If you scroll through your feed, you might have spotted jaw-dropping shots of towering stone peaks set against tropical greenery. That's Xian'an Stone Forest in Baoting County, Hainan Province—mainland China's only low-altitude tropical island province 🌴⛰️.
In recent years, Baoting has been harnessing this karst gem to pioneer an integrated cultural-tourism model. Visitors don't just snap pretty pics—they dive into Li ethnic experiences like:
- Li brocade weaving 🧶
- Bamboo pole dancing 🥁
- Festive ceremonies during traditional holidays 🎉
This nature + culture approach makes Xian'an Stone Forest a new benchmark in Hainan's tourism scene. Epic landscapes meet community-driven cultural preservation for a truly authentic escape.
So next time you need a weekend recharge, add some karst magic and Li heritage to your travel list—it's the ultimate nature + culture combo 💫
