Yalong Bay Tropical Rainforest Park – A Guide to Rainforest Wandering

Morning·Exploring the Depths Arrive at the West Gate by 6:30 AM and head straight to Longtan Gorge. Follow the stream to enjoy the morning mist over waterfalls and moss-covered stone steps alone, listening to egrets chirping in the mangroves while capturing serene forest-themed photos away from the crowds. Noon·Sea Views By 10:00 AM, climb to the Sea View Platform (not the viral glass walkway) and sit on the stone steps to admire the panoramic view of Yalong Bay. Peer through the coconut groves at the gradient hues of the glassy sea, enjoy a picnic with your own snacks, and spot squirrels foraging. Afternoon·Hidden Trails At 1:00 PM, take the trail north of Rose Valley, weaving through wild pineapple thickets and volcanic rock formations. Touch ancient lava traces from millions of years ago and rest on a moss-covered "root swing." Sunset·Mirror Lake By 4:00 PM, reach the "Silent Lake" (not the commercial Sky Mirror area). Step into the natural mirror-like pool reflecting the rainforest, and wait for the slanting light to capture dreamy silhouettes. > 🌿 Niche Tips > - Transport: Take Bus 30 to "Liupan Village Entrance," then walk 10 mins to the West Gate (less crowded). > - Gear: Non-slip water shoes + mosquito repellent (trails are slippery). > - Hidden Spot: An abandoned watchtower 300m east of the Sea View Platform hides ancient flame tree groves. #Yuchuan Seaview Hotel #Sanya Travel Hotspots #Sanya Viral Hotels #Sanya Homestays
