    The Rare Plant Garden is worth a visit. It boasts unique landscapes such as the Flying Boardwalk, the Wonderful Tunnel, and the Dreamlike Curtain, as well as numerous attractions including distinctive pergolas, mini windmills, the Cloud Village, and the Rare Plant Pavilion. However, the Rare Plant Pavilion is closed; you can only view the plants from the outside.

    Dongpo Academy was a highlight of our trip to Ocean Flower Island, and it was the only time we went off-island. It's definitely worth a visit; it's a great place to experience history, culture, and scenery all at once. There were also occasional short performances during our visit, which were quite interesting.

    The Guanyin statue at Nanshan is 108 meters tall, making it the world's tallest Guanyin statue at sea. It holds a lotus flower, a sutra box, and prayer beads on three sides, symbolizing compassion, wisdom, and peace. The scenic area offers excellent service, but it's extremely crowded; queuing to touch the Buddha's feet can take over two hours. The scenic area is quite large, so taking a sightseeing bus is recommended.

    Wuzhishan National Park is located in the hinterland of the central and southern Hainan Island, which belongs to the tropical monsoon climate and preserves the most complete tropical rainforest ecosystem in China. More than 3,700 species of higher plants and more than 540 vertebrates are recorded, which is a key area for biodiversity. Its original lowland rainforest and mountain rainforest vertical spectrum is significant, as Hainan ecological core area, it is worth a visit.

    The service and management at the scenic area were rather average. Only one of the three or four ticket windows was open, and once inside, there were practically no staff. Perhaps because it was the off-season, travel agencies were all offering smaller loop tours to groups, while we opted for the larger loop, which was basically just the two of us. Afterwards, my friend was a little worried, saying that if there had been bad guys in the middle of nowhere, we would have been finished. The scenery is a relatively pristine tropical rainforest, but you have to be careful where you step to avoid slipping. Also, there are a lot of mosquitoes; besides spraying mosquito repellent, it's best not to linger. There's basically nothing to eat within the scenic area. When we arrived, there were roasted duck eggs, roasted chicken eggs, and roasted sugarcane juice at the entrance, which were absolutely delicious – it was fantastic!

    Its advantage lies in its popularity; seniors who want to visit will go. There are many sales pitches inside the attraction. Unless you have mobility issues, there's no need to buy the 68 yuan sightseeing bus ticket; the 28 yuan ticket is sufficient. The scenery is alright.

    This was my first time visiting Xidao Island. If you haven't been, you should definitely check it out! I brought my parents along, bought a tour bus ticket, and visited Turtle Beach and Niuwangling. We also took a speedboat ride. Overall, it was a great experience.

    I highly recommend buying the in-depth tour package!!! It's a relaxed tour. If you buy the in-depth tour electric cart ticket after arriving at the scenic area, it costs 50 yuan per person! Walking on your own is incredibly far; the area is huge, and you can't see everything in three hours. Without the in-depth tour, you'll get tired very quickly. Even young people will find it difficult to walk, except for special forces!
