About 500 thousand coconut trees of several species grow on the coconut plantation. It is believed that this farm supplies half of the island's residents with coconuts, and the very tastiest ones at that!
However, here you can not only try the best coconuts in Hainan, but also admire exotic panoramas to your heart's content that you will not find anywhere else. The scenery on the plantation is stunning! The whimsical trees are even given names such as: "Hero's Coconut," "Lovers' Tree," and "Coconut Beauty." By the way, the coconut grove has another function besides aesthetic and culinary ones: it protects the island from frequent typhoons.
There is a truly heavenly beach here: white sand, an azure shore, rows of palm trees, and no hustle and bustle. This idyll of seclusion is also explained by the fact that the Dongjiao area is considered very sparsely populated. Despite this, fishing thrives here. Be sure to visit a local restaurant to enjoy dishes made from exotic fish with various sauces, including ones based on coconut milk.
Not far from the plantation there are several hotels where you can stay overnight, so you have time both to relax on the beach and to see the local sights. Among the interesting sites worth seeing are an ancient lighthouse guiding ships and the temple of the fishermen's patron goddess Suiwei.
