What Hainan Island has to offer

Natural wonders

Dongzhai Harbor Mangrove natural reserve in the capital, Haikou, is an unusual forest peculiar to the subtropical coastal area. Despite the name, the trees here do not actually have red leaves, but they do have medicinal value. Tourism companies offer boat rides through the trees, some of them ripe with pineapples. Dongjiao Coconut Plantation is also about 20 minutes by ferry from the city's Qinglan Harbor. Visitors can follow the winding footpaths through the trees and enjoy seafood at one of the seaside restaurants.
