Wenchang coconuts cover half of Hainan, and the coconut groves in the eastern suburbs are the most scenic

📍Detailed address: Scenic Area of Coconut Groves in the Eastern Suburbs of Wenchang, Hainan, on County Road 185 🚉Transportation strategy: Due to its remote location, it is suitable for self-driving. When you see a large expanse of coconut groves, you have already arrived. There are many patches of coconut groves where you can check in and visit. On the contrary, there are not many coconut groves by the seaside, and the tourists are concentrated, so you can choose not to go there 🌟Highlights and features: Little known fact, almost all of the large coconut groves on Hainan Island are concentrated in Wenchang, which is also a paradise for coconuts, giving rise to a large coconut industry. For example, the famous Chun Guang Food Factory is located here. Many people online say that the Eastern Suburbs Coconut Grove is not worth visiting, but in my personal opinion, I highly recommend it. The coconut groves here are almost all tall coconut varieties, with coconut trees reaching more than ten meters high everywhere, which require specialized personnel wearing knife shoes to climb up for harvesting. The coconut groves are dense, and occasionally you can see some lush tropical plants, giving you the feeling of traveling through a primitive jungle. Almost every coconut tree trunk has some characters on it. I specifically asked the coconut stall owner, and it turns out that these old coconut trees have been around for decades. In order for the next generation to inherit and identify their own coconut trees, they have marked the trees. The coconut stalls by the road are simply a sight of coconut fruits en masse, and the coconuts sold at ten yuan for three are really cost-effective to drink. The characteristic of Hainan's coconuts is that they are sour, sweet, and full of water, and generally, the coconut meat is not eaten. After the stall owner opens them, they feed the free-range chickens, which is why Wenchang chicken tastes so good, as they are raised on coconut meat. The local customs are simple and leisurely, and it is common to see hammocks tied to coconut trees. In their spare time, people lie down to enjoy the slow life, which is the life I aspire to.
