Coconut groves, rice paddies and picking orchards. An open agricultural-themed park in the Guilinyang development zone built around tropical-crop education and rural leisure: rows of coconut palms, banana groves and rice paddies compose a typical northern-Hainan farm scene, and the park has picking orchards of dragon fruit, passion fruit and more, open for in-field picking in season. Admission is free and crowds are thin, making it a weekend spot for local families to "bring the kids and learn about plants"; for travelers it works better as a relaxed alternative outside downtown Haikou — combined with Guilinyang's seafood stalls and cycling greenways, it can form a half-day countryside route.
Getting there: Bus, Guilinyang
