Nestled in the heart of Hainan's tropical rainforest in scenic Baoting County, Shenyu Island Cultural Tourism Zone combines cultural arts, tourism, and wellness, making it a unique resort for relaxation and rejuvenation. Each morning, a hike up to the tea terraces midway up the mountain offers fresh air infused with the fragrance of tea leaves. In the afternoon, a pot of tea brewed in a traditional teahouse on the mountaintop allows one to admire the breathtaking views of mountains, sea, and clouds, accompanied by the sound of birds in the valley and the sight of lush, sprawling tea gardens. By evening, the sunset and starry skies create a serene atmosphere, offering a peaceful and delightful escape.

"Hanfu looks gorgeous and elegant. I like it very much!" exclaimed Yasmin repeatedly. In addition to exploring Shenyu Island, she also experienced traditional Chinese arts, including Chinese calligraphy and performing a tea ceremony, all while wearing a Hanfu, of course.

“It’s fascinating! Chinese traditional culture is incredibly rich and profound. The beautiful scenery here naturally slows my pace, allowing me to truly absorb the tranquility and comfort of this landscape.
