Diaoluoshan National Forest Park
吊罗山国家森林公园
Tropical rainforest in northern Lingshui, part of Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, with Fengguo Mountain Waterfall, rainforest boardwalks and mountain cloud seas. A good place for summer hiking.
Diaoluo Mountain lies at the junction of Lingshui, Baoting and Qiongzhong, about 50 km from Lingshui county town. Its highest peak is about 1,500 metres above sea level, and it is part of Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park. The forest park has well-preserved tropical rainforest. Along the trails you can see wonders of the rainforest, such as giant buttress roots, strangler figs and cauliflory. In the rainy season, multi-tier waterfalls such as the Fengguo Mountain Waterfall and the Nanxi Waterfall are spectacular. Clouds often gather around the summit, and it is much cooler in summer than on the coast. Admission prices are set on the spot. The mountain roads have many bends, so people usually drive themselves or hire a car to get there. Some areas have accommodation. The mountain is wet and slippery, and there are leeches, so wear non-slip shoes and take insect precautions. The coordinates are for the mountain body of Diaoluo.
