2025 Changjiang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#100WaysOfTravel Situated in a very remote location in the Chiangjiang area of Hainan, you will descover a massive cave! This cave is hidden between the mountains and the gorge. This is one of my favorite places on the island because it is quiet, it has the most spectacular views and it is sacred to the locals. Many of the local villages on the island that lives close to the cave go inside to worship. As you walk up to the mouth of the cave, it seems to be small, however once inside the main chamber, you will notice the massive area! 🔦Take a flashlight with you (rentals are available outside) ☔️During rainy days, do wear shoes that have grip and can get dirty. 🎟️ Free entry Bonus: There are two main chambers, once you walked through to the back of the first, there is a metal staircase leading you outside, follow the path to discover the next room! Upon your return to the main chamber entrance, have a look if you see a face or a heart from the light entering from outside? #summerdestinations #summervacation #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #trip #instatravel #hainan #haikou #sanya #china #cave

Hainan | Discovering Changjiang from a fresh perspective In my memory, Changjiang boasts the stunning Qizi Bay, romantic kapok terraces, and the mysterious Bawangling Mountain. This trip completely refreshed my understanding of Changjiang—I never knew it integrated ethnic culture so brilliantly. It reminded me of the saying: "Let tradition return to tradition." Entering Langlun Village feels like stepping into a mysterious tribe, where traditional ethnic elements harmonize with the ancient forests at every turn. This isn't the Changjiang I knew—it's Changjiang's enigmatic and captivating side. Travel tips: Langlun Village, Changjiang. Perfect for hiking, with tropical rainforests and emerald rivers—every breath you take is sweet.

Looking forward to meeting you at the beautiful Qizi Bay and spending a wonderful time together! 🌟

The west route of Hainan doesn't require early rising to catch the sunset every day, making it perfect for lazy sunset watchers. I also noticed there are more cycling enthusiasts on the west route than the east. I arranged a 5-day trip along the west route, which you can adjust based on your own schedule. · Day1️⃣ Sanya → Yazhou Ledong (about 100km) Key experiences: 📌 Tianya Town: Popular spot with seaside guesthouses and many cafes, good for surfing. 📌 Dadonghai Xiaodonghai: If you just want to take Bali-style photos at the entrance, that's fine. 📌 Shallow Sea Time: A rotating church, very photogenic. 📌 Yazhou Ancient City: Explore thousand-year-old history and culture, experience the lively atmosphere of the arcade streets. 📌 Baoping Village: Features connected Qing Dynasty ancient buildings like Zhang Family Mansion. 📌 Yinggehai Salt Fields: Southern China's largest salt field, perfect for aerial photography, with a tourist station called "Yingge Singing at Night" designed by a master. 🏨 Accommodation suggestion: Many seaside guesthouses near the Yinggehai Lighthouse. · Day2️⃣ Ledong → Dongfang (about 180km) Key experiences: 📌 Yulin Island: Lighthouse and windmill coast; during low tide, you can collect seafood on the rocky beach. 📌 Baicha Village Boat Houses: 600-year-old Li ethnic minority thatched houses. 📌 Exian Ridge: Karst landscape known as "Little Guilin," hike Jiufeng Mountain, possibly encounter wild sika deer. · Day3️⃣ Dongfang → Changjiang (about 90km) Key experiences: 📌 Basuo Fishing Port: Visit the lively morning market to buy fresh seafood. 📌 Dongfang Black-faced Spoonbill Nature Reserve: A tidal flat where you might spot black-faced spoonbills if you're lucky. 📌 Qizi Bay: Divided into three sections - Large Corner, Middle Corner, and Small Corner. The Middle Corner's rock formations are ideal for sunset silhouette photos, while the Large Corner has fine sand beaches for swimming. 📌 Changjiang Mushroom Houses: "Where We Are Going" TV show filming location. 🏨 Accommodation suggestion: Many hotels available at Qizi Bay. · Day4️⃣ Changjiang → Danzhou (about 160km) Key experiences: 📌 Guanhai Bridge North Viewing Platform: Cross-sea bridge, impressive for aerial photography. 📌 Longgang Beach: Features a stranded giant ship similar to the "Brewis." 📌 Ocean Flower Island: Well-equipped facilities, especially suitable for families with children. 📌 Thousand-Year-Old Salt Fields: The most well-preserved sun-dried salt production site. 📌 Dongpo Academy: Learn about Su Shi's exile history in Hainan. 📌 Longmen Rapids: Volcanic rock coastline, what I consider the most beautiful coastal road on the east route. · Day5️⃣ Danzhou → Haikou (about 130km) Key experiences: 📌 Guangcun Silver Beach: Good for collecting seafood, with very fine sand. 📌 Lingao Cape: Hainan Liberation Memorial site with a 7km coastline for walking. 📌 Chengmai Yongqing Temple: Tang Dynasty style Zen temple built by the sea, where you can find peace copying scriptures. · 👉 Having completed both east and west routes of Hainan, only the central route remains - I'll summarize that for you next time!

