吊罗山的枫果树瀑布是我国第2大的瀑布,去的时候没想到会涉溪,所以穿的是人字拖。结果顺着枫果树瀑布的上游继续涉溪前行,越过丛林,淌过急流,攀岩陡峭,在前人走过的路径最终到达的出口竟然是去时的公路,开车不过十来分钟的路程,徒手翻山越岭居然花了4个半小时。但是只有这样才能领略到吊罗山真正的美,大自然真正的美,只是站在人造桥上欣赏大自然的美,永远是局限的一块。
The park is located just north of Lingshui, Hainan. You head north from Lingshui on the road to Wushishan and there is an exit with a sign after about 10 km. Then after about another 15 km you will come to a yellow village. Every building is yellow. This is the entrance to the park. At the end of the village the road appears to turn into a driveway but this is still the main road, now one lane. It heads uphill another 4-5 kms and there is a gate where you pay a 20RMB entrance fee. Foreigners need a passport copy. The road keeps climbing up another 13 kms and up to 5,000'. Finally you arrive at a hotel, restaurant, lake and mountain rain forest trail. There are fish in the lake. The trail is concrete and goes back through the jungle more than 1 km, through babbling brooks and over hill and dale. It seems to go on forever. Maybe it does. By 4pm I could hear the thunder getting very close and I was on a bicycle with a 3 1/2 hour ride in front of me to get home so I turned back without finding out what was at the far end of the trail. If you go by bicycle as I did, bring rain gear in your back pack. At 5,000' the temp is 10C cooler than Lingshui and when it rains the rain is heavy and comes from 15,000' so it is very cold. If you want to get out of the city and into the jungle with no one around, this is the place. Rained so hard on the way down the mountain that the water killed my I-Phone so no pictures I'm afraid.
