01 Enjoy the beautiful mountain scene and the leisure of seclusion

Baolong Village is the first batch of demonstration villages for beautiful countryside construction in Sanya City in 2017. It is located in the northern mountainous area of Tianya District and is the north gate of Tianya District. The village is built on a mountain, living by water, with rich and varied landform, surrounded by mountains, and the natural ecology is beautiful. In Baolong Village, the roads are clean and spacious, and the cottages on both sides are strewn at random. Villagers in twos and threes are busy with their work at their doorsteps, and there is laughter from time to time, which is a busy and leisurely scene.

02 Convey the cultural customs of Li and Miao people with hands

In the spare time, Miao women in the village will gather in groups of three or five, sit under the Tamarindus tree at the entrance of the village and make Miao embroidery, embroidering the stitches of the years into the long river of time. The way of making Li brocade is more complicated than that of Miao embroidery. Miao embroidery can be made anytime and anywhere, while Li brocade needs to be made by a loom. Li women in Baolong Village often sit on a straw mat, and more than a dozen bamboo needles with different functions are wrapped with cotton threads of different colors.

As the traditional brocade of Li villagers in Baolong Village, Li brocade has a long history. It is exquisitely made, colorful, exaggerated and romantic. In case of wedding and funeral rites, Li people often wear Li brocade woven by themselves to hold various activities and wear dazzling silver ornaments to convey their wishes for a better life.

03 Breathe freely in the "Green Lung of the City"

Baolong Forest Park, located in the southeast of Baolong Village, is the largest and only national tropical natural forest reserve located at 18 north latitude in Sanya. The highest peak, Jianling, is 1,019.0 meters above sea level, which is the highest point in Sanya. The average annual temperature here is around 25℃, and the negative oxygen ion content is up to 89,000/cm3. It is a natural big oxygen bar and Sanya's green lung, which is not only suitable for the people to take a holiday, but also for leisure and health preservation.

The forest area of Baolong Village Forest Park covers over 90%, with thousands of tropical plants and wild animals distributed. There is also a four-kilometer climbing plank road specially built for mountain climbers. The Forest Park is also the only waterfall scenic area in Sanya, with the highest negative oxygen ion content of 60,000/cm3.

04 A Bite of Baolong flavor

When it comes to the delicacy of Baolong Village, there must be Shanlan wine. Shanlan wine is mostly made from home-grown Shanlan glutinous rice, which is planted, harvested and hand brewed in the same year. The wine produced has a strong mountain flavor. It tastes sweet and gentle, fragrant but not bright, soft but not mild, mellow but not sticky, and a strong delayed effect, which is the case with the so-called "softness with rigidity".

In addition, when you come to Baolong village, you can taste the namdua (bottled sour side dish) - the traditional food of local minorities. It is made by mixing the red scale fish from the Ningyuan River and the steamed Shanlan rice into a bottle, with 25 days of sealed natural fermentation. Although it tastes a little fishy and sour, it is a special memory in the taste buds of the villagers in Baolong Village.

This is Baolong village, which is as wild as mountains and water, and as mellow as Shanlan wine. Although it is simple, it is full of human feelings and vitality. It is there, waiting quietly for you to discover it and spend a quiet and beautiful time with you.
