About this tour

Hainan Yanoda Tropical Rainforest Hiking Tour with Binglanggu/Li Miao Minority Park, Travel Guide on Hainan Yanoda Rainforest Cultural Tourism Zone and Binglanggu/Li Miao Minority Park

Where is Yanoda Tropical Rainforest, Baoting, Hainan Island:

Yanoda Tropical Rainforest, officially known as Hainan Yanoda Rainforest Cultural Tourism Zone, is situated in Baoting County, at the heart of Hainan Island. Located 35 kilometers away from Sanya, it lies along the route between Sanya and Wuzhishan City, making it easily accessible from both cities with a travel time of approximately 1.5 hours.

What to see or do in Yanoda Tropical Rainforest, Baoting, Hainan Island:

Yanoda is a term derived from the Hainan local dialect, meaning 1, 2, 3, chosen by the owner of Hainan Yanoda Rainforest Cultural Tourism Zone. This expansive park, spanning 45 square kilometers within an ecological protection area of 123 square kilometers, is designated as a National 5A Tourism Attraction, the highest rating in China.

Comprising two scenic areas, the Rainforest Valley and the Dream World Valley, Yanoda showcases the essence of Hainan’s five major rainforests: Wuzhishan, Jianfengling, Diaoluoshan, Bawangling, and Limushan. Visitors can experience a blend of nature and culture through activities such as rainforest hiking, electric car tours along well-paved roads, and encounters with tropical flora and fauna.

While shuttle buses are available from various points in Sanya, we recommend taking a direct bus from Sanya Bus Station to Baoting or Wuzhishan and alighting at Hainan Yanoda Rainforest Cultural Tourism Zone. This offers a more convenient option, especially for non-Chinese tourists, ensuring a hassle-free journey.

Where is Binglanggu Local Li & Miao Minority Culture Park, Hainan Island:

Binglanggu Local Li & Miao Minority Culture Park is a cultural theme park nestled in Baoting, Hainan, approximately a 40-minute drive from Sanya, toward the center of Hainan Island.

What to see or do in Binglanggu Li & Miao Minority Culture Park, Hainan Island:

Binglanggu, meaning “Areca Valley” in Chinese, offers insights into the rich cultural heritage of the Li and Miao ethnic minorities. The Li people, the earliest settlers of Hainan Island, dating back 5000 years, and the Miao, who arrived 800 years ago, have preserved their traditions and lifestyle in this scenic valley.

Visitors can immerse themselves in authentic experiences, witnessing exhibitions, shows, and the daily lives of the local Li and Miao communities. The park features three thematic zones: Li Village, Miao Village, and Tropical Rainforest, each offering a glimpse into the unique culture and customs of these ethnic groups.

Highlights include traditional performances by local villagers, showcasing age-old dances and songs. A half-day visit is recommended to explore the villages and enjoy the cultural performances, providing an enriching glimpse into the timeless traditions of the Li and Miao peoples.
