Live coverage from Danzhou on March 5th, it’s truly overwhelming — traveler post in Danzhou

Live coverage from Danzhou on March 5th, it’s truly overwhelming

If Sanya is the “face” of Hainan, then Danzhou is the “heart” of Hainan. Here lies a side of Hainan you’ve never seen—wild volcanic coasts, a thousand-year-old fishing port’s lively atmosphere, and the cultural spirit nurtured by Su Dongpo. Three days and two nights completely overturn your perception of Hainan! 🚤【3 Days 2 Nights In-Depth Tour | Discover a Different Hainan】 This is an unconventional way to explore Danzhou, linking natural wonders, cultural history, and fishing port charm to give you a brand-new impression of Hainan. Day 1: Volcanic Coast & Thousand-Year Salt Charm Arrive in Danzhou and it’s recommended to stay in the Yangpu Economic Development Zone, close to the ancient salt fields and the pier. In the afternoon, head to the thousand-year-old ancient salt fields. In the soft glow of dusk, see over a thousand volcanic rock salt pans, arranged like inkstones scattered along the coast. Chat with the elderly salt farmers and witness the magical process of seawater turning into salt. In the evening, be sure to try the old-style salt-baked chicken. The chicken is tender and juicy with a subtle salty sea flavor, a unique local delicacy. Day 2: Tracing Su Dongpo & Zhonghe Ancient Town In the morning, drive to Zhonghe Ancient Town, with the destination being the Dongpo Academy. Here, don’t just glance around—calm your mind, read the stone inscriptions and poems, and imagine Su Shi “carrying wine and asking about words,” educating the local people. At noon, find a small local eatery in town to enjoy a bowl of authentic Changpo rice porridge. In the afternoon, stroll around the ancient city gates and Ningji Temple in the ancient town to feel the vicissitudes of this thousand-year-old town. In the evening, visit Haicheng Island to see the night view. This artificial island, built with a multi-billion investment, features a stunning light show. Even if you don’t stay on the island, it’s great to visit and take photos. Day 3: Exploring Wonders & Fishing Port Life In the morning, visit Shihua Water Cave. First, explore the dry cave’s wonders and see the variously shaped stalactites. The most amazing experience is the boat ride through the underground river, with winding passages and dim lighting, giving a thrilling sense of exploration. In the afternoon, go to Baima Well Fishing Port, one of the largest fishing ports on Hainan’s west coast. Watch fishing boats shuttle back and forth, fishermen busy unloading and trading, full of the simplest everyday life atmosphere. Buy some freshly landed seafood and have it cooked at a nearby stall for a perfect dinner. Then you can prepare for your return trip. 🏨【Accommodation Guide | From Island Resorts to Fishing Ports】 Danzhou offers a variety of accommodation options, from modern urban hotels to fishing port styles, there’s always one that suits you. · Modern Vacationers: The first choice is the hotel clusters on Haicheng Island. Major brands like Oberoi and Hilton gather here, with prices ranging from 300 to 1000+ RMB. The facilities are new and well-equipped, and the island itself is a major scenic spot, perfect for families or those who enjoy one-stop vacations. · Convenient Transport: Stay in Nada Town (Danzhou city center). This is the political and economic center of Danzhou, with hotels and inns of all levels, affordable prices (200-400 RMB), and the most convenient dining and shopping. · Fishing Port Experience: Stay in the Yangpu Economic Development Zone or Baima Well Town. There are many budget hotels and inns here, close to the ancient salt fields and fishing ports, convenient for experiencing local life, and very affordable. · Cultural Nostalgia: There are some local homestays in Zhonghe Ancient Town. The conditions may be simple, but they offer quietness and an authentic experience, allowing you to truly feel the pace of life in the ancient town. 📸【Photo Guide | Capture Unique Hainan Shots】 Thousand-Year Ancient Salt Fields: Use a drone for aerial shots to capture the spectacular salt pan matrix. At sunset, use low-angle backlighting to shoot the golden reflections in the salt pans. Capture silhouettes of salt workers for a strong cultural feel. Dongpo Academy: In the courtyard in front of the Zai Jiu Hall, use the branches of ancient trees as foregrounds to shoot traditional-style portraits. You can also capture details like eaves, stone inscriptions, and door knockers, full of scholarly atmosphere. Shihua Water Cave: The cave is dimly lit, so a phone camera might not suffice; a camera with a tripod is needed. Try shooting the shapes of stalactites and the atmosphere created by the lighting. While on the boat, capture the light and shadow on the bow and reflections on the water. Baima Well Fishing Port: This is a great place for cultural photography. Capture fishermen’s busy figures, trading scenes, and moored fishing boats. Early morning and evening light are best for fishing port themes. 🧠【Cultural Stories | Su Dongpo’s Years in Danzhou】 “Where the heart is at peace, there is my hometown”: When Su Shi was exiled to Danzhou, he was already in his sixties. He established a school here, promoted learning, and even studied herbal medicine to treat people. He regarded Danzhou as his second hometown and wrote the poem line, “I am originally a Hainan native, living in Western Shu Prefecture.” Zai Jiu Hall: Su Shi befriended local scholar Li Ziyun in Danzhou and often gathered at his home’s Zai Jiu Hall for lectures. Later, they collectively expanded Zai Jiu Hall, which became the predecessor of Dongpo Academy. A Foodie’s Discovery: Su Shi was a famous gourmet. It is said that he discovered the deliciousness of oysters in Danzhou and even wrote to his son, asking him not to tell the court officials, fearing they would all come to snatch them.

