At Sanya's Ship Model Museum, scale replicas of historic ships map centuries of maritime tradition from both domestic waters and overseas voyages. Visitors step into a world where every plank and mast tells a story of seafarers who charted new horizons.
Just a short stroll from the museum, the city's marinas buzz with modern yacht life. This year, supported by the Hainan Free Trade Port's forward-looking policies, sleek vessels from around the globe glide into Sanya's berths, and charter companies, design studios, and service providers have multiplied.
The surge in yacht traffic has spurred new businesses – from charter operations to luxury marina facilities – creating a dynamic blend of seaside leisure and growth opportunities for entrepreneurs and young professionals.
Travelers and digital nomads find Sanya's marina scene a playground for immersive experiences. After wandering through maritime exhibits, they can embark on sunset sails, join community regattas, or simply soak up the coastal lifestyle at waterfront cafes.
By weaving together rich maritime heritage and contemporary marina innovation, Sanya is charting a course where history and modernity sail forward in harmony.
