About Hainan
Hainan forests
The island’s tropical forest is in the central highlands. The coast is a different landscape. Forest visits follow each reserve’s own gate and hours.
Names on the map
Wuzhishan is the usual visitor base. Bawangling, Jianfengling and Diaoluoshan are the other highland forests people ask for. None of them is a city park with night lighting.
Trails close for weather, fire risk and wildlife protection. A closed gate is the answer, not a suggestion to walk around it.
From a beach hotel
A forest day from Sanya or Haikou is a long return drive. Stay a night if you want morning in the trees.
Guides hired at the gate or through the hotel are the right way onto a less obvious path.
