Where Myth Meets Tropical Paradise
Imagine a place where mist-clad peaks rise like ancient sentinels, hot springs bubble under emerald canopies, and legends of celestial beings linger in the air. Welcome to Qixianling (Seven Fairy-Lady Mountain), a breathtaking national park in Hainan’s Baoting County! 🏞️
🌺 A Cultural & Natural Treasure
Nestled in the Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County, this lush wonderland is more than just Instagram-worthy views. The mountain’s name stems from a local Li ethnic legend about seven fairy maidens—stories that echo through its seven majestic peaks. For adventurers, its rainforest trails and therapeutic hot springs are a siren call.
Why It’s a Must-Visit
Designated a national forest park in 1998, Qixianling blends biodiversity with cultural heritage. Think Jurassic Park vibes (minus the dinosaurs) with over 1,500 plant species and rare wildlife. Pro tip: Hike to the summit at dawn—the sea of clouds is straight out of a fantasy movie! 🌄
Local Flavor
Don’t miss the chance to connect with Li and Miao communities nearby. Their vibrant traditions, handicrafts, and cuisine add soul to the mountain’s natural beauty. 🍃✨
