Hidden deep in Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County lies a tropical paradise straight out of a fantasy novel: Qixianling National Park, aka the Seven Fairy-Lady Mountain 🌄. Named after a local legend of seven celestial sisters, this lush wonderland combines steaming hot springs, misty rainforests, and jagged limestone peaks that glow gold at sunrise.
📍 Located in southern Hainan Province, the park has been protected since 1998 as a national forest treasure. Wander through 20+ square kilometers of biodiversity where rare orchids bloom and monkeys chatter overhead. Pro tip: The natural hot springs (a balmy 93°F year-round!) are perfect after hiking the 「Seven Fairy Summit Trail」.
🧚 Why the hype? Beyond Instagram-worthy vistas, the site holds deep cultural significance for the Li ethnic group. Local guides share folktales of the mountain’s divine origins – some say you can still hear the fairies’ laughter in the rustling palm trees.
✈️ Adventure alert: With new eco-friendly resorts opening nearby, this off-the-radar gem is becoming a must-visit for travelers craving authentic experiences. Pack your hiking boots and a sense of wonder!
