Wenchang Tonggu Ridge | The Mountain-Sea Secret Realm of "Hainan's Eastern Peak"

Tonggu Ridge, with its main peak at 338 meters above sea level, is the easternmost coastal mountain on Hainan Island, renowned as the "Eastern Hainan's First Peak." The scenic area centers around "One Ridge, Two Parks" (Tonggu Ridge, Mangrove Ecological Park, and Stone Park), integrating eight natural resources: mountains, sea, forests, rocks, beaches, rivers, lakes, and islands, while blending Fubo culture, marine culture, ecological culture, and aerospace observation features. Hike to the summit via the winding mountain road or hiking trail to overlook the crescent-shaped coastline of Moon Bay and gaze at the Qizhou Islands scattered like pearls on the sea. 【Must-Visit Attractions】 • **Wind-Rock**: Perched beside the mountaintop viewing platform, this iconic boulder sways in the wind but never topples. • **Stone Park**: A millennia-old sea-eroded landscape with basalt boulders of unique shapes, offering one of the best vantage points to observe Wenchang's rocket launches. • **Mangrove Ecological Park**: A pristine wetland sheltering rare species like macaques and pangolins, with over 900 plant varieties. • **Moon Bay**: A 25-km crescent beach with strikingly layered seawater colors (deep blue, golden yellow, and purplish-red near shore), perfect for sunrise/sunset photography and seaside strolls. • **Yunlong Bay**: A pristine cove rich in coral reefs, ideal for snorkeling and eco-exploration, dubbed the "Virgin Sea." 【Itinerary】 Tonggu Ridge Eco-Tourism Entrance → Hiking Trail → Tongguzui Cape → Oceanview Boardwalk → Seafood Lunch in Longlou Town → Moon Bay (free) → Stone Park (free) → Aerospace Viewing Deck (near Longlou's Hilton Hotel) → Sunset at Yunwu Ridge (17:30-18:30) → Return 【Tips】 ① **Tickets & Hours**: Adult tickets from ¥45 (includes main peak); shuttle bus round-trip ¥30.
