Here you can find the best coconut drink in Hainan! Wenchang coconuts account for half of Hainan's coconuts, and Dongjiao coconuts account for half of Wenchang's
Hainan produces about 250 million coconuts a year
Wenchang accounts for the majority
It is said
Wenchang coconuts account for half of Hainan, and Dongjiao coconuts account for half of Wenchang
Although there are coconuts everywhere in Wenchang
I still want to go to Dongjiao Coconut Grove to see
In search of the best coconut drink in Hainan
A trip to Dongjiao Coconut Grove is a must
-
Navigate to 'Dongjiao Coconut Grove'
Upon arrival, I found it was actually the entrance to Hainan Bailaima Resort
There are stalls selling Qingbuliang, coconuts, coconut chips, and other snacks at the entrance
Just walk into the resort and you'll reach Coconut Grove Bay
Coconut groves, beaches, hammocks, piers, pavilions, and a few other facilities such as restrooms
It looks like it's not well-maintained
That's why many people feel disappointed when they come here
But that's because you don't know how to enjoy it!
-
With the coconut grove at your back and facing the sea
Buy a coconut for 6 yuan, find a hammock to rest
Thick flesh, delicious taste, clear and sweet
It's incredibly pleasant
There are also many little wooden houses hidden in the coconut grove
Great for photography with a Southeast Asian feel, and aerial shots are impressive
-
Moreover
If you don't want to be disappointed
Don't just stick to the destination on the navigation
Dongjiao Coconut Grove is actually a general term for a large area
The surrounding area is all coconut groves
Aerial views show an endless expanse
It is said that there are over 500,000 coconut trees including red coconuts, green coconuts, good varieties of dwarf coconuts, tall coconuts, and water coconuts
Driving through the coconut grove
Stop whenever you see something interesting, the experience is great
-
Across the road from the resort, on the right
A straight cement road leads to the coconut grove
It's also a niche spot for Instagram-worthy photos
Deep in the coconut grove is also very photogenic
‼️Be sure to do a good job with mosquito repellent
-
The coastline is 32 kilometers long
Various beach sports and water activities can be carried out
-
🥥🥘🏡Food, drink, and accommodation
💰Reference prices: Qingbuliang 10 yuan, coconut 6 yuan, red coconut 8 yuan, coconut cake 3 yuan
✅Nearby food:
1⃣️Locals in Wenchang recommend 'Ye Bu Er Farmhouse Dishes' for coconut milk stewed chicken and braised chicken.
2⃣️Matou Laoba Tea: The environment is the winning factor, under the coconut grove, by the sea, overlooking the Qinglan Bridge, with naturally beautiful scenery. Spend a leisurely time having morning or afternoon tea
🏡Accommodation: Inside Dongjiao Coconut Grove, Gaolong Bay Platinum Beach, Wenchang city area, there are many choices
-
📍Navigation: Dongjiao Coconut Grove
📍Address: Yelin Road, Seaside Peninsula, Dongjiao Town, Wenchang City, Hainan Province, just past Qinglan Bridge
💰Ticket: Free
⏰Tour time: 1h
🚗Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. Resort parking fee 10-20 yuan. Other places are free
😘Nearby recommendations: Matou Laoba Tea House (15min by car), Gaolong Bay Beach/Sea Library (30min by car), Wennan Old Street (30min by car)
Beaches, sunshine, waves, coconuts – Dongjiao Coconut Grove
The Dongjiao Coconut Grove scenic area is located along a ten-mile stretch of coastline, where lush coconut groves form an endless green belt, serving as a natural green barrier along the coast. With the coconut breeze and the charm of the sea, you can taste fresh coconut juice, stroll along the beach, and enjoy the most beautiful life.
If you drive here, you can park your car by the roadside of the scenic area, walk in, and save ten yuan on parking fees. In fact, there's not much to see in the scenic area itself; coconut groves and beaches along the roadside are everywhere, and you can stop at any time to enjoy them. There are free viewing platforms built along the roadside, hehe.
