The 2021-2022 golden tourism season of Changjiang Li Autonomous County is in
full swing and will conclude at the end of March. The tourism season consists
of a series of tourism and cultural activities themed "climbing mountains in
winter and appreciating flowers in spring".
Changjiang County is located in the west of China's Hainan Free Trade Port and
is known as "China's Kapok town". It has become a popular springtime
destination on Hainan Island for its gorgeous Kapok. Also, Changjiang County
has recently been awarded the title of "Hainan Forest City", according to The
Convergent Media Center of Changjiang County.
In Changjiang, visitors can appreciating the kapok flowers next to the Changhua
River and visiting the Bawangling Forest are musts, as well as mountain
climbing at the Nature Reserve. The series of attractions has become a
signature experience for those traveling in Changjiang in winter and spring.
Every Year from February to March, the picturesque scenery of mountains and
kapok woods along the Changhua River form what's called "The Ten-Mile Natural
Gallery". The Changhua River banks are transformed by a gorgeous kapok red. The
well-known Bawangling Forest Nature Reserve also adds brilliance to the
Changjiang scenery. Here, visitors can not only climb cliffs, trek in jungles,
trace the river's source and explore caves, but also appreciate the Hainan
gibbon, rarer even than the giant panda. Even 40 years ago, according to the
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, it was rated as "critically endangered",
and is thus nationally protected. Meanwhile, the beauty of Changjiang is
further reflected in its Blue Coastline, natural bathing beach, diverse
sea-erosion landforms, and special rock landscapes.
In addition to the unique beautiful natural scenery, Changjiang also boasts the
rich customs of Li villages. The Hongshui Village of Wangxia Town is a Li
ethnic group village which still retains the ancient boat house, known as the
"living fossil of Li culture". Its inhabitants weave Li brocades and make Li
pottery, both of which belong to the national intangible cultural heritage.
Li villages lay among the mountains and waters. Changjiang offers pure beauty,
as always. In recent years, relying on its abundant natural attractions and
cultural resources, Changjiang has created a full-region, all-season tourism
brand of "appreciating kapok flowers in spring, enjoying mango fragrance in
summer, visiting Chess Bay in autumn, and climbing Bawangling mountains in
winter", a slogan drawing more tourists to visit and explore Changjiang.
