Apart from the sea, the mountains in Hainan are also beautiful, come and take a look

Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi once described in the 'Inscription of the Humble House' that 'The mountain is not high, but it is famous for its immortals.' Although there are no immortals here, the Buddhist culture has a long history, full of fairy spirit, quiet environment, it is a long-standing Buddhist holy land in Hainan, known as 'the first mountain of Hainan'. The 'Chaoyin Temple' built in the Tang and Song Dynasties on the mountain attracts tourists all year round, with a strong incense, worshipped by visitors as gods, making this mountain well-known and highly praised, it is the Dongshanling Cultural Tourism Area located in the suburbs of Wanning City, Hainan Province. The Dongshanling Cultural Tourism Area in Hainan has an altitude of only over 180 meters. Although the mountain is not high, it is very well-known locally. In addition to the well-known Buddhist culture on the mountain, it also has unique scenery, strange rocks, mysterious caves and valleys, and cliff carvings that have gone through the vicissitudes of life. Standing in it, looking around, from the valley of Dongshanling to the ridge, the various shapes of cliffs are like the magic work of nature, the various shapes of rocks are like living beings, some are like eagles with long wings, striking the sky; some are like a flat boat, riding the wind and breaking the waves; they are lifelike and vivid. From the immortal inscriptions left by the ancients when they visited, we can feel that this place has always been a place where literati and poets gather. They express their feelings here, with elegant words and phrases. Although these stone carvings have been polished by the years, they can still feel their exquisite carving, and still taste their rich connotations, profound and profound, like the distant Sanskrit. Tourist guide: After arriving at the Dongshanling Tourism Area, it is recommended to take the cable car up the mountain. At the first station of the cable car, you can appreciate the cliff carvings with profound cultural heritage, and you can also go to the tea room to taste the heart-refreshing tea while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Dongshanling halfway up the mountain. Then continue to take the cable car to the top of the mountain. After reaching the top, you can overlook the beautiful scenery and the whole view of Wanning City. Visitors to the scenic area can also take a small bus directly to halfway up the mountain, and then, along the steep slope of more than 100 meters, reach the top of the mountain, where you can enjoy the lush vegetation along the way, breathe the fresh air in the forest, and overlook the sea view after reaching the top. The must-see attractions mainly include Chaoyin Temple and Xianzhou Cable, Chaoyin Temple attracts tourists all year round, with a strong incense; the Xianzhou Cable attraction has a huge rock like a boat, and there are mysterious '36 holes' under the boat. The implication: Dongshanling has the historical and cultural connotation of 'Dongshan rises again', which is very meaningful and worth worshipping and praying for blessings. Ticket policy: The tickets for the Dongshanling Cultural Tourism Area are divided into peak season and off-peak season. The peak season is 44 yuan per person, the off-peak season is 37 yuan per person, and the small traffic is 20 yuan per person. The ticket includes tropical plant viewing and Buddhist culture experience, as well as cliff carving culture viewing, etc. Traffic guide: Non-self-driving tourists can take the Wanning 104 bus from Wanning, get off at Gangwei Village Station, and walk about a thousand meters to get there. If you start from Wanning Railway Station, you need to take the Wanning 2 bus, and then transfer to the Wanning 104 bus. Friendly reminder: Longquan water, Zhuge tea, and Dongshan sheep are known as the three unique features of Dongshanling. Longquan water is sweet and mellow, clear and visible; Zhuge tea is like a jade liquid, with a long aftertaste, known as 'Lingzhi grass'; Dongshan sheep is known as a rare delicacy, the meat is fresh and delicious, without any smell. Personal opinion: Although the sea in Hainan is undisputedly beautiful, the mountains in Hainan are also very beautiful. The Dongshanling Cultural Tourism Area is very special.
