Things to do in Wenchang

Tongguling's main peak rises to 338 meters, earning it the title of "Highest Peak in Eastern Hainan." Standing atop the summit, the breeze is refreshing, and the panoramic views are spectacular—countless waves crashing against the shore in the bay! You can also enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding fields. Overall, it's well worth a visit! Reminder: It's highly recommended to take the park shuttle bus for both the ascent and descent; it makes the climb much easier, and the ticket price is well worth it.

It was just WOW! 🤩 Once in a lifetime experience which I ll never forget. The earth trembles underfoot so much that the whole body vibrates... the rocket makes sounds similar to a "thermonuclear explosion", a pillar of fire breaks out of the nozzles, and everything around is enveloped with smoke.And here you are standing with your heart stopping and watching something created by man - in fact a small particle of our huge universe - flies beyond this planet somewhere into the space 🚀 And then you realise that you became a part of Chinese Astronautics history and witnessed a historical success!👊🏻💪🏼

This is a less-visited spot, just around the corner after visiting Tongguling, but it was a pleasant surprise – incredibly photogenic! I recommend buying a ticket for the sightseeing bus; it's much more comfortable than walking under the blazing sun, and you'll save more energy for taking pictures. The scenery is fantastic, with distant views of the launch site and close-up views of the filming locations for the 1986 TV series "Journey to the West." Enough talk, here are the pictures.

The place isn't big, but it's quite interesting to stroll around (watch out for the steps!). Seeing everyone's prayers for reading can bring a smile to your face. Turn left after exiting, and there's a coconut vendor selling two for 10 yuan—what a bargain!

As a red education base, it's estimated that not many tourists visit on their own. During our visit, a sudden thunderstorm occurred, which happened right when we were visiting the ancestral home. It seems that Mr. Song wanted us to stay a little longer.

In short: Wenchang Dongjiao Town boasts China's largest contiguous coastal coconut grove, an original ecological coconut-scented fishing village, free admission, a leisurely stroll, cycling, coconut chicken, and sunset views; not suitable for swimming or water activities. "Hainan's coconuts are half Wenchang, and Dongjiao's coconut groves are the most scenic"—Wenchang Dongjiao Town, just across the Qinglan Bridge; stretching for ten miles along the coast, with hundreds of thousands of native coconut trees, some leaning, some winding, coconut-lined paths combined with fishing villages and harbors, it's not a fancy bathing beach, but the most authentic and original Hainan coconut breeze and seascape, a traditional, slow-paced lifestyle. Highlights: 1. A secluded coconut grove, perfect for cycling and leisurely strolls: Coconut trees provide ample shade, creating dappled sunlight; rent electric scooters/bicycles to wander along coconut grove paths, stopping to take photos at your leisure; aerial photography is incredibly therapeutic; the leaning coconut trees and seaside swings around the Bailaima Resort area are classic photo spots (reminiscent of the filming location for "Youth"). 2. A pristine fishing village and harbor sunset: mudflats, fishing boats, and opportunities to go beachcombing at low tide; excellent for watching the sunset, facing west towards the sea, with stunning silhouettes of coconut trees; the seawater is murky and the waves are large, swimming is not recommended. 3. Authentic coconut cuisine: Freshly opened green coconuts for 8-12 yuan; must-try dishes include coconut milk, coconut chicken, coconut rice, and seafood; the farmhouse atmosphere under the coconut trees is delightful. 4. Quiet and less commercialized: Not a popular, crowded area, allowing you to return to the rustic charm of a fishing village; the No. 1 viewing platform also offers a distant view of the Wenchang Space Launch Center silhouette.

I researched rocket launch strategies for a long time. I had seen the launch from the hotel rooftop before, but the view was still obstructed, so this time I chose the viewing platform. There were a lot of people that day, and the traffic was already very congested when we arrived two hours early. The rooftop had a good view, but it was very sunny. However, you can actually see the entire flat area. Personally, I don't think it's necessary to wait in the sun in the front row. There was also an explanation program on the first floor, and it wasn't hot there.

This place is a place I want to recommend but don't want to recommend! Because I'm really afraid that there will be too many people next time I come and I won't be able to see such a clean and beautiful bay again! It's under the Luneng Hilton Hotel and the location is easy to find

This is my second visit to Wenchang Wenan Old Street. It's almost exactly the same as my first visit five years ago—absolutely beautiful, exactly how I envisioned arcade buildings should look. The weather was perfect; the combination of blue sky and sunshine was the ideal for taking beautiful photos of the old street. At night, the lights create a blue-toned atmosphere reminiscent of the Republic of China era, but the daytime views are still clearer. Wenan Old Street is quite long, but only the few hundred meters west of "Wangcheng Baoluo Rice Noodles" retain its original charm. Beyond that, the preservation is less perfect. The red louvered windows, probably added later, blend in seamlessly and have become an important landmark of Wenan Old Street. The addition of the "Wenchang Pavilion" and some sculptures along the river makes maintaining the old street extremely difficult. As a core commercial street accessible by car, some parts are already damaged to some extent, making comprehensive restoration urgent. Enjoy it while you can, and see it as much as possible.

木兰湾是海南岛的最北点，骑行海南环岛专门来这里打卡。远远的就可以先看到高高耸立的木兰灯塔，像擎天柱一般在天海之间。到达灯塔可以远眺碧蓝的大海，心旷神怡，附近有超市，咖啡车等，很适合休闲拍照。
