Checked in at Wenbi Peak in Ding'an, which is more interesting than expected. 📍Magpie Bridge Meeting: There is a large magpie bridge scene in the scenic area, with a round arch bridge. Lovers climb up the steps from both ends of the bridge, creating a scene comparable to the legendary meeting of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl on the Magpie Bridge. Great for photos, the atmosphere of the Sweet Love Cultural Park is fully enhanced. 📍Yuanchendian (Tiantan): The exterior mimics the circular architectural style of the Temple of Heaven, imposing and magnificent. Outside the hall are exquisite carvings of the Yin-Yang Bagua plate and the twelve zodiac animals vividly depicted. This hall enshrines the Sixty Jiazi gods; you can check which Tai Sui general was on duty the year you were born, which is quite interesting. 📍Yuelaodian: Said to be the largest Yuelao (God of Marriage) Hall in the country, wishes made here are very effective. Many people were seen tying love locks and hanging wish plaques. 📍Yuchan Pavilion: The highest point in the scenic area, offering a panoramic view of Ding'an. It enshrines Bai Yuchan, the fifth patriarch of the Southern Taoist sect. The overall style is Southern Song Dynasty architecture, built around the mountain, with an antique charm. Both the Magpie Bridge and Tiantan spots are great for photography, with a strong Taoist cultural atmosphere. Suitable for couples to walk the Magpie Bridge or for families to come for blessings. Half a day is enough to visit the core attractions.

In April, Hainan's mountains are shaded with dense trees, gentle breezes caress your face, and the coolness is refreshing—it's the perfect season for hiking. Wenbi Peak in Ding'an has a low elevation and gentle stone steps, allowing you to reach the summit in half an hour. Early morning climbs offer views of the dawn light spreading over the Pangu Creation relics and the flying eaves and dougong brackets of Yuchan Palace, showcasing the beauty of Southern Song Dynasty architecture. From the top, you can overlook vast fields, making it ideal for a relaxed hike and a peaceful cultural experience. Baishiling in Qionghai is known as the "Wonder of Qiongya," with rugged giant rocks. You can take a cable car halfway up and then climb over 1,300 steps to the summit. The "Affinity Stone" offers a distant view of the Wanquan River flowing into the sea, with morning mist swirling like an ink painting; the via ferrata wall-climbing experience is thrilling. The main peak of Jianfengling in Ledong stands at 1,412 meters, featuring a high mountain lake reflecting the tropical rainforest. In April, ferns drip with water and new leaves unfold, and the rainforest trail feels 8°C cooler. The classic night climb to watch the sunrise starts at 4:30 AM, with rolling seas of clouds and glowing dawn light igniting the forest; descending offers views of the "Sky Garden" strangler figs. Wuzhishan in Wuzhishan City is known as the "Roof of Hainan," with its second peak at 1,867 meters. The primeval rainforest covers the sky, birds sing in the secluded valleys, and streams are cool. The "Devil's Ladder" is a challenging climb. From the first peak, you see jagged "fingers," and crossing the second peak places you above the clouds, offering panoramic mountain views. Dongfang's Exianling is a hidden gem where karst landforms meet tropical rainforest. Mountain flowers still bloom, and the hiking trail is original and steep, often requiring hands and feet to climb. Emerging from the forest reveals a small Guilin-style peak forest; Exianling resembles a reclining Buddha. At dusk, the peak forest is gilded, limestone glows, and occasional encounters with Li ethnic mountain songs add a wild poetic charm. Come to Hainan, pick a mountain to start your journey—cool mountain breezes, vast views, and a clear mind await to begin your unique adventure!

When you come to Hainan, don’t just focus on the seaside! Ding'an hides a "Green Giant" — the King of Asian Banyan Trees, and it’s truly breathtaking! This centuries-old banyan tree covers more than 8 acres, with dense aerial roots penetrating the soil, forming a magical forest from a single tree. Looking up, you see a lush canopy that blocks out the sky; looking down, you find twisted old roots. Sunlight filters through the leaves, like stepping into a real-life version of the Emerald City. Strolling slowly under the banyan tree, the breeze carries the scent of grass and trees, making every breath feel lighter. Find a stone bench to sit on, or spread out a picnic mat and chat with friends — it’s incredibly relaxing. Every photo you take looks like a forest masterpiece, no filters needed! 📍Address: Houling Village, Hanlin Town, Ding'an County, Hainan Province 🚗 Transportation: Recommended to drive, about 1.5 hours from Haikou 💡Tips: · Wear light-colored clothes to stand out against the greenery; · Bring mosquito repellent, as there are quite a few bugs in the forest; · Bring a picnic blanket — it’s super comfortable to relax under the tree. Coming here is not just about seeing the tree, but about immersing yourself in nature and finding your most relaxed state.

