Seven Peaks, One Journey: Climb, Soak, and Dream in Qixianling
Just a scenic drive from Sanya, step into the mystical realm of Qixianling—where mountain legends meet natural wonders. Challenge yourself on a stone trail winding through ancient rainforest, climb the legendary “seven-finger” peaks with iron-chain assistance, and be rewarded with breathtaking views of terraced villages and distant mountain ranges. After your ascent, immerse in Hainan’s hottest natural springs, where 95°C mineral waters soothe tired muscles under a rainforest canopy. Discover the poetic legend of seven celestial maidens and, if time allows, wander through vibrant local markets where Li and Miao cultures come alive. This journey is more than a hike—it’s a connection to earth, story, and self.

Yes, private round-trip transfers are included. The drive from Sanya to Qixianling takes about 1.5 hours each way.
Wear comfortable hiking shoes, light clothing, and a hat. Bring swimwear for the hot springs, a towel, sunscreen, insect repellent, and plenty of water. A small backpack is useful.
The hike is moderately challenging with steep sections and 3,770 steps. It’s doable for most people with average fitness, but those with knee issues or low stamina may find it tough.
Soak no longer than 15–20 minutes per session, especially in the hottest pools. Shower before entering, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol before soaking.
Meals are not included. There are small local restaurants near the park entrance, or you can bring your own snacks and water.
Time permitting, your driver can stop at a local market on the return trip. This offers a glimpse into daily Hainanese life and Li/Miao culture.
Your driver speaks Chinese. For an English-speaking guide during the hike, please request in advance for a more informative experience.
The dry season (November–April) is ideal, with cooler temperatures and less rain. The rainy season (May–October) is lush but humid, and trails may be slippery.
Use the chain supports on steep sections, watch your step on wet stones, carry enough water, and don’t hike alone. Inform your driver if you feel unwell.
Restrooms are available at the park entrance and near the hot spring area. There are no facilities along the hiking trail itself.
Yes, small shops near the entrance sell local handicrafts, Li/Miao textiles, and Hainan specialties like wild honey or tropical fruit snacks.
Yes, after a brief introduction at the park, you’ll have free time to hike and enjoy the hot springs at your own pace before the scheduled return.
The hike is challenging for young children. Families may prefer to enjoy the hot springs and explore the lower trails instead of summiting.
You might enjoy a hearty dinner, stroll along Sanya Bay, or simply rest at your hotel—the combination of hiking and hot springs often leaves guests pleasantly tired.
