Hainan Ten-Day Tour
First stop of the Hainan ten-day tour is Wenchang, where we first visit the popular Mulan Bay Windmill Coast. Mulan Bay is a coastline stretching over ten kilometers, starting from the northernmost point of Hainan Island, Mulan Head. Here, you can find Asia's first lighthouse, a windmill coast stretching over ten kilometers, with more than 30 giant windmills lined up along the coastline. The towering windmills perfectly blend with the soft coastline, forming a magnificent windmill matrix that stretches for several kilometers. The blue sky, the sea, and the white giant windmills create a beautiful beach scene, where modern industry and natural scenery perfectly blend, making one feel as if they are in a sci-fi world.
For lunch, we head to Dongjiao Coconut Grove for coconut milk chicken. Along the Jianhua Mountain coastline that stretches for ten miles, lush coconut groves form an endless forest belt, a natural green barrier along the coastline. Known as 'half of Hainan's coconuts are from Wenchang. Dongjiao Coconut Grove has the best scenery.' Coconut milk chicken, as the name suggests, is chicken stewed in coconut milk. The chicken soup is milky white, with oil floating on top, extremely pure! The chicken meat, without any additives, retains its original color, even a bit white. The chicken is tender and full of milk flavor, not too salty or bland, perfectly combining the essence of coconut milk and chicken, bringing out the original taste of the chicken! The oil in the soup is not salad oil, but a combination of coconut oil and chicken oil, which tastes particularly fragrant and fresh. According to customer needs, vegetables and vermicelli can be blanched in the soup. The price is not expensive, four people eat, each person spends more than forty yuan.
After the meal, we head to Tongguling. Tongguling is a famous mountain in Hainan, known as the 'first peak of the east of Qiong'. It seems to only have a main peak of 338 meters above sea level, but it is actually accompanied by 18 peaks of different sizes. The peaks compete for beauty, with layers of greenery. The picturesque Tongguling is an international ecological tourism area.
Take a sightseeing car to the end station and then climb up the stone steps to reach the open-view Moon-Viewing Platform, where you can take in the 'one river, two bays, thousand miles of green forest' landscape formed by Moon Bay, Qishui Bay, Baoling River, Baoling Port, and the mangrove wetland. On the granite sea-viewing promenade of the ancient city wall, you can let your mind fly. You can overlook the vast South China Sea and also closely observe the undulating mountains of Tongguling. The dense green vegetation under the sea-viewing promenade is China's only tropical evergreen rain dwarf forest ecosystem.
In the evening, we head to Stone Park to watch the rocket launch site from a distance and wait for the sunset. Stone Park is located in Longlou Town, Wenchang City, Hainan Province, with Tongguling as the center. It is the easternmost corner of Hainan. The park stretches along the sea for 2 kilometers. It is a stone that was uplifted from the earth's surface millions of years ago during the orogeny, and has been sculpted and weathered by the tide over the long years to form a marine erosion landform. There are variously shaped boulders here, some like dinosaurs, some like sea turtles, and some like ancient apes. There are also scattered granite and uniformly shaped pebbles. Standing on the boulder overlooking the sea in the afterglow of the setting sun, one can't help but feel the heroic spirit of Cao Cao's short song line watching the sea.
