Things to do in Changjiang

A hidden gem on Hainan's western coast, Qizi Bay boasts stunning scenery and fewer crowds, perfect for a slow-paced vacation. I've always felt that Hainan's western coast possesses a rugged, unspoiled beauty, and Qizi Bay is a prime example. Compared to the hustle and bustle of Sanya, it feels like a tranquil paradise. 🌊 About the seascape: The water at Qizi Bay is crystal clear, a deep turquoise. The sand is incredibly fine, feeling wonderful underfoot. The most unique feature is the diverse rock formations, perfect for taking photos. If you visit in the evening, the sunset is absolutely breathtaking, turning the sky into a sea of ​​orange – truly a stunning sight. 📍 About location: Located in Changjiang Li Autonomous County, it's a relatively less-visited bay in Hainan. While transportation isn't as convenient as in Sanya, this is precisely its charm – preserving its pristine natural beauty. It's also a filming location for the sixth season of the popular Taiwanese variety show "Back to Field" (Shayutang Village is nearby), allowing you to see many familiar scenes. 💡 Travel Tips: It's recommended to drive or rent an electric scooter for easier exploration of the surrounding area. If you come in summer, remember to wear sunscreen; if it's winter (like in January where I am now), the sea breeze can be quite strong, so a windproof jacket is highly recommended. In summary: If you prefer a quiet place with fewer crowds and the sound of the waves, Qizi Bay will definitely not disappoint you.

April is the dry season, so the waterfall at Bawangling doesn't have a large flow. Combined with the hot weather, there are fewer tourists, and the scenery is just average. However, the air is still quite fresh. The winding mountain road leading to Bawangling seems more beautiful; the scenic area itself isn't as stunning as I imagined.

On November 25th, we went to Bawangling National Forest Park in Changjiang City. Since the park was still under construction, there were no direct buses to the scenic area, only tricycles. Because it was too early, there weren't any left, so we had to walk for over 70 minutes to the ticket office. The young man at the ticket office knew we had walked, and coincidentally, two girls who had driven up the mountain were checking tickets. He offered us a ride into the scenic area. There was still a long distance from the entrance to the gate, and the kind girls selflessly helped us, even returning to take us back to Changjiang City. While the scenery at Bawangling was beautiful, the two girls' actions made us feel the even more beautiful scenery and warmth of Hainan Island!

Huangdi Cave is located in Changjiang, Hainan, about 20km away from Bawangling, with a rugged mountain road. Huangdi Cave has two huge karst caves, which are relics of the Neolithic Age. Huangdi Cave is a free attraction suitable for self-driving tours. There are various stalactites in the cave, some of which are shaped like stone lions and some are shaped like Guanyin. About 2km from Huangdi Cave, you can reach the Ten-mile Gallery Observation Deck to see the towering rock walls and the quiet river water. This is the upper reaches of the Changhua River, and below is the Daguangba Reservoir.

优美的自然风光，因为游人比较少的缘故吧，风景人为痕迹比较少，海水清澈，浪花洁白，奇石遍布。

Shayutang Village, originally an unknown small fishing village in Changjiang, Hainan, became famous because the sixth season of "Longing for Life" was filmed here. It is a model of the integration of culture and tourism. It is worth a stop on the way to Qiziwan.

There is the Changhua Ancient Temple, Xiaojiao Bay and other good spots for watching the sunset. The dried fish here are very big, and the seafood restaurants here are more expensive than those in big cities. Of course, this is also a feature of most areas in Hainan. ! Accommodation is not expensive.

Qizi Bay is located in the west coast of Hainan Island, in the west of Changjiang, 3 kilometers north of Changhua Town, and 55 kilometers from Shilu Town, Changjiang County. This bay is backed by Changhua Ridge in the east and connected to the sea in the west. It is about 20 kilometers long from east to west and is S-shaped. There are many rocks, sand, white waves and calmness. The water in this bay is clear and the sand is fine and soft, as white as silver. The coast is full of strange peaks, strange rocks, verdant trees, blooming mountain flowers, clear springs, bright sunshine, and spring-like weather all year round. It is a rare natural bathing place and an ideal place for sun bathing and sand bathing. The strange rocks are jagged and colorful, the trees are dense, the grass is green, the clear springs are singing, the silver beach is connected to the blue sea, and people's hearts enjoy flying.

Hainan Changjiang Haiwei National Wetland Park is located in the Shigangtang Wetland of Haiwei Town in Changjiang Li Autonomous County, Hainan Province, with a total area of ​​more than 300 hectares. Hainan Changjiang Haiwei National Wetland Park can be divided into two categories: artificial wetlands and swamp wetlands, and three types of wetlands: reservoir wetlands, shrub swamps, and herbaceous swamp wetlands. It is the natural "urban kidney" of Changjiang Li Autonomous County. It has large areas of wetlands, grasslands, beaches, mangrove conservation areas, bird habitats and coastal defense forests. Its landform types are plains and coastal beach landforms. There are 196 species of vascular plants in 79 families, 164 genera in Hainan Changjiang Haiwei National Wetland Park. Among them, the national second-level protected plants are water ferns and Dalbergia odorifera. There are 94 species of wild vertebrates in 16 orders, 40 families, and 9 species of national second-level wild protected animals. I visited Hainan Changjiang Haiwei Wetland Park a few years ago. There are patches of swamps, lush aquatic plants, and beautiful scenery of dancing water birds in the park. Now Haiwei Wetland Park has been upgraded to a national wetland park. When I visited it again, it was closed and entry was prohibited. I could only look for wild scenery outside the park.
