History

Sanya is a beautiful coastal city and it has a long history and lots of places of interest.The source of Sanya’s name is said that:Sanya，or verbally in Chinese” Sanya “，means the land is split by three rivers（namely Daposhui and Linchunshui flock to become Sanya River that flows to the sea）into three pieces，which looks exactly like three branches.However，in ancient times Sanyawas called Yazhou，and just because it was inaccessible and wild，the city and surrounding areas were seen as a dangerous place to travel to.Early in the Qin Dynasty banished officials were exiled to Sanya and in the Tang，Song and Yuan Dynasties alone，more than 50 officials were exiled here，including some outstanding and high-ranking ones.They were sent thousands of miles away from civilization and could never return.Thus Yazhou was known as”The Gate of Hell”.However the unique nature landscape，rich local products and the simple Sanya lifestyle changed the psychology of some people.
