Sun Island evolved from the transliteration of Manchu Mandarin handmaid. Manchu has three names for handmaid color: one is common handmaid flower called "sea flower", the other is black handmaid flower called "Falu", and the other is round handmaid flower called "Taiyi'an", which is very similar to "sun", that is, "sun" of Sun Island means "handmaid fish". It is said that the hills inside the island are all clean fine sand, especially hot in the sunshine, so it is called the Sun Island.

In 1964, the Sun Island Scenic Spot was officially established. In 1989, it was named Heilongjiang Provincial Scenic Spot. In 2002, it was assessed as China National AAAA Scenic Spot by China National Tourism Administration. From 2003 to 2005, the Harbin Municipal Committee and the Municipal Government invested 550 million yuan to carry out large-scale comprehensive renovation and transformation of the Sun Island, aiming at "rebuilding the tourism brand of the Sun Island and building an ecological city". Their functional orientation was transformed from a former resort area to a national scenic spot. The third phase of the reconstruction project is located in the western part of Sun Island, with a total planned area of about 400,000 square meters. The third phase of the reconstruction project highlights the function of "green lung". Through island building, greening and animal protection, the ecological effect of the Sun Island is initially shown.
