A Hidden Gem in Hainan! Lesser-Known Guilin, More Stunning than Guilin?

Are you tired of visiting Sanya and Wanning? 🙈 This time, I found a hidden gem - Lesser-Known Guilin in Dongfang, Hainan. It will definitely give you a brand-new travel experience. Save this post now! 🏠Accommodation Recommendations Riverside Homestay: Highly recommended! It is near the Lesser-Known Guilin Scenic Area. Open the window and you will see the beautiful karst landscape. You will feel like you are in a painting. The room is simple and clean. The owner will enthusiastically share interesting places and local delicacies with you. The price is also very affordable. You can stay in a super comfortable river-view room for only CNY 200–500. Downtown Hotel: If you like a lively atmosphere and convenient life, choose a downtown hotel. It is convenient to travel, and there are shopping malls and night markets nearby. For example, the Dongfang Sochi Hotel is fully equipped and has a swimming pool. You can relax after a long day of fun. 🌅Must-Visit Attractions Exian Ridge: It is the most beautiful place in Lesser-Known Guilin! The unique karst landform is full of strange peaks and rocks. Climb to the top of the mountain and overlook the winding river and green rice fields. It is so beautiful that you will cry. You can choose to hike, which takes about 2–3 hours. The scenery along the way is amazing, and you can see many rare plants. If you don't want to get too tired, you can also take a cable car. 🚠 Daguangba Reservoir: It is the second largest reservoir in Hainan. The lake and mountains are beautiful. The water is like a mirror, reflecting the green mountains on both sides. Every photo you take is like a movie poster. You can rent a small boat and float slowly on the water, feeling the breeze on your face. It is so comfortable. 🍔Food Recommendations Sigen Roast Suckling Pig: A must-try in Dongfang! The skin is crispy and the meat is tender. Take a bite and hear the "crunch" sound. Dip it in the special sauce, and you won't be able to stop eating. I recommend going to the time-honored brand in Sigen Town, where the roast suckling pig is the most authentic. Dongfang Sour Melon: A special appetizer, sour and sweet, with a crispy taste. Whether you eat it directly or stir-fry it with seafood or meat, it has a unique flavor. 🚗Travel Tips Day 1: Arrive in Dongfang in the morning and check in to a riverside homestay. Enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window. Go to Daguangba Reservoir in the afternoon and enjoy a leisurely time on the water. Try a local seafood feast nearby in the evening. Day 2: Get up early and go hiking in Exian Ridge. Challenge yourself and conquer the beautiful scenery. After going down the mountain, go to the downtown area, eat delicious Sigen roast suckling pig, and buy some Dongfang sour melons as souvenirs. Guys, Lesser-Known Guilin in Dongfang, Hainan is really fun. Pack your bags and go! 💖
