its a fine park with surprisingly the freedom to roam. You need to be in a vehicle to pass the border gate and its about 2okm to the plateau. Nights are cold even in tropical Hainan at this height. There are some "farm" restaurants but no shops and no public transport in the park. Vegetation is being cut mercilessly for coffee plantations etc and water is stolen very visibly from the streams for irrigation. Less visible is bird-poaching with shooting platforms hidden in the bush and large mammal pits (for bears?) Hard to see the authorities are not aware of this situation. Instead they construct eco-disaster tourist "sights" like the ridiculous steps surrounding an old tree. There is a charge to enter the park that nobody seems to pay....

If you don't want to do the touristy sites while in Hainan, and provided you have a car - a car is an absolute prerequisite to come here - this is a refreshing getaway from the crowds. It's a huge park with many different points of interest. We only had time to climb the highest peak, an hour's climb of 1800m. It was tiring but worth it, with a viewing platform up in the clouds. The weather changes very quickly, and we got drenched - after all, this is a RAIN forest - but the rain and sun created a beautiful rainbow. Tickets cost 60 yuan per person, and you could spend a whole day here seeing all the scenic spots. Remember that you need a car. It's impossible to walk the park.
