So far, there has been no answer in terms of historical significance. The ancient Sanya that people talk about is actually located in present-day Sanya. During the Ming Dynasty, Sanya was able to form a large residential area, develop into a market, and then become the social center of the entire eastern wing of Yazhou, mainly relying on three pillars. The ancient post road has positioned the ancient Sanya, and the location of Bitan Port has surfaced. The civilization at the mouth of the Sanya River has evolved with hydrology, forming two large blocks located 20 miles apart, the upper and lower. The Nirvana of Ancient Sanya lies in a lush green field, unknown to anyone today.
