Nanshan, part 2

At first glance, Nanshan is kind of like a buddhist theme park, and I must admit, it felt a little tacky. The further we went into the park though, the less tacky it felt. Watching people pray and burn incense at the many altars in the park, was a very strange, but moving experience. The incense is free, so it costs nothing to join in and be a part of the experience. During the ten days I spent at Sanya, Nanshan was by far the most memorable, and my favourite experience of the visit.
