Li and Miao Minority Village is located 28 km from Sanya, 49 km from Baoting Country. The lush garden is planted with betel nut trees, a native plant to Hainan Island. Betel nut, also known as Pinang or Areca nut, is the seed of the Betel Palm. The tall palm with shallow roots that looks similar to the coconut tree. It has a significant bearing to Li and Miao Minority people. They describe it as a beauty and slim girl. To chew betel nut fruits has become the habit of some natives as it can refresh their mind. Under these beautiful palm trees, you can not miss the handsome boy and pretty girl who are ready for the Bamboo Dance. Here you will have a chance to see the real minority costume and entry their old style hamlets.

    It is said the Li Minorities are more friendly and docile than Miao Minorities. You will find out when you enter some part of this garden, Miao people are somewhat hidden from you, you will be told by the guide that once you meet Miao People, you have to shout “HoHa, Hoha,Hoha” at least three times, the more often, the better, or you will be "shot"(just a warning shot) by Miao. As a special treat, Miao people will present you with an amazing and incredible “Fire and Knife” performance. It will take about 3 hours to tour through the whole garden. It is very much worth a visit once you are in Sanya.
