An unexpected gain. The hotel has convenient transportation, the rooms are clean and sanitary, the facilities are complete, the price is cheap and affordable, the front desk waiter Xiao Pang is very nice, and provides tourist attractions and routes. I will stay here again next time I have the chance. It is a sincere praise.
We arrived at the beautiful Ocean Flower Island and stayed at the Hilton Hotel. It was so elegant and classy! The beautiful receptionist at the lobby gave us a detailed introduction to the surrounding facilities and attractions. Later, when we checked into our room, we noticed the window was fogged up, obscuring our view of the beautiful scenery. The housekeeping lady Hongmei took the trouble to help us out and even upgraded us to a larger room with an ocean view! Their service was truly a blessing in disguise! We were very pleased with the friendly service from Hongmei and the two beautiful receptionists at the lobby! It was a truly wonderful hotel experience! We were very satisfied!

It is still a very good scenic spot. You can visit it when you go to Haihua Island. You can also learn about Su Dongpo's life. There are cruise ships in the scenic area, which are not expensive and convenient for the elderly with inconvenient legs and feet. It is very convenient to park and the parking fee is also very cheap.
This is the last habitat of Dongpo's spirit and the root of Hainan culture. In his later years, Dongpo taught and preached here, pioneered Hainan's education, and cultivated the first scholar in Hainan's history. The scenic area has completely preserved precious historical relics such as Dongpo Academy and Luolang Temple, carrying a thousand-year cultural context.

Nature's artistry has sculpted eternal miracles into the rock face. The stone flowers before us resemble clusters of autumn chrysanthemums in full bloom, or layers of snow lotus blossoming, each with its own unique and lifelike form. They bloom silently in the depths of time, more resilient than real flowers, more magnificent than any painting, leaving one in awe of the wonders of creation. This trip has truly been an eye-opening and worthwhile experience!
The rocks seem to bloom; this cave is truly amazing. It features stone forests, caves, and underground rivers—a typical Kashgar landform cave, something rarely seen in Hainan. Highly recommended for learning about geology; it's very enriching.

There were few people, but the car tour still had explanations. The garden is very old and it happened to be the flowering period of Thai cycads, but the trees were too tall and no female plants were found. After half a day of walking around, I found a hairy dragon and a willow-leaf sparrow by the water before leaving. It was a small happiness.
It is worth going. The ticket price is 26 yuan per person for adults, 13 yuan per person for discount tickets, and free tickets for soldiers and veterans. It is very cost-effective. It is also a national research and study education base for primary and secondary school students. In 1960, Premier Zhou Enlai also wrote a poem for this place: "Establishing a career in Danzhou, taking root in Treasure Island". Many tropical plants are introduced here, including the national first-level protected plant Polu and the national second-level protected plants Tieling and Tuxiang.

For the sixth year, I spent the winter in the south-central coast of Baimajing Town, Danzhou City, Hainan Province, and took the bus to check in at various scenic spots in Yangpu Economic Development Zone. I came to the Danzhou Millennium Ancient Salt Field, a national key cultural relic protection unit, again. Yangpu Salt Field is located on the beach 100 meters southeast of Yantian Village, Xiantang Community, Xinying Bay District, Yangpu. It was built in the early Northern Song Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,200 years. It is the earliest sun-dried salt-making site in my country and the last ancient salt field in my country that retains the original sun-dried salt-making method. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, salt workers such as Tan Zhengde, the ancestor of Yantian Village, went south from Putian, Fujian to Yangpu Peninsula to enjoy salt production. According to local conditions, local volcanic rocks were used to chisel stone salt troughs, dig salt fields, and build salt ponds, changing the previous salt-making method of "boiling the sea for salt" and creating a precedent for "sun-dried salt making". The salt field covers an area of about 750 acres, with reservoirs, salt fields, salt ponds, brine pools and stone salt troughs. Among them, reservoirs, salt fields and brine pools are scattered and of different sizes. The salt pond is a pit dug in the salt field, and the bottom is covered with mats woven from fine bamboo or grass. Similar to a filter net, the salt pond is about 3 meters long, 2 meters wide and 1 meter deep. More than 7,300 inkstone-style stone salt troughs are irregularly round, with a large trough diameter of about 12 meters and a small trough diameter of about 0.3 meters. The salt troughs generally have edges to prevent the brine from flowing out.
Yangpu Salt Field is an important carrier and strong support for local economic and social development and cultural construction, and provides precious physical materials for studying the history of salt industry development in Hainan and China.

There were a lot of people when we went there. Many people were eating in the rest area of the scenic spot. There were many people selling salt-baked chicken and salt-baked eggs. The parking lot is quite large, but the salt fields can be seen in a few minutes.
