    "Wanning Dongshanling, just a few kilometers away from Wanning City, is known as the first mountain in Hainan. Take the battery car to the mountainside, climb a steep slope of 180 meters to the top of the mountain, see the not beautiful sea, and then return to the parking place of the battery car in the middle of the mountain. Don't take the battery car down the mountain again. Instead, it should follow the direction of Chaoyin Temple to go down the mountain. The cliff stone carvings on both sides of the downhill trail are the real valuable places in Dongshanling, and the Chaoyin Temple built in the Tang Dynasty is also the reason why Dongshanling became the first mountain in Hainan."

Some of them look like boats, while other appear to be flying eagles. Each and every one appears true to life. The Buddhist culture of Dongshan Ridge has a long history. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, temples were built here. The Chaoyin Temple is a very popular site which was built to commemorate Li Gang—the Anti-Jin revolutionary of the Southern Song Dynasty.
