Binglanggu Local Li & Miao Minority Culture Park in Baoting Hainan Island

Nestled in Baoting, Hainan, a mere 40-minute drive from Sanya, Binglanggu Local Li & Miao Minority Culture Park offers a captivating journey into the traditions of the Li and Miao ethnic groups.

The park’s name, “Binglanggu,” stems from the Chinese words “Binglang” meaning Areca, a tropical plant, and “Gu” representing Valley. Situated in a picturesque valley adorned with lush Binglang trees, the park provides an immersive experience into the vibrant cultures of the Li and Miao people.

The Li people, Hainan’s original inhabitants, settled on the island approximately 5000 years ago, while the Miao ethnic group migrated to Hainan 800 years ago, finding sanctuary in the island’s mountainous terrain. Binglanggu serves as a living testament to their enduring heritage, offering visitors a glimpse into their daily lives through exhibitions, shows, and interactions with local residents. Unlike museum artifacts that often belong to a bygone era, Binglanggu’s displays showcase tools and customs that have persisted for millennia, bridging the gap between past and present.

Comprising three thematic areas—Li Village, Miao Village, and Tropical Rainforest—the park promises a multifaceted exploration of Li and Miao cultures. Visitors can indulge in traditional delicacies, explore authentic dwellings, marvel at exhibitions of intricate handicrafts, and be enthralled by mesmerizing performances featuring local talents, including spirited dancers and singers, some of whom are octogenarians.

A half-day excursion to Binglanggu offers ample time to savor its offerings, including a captivating hour-long show and leisurely strolls through the villages. For those seeking a full-day adventure, combining a visit to Binglanggu with Yanoda Tropical Rainforest Park or a relaxing retreat to Yalong Bay Beach is highly recommended.
