A long time ago, a young hunter pursued a deer and brought it to bay on a cliff above the sea. When he aimed his arrow at his quarry, the deer turned her head toward him and suddenly transformed into a beautiful maiden. Dropping his bow, the startled hunter immediately fell in love with the doe-eyed beauty. This is the legend of Luhuitou, as told by the Li people.

Today, at the gate of Luhuitou Park, you can take a photo with the statue that commemorates that magical moment. To add to the magic, a small herd of Hainan deer live in the park.

Luhuitou is located in a craggy peninsula. The local fishing village provides the freshest seafood in the area.