People always say if you go to Hainan, just go to Sanya, but this time I decided to do the opposite and went to the "Heart of Hainan," Wuzhishan. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a delightful surprise! 3 days and 2 nights cost less than 2000 per person, quieter and more comfortable than Sanya, and I genuinely want to recommend it to everyone! On the first day, as soon as I arrived in Wuzhishan, I headed straight to Shuiman Village. The place I stayed at, "Yueshanju," was amazing! The glass viewing room opened to lush green mountains, only 250 per night, excellent value for money. In the afternoon, I went to the Tropical Rainforest National Park. Walking the 4.5 km boardwalk, I saw so many strange plants for the first time — buttress roots spread like big fans on the ground, and strangler plants wrapped around big trees. The guide said this was the "survival battle" in the rainforest, super interesting! Later, I followed the guide to find the thousand-year-old lychee tree king, with a trunk so thick it takes several people to hug it. It’s said to be over a thousand years old, and touching it felt like absorbing some "spiritual energy." At dusk, I visited the Revolutionary Base Memorial Park, listened to the guide tell stories about the Qiongya Column, and even tasted the Red Army’s well water, which was cool and very refreshing. For dinner, I ate at "Lidong Restaurant." The three-color rice had a coconut fragrance, the skin of the boiled Shuiman duck was crispy and crunchy, and half a duck was only 38 yuan. I ate until I was so full I had to lean against the wall. On the second day, I chose a more relaxed activity since I’m not an "outdoor expert." The Red Canyon rafting was incredibly thrilling! I picked the "Warrior Rafting," a 3.8 km route. When going down the drops, I got soaked and screamed all the way, the wind hitting my face felt exhilarating. Afterward, I had a mountain orchid latte at Miaomei Coffee House, the rice fragrance mixed with coffee flavor instantly revived me. In the afternoon, I went to Lidong Cultural Park and caught the Saturday brocade weaving demonstration. The Li grandma’s hands were so skillful! She twisted a single thread in her hands, and in no time, a pattern appeared. I tried to learn but ended up with tangled threads, so clumsy. For dinner, I went to "Hongyun Restaurant" in the city to eat five-legged pig. I was curious about the name before, but after eating, I realized the meat was firmer than regular pork, braised in red sauce and very appetizing. It cost 60 per person, and I ate until full. On the last day, I got up early to visit Yahu Terraced Fields. I specially hired a car for 80 yuan round trip, which was very cost-effective. The terraced fields in the early morning were covered in mist. Flying a drone up there, the layers of terraces wrapped in white fog looked like a fairyland! I had lunch at a Li village farmhouse, which was also amazing. The pumpkin rice was sticky and chewy, and the stir-fried wild vegetables were refreshing and helped cut the grease. It cost 50 per person, and every bite was full of natural flavors. In the afternoon, when buying souvenirs, I deliberately avoided the small stalls in the scenic area and went to the supermarket to pick Wuzhishan black tea and Li brocade keychains, which were 30% cheaper than in the scenic area. The money saved was enough to buy an extra milk tea! This trip to Wuzhishan really changed my impression of Hainan. There were no crowded crowds, only fresh air that felt like it could cleanse your lungs (with lots of negative oxygen ions, breathing felt smooth while walking), and the slow-paced Li and Miao ethnic customs. If you want to avoid the crowds in Sanya and quietly enjoy something different, trust me, Wuzhishan is definitely the right choice!

