Situated in the west of Sanya, Jianfengling National Forest Park is the largest and best preserved primeval tropical forest in China. The total area of Jianfengling forest region is 47,227 km2 and this makes the region one of the 5 largest forest areas on the island. With a diverse range of tropical vegetation and a beauty unspoiled by human intervention, this preserve is considered one of the rare ecological treasures of China. Comprised of mountains, river valleys, and lush tropical vegetation, the park is a place of undeveloped natural beauty. With over 2800 types of vascular plants and 4300 species of animals, Jianfengling National Forest Park is regarded by scientists as a natural genetic treasure-trove. Here you can find the reclusive cloud leopard and the black crowned gibbon and so on (the latter found only in Hainan).

    Like the Amazon tropical rainforests of South America, the tropical rain forests of the Congo River Valley, and the tropical rain forests of Indonesia and Malaysia, there are many natural wonders and mysteries to discover within Jianfengling National Forest Park.