Dongjiao Coconut Grove Scenic Area
Wenchang coconuts cover half of Hainan, and the coconut groves in the eastern suburbs are the most scenic
📍Detailed address:
Scenic Area of Coconut Groves in the Eastern Suburbs of Wenchang, Hainan, on County Road 185
🚉Transportation strategy:
Due to its remote location, it is suitable for self-driving. When you see a large expanse of coconut groves, you have already arrived. There are many patches of coconut groves where you can check in and visit. On the contrary, there are not many coconut groves by the seaside, and the tourists are concentrated, so you can choose not to go there
🌟Highlights and features:
Little known fact, almost all of the large coconut groves on Hainan Island are concentrated in Wenchang, which is also a paradise for coconuts, giving rise to a large coconut industry. For example, the famous Chun Guang Food Factory is located here. Many people online say that the Eastern Suburbs Coconut Grove is not worth visiting, but in my personal opinion, I highly recommend it. The coconut groves here are almost all tall coconut varieties, with coconut trees reaching more than ten meters high everywhere, which require specialized personnel wearing knife shoes to climb up for harvesting. The coconut groves are dense, and occasionally you can see some lush tropical plants, giving you the feeling of traveling through a primitive jungle. Almost every coconut tree trunk has some characters on it. I specifically asked the coconut stall owner, and it turns out that these old coconut trees have been around for decades. In order for the next generation to inherit and identify their own coconut trees, they have marked the trees. The coconut stalls by the road are simply a sight of coconut fruits en masse, and the coconuts sold at ten yuan for three are really cost-effective to drink. The characteristic of Hainan's coconuts is that they are sour, sweet, and full of water, and generally, the coconut meat is not eaten. After the stall owner opens them, they feed the free-range chickens, which is why Wenchang chicken tastes so good, as they are raised on coconut meat. The local customs are simple and leisurely, and it is common to see hammocks tied to coconut trees. In their spare time, people lie down to enjoy the slow life, which is the life I aspire to.

Wen Nan Old Street, perfect for a leisurely solo stroll: the original flavor of the overseas Chinese hometown, with a Southeast Asian charm
📓 Wen Nan Old Street in Wenchang is even more historic than the arcade streets in Haikou, and it's better preserved in its original state. It's not overly commercialized and is the third largest arcade street in Hainan.
Although it appears somewhat worn due to the lack of extensive maintenance, it perfectly retains the original flavor of the Southeast Asian-style arcades that were built around 1920, embodying the historical vicissitudes and the exquisite original architecture~ The balustrades with carved flowers, three-dimensional window lintels, red windows with colored glass, and wooden louvers... one can imagine how prosperous it once was. Taking photos here also evokes a sense of nostalgia, as if stepping into a bygone era, almost as if time has reversed.
⛩️ Aside from the occasional motorcycles and a few cars that break the usual tranquility of Wen Nan Old Street, there are many simple shops run by locals on the ground floor of the arcades on both sides, and the second and third floors are still inhabited by locals. Watching them drink tea and chat, full of the flavor of everyday life, offers a true reflection of life on the old street, and it's worth taking a closer look and capturing the moments. There's a saying among the locals in Wenchang: 'You haven't really visited Wenchang if you haven't strolled through Wen Nan Old Street.'
❤️ Warm tips:
a. Be mindful of the motorcycles 🏍 when taking photos, safety first.
b. Wen Nan Old Street is open all year round for free visits, with no admission fee.
c. After your visit, avoid dining within a 500-meter radius where they serve so-called Wenchang chicken. If you like, you can dine in the local restaurants in the city center that the locals frequent for an authentic experience.
🕹 Address: Intersection of Chengxin Li and Wen Nan Road, Wenchang City, Hainan
🚌 Transportation: Take bus 6 or 8 to Wencheng Health Clinic Station, then walk 350 meters to reach Wen Nan Old Street. If driving, navigate to Wen Nan Old Street for free parking spots.
