Mingfeng Valley
鸣凤谷
A rainforest gully west of Tianchi, where wooden boardwalks wind among buttress roots, strangler plants, and epiphytes, with birdsong all around.
Mingfeng Valley lies about 2 km west of Tianchi and is Jianfengling’s most representative tropical rainforest trail. Wooden boardwalks and stone steps follow the valley stream, offering close views of buttress roots, cauliflory, strangler figs, lianas, and epiphytic orchids. It is also a spot where birdwatchers look for birds found only in Hainan. The full route takes about 2–3 hours. The path is slippery, so wear non-slip shoes and watch out for leeches. The trail was closed for repairs in recent years, so check with the scenic area about current access before you set out.
