History of scenic spots

There is also an interesting story about the place name "Luhuitou": a long time ago, a cruel cave owner wanted to take a pair of valuable antlers and forced a Hei, a young Li nationality, to fight deer on the mountain. Once when ah Hei was hunting in the mountains, he saw a beautiful fawn being chased by a spotted leopard. Ah Hei shot the spotted leopard to death with an arrow, and then pursued the fawn for nine days and nine nights. He climbed over ninety-nine mountains and chased the fawn to the coral cliff in the south of Sanya Bay. The fawn faced the vast South China Sea and had no way to go. At this time, the young hunter was about to shoot with an arrow. Suddenly, the deer turned back and looked at him affectionately. A beautiful girl came to him, so they married. Lu girl invited a group of Lu brothers and defeated the cave master. They settled down on the stone cliff, where men worked and women weaved. After their descendants multiplied, they built the coral cliff into a beautiful Li manor. From then on, this mountain is called "Luhuitou mountain", this village is called "Luhuitou village", and this peninsula is called "Luhuitou Peninsula".

Now a beautiful Peak Park has been built on the top of Luhuitou mountain. According to the beautiful legend, a giant statue with a height of 12 meters, a length of 9 meters and a width of 4.9 meters has been carved on the mountain. Sanya is also known as "Lucheng".

Luhuitou is actually a small hill stretching to the South China Sea, called Luhuitou ridge, which is about 270 meters high. It used to be an isolated island in the sea. Later, due to the continuous uplift of the earth's crust and the accumulation of a large number of coral fragments, it gradually became Island connected sand, and connected with the nanbianling and Huoling as a whole. Luhuitou mountain has been turned into a park. There is a ring road to the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain stands a statue that reproduces the myth of Luhuitou, up to 12 meters high. On the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Sanya. When you come here at night, you feel more like entering Guanghan palace.

"Love at first sight" here can express the love for the lover, the love for the motherland and the beautiful landscape of Sanya. There is a beautiful and moving love legend of Li people in Hainan. It is said that in ancient times, there was a young Li Hunter wearing a red scarf and holding a bow and arrow chasing a Polu deer from Wuzhishan in the hinterland of Hainan Island to the South China Sea. At the top of the mountain and under the cliff is the vast sea. Polu has no way to go. The young hunter is bowing and setting up an arrow. Suddenly, the fire flashes and the smoke rises. Polu turns around and becomes a beautiful girl of Li nationality. They fall in love and become a loving couple. This mountain, known as "Luhuitou", has also become a love mountain for young men and women. After more than 10 years of cultural excavation and accumulation, Luhuitou culture has been a new interpretation. What is Luhuitou? She is one of the three major love legends of ethnic minorities in China, comparable with Ashima in Yunnan and Sanjie Liu in Guangxi. She is the place where Xianlu turns back. This turning back of Xianlu reflects human nature and yearning for life. She is a classic carrier of love culture in China, and also the source of Lizu's ethnic culture and Hainan's Li culture. According to the beautiful love legend, the park has built some scenic spots, such as "love" cliff stone carving, "Eternal Knot" Haishishanmeng platform, "lianxinsuo", "husband and wife tree", "Xianlu tree", "haikubulangshi", "Hongniang" and "Yuelao". It focuses on creating an atmosphere of love in every flower, tree, grass and stone, so as to show that all the mountains are full of love and all the eyes are full of love The theme of love culture is moving. Every year, the international wedding festival at the ends of the earth is a place where lovers from home and abroad will make vows of love, unite as one, and pray for a good marriage for a hundred years. Red rope tree under the tall banyan trees in many Li villages, people will see houses made of several big stones, which is the earth temple that Li people often worship. In the temple, there is neither a shrine nor a censer, only a stone shaped like a male genitalia, which is called "Shiqi" (Shizu) by the Li family. Li people think that banyan is spiritual, she is a kind friend of mankind. Big leaf banyan is a rain fairy, and the more it is planted, the more abundant the water in this area is and the better the weather is; small leaf banyan is considered to be the shade God of the village, which can protect the prosperity, high yield and good luck of the whole village. If a banyan tree dies in a village, Li people believe that it is a sign that a respected old man in the village is about to die, so cutting down banyan trees growing in the village is strictly prohibited. It can be believed that Li people's worship of shiqie and banyan belongs to the category of primitive culture. It comes from the worship of ancestors and is closely related to the totem of childbearing. It can bring people peace and happiness, and satisfy people's long cherished wish to eliminate disasters. This is the origin of folk peace and auspicious tree. The auspicious tree on Luhuitou mountain is more mysterious because of the legend of Li people.

Live forever

At the West foot of Luhuitou mountain, there is a huge stone, one in two. Half of them stand on the top of the mountain, half of them lie flat at their feet and stretch out to the sea, which is called companion stone by local people. It is said that a woman was waiting for her hunting lover to stay at the top of the mountain, looking into the distance and making a standing stone for a long time. After the lover came back, he heard the voice of the people in the village and ran to the top of the mountain. He knelt beside the girl's stone and swore to death. Then he turned into a flat stone, hoping that when he was tired, he could rest on his body for company.
