Go to Haikou and leave half a day for this 800-year-old volcanic ancient village!

Haikou🏝️ is the first stop for many people arriving on Hainan Island, and most people use it as a transfer point. Some also visit the Haida Night Market and the Arcade Old Street to check in. However, few people know about the 800-year-old ancient village of Sanqing Village, hidden ten kilometers away from Haikou. · ❤️Highlights: ⭐Diao Lou and Archway: At the entrance of the village, there are the very characteristic Diao Lou (fortified tower) and archway. The stone tower is engraved with 'Anhua Tower' on the front, and the door plaque is inscribed with 'Haoxian Gate'. The village gate was built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, with a long history and a unique architectural style, which is the landmark of Sanqing Village. ⭐Volcanic Stone Architecture: Most of the houses in the village are abandoned, with only a few elderly people still living inside. The buildings, daily life utensils, and labor tools here are all made of volcanic stone, and each stone is a witness to the volcanic eruption thousands of years ago. ⭐Natural Scenery: There are particularly many and lush Dripping Guanyin plants, much taller than a person's height, and various tropical plants grow in the crevices of the stones. The unique Hainan yellow rosewood can also be seen everywhere in the village. Apart from the stone ancient houses and tourists, the village is quiet and simple, with free-range chickens and black goats roaming around. ⭐Cultural Heritage: The history of Sanqing Village can be traced back to the Song Dynasty about 800 years ago. The entire village is built on a natural volcanic lava flow plateau. There are stone gate houses, natural lava flow-formed alleys, stone fences, volcanic rock mills, and more than a hundred volcanic residences, with profound cultural heritage. . 📸Photo Tips: ☘️The light is very suitable for photography one hour before sunset, and you can capture beautiful light and shadow effects at this time. ☘️The Diao Lou-style building 'Anhua Tower', ancient worship pavilions, stone paths, and volcanic stone ancient houses built with volcanic stones are all very photogenic spots, where you can take pictures of distinctive buildings and natural scenery. ☘️You can interact with the local residents or animals to take some lively and interesting photos. · 🚗Transportation Guide: ▪️The location is remote, so it is recommended to drive there following the navigation. 🔹It is just over 10 kilometers from downtown Haikou, and it takes about half an hour to drive there. · 💕Notice: ❗️There are no public toilets in the village, so please be prepared in advance. ❗️Respect the local culture and customs, and keep the environment clean.
