To hug the Buddha's feet, you need to take the elevator to the 4th floor and then climb 3 flights of stairs to reach the top, first circle around the Buddha's feet before hugging them.
No need to bring your own incense, there is free incense available at every worship spot in the park.
When offering incense, donate incense money as you wish, so it counts as your contribution (can be small amounts like one or five yuan).
Do not blow out the incense with your mouth, gently fan it out with your hand, and offer incense with your left hand.
When entering the hall, enter from the left and exit from the right, do not step on the threshold.
When taking a photo with a Buddha statue, do not make a peace sign ✌️ as it will cut off your blessings, you can put your hands together and close your eyes lightly.

No photography is allowed inside the Circular Hall, always remember.

I really feel what is called tropical style when I come to Sanya! I really sweat at every turn! That's amazing! Sanya's scenic spots are more scattered, it is recommended to travel by car! Especially in the hot summer, self-driving tours are very important! Because my friend wanted to see Guanyin in the South China Sea, we specially drove to the scenic spot. It is recommended to pay 30 yuan more to take the tour bus! Otherwise, if you walk, people will be sunburned! Looking at the endless South China Sea, the blue sea and blue sky, your emotions will be calmed! Temple of Wealth, 33 Guanyin Temple... The soul can be sublimated!
The environment is very comfortable, that is, there are too many people, it is recommended to buy a sightseeing car, it is very comfortable to circle around. The reputation of Guanyin in the South China Sea is very big, come here, you can come and worship, the scenic spot is also very big! ! !
