Lingao Cape
临高角
A headland at the northwest tip of Hainan Island, home to a century-old lighthouse and a memorial park for the 1950 landing during the liberation of Hainan. The sunsets over the sea are beautiful.
Lingao Cape lies north of the Lingao county seat, jutting into the Qiongzhou Strait. During the 1950 Battle for the Liberation of Hainan Island, People's Liberation Army forces landed here. Today the site has the Lingao Cape Liberation Park and a landing memorial sculpture. The Lingao Cape Lighthouse on the headland was built in the late Qing dynasty and is one of Hainan's oldest lighthouses. Reefs and sandy beaches alternate along the coast, and the evening sunset is the best time to visit. The park is free to enter. It is about 1 hour by car from Haikou and can be combined with Fushan Coffee Town in one day.
