Then buy Danzhou specialties: dried red fish (about 50 RMB per pack), Baimajing pepper (20 RMB per jar). Take the train back (reserve 150 RMB for transportation to the station). --- Budget Breakdown (per person) · Transportation: round-trip train (from Haikou as example) 70 RMB + local charter/taxi 150 RMB = 220 RMB · Accommodation: 1 night guesthouse = 150 RMB · Meals: breakfast 8 RMB + seafood lunch 80 RMB + night market 50 RMB + next day light meal 40 RMB = 178 RMB · Entrance fees: Dongpo Academy 25 RMB = 25 RMB · Shopping/emergency fund: specialties + contingency ≈ 200 RMB Total: about 773 RMB (actually controllable within 800 RMB, leaving 700 RMB flexible for upgrades!) --- Travel Tips 1.

In Danzhou, time moves slowly, the breeze tastes salty, history is hidden in salt grains, poetry lies on volcanic rocks. Come here, not to escape the crowds of Sanya, but to meet another side of Hainan yourself.

Dongpo Academy is located at No. 30 Central Avenue in Danzhou City. Originally named Zaijiutang, it was built in 1098 AD. It was built as a lecture hall by the local scholar Li Ziyun in July 1097 AD (the fourth year of Shaosheng in the Northern Song Dynasty) to facilitate Dongpo's teaching and social gatherings after he was demoted from Huizhou to Danzhou. Su Dongpo named it Zaijiutang, which means 'carrying wine and food, accompanying scholars in their studies'. In 1548 AD (the 27th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty), it was renamed Dongpo Academy. The Dongpo Academy has a serene environment with lush trees and numerous ancient relics. The ancient well water from the Ming Dynasty is always clear. The Zaijiutang, Aotang niche, and other buildings are quaint and elegant, reflecting the open-mindedness and magnanimity of Mr. Dongpo, who believed 'wherever my heart feels at peace, that is my home', as well as his noble character of 'letting a straw raincoat and the rain be all I need in life'. Su Dongpo was exiled in Danzhou for three years, during which he reformed local customs and educated the people, making an indelible contribution to the enlightenment and development of Hainan's culture, which has been extolled for generations. Dongpo Academy is a must-visit for those who seek to follow in Dongpo's footsteps. Dongpo Academy Opening Hours: 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with admission stopping at 4:30 PM. Ticket Prices: During the peak season from October 1 to April 30 of the following year, the price is 25 yuan, with a half-price ticket at 12.5 yuan. During the off-season from May 1 to September 30, the price is 21 yuan, with a half-price ticket at 10.5 yuan.
