Hainan striving to boost green and cultural tourism in central regions

Hainan is striving to boost green tourism in its central regions.

Cities and counties in the central part of the island, including Baoting, Wuzhishan, and Qiongzhong are natural scenic regions for ecological and cultural tourism, thanks to their beautiful ecological environment, breathtaking mountain settings, fresh air, birdsong, and flowers.
