Day 1: Take the high-speed train to Tongshi Station (Haikou → Wuzhishan 1.5h/87 RMB, Sanya → 1h/65 RMB), then taxi into town to check in at a tropical rainforest boutique guesthouse or forest hotel (such as Yujing Mountain, Weibo Hostel, 600 RMB/night × 2 = 1200 RMB). In the afternoon, stroll around San Yue San Square, visit the local market, and try Li ethnic specialty dishes: five-foot pig, lingzhi chicken, and Shanlan wine. Dinner recommendation: “Hemu Renjia” restaurant.

Day 2: Full day exploring Wuzhishan Tropical Rainforest National Park (entrance + electric cart 95 RMB), hike the main peak plank road, cross the valley rainforest, and check in at China’s southernmost rafting spot — Hongxia Valley Rafting (198 RMB/person, thrilling and exciting). Along the way, observe the cyatheas, listen to gibbons and birds, and experience the “natural oxygen bar.” Return in the evening for a soak in a Li herbal hot spring to relax your fatigue.

Day 3: In the morning, visit Chubao Village or Yahu Terraces (free), step into traditional Li boat-shaped houses, and learn about intangible cultural heritage weaving crafts. You can also try handcraft Li pottery or bamboo weaving (50-80 RMB). Check out before 12:00 and take the high-speed train back.

💰Budget breakdown:
Transportation (round-trip train + local taxis) 600 + Accommodation 1200 + Food 600 + Attractions + rafting 350 + Experiences + miscellaneous 1250 ≈ **4800 RMB**

📌Tips:
- The rainforest is slippery, wear non-slip shoes and bring mosquito repellent;

⚠️Warnings:
❌ Don’t trust “wild guides” offering cheap tours at the scenic spot entrance;
❌ Be cautious buying mountain herbs and medicines, as their effects are often exaggerated.
