Wuzhishan Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area

　　The Wuzhishan Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area is located in Shuiman Township at the foot of Wuzhishan Mountain in Wuzhishan City, Hainan Province. It is 28 kilometers from Wuzhishan City, about 110 kilometers from downtown Sanya, and approximately 100 kilometers from the Lingshui interchange on the eastern section of the Haikou–Sanya Expressway.

　　The Shuiman River, the mother river of the indigenous Li people, flows through the entire scenic area. Formed by mountain spring water from the primeval forests of Wuzhishan, the crystal-clear Shuiman River combines motion and stillness. At times, the water rushes violently like a thousand galloping horses; at other times, it lies flat as a mirror, reminiscent of the lakes in Jiuzhaigou. Strolling through the scenic area, you can listen to the murmuring streams nearby, watch colorful butterflies fluttering around, and breathe air with a negative ion concentration of 10,000 per cubic meter—transporting you back to that dreamlike green primordial era.

　　The Wuzhishan Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area also features typical landscapes of both tropical montane rainforest and tropical valley rainforest. Towering ancient trees, dense vines, and exotic flowers and plants abound throughout the area. There are mother-son connected trees that remain intertwined forever; wild tea trees with miraculous healing properties; and buttress roots that stand like wooden screens blocking your path—all of which are a feast for the eyes. And don’t forget to visit the Observation Platform, where you can gaze directly at the 1,868-meter-high roof of Hainan—Wuzhishan Mountain. Its majestic peaks rise side by side like five outstretched fingers against the sky, emerging and disappearing amid the sea of clouds, seemingly within arm’s reach and fully visible before your eyes.