Ocean Flower Island

This trip to Ocean Flower Island exceeded my expectations! The island's architecture is very unique, the aquarium allows for close-up viewing of various marine life, and the small animal exhibit offers interactive experiences, which is especially fun. The park is clean, with many photo spots, making it perfect for strolling or taking pictures. There are plenty of activities to enjoy, making it a relaxing place to explore at a leisurely pace. The service was also excellent, making it a great place for a relaxing vacation. I highly recommend it! Lin Jiangan provided warm and welcoming service.

Dongpo Academy

For those who admire Su Dongpo, the primary purpose of visiting Danzhou is to see the Guanglang Temple and the academy. Online searches failed to resolve the question of where to stay. Public transportation in Hainan seems infrequent, and waiting times could be long. After arriving at Baimajing High-Speed ​​Railway Station, I hastily found accommodation on Haihua Island. That evening, I pondered whether to drag my suitcase to the academy the next day, but I actually wanted to stay overnight near the Guanglang Temple to experience the feeling of the desolate state Su Dongpo described. I got up early, quickly ate breakfast, and took a taxi. Using a taxi coupon, the trip to the academy cost less than ten yuan. Now, I'll share my experience with those considering staying there. There are accommodations available. From the front or back gates of the academy, it's a five-minute walk to guesthouses or inns in town; you can see the signs for guesthouses at the scenic area entrance. A combined ticket for Guanglang Temple and the academy includes a free shuttle bus, running approximately every half hour. Guanglang Temple has a Dongpo Pavilion, which is worth spending considerable time exploring. After finishing my visit, I didn't take the sightseeing bus back to the academy because I wanted to see the well he dug himself in the northwest corner behind Su Dongpo's house. It's very close; just turn right after exiting the scenic area, and you don't even need to go onto the main road—it's only about a hundred meters. Then, turn back a few steps and walk directly through the alley to the town. Along the way, I heard the voices of local people and the sounds of chickens, ducks, and birds. Looking at the white clouds in the sky, walking on the slightly bumpy road, and smelling the fragrance of rice wafting in the wind, I thought that these must have been the same clouds and winds that Su Dongpo experienced back then. Perhaps even his footprints have overlapped. Touching the ancient well wall, who says it can't connect with certain moments from over nine hundred years ago? The places Su Dongpo visited brought so many people closer together; wherever he went, no one dared to underestimate him. Just like a cleaner at the academy said today, he benefited the people of Danzhou. In the town government compound, you can even imagine them playing chess. The fragrance of rice is all thanks to him; the wind carries the scent of rice blossoms in all directions. I entered the park before 9:30 AM and left at 5:00 PM, which at least lessened my regret about not staying overnight. The last bus, number 13, departed promptly at 5:30 PM, taking me back to Chongqing city. The journey took an hour and a half, mostly just sightseeing. The current transportation situation makes me think back to when he came here, feeling like he was facing certain death or even dying somewhere he wouldn't return. Anyway, locals in Danzhou say that tourists don't go to Danzhou city proper. If you still can't find hotels or guesthouses near the academy online, you can go there without worry. Or you can take a taxi early, explore thoroughly, and then take the bus back slowly, which is also a good option. You absolutely must visit the town behind his house and experience the alleyways of Sichuan.

