A national 5A-level tropical rainforest scenic area; the tropical valley rainforest within Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County is well preserved, with rainforest wonders such as buttress roots, strangler figs, and aerial gardens unfolding one by one along the boardwalks, plus a "Yanoda Rainforest Valley" guided route that offers the most systematic rainforest education among comparable scenic areas. The signature experience, "Waterfall Trekking," takes you wading upstream over waterfalls and through ravines—cool, refreshing, and thrilling, at its best in summer. "Yanoda" comes from the Hainanese words for "one, two, three" and is used as a welcoming greeting, from which the park's slogan derives. It is about a 1-hour drive from downtown Sanya, with a dedicated scenic-area shuttle running back and forth.