🔺 Start your 3-day, 2-night relaxing family trip at Changjiang Qizi Bay 🔛 ▪️ On the fifth day, we arrived at Changjiang Qizi Bay and chose 📍Xixi Li Homestay, 💰averaging CNY 100+ per person. The sea view from the top-floor suite was amazing❗️ We didn't even want to go inside, preferring to sit on the balcony. After staying in hotels for so long, it finally felt like home. The two-bedroom apartment with a living room and kitchen where we could cook our own meals was so chill. ▪️ This is a supporting residential area of ​​Wanguo Hotel. You can walk to Wanguo Beach to dig in the sand. There is a small outdoor playground where children can let off steam 🛝. ▪️ It is also convenient to drive to the town for dinner in about 10 minutes, and the owners are very enthusiastic and the prices are not expensive.

Days 6️⃣ & 7️⃣: ▪️ Shayutang Village Mushroom House ⛱️ Check in at the filming location of "Back to the Field", where you can enjoy the breeze and sunshine freely~ When we went, the small courtyard was booked by someone, so we couldn't go in to visit, so we just wandered around. ▪️ Qizi Bay Dajiao (Big Corner) The coastline is very long, and there is also a seaside boardwalk where you can stroll along. The red boardwalk contrasts well with the sea and cacti 🌵, making it great for taking pictures. ⚠️ The fruits in Dajiao Park are very cheap, with watermelons at CNY 5 each, cantaloupes at CNY 10 for six, and cherry tomatoes at CNY 10 for a large bag, making it easy to enjoy all the fruit you want 🍉. ▪️ Qizi Bay Zhongjiao (Middle Corner) You can see reefs and sunsets. How can you miss a sunset when driving on the west line? It's really beautiful to sit on the big reef and watch the sunset 🌄. ▪️ Qizi Bay Xiaojiao (Small Corner) Located in the westernmost part of Hainan, it is the best viewing point for sunsets over the sea. 🔺 The west line of Hainan Island is not as prosperous as the east line. It is full of quiet little fishing villages. There are few people and it is quiet and pleasant. Let's continue on our way~

🔺How to have fun❓ ▪️Dajiao Park A popular park with large reefs and seaside boardwalks. There are many vendors at the entrance, and the fruits are quite cheap 🍈 ▪️Zhongjiao Park A must-see sunset spot when traveling on the west line. Kids can also dig sand and climb reefs here. The sunset happens quickly, so be sure to arrive early. ▪️Xiaojiao Park A bit further away, but also the best place to watch the sunset. ▪️Wanguo Beach Because it is a private beach for the hotel, it is less crowded and has some seaside swings and decorations. ▪️Kaiyuan Beach The beach behind Kaiyuan Resort is suitable for clamming, with many small reefs 🪨 ▪️Shayutang Village 🎬 The filming location of "Back to the Field". It is not far away and you can check it out along the way. ▪️Enjoying Kapok Flowers Now is the season when kapok flowers are in full bloom in Changjiang. We didn't go to any special flower viewing spots, but we saw a lot along the way. It was the first time I saw kapok flowers. The colors are bright and the flowers are super big. You can pick some up for photos 📷 🔺Where to stay❓ ▪️There are two hotels 🏨 in Qizi Bay, Kaiyuan Resort and Wanguo Hotel. We chose [Sicily Seaview Homestay]. We chose a sea view suite for three adults and one child, with a two-bedroom and one-living room layout. Facts have proved that our choice was very wise hahaha ▪️Yi Yi can run around in the room, enjoy the sea view 🌊 while eating fruit, and keep saying "Mom, it's so beautiful, so beautiful" ▪️The homestay butler will also recommend restaurants and travel guides. Some restaurants offer discounts if you mention the name of the homestay, which is very cost-effective. 🔺What to eat❓ ▪️There is a Bai Pang Pang food stall at the entrance of Dajiao Park, or there are more choices in the small town a ten-minute drive away. The owners are very enthusiastic. ▪️In the morning, there are also many vegetable sellers at the entrance of Evergrande's residential area. We bought some local sweet potatoes and corn 🌽, which can be steamed at the homestay. They are very delicious~ 🔺We had a vacation in advance before arriving in Sanya, and it was less crowded and quieter. We really love this 3-day, 2-night lie-down style baby-friendly trip ❤️

