Diaoluo Mountain Forest Park is one of the four original forest parks in Hainan. With a total area of 379 square kilometers and an annual average temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius, it is a great place to escape the heat. There are numerous natural landscapes here, including giant trees and ancient woods, beautiful lakes and mountains, and more than a hundred waterfalls. Among them, the Fengguoshu Waterfall Group is particularly famous, with a drop of 350 meters, which is very spectacular. There are also scenic spots such as Xiaomei Lake, the Tomb of the Miao King, and Dali Waterfall in the scenic area. Generally, a visit to Diaoluo Mountain National Forest Park can be completed on the same day. If time is not enough, you can also stay overnight at a resort on the mountain. Due to the primitive scenery and the large number of mosquitoes in the mountains and forests, it is recommended to be accompanied by staff in the scenic area or go with experienced hikers when visiting. There is an 800-meter rainforest plank road at the back mountain. Along the way, there is unlimited primitive scenery. At the end, you can see a ‘sacred tree’, which is also a famous scenic spot in the scenic area. It is said to have a history of 3000 years.