I. Central Line: Rainforest & Culture 1. Venture into the lush secret realm of Wuzhishan Mountain, listen to the whispers of vines in the "Sky Garden," and watch Baihualing Waterfall shatter into starlight. Every breath of air feels like fresh, minty oxygen. 2. Stroll in Hanfu through the Song-style architecture of Ding'an Wenbifeng, and personally rub a piece of agarwood, letting its ancient aroma cling to your sleeves. This is Hainan's unique Chinese romance. 3. Step into Baoting Betel Nut Valley, watch "Betel Nut · Ancient Charm" unfold under the moonlight, and dance around a bonfire with Li and Miao brothers and sisters, embedding ethnic customs into your memory. 4. Before the mist clears from Baisha Tea Garden, transform into a tea farmer and pluck the first tender buds. The fragrance of stir-frying tea, mixed with the wind from distant mountains, reveals the profound meaning of "a cup of spring tea to honor time." 5. Qiongzhong Shihan Village is hidden deep in the rainforest. At night, lie on the guesthouse terrace and gaze at the stars, with the chirping of insects and croaking of frogs as background music. It turns out tranquility can truly be heard. II. Western Line: Coast & Time 1. The stone troughs of Danzhou's Millennium Ancient Salt Field bask in the sun. Touch the salt troughs polished by time, as if holding hundreds of years of Hainan's salty freshness. 2. The sunset at Changjiang Qizi Bay dyes the sea orange-red, shells on the reefs sparkle, and the small buckets of beachcombers are filled with surprises. This is the ocean's most generous gift. 3. Ride a jet ski and chase the wind on the beaches of Chengmai. When tired, hide in the coconut groves for afternoon tea, watching the sea change from azure to pinkish-purple – perfectly romantic. 4. The lighthouse at Dongfang Yulinzhou guards the entire sea, and windmills spin in the wind. The moment the shutter clicks, the "solitude and freedom of the West Coast" are frozen into a painting. 5. The tides at Lingao Bozhong Village ebb and flow. Follow fishermen to dig for snails and catch crabs, then enjoy the freshest seafood at a seaside restaurant in the evening. This is the right way to experience island life. III. Special Experiences & Local Life 1. Encounter a rocket launch at Wenchang Qishui Bay, watching the "big guy" soar into the blue sky. In that moment, the romance of the sea and the universe collided. 2. The waves at Wanning Riyue Bay are full of youthful spirit. Even just posing with a surfboard, you'll gain a summer's worth of freedom and passion. 3. Leave footprints on the beach of Qionghai Paigang Village, follow a fishing boat for snorkeling, and watch colorful fish dart past your fingertips. This is the same joy as "The Star Chaser." 4. On an afternoon in Haikou Qilou Old Street, stroll through the Nanyang-style arcades with a bowl of Qingbuliang. The sweetness mixed with the bustling local atmosphere makes you never want to leave. 5. Sanya Wuzhizhou Island's "jellyfish sea" hides surprises. Snorkel and brush past sea turtles, realizing that there truly is a fairy tale world underwater.

| Exploring Wenbi Peak, Encountering a Poetic Journey for the Soul. Ding'an is separated from Haikou by just one river, only 28km from downtown Haikou, yet it feels like a forgotten small town. It's quiet and pristine, still preserving its rich cultural atmosphere. Ding'an is small enough to explore in a day, though the attractions are somewhat spread out, so driving is the most convenient option. Don't miss the Xiangou Farmers' Market to see the "dancing beef"! The nerve endings are still twitching when it's sold, indicating extreme freshness—delicious whether used in hot pot or grilled. ⭕️Ding'an Ancient City: Built during the Ming Dynasty in 1466, it has nearly 560 years of history. Located in the center of the old town, it preserves parts of the ancient city wall. The main attraction is the county yamen ruins, the only well-preserved ancient Ming and Qing Dynasty county government office in Hainan Province, with free admission. There are few tourists here, and the old streets have a strong atmosphere of everyday life. The stone paths and weathered arcade buildings have witnessed the passage of time. 🐶🉑 ⭕️Ding'an County Museum: The museum is very small, with stairs to the 5th floor, and is only open Monday through Friday with a lunch break. Visit as needed. 🐶❌ ⭕️Wenbi Peak: The only Taoist temple mountain in Hainan. Tickets can be purchased in advance for a discount. The mountain isn't tall, and the sightseeing car isn't necessary. 🐶🉑 ⭕️Asia's King Banyan Tree: With over 700 years of history, its branches have grown downward freely, creating today's spectacular sight covering 9.8 mu of land, earning it the title of Asia's largest banyan tree. Villagers charge 10 yuan for parking. The location is a bit remote, but worth a visit if you're driving by. 🐶🉑 ⭕️Zhang Yuesong's Former Residence: Located in Gaolin Village, the hometown of Zhang Yuesong, Hainan's only "Tanhua" (third-place imperial examination scholar). The village is very quiet, and the attraction is free with no staff on duty. There's a small beautiful betel nut grove at the entrance. 🐶🉑
