End of the Earth



On Friday it sprinkled most of the day so it was a perfect day to climb on the double decker bus that stopped infront of our hotel and we toured a large part of Sanya for 10 yuan. (about $1.50) Only disadvantage to sitting on top was every so often if I wasn’t paying attention palm leaves would hit me in the face. We got off at the “End of the Earth” There are two rocks that each have two characters carved into them. One has “Tian Ya” means edge of the sky and the other one has the characters “Hai Jiao” meaning end of the sea. Together they mean “End of the Earth”. The picture of the rock is on the two Yuan bill and millions of Chinese come here to have their photo taken infront of the rocks. We also joined the crowd and documented our trip.