Bawangling National Forest Park ⛰️ is a newly opened tourist attraction in Hainan. As a nature reserve, it's free of the commercialization found in other rainforest scenic areas. It retains the original appearance of the primeval forest in central Hainan Island and is considered the essence of Hainan's tropical rainforest. The rare and endangered Hainan gibbon 🐒 inhabits this area. I arrived in the morning, just as the park opened. The sun hadn't yet penetrated the dense primeval forest, which was shrouded in mist and looked like a fairyland. The air, filled with the fragrance of earth and vegetation, was refreshing! ⛳Bawangling National Forest Park (Currently open areas include 🌱Baishi Lake and Yajia📍, 8 km apart) ps: ☑️Baishi Lake is less developed, with only a boardwalk running through the forest. You can see unique ecological landscapes such as "air gardens," "aerial roots," and "plant strangulation." It's a great place for rainforest exploration and oxygen intake. The fog was thick when I visited, and a forest ranger kindly guided me. ☑️Yajia is more developed and focuses on waterfalls. It features three trails—the Love Trail, the Health Trail, and the Joy Trail—as well as attractions like Lovers' Valley. ⏱️Both scenic areas take about 40 minutes to tour. 🏕️Location: Qicha Town, Changjiang Li Autonomous County, Hainan Province ✨Opening hours: 8 am–5 pm (It's recommended to enter before 3 pm.

Changjiang Lixiang Time Homestay, Changjiang, Hainan At the Baoshan Kapok Viewing Platform in Qicha Town, Changjiang County, Hainan Province, I admired the kapok flowers, which looked like rosy clouds and fire, complementing the green terraced fields and Li village houses, creating a picturesque gallery of early tropical spring. Following the navigation towards Wangxia Huangdi Cave for about an hour, we arrived at Wangxia Township. On the roadside, bougainvilleas were in full bloom, and a stream flowed down from a small hill-like rock, resembling a delicate bonsai, attracting people to stop and admire. Further ahead, at the fork in the road, the right side leads to Huangdi Cave, while the left side leads along a rugged mountain road, embarking on a journey to explore Hongshui Village in Changjiang, Hainan. Hongshui Village is a treasure of Li ethnic customs, where time stands still under the shadow of the boat-shaped houses, as sweet as ever. Every inch of land in Hongshui Village carries a profound history, and every breeze seems to whisper ancient legends. The traditional Li boat-shaped houses are scattered throughout the village, like unfinished poems, immersing people in this simplicity and tranquility. Walking along the path, sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, forming spots of golden light, and the distant mountains complement the azure sky. This is our second time visiting Hongshui Village, and we feel like we came too late. When we visited in early February the year before last, the rice fields were filled with water, and the blue sky, white clouds, coconut trees, and mountains were reflected in the fields, forming a refreshing natural picture.

#2月好地方2025 "They are playing Tarzan, right?" 4-year-old Lele, wearing homemade leaf headphones, was hushed by the ranger, who pointed to the treetops: "This is the morning song for the apes. Clap your hands to sing along!" After recording the cry of a gibbon, Lele frowned when replaying it: "Why did it become my cry?" When he found army ants carrying seeds, he was so anxious that he took out biscuit crumbs and said: "Go for it! I have to send a package to Uncle Woodpecker!" While walking on the canopy suspension bridge, Lele held on to the rope tightly and vowed: "When I grow up, I want to be Tarzan and swing on vines to give gibbons a haircut!"

