rock in the southeast of Wuzhizhou Island, there is a naturally formed boulder like a huge turtle, with its head and armor clearly identifiable, which is particularly worth it. What is commendable is that there is a long strip of rock exposed from the sea on the left front of the whole boulder. When the sea water hits, it looks like a turtle paddling with its feet. The dynamic is lifelike, as if a huge turtle wants to return to his hometown. It is slowly crawling towards the sea, so it is called "the golden turtle exploring the sea".
Wuzhizhou Island Lover’s Island
Lover’s Island is two big rocks that have experienced the ups and downs of the tide for thousands of years but still stand and look at each other quietly. Legend has it that people named it in ancient times to commemorate a pair of infatuated lovers who were turned into stone by an angry Dragon King because of their love. Now it has become a major attraction on Wuzhizhou Island, a good place for young men and women to whisper and listen to the waves.

The father and son fell into the water. After several days of struggle, they were hungry and thirsty. They drifted to the beach of Wuzhizhou Island. Suddenly they saw a small beach not far from the beach. Puddle, three people were saved. Later, he settled on the island and dug a well in the puddle and named it "Well of Life" for the use of fishermen who went fishing in the past. It has been used to this day.
