Wuzhishan Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area

The song "I Love Wuzhishan, I Love Wanquan River" was created in the early 1970s, with lyrics by Zheng Nan and music by Liu Changan. At the time, neither of them had been to Hainan. Zheng Nan wrote the lyrics after reading a lot of materials and learning about the revolutionary history of Hainan Island. At the time, he was living in Haifeng County, Guangdong Province, with Liu Changan, the composer of the song. After Liu Changan received the lyrics, he completed the composition in one go at a guesthouse in Haifeng County. The old lady who was bored at home during the pandemic and sang every day has performed this song more than once. Now she can come and see the real thing. - It takes about two hours to drive here from downtown Sanya. The Wuzhishan Mountains are shrouded in mist at this time of year, so it's unlikely you'll see the mountains. However, we saw Wuzhishan from a distance when we passed through the Wuzhishan Tunnel, but we didn't take any photos because our phone only has 3x optical zoom. - Official introduction excerpt: The Roof of Hainan - Wuzhishan: Located at the junction of Shuiman Township and Qiongzhong Li and Miao Autonomous County, it is a famous mountain in China and a symbol of Hainan Island. Its five peaks stand tall, with jagged ridges resembling five fingers, hence the name. It overlooks the South China Sea and is known as the "Roof of Hainan." The main rivers of Hainan Island, the Changhua River and the Wanquan River, originate here. The average annual temperature is 20.5-22°C; the average annual rainfall is 2,307.9-2,488.3 mm, with 124-148 rainy days, the highest in the province. The dry and wet seasons are not obvious. Wuzhishan is 1,867 meters above sea level, the highest peak in Hainan, a representative of the mountains of Hainan Island, and a symbol of Hainan Island. Wuzhishan is not only beautiful but also mysterious, with many magical legends circulating among the local Li and Miao people. The area is shrouded in mist all year round, with ever-changing scenery and different views in each season. From a distance, Wuzhishan is covered with lush trees and white clouds, with green mountains spiraling up to the peaks, making you feel like you're walking on clouds. - During the tour, I couldn't help but compare it to the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences: although the scenery and scale are not as good, this is a geographical landmark.