Strolling through Wen Nan Old Street, experiencing the Nanyang style
From Boao, it takes an hour's drive to Wen Nan Old Street in the old city of Wenchang. Wen Nan Old Street is one of the three representative old streets in Hainan. Although it is not as large and famous as Haikou Old Street, it has a stronger sense of history and life. The arcade old street with Nanyang style is built along the river. The first floor is various shops, with people coming and going, bustling. The upstairs is uniformly renovated into red window edges, which are old but not dilapidated. The old street is suitable for strolling. The daylight is sufficient, and the Nanyang-style arcade is easy to take pictures. The shops along the river are mostly small restaurants and snack bars. The trees are shady. If you are tired, you can choose a riverside snack bar to taste local delicacies. There is a banyan tree alley at the entrance of the old street, which is also suitable for taking pictures.

Tonggu Mountain Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
If you ask me where the most unforgettable seascape in Hainan is, it must be here!
After driving around Hainan, I realized:
1️⃣ The cleanest and clearest sea is not in Sanya, but in Lingshui's Qingshui Bay, where there are many props for photo taking, all for free. 📸
2️⃣ The most stunning seascape is not in Lingshui, but in Wenchang City's Tongguling, where a mountain rises abruptly from the plain, offering a broad view and an endless horizon, especially the continuous coastline is too shocking, it is the one in the cover photo, I personally highly recommend everyone to visit here.
3️⃣ The most romantic lighthouse is by the seaside in Wanning, where it's not as crowded as Sanya, and the beach is more comfortable and quiet. 🌠
4️⃣ As for the Dongjiao coconut grove, it is quite large, the cheapest coconut there is 4 yuan each, but there isn't too much particularly beautiful scenery, maybe we just didn't visit at the right time, or maybe it looks better at dusk. 🏝

Tongguling Scenic Area
Transportation: Both Tour Bus 1 and Tour Bus 2 can get you there, with Tongguling being the final stop.
Visiting Tongguling: Purchase tickets online one hour in advance for 45 RMB per person, children's tickets (over 1.2 meters) for 25 RMB per person. The sightseeing car tickets are bought on-site, we only bought a one-way ticket up the mountain for 25 RMB per person, a round trip is 45 RMB per person. After the sightseeing car reaches its final stop, you need to walk a few minutes on the trail. The scenery at the mountain top is beautiful, but it's also crowded, and you need to queue for photos. After our visit, we walked down the mountain, taking breaks and photos at the check-in spots, and there were free telescopes available.
Regarding food: There are not many dining options inside the Tongguling Scenic Area, it's best to bring your own dry food and water. There is a small supermarket at the mountain top with limited choices. To the right of the restrooms inside the scenic area, there is food for sale, beef brisket rice for 35 RMB (which I didn't buy). At the entrance of the scenic area, they sell instant noodles (8 RMB per bowl, they'll help you prepare it), green coconuts for 8 RMB each, red coconuts for 10 RMB, which is a fair price. There are more food options in the Stone Park, but the prices are somewhat higher.
Address: East side of Tongguling North Road, Longlou Town, Wenchang City, Hainan Province

Hainan Ten-Day Tour
First stop of the Hainan ten-day tour is Wenchang, where we first visit the popular Mulan Bay Windmill Coast. Mulan Bay is a coastline stretching over ten kilometers, starting from the northernmost point of Hainan Island, Mulan Head. Here, you can find Asia's first lighthouse, a windmill coast stretching over ten kilometers, with more than 30 giant windmills lined up along the coastline. The towering windmills perfectly blend with the soft coastline, forming a magnificent windmill matrix that stretches for several kilometers. The blue sky, the sea, and the white giant windmills create a beautiful beach scene, where modern industry and natural scenery perfectly blend, making one feel as if they are in a sci-fi world.