💥The Kapok flowers in Changjiang, viewed from a distance, look just like maple leaves in the north, with layers of forests dyed in a warm and deep red. They seem to have a hint of sadness, standing quietly in the spring breeze, like an affectionate woman waiting for the return of her lover from afar. 💥However, when you take a closer look, you will find that the branches are full of bright red flowers, each of which is like a burning flame, warm and unrestrained. They sway gently in the breeze, as if warmly welcoming every visitor from afar with the brightest smile, turning the sorrow of waiting into full of joy. 🌺 Kapok Kapok tree is also known as red cotton tree, spotted tree, hero tree and climbing flower. After the flowers fall, the petals fall in a colorful array under the tree, but the flowers do not fade or wilt. Because it blooms bright red but not vulgar, its sturdy trunk, upright posture, heroic grandeur, and the color of the flowers are like the blood of heroes that dye the treetops red, it is called the "hero flower." The first person to call Kapok a hero was Chen Gongyin, one of the three great masters of Lingnan in the early Qing Dynasty. In his "Kapok Song", he described The kapok tree has a thick beard and a big face, resembling a hero, and has a tall and majestic crown and a strong spirit. Since then, people have called the kapok tree the hero tree. 📸Filming location: Tropical Rainforest National Park Tourist Highway (Changjiang Section)

Hey everyone👋, today I'm sharing my super special self-driving tour along Hainan's west coast🎈. This trip was full of both disappointments and pleasant surprises. Compared to the east coast, the west coast is definitely less traveled, but its unique charm is just too attractive👀! 🏜️ On the westernmost tip of Hainan, there's a city called Dongfang (东方, meaning "east"). 🤗 There's also Danzhou (儋州), where my fellow Sichuan native, Su Dongpo, was exiled many times. 🌊 And then there's Ocean Flower Island (海花岛), a 160 billion yuan replica of Palm Island. 🏝 Of course, there's also the volcanic rock coastline, different from the romantic sandy beaches of the east coast. Each place has its own unique charm. 🚗 I started from Sanya and drove all the way west. Now let me tell you about my experiences along the way. 🌟 First, let's talk about the stunning photo spots📷: 💎 Qizi Bay (棋子湾): Qizi Bay has three bays: large, medium, and small. I went to the large and medium bays. The seawater is incredibly blue, the white sand is fine, and thatched umbrellas dot the beach, creating a perfect vacation vibe. There are also small, round stones and shells washed up on the beach. Every photo you take here looks like an Instagram post, super photogenic. 💎 Banyan Tree Beach (叶榕沙滩): This is a wild beach near Danzhou Ocean Flower Island. No filters needed! The sun, sand, waves, and cacti create a breathtakingly beautiful picture. It's so beautiful it leaves you speechless. Although the road to the beach is a bit rough, it's definitely worth a visit. 💎 Ocean Flower Island (海花岛): Ocean Flower Island is divided into three islands. Island 1 is a great place for sightseeing, while Islands 2 and 3 are mostly residential or B&Bs. If you're going sightseeing, choose Island 1. There's a free shuttle bus around the island. Buildings in various international styles are scattered around the island, and the wedding chapels are especially beautiful for photos, super Instagrammable. Food and drinks are readily available on the island, and there's also an amusement park, making it a great place to spend the whole day. 👻 Now, let's talk about the disappointments: ❌ Yulinzhou (鱼鳞洲) in Dongfang: Although Yulinzhou is a good place to watch the sunset, the seawater is yellowish, the waves are huge, and the sand is very coarse. It's impossible to stand barefoot without hurting your feet, and the surrounding environment is a bit dirty and messy. However, to be fair, the Yulinzhou Lighthouse is really beautiful and makes for great photos. ❌ Dongpo Academy (东坡书院) in Danzhou: After Su Dongpo was exiled to Danzhou, he started teaching and built the academy to improve local customs. I thought I could see the wonderful stories of Mr. Dongpo in Danzhou at the academy, but the park is very small, and there are very few exhibits about his local creations. It felt like a wasted trip. 🍲 Let's talk about the food along the way: 🥢 Dongfang's specialties, crispy roast suckling pig and lomein, are both sweet. I really couldn't stand them🙅. 🍜 Danzhou's Mǐ Làn (米烂) is a dry mixed rice noodle dish. It's quite fragrant and tastes pretty good. 🍤 Lingao's seafood is quite famous. We used our GPS to navigate to Lincheng Shengjin Seafood Market (临城盛金海鲜城) to buy seafood and then went to a restaurant to have it cooked. The seafood market isn't very big, but the prices are reasonable. 👀 Overall, compared to the cities on the east coast, the tourism infrastructure on the west coast is not yet fully developed, but this also gives it a more local feel, which is a unique travel experience.
