Ocean Flower Island is large. Oubao is large. The beach is beautiful. The light show is great. The water park is thrilling. Beluga whales are a favorite at the Ocean Park. For travel, take the train or drive. Duration: 3 days and 2 nights recommended. Perfect for a vacation with children and the elderly, and perfect for young people to take photos and check in! There are plenty of family activities, and there are fireworks during festivals.
A must-visit place!
[Large Area] It's truly huge, and walking alone isn't feasible. We recommend driving or taking the island's sightseeing train!
[Highly Recommended Attractions] Ocean Park, Water Park, and Twin Beaches

Stepping into the cave is like entering a magical realm, where stalactites resemble a dream and the light and shadows mesmerize you.
The scenery inside the cave is breathtaking, with a myriad of strangely shaped rocks, creating a sense of otherworldliness.
Quietly appreciating the wondrous scenery, time slows down, and both body and mind find solace and tranquility.
- Stone Flower Wonders: The stone flowers within the cave cover an area of 3,500 square meters. They are flawless white, crystal clear, and come in a wide variety of shapes.
- Stalactites and Stalagmites: Stalactites, stalagmites, and pillars are in a variety of shapes. Some cascade from the cave ceiling like waterfalls, others rise from the ground like trees, and still others resemble lotus flowers, human figures, elephants, and phoenixes, all vividly depicted.

There were few people, but the car tour still had explanations. The garden is very old and it happened to be the flowering period of Thai cycads, but the trees were too tall and no female plants were found. After half a day of walking around, I found a hairy dragon and a willow-leaf sparrow by the water before leaving. It was a small happiness.
It is worth going. The ticket price is 26 yuan per person for adults, 13 yuan per person for discount tickets, and free tickets for soldiers and veterans. It is very cost-effective. It is also a national research and study education base for primary and secondary school students. In 1960, Premier Zhou Enlai also wrote a poem for this place: "Establishing a career in Danzhou, taking root in Treasure Island". Many tropical plants are introduced here, including the national first-level protected plant Polu and the national second-level protected plants Tieling and Tuxiang.

For the sixth year, I spent the winter in the south-central coast of Baimajing Town, Danzhou City, Hainan Province, and took the bus to check in at various scenic spots in Yangpu Economic Development Zone. I came to the Danzhou Millennium Ancient Salt Field, a national key cultural relic protection unit, again. Yangpu Salt Field is located on the beach 100 meters southeast of Yantian Village, Xiantang Community, Xinying Bay District, Yangpu. It was built in the early Northern Song Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,200 years. It is the earliest sun-dried salt-making site in my country and the last ancient salt field in my country that retains the original sun-dried salt-making method. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, salt workers such as Tan Zhengde, the ancestor of Yantian Village, went south from Putian, Fujian to Yangpu Peninsula to enjoy salt production. According to local conditions, local volcanic rocks were used to chisel stone salt troughs, dig salt fields, and build salt ponds, changing the previous salt-making method of "boiling the sea for salt" and creating a precedent for "sun-dried salt making". The salt field covers an area of about 750 acres, with reservoirs, salt fields, salt ponds, brine pools and stone salt troughs. Among them, reservoirs, salt fields and brine pools are scattered and of different sizes. The salt pond is a pit dug in the salt field, and the bottom is covered with mats woven from fine bamboo or grass. Similar to a filter net, the salt pond is about 3 meters long, 2 meters wide and 1 meter deep. More than 7,300 inkstone-style stone salt troughs are irregularly round, with a large trough diameter of about 12 meters and a small trough diameter of about 0.3 meters. The salt troughs generally have edges to prevent the brine from flowing out.
Yangpu Salt Field is an important carrier and strong support for local economic and social development and cultural construction, and provides precious physical materials for studying the history of salt industry development in Hainan and China.
[Scenery] Sea Salt Field
[Fun] Learn about the ancient method of making sea salt
[Cost-effectiveness] High
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.
