Nanwan Monkey Island Ecological Tourism Area is located approximately 14 kilometers south of Lingshui County, Hainan Province, on the Nanwan Peninsula. It is nestled between mountains and waters, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with a slender shape and a total area of 10.2 square kilometers, featuring 12 undulating hills. The island boasts countless caves and peculiar rocks.
Nanwan Monkey Island is rich in flora and fauna, with a forest coverage rate of 95%, making it an ecological treasure. The island is covered with dense broadleaf forests and shrub jungles, with fragrant flowers and fruits all year round, beautiful scenery, and a pleasant climate. Nearly 1,500 lively and adorable macaques, a national second-class protected animal, inhabit the island. Nanwan Monkey Island is the only tropical island-type macaque nature reserve in China and globally.
The Nanwan Monkey Island Ecological Tourism Area includes two parts: Monkey Island Park and Dai Dai Island. A 2,138-meter long cross-sea sightseeing cableway connects the mysterious Nanwan Monkey Island, the charming tropical harbor, the rich ‘Dan Family folk customs’, and the bustling fishing port scenery. Riding the cable car over the sea, visitors can overlook the harbor with a thousand sails competing and fish farms standing densely; bathed in the cool sea breeze, visitors can gaze at the distant clean and charming beaches and the graceful coconut forests swaying in the wind, observe the white clouds dotting the blue sky, and see the sea and sky merging at the horizon, with pleasant scenery that leaves a lasting impression.
