Liji Qingpi Forest Nature Reserve—Located in Wanning City, the Liji Qingpi Forest Nature Reserve spans 16,000 mu and was established in July 1980. The primary purpose of creating this reserve is to protect the valuable Qingpi tree species of Hainan’s tropical forests. The Qingpi tree belongs to the Dipterocarpaceae family, can grow up to 30 meters tall, with a trunk diameter of up to 1.2 meters. It has a straight trunk and bluish-gray bark, hence its name. The wood is hard, durable, and resistant to moisture, making it an excellent material for constructing bridges and ships as well as crafting fine wooden items.
