Sanya City Tree There are two kinds of city trees in Sanya, namely coconut tree and sour bean tree. Coconut tree is a passionate song; Coconut tree is a hopeful poem; Coconut tree is a painting full of vitality. In front of us, there are pictures dyed green, and there are refreshing coconut winds blowing in front of us, as if we smelled the frankincense of coconut and were immersed in the magical nature. Coconut trees are full of treasures. Coconut can be processed into a variety of foods and drinks and become Hainan's fist product to the world. Coconut juice, a fist product that hits the world. Coconut juice, meat, roots and shells can all be used as medicine, and coconut oil can be made into advanced cosmetics. Hainan's coconut carving technology has a long history and is exquisite and ingenious. It was used as a tribute to the sky in ancient times. Sour bean tree is a national second-class protected plant, and it is also a city tree in Sanya. At present, it is only available in Yunnan and Hainan. Because the whole body of sour bean tree is sour and its fruit secretes an amino acid when it matures, it is said that Hainan locals use its tender leaves, fruits and fresh fish to make soup and drink together, which is very nourishing for the body, especially for pregnant women. This is the sour bean forest. Sour bean tree is sour everywhere from leaves to fruits. If you taste its fruit, you will never forget its name. Urban Environment The downtown area of Sanya is located in such a beautiful natural environment characterized by mountains, seas and rivers. The construction of the city pays attention to the harmonious relationship between the city and the natural landscape environment and ecological environment. The ingenious combination of "mountains, seas, rivers and cities" constitutes the unique environmental characteristics of the downtown area of Sanya. Sanya's urban environment is extremely unique, and three kinds of natural beauty, mountain, sea and river, are concentrated in one place, which constitutes the unique natural landscape of Sanya. The urban area is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with Baopo Ridge in the north, Dahualing Ridge, Tiger Leopard Ridge and Gaoling (Gouling) at an altitude of 394 meters in the east, and Nanbian Ridge in the south, forming an encircling trend, with undulating mountains and distinct levels; At the same time, the extension of the mountains divides the urban area into a space surrounded by several green hills, providing different spatial landscape environments for different parts of the city. Looking back at the sea, the mountains, like green barriers, reflect the charm of Sanya. Many hills also provide commanding heights overlooking the sea, river bends and urban landscapes. Sanya faces the South China Sea, with many bays, each with its own beautiful scenery. Dadonghai, Xiaodonghai and Sanya Bay, which are located in urban areas, have the closest relationship with citizens' lives. The east and west islands on the sea seem to be a gate facing the South China Sea, which adds a sense of hierarchy to the wide sea surface. The sea fog floats over and the two islands are covered, adding a bit of mystery; Walking along the beach, the deer as the symbol of Sanya city can be seen faintly. There are two rivers in Sanya, the east and the west, which pass through the urban area. The two rivers cross and meet in the south sea and the north at the middle island. The natural coastline is tortuous and changeable, and the upstream water network is criss-crossed. The mangroves naturally grow on both sides of the river, and sometimes waterfowls fly and fish jump in the scales. The scenery is beautiful and full of vitality.
