We study the dynamics of isotropic and homogeneous universes in the generalized Horava-Lifshitz gravity, and classify all possible evolutions of vacuum spacetime. In the case without the detailed balance condition, we find a variety of phase structures of vacuum spacetimes depending on the coupling constants as well as the spatial curvature K and a cosmological constant {Lambda}. A bounce universe solution is obtained for {Lambda}>0, K={+-}1 or {Lambda}=0, K=-1, while an oscillation spacetime is found for {Lambda}{>=}0, K=1, or {Lambda}<0, K={+-}1. We also propose a quantum tunneling scenario from an oscillating spacetime to an inflationary universe, resulting in a macroscopic cyclic universe.
