Flight tickets as low as 200+, discovering a low-key small city in Hainan, Qingbu Liang for just eight yuan~
For a long period in October, flights from Shanghai to Hainan are only 200+, and it's the same in October, with tickets just two to three hundred yuan, you can take a trip to Haikou.
But Hainan isn't actually that hot during September and October, and with the prices for flights and hotels being so friendly, I've always felt that September and October are the best times to visit Hainan.
In recent years, Wanning in Hainan has transformed into an internet celebrity spot, and Wanning is indeed very photogenic. The Corona Bar at Riyue Bay is very 'feel' with just a casual snap, facing the sea and watching the surfers, waiting for the sunset. The water at Shimei Bay is super clear, and at noon, it's really a deadly blue.
Hainan is definitely a treasure province, with its beautiful sea, as well as the slow pace of life and especially fresh and rich cuisine. Among the many cities in Hainan, besides the popular Wanning, there are many cities with deserted but stunning beaches. Just find a seaside hotel at random, wear flip-flops and carry a surfboard to surf every day, life is really free and romantic.
Today, I want to share with you a very small city in Hainan—Danzhou. Maybe you haven't heard of Danzhou, but you must have heard of Su Shi—Su Dongpo. Danzhou is the place where Su Dongpo was exiled, and Danzhou's Dongpo Academy is also known as Hainan's 'first university'.
This is Danzhou, with a history of 2000 years.
It has a coastline of more than 200 kilometers, those undeveloped beaches, white and soft, fresh and natural seascapes are extremely romantic.
Moreover, it has a very rare volcanic coast in China, with large areas of reef beaches and dark volcanic lava combined with the sea to form a magnificent picture.
And the Yantian Village in Danzhou has perfectly preserved the oldest ancient salt field in China, with thousands of stone troughs neatly arranged on the beach, waiting for the sea water to surge in to produce white salt.
Danzhou's snacks have already been featured on 'Breakfast in China', it is a rather nostalgic city in Hainan. Those old shops that have been around for ten or twenty years are scattered throughout the streets and alleys, and the snacks that cost only a few yuan are everywhere. It can be said that there is no place in Hainan where the prices are lower than in Danzhou.
The unreplicable taste of Hainan is in Danzhou. Rice in soup, authentic charcoal stove with clay pot coconut chicken, delicious and inexpensive seafood stalls, and Huangpi feast, Danzhou's signature dishes are not to be underestimated, mainly because the prices are really irresistible.
Danzhou is not like other tourist cities in Hainan, it retains the most original cultural customs, and there are not many tourists. It takes just over 50 minutes by high-speed train from Haikou to Danzhou, carb lovers, glutinous fans, and seafood lovers, you can rush!
In Danzhou, the rice porridge that can be found everywhere in the streets and alleys is the nostalgia of the people of Danzhou, and the dry mixed rice noodles are incredibly refreshing to eat. Moreover, in Danzhou, 'everything can be made into a bun', pig intestine bun, white bun, fried radish bun, pot edge bun, not to mention pig lung soup, salt-baked chicken and other delicacies, you can dazzle for a week without repeating.
❤️ Eman Volcanic Coast—The Song of Water and Fire❗️
Wucai Bay, a poetic name. Here you can see ochre cliffs, green vegetation, yellow beaches, dark volcanic lava reefs, and the deep blue sea, five colors, composing the beauty of Wucai Bay. At the bottom of the cliff is the lava that flowed into the sea from a volcanic eruption🌋 long ago, where water and fire meet at the coast, leaving behind dark volcanic rocks🪨. This natural wonder is very suitable for aerial photography📸
⭐️ Longmen Surge, Longmen is actually a volcanic rock cave that is more than thirty meters high, 🌊 when the tide comes, the waves roll and hit Longmen. The terrain here is very difficult to navigate👣, and the tide is quite fierce, so be sure to pay attention to safety
⭐️ Lover's Bay: You can take a detour to see it. Wucai Bay, Lover's Bay, and Longmen Surge, these three places are very close to each other, 🚗 a 2-3 minute drive
⭐️ Dongpo's Former Residence: The former residence shows the life of Su Shi back then, with a strong cultural atmosphere. Take a tour around, and 'meet' Su Shi who is separated by a thousand years. You can hire a guide👩🏫 here, to better understand the significance of each part of the residence, otherwise it will feel similar to many other famous people's former residences🤣
🎨 Danzhou, although not very famous, does not hinder its beauty! If you want to experience a different Hainan scenery, come to Danzhou❗️
Hainan Millennium Salt Field is known as the earliest salt production field with sun exposure, retaining the intact original folk salt production process. There are more than 1,000 different shapes of the zi-shi-salt trough dense beach. There are still more than 30 salt workers in Yantian Village, which is a salt field that continues to work in an ancient way for more than 1,200 years every day.
The millennium salt field in Zhangzhou is located in the millennium salt field in Yantian Village, Yangpu Peninsula, Hainan, and is approved as a tourist attraction. According to the characteristics of the high temperature and hot sun on Hainan Island, the salt workers changed the past "cooking the sea as salt" method, and used the sun-dried beach sand to pour Shanghai water to filter, make brine with high salt content, and then pour the brine in the stone trough, and make it into salt bar by exposure to the sun. Because the salt taste here is fresh and has a variety of diseases, after the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty reported, the imperial book "Zhengde" was given to the salt field people. Hainan's thousand-year-old salt field is known as the earliest salt field to use sun, retaining the intact original folk salt production process of ancient salt field.

Thousands of salt-salted stone troughs are arranged in a spectacular way, walk to these stone salt troughs, visit these millennium cultural relics, to care, let alone deliberately trample, here does not charge tickets.
Very fun, I suggest you can come and see, there are antiques to watch
The ancient salt fields of the millennium are a major feature of Zhangzhou. After the precipitation of time, although the salt fields have no longer produced salt, the remaining monuments can still see the once brilliant appearance, those ancient and unique salt fields, become the most beautiful scenery of the coastal city!
The ancient salt field scenic spot can no longer directly step on the salt field. You can only watch the photos from a distance. The scenery is also good. Here you can learn the wisdom and creativity of the working people.
Been there, picturesque, the road is not easy to walk, it should be better in the past few years.