Ocean Flower Island Fairyland Ocean Park

I love beluga whales, but this should be the last time I see an animal show. The first exhibit upon entering was the polar bear enclosure. It looked so pitiful; the bears were constantly panting. Yesterday, it felt like 37 degrees Celsius in Hainan, and I was almost fainting from the heat. Elena seemed incredibly hot, constantly pacing back and forth behind the bars—a stereotypical behavior. At such a low latitude, there shouldn't be a polar bear exhibit. There were many other exhibits. I even fed the otters. Some animals, like the raccoons, had very little space, but I know that's how most aquariums are. I usually go to aquariums, but this time I spent a long time in the beluga whale exhibit. The two beluga whales kept swimming in circles, and I watched them for a long time. The trainers seemed to have a good relationship with the whales, and the staff were all very nice. But after I got home, I watched a documentary about whale trainer Shao Ran and learned the story behind how these animals are transported to aquariums. I cried for a long time. There are many aquariums in China, and many parents bring their children, including me. But I was thinking about how the aquariums could make money. Yesterday, I even bought some beluga whale souvenirs, thinking the animals would get food too. But I think I was wrong. Because I don't know if, when a beluga whale circles and floats in its tiny tank in front of me, performing its show, it's truly smiling, nodding at me, and genuinely happy. In the quiet of the night, do you feel lonely? In that small pool, do you also yearn for the sea, for those places you can never return to… If we can only see them in documentaries in the future, I hope beluga whales can be free, in the vast ocean. Ocean Flower Island is very close to the sea, but they can never go back… I have no power alone, but I hope that fewer and fewer animals will be hunted and kept in zoos, and that more and more people will pay attention to the living conditions of animals in zoos.

Danzhou Dongpo Cultural Tourism Area

It is still a very good scenic spot. You can visit it when you go to Haihua Island. You can also learn about Su Dongpo's life. There are cruise ships in the scenic area, which are not expensive and convenient for the elderly with inconvenient legs and feet. It is very convenient to park and the parking fee is also very cheap.

Shihua Water Cave

A truly worthwhile trip to Danzhou! Shihua Water Cave boasts a myriad of stalactites in various shapes and sizes, as well as rare helictites and stone flowers—a delightful surprise at every turn. The cave is cool and pleasant, and the guided tours are engaging, offering both sightseeing and opportunities to learn about geology. With a guided tour leading the way, it's truly an underground art palace—definitely worth the trip!

Ocean Flower Island Springs Resort

It's huge. Since it's the off-season, only the Italian Pavilion and the Polar Hot Spring were open, but it already has over 20 kinds of hot springs. The facilities are new and the environment is beautiful. I hope to come back and experience the other four pavilions next time. I'm most looking forward to the Japanese and Thai pavilions; I want to get a spa treatment there.

Hainan Tropical Botanical Garden

Because some elderly people took the sightseeing bus, and it proved to be worthwhile—a fantastic experience! The guide and driver was a chubby, adorable local girl who knew a great deal about the various plants in the park. The entire park is perfect for walking; the air is incredibly fresh and the variety of plants is amazing, giving you a feeling of being in a forest yet still quite comfortable.

Danzhou Millennium Ancient Salt Field

There were a lot of people when we went there. Many people were eating in the rest area of ​​the scenic spot. There were many people selling salt-baked chicken and salt-baked eggs. The parking lot is quite large, but the salt fields can be seen in a few minutes.

Ocean Flower Island Botanic Garden

The bougainvillea field in the botanical garden is so beautiful. The fields of bougainvillea are very photogenic. There are also many plants that I have never seen before, with various flowers in bloom. With the intermittent rain, we spent several hours in it and took a lot of photos. Since there were not many people, it felt like we had the whole garden to ourselves, which was very worthwhile.