For lunch, we head to Dongjiao Coconut Grove for coconut milk chicken. Along the Jianhua Mountain coastline that stretches for ten miles, lush coconut groves form an endless forest belt, a natural green barrier along the coastline. Known as 'half of Hainan's coconuts are from Wenchang. Dongjiao Coconut Grove has the best scenery.' Coconut milk chicken, as the name suggests, is chicken stewed in coconut milk. The chicken soup is milky white, with oil floating on top, extremely pure! The chicken meat, without any additives, retains its original color, even a bit white. The chicken is tender and full of milk flavor, not too salty or bland, perfectly combining the essence of coconut milk and chicken, bringing out the original taste of the chicken! The oil in the soup is not salad oil, but a combination of coconut oil and chicken oil, which tastes particularly fragrant and fresh. According to customer needs, vegetables and vermicelli can be blanched in the soup. The price is not expensive, four people eat, each person spends more than forty yuan.
After the meal, we head to Tongguling. Tongguling is a famous mountain in Hainan, known as the 'first peak of the east of Qiong'. It seems to only have a main peak of 338 meters above sea level, but it is actually accompanied by 18 peaks of different sizes. The peaks compete for beauty, with layers of greenery. The picturesque Tongguling is an international ecological tourism area.
Take a sightseeing car to the end station and then climb up the stone steps to reach the open-view Moon-Viewing Platform, where you can take in the 'one river, two bays, thousand miles of green forest' landscape formed by Moon Bay, Qishui Bay, Baoling River, Baoling Port, and the mangrove wetland. On the granite sea-viewing promenade of the ancient city wall, you can let your mind fly. You can overlook the vast South China Sea and also closely observe the undulating mountains of Tongguling. The dense green vegetation under the sea-viewing promenade is China's only tropical evergreen rain dwarf forest ecosystem.
In the evening, we head to Stone Park to watch the rocket launch site from a distance and wait for the sunset. Stone Park is located in Longlou Town, Wenchang City, Hainan Province, with Tongguling as the center. It is the easternmost corner of Hainan. The park stretches along the sea for 2 kilometers. It is a stone that was uplifted from the earth's surface millions of years ago during the orogeny, and has been sculpted and weathered by the tide over the long years to form a marine erosion landform. There are variously shaped boulders here, some like dinosaurs, some like sea turtles, and some like ancient apes. There are also scattered granite and uniformly shaped pebbles. Standing on the boulder overlooking the sea in the afterglow of the setting sun, one can't help but feel the heroic spirit of Cao Cao's short song line watching the sea.

Are you tired of Sanya and Haikou in Hainan? Wenchang Mulan Bay is worth a visit
🏝 When it comes to Hainan, everyone knows about the beaches in Haikou and Sanya, but actually, the entire island of Hainan, surrounded by the sea, has many attractions, such as Mulan Bay in Wenchang, which is a very beautiful spot.
We drove there from Haikou, and the normal driving time is about an hour. Traffic jams mainly occur on the bridge, but once off the bridge, traffic returns to normal.
🚉 Travel Tips:
🏖 You can take the coastal highway 🛤, the whole way is scenic. When you see a spot where you want to stop, just park the car on the side and go have fun, it's quite convenient. There are many beautiful views to enjoy along the way.
🌟 Highlights:
⛱️ The beach near the Mulan Bay Lighthouse is very clean, and the fishy smell of the sea is not very strong. The sand is fine and soft, and the sea water is also very clean without too many impurities, so everyone can feel at ease to go wading. It's photogenic no matter where you snap a picture.
👍 Most Recommended:
🚗 There is also the Car Zai Coffee ☕ by the seaside for those who drive around the island. They serve early C and late A, and having a cup of coffee facing the sea, spacing out for a while, feels quite pleasant!

It is a stone that was uplifted from the earth's surface millions of years ago during the orogeny, and has been sculpted and weathered by the tide over the long years to form a marine erosion landform. There are variously shaped boulders here, some like dinosaurs, some like sea turtles, and some like ancient apes. There are also scattered granite and uniformly shaped pebbles. Standing on the boulder overlooking the sea in the afterglow of the setting sun, one can't help but feel the heroic spirit of Cao Cao's short song line watching the sea.
