东山岭
One of the few sacred mountains on Hainan Island. Buddhists have been worshipping at the temples here since the Song Dynasty. The largest temple is the Dongling Temple (which as of August 2020 is closed for repairs). The other main temple is the Chaoyin Temple. Visitors can get around the park using the ropeway and the sightseeing cars, but most people with a reasonable level of fitness should be able to get around just by walking, as the park isn't very big.
