Luhuitou
(Deer's Looking Back Hill)
 Louhuitou
Hill lies 5 kilometers south of Sanya city,
on the side of Sanya Bay, with a deer-shaped
peak extending to the sea. The hill leans
against the sea in its three sides and is
green all over the year. It is said that
once upon a time, a young hunter of the
Li nationality from Wuzhishan range (Five
Fingers Mountain Range), after tramping
over several hills and dales, chased a deer
to the cliff by the seaside. The deer looked
back and became a beautiful young girl of
the Li nationality. Then they got married
and lived a life of "men plough the
fields and women weave" there. For
multiplying generation by generation, a
village of the Li nationality came into
being. Since that time, the place has got
its name of Louhuitou Byland. Now, Louhuitou
Hill serves as a park, with a 12-meter-
high deer statue stands on its top to reappear
the myth. Occupying the top of the hill,
you can easily have a bird's eye viewing
of the beautiful landscape of Sanya city,
especially at night.
