Houchen coffee shops popping up in the countryside along major roads and the G98 Hainan Ring Expressway, good for some breaks in an air-conditioned environment.

Lingao is situated in the north-west of Hainan Island. It borders Chengmai County to the east and Danzhou to the south with the Qiongzhou Strait to the North.
Stopover at the famous Lingao monument out at the Lingao Cape, a large stone monument for the Hainan Island Campaign.
Landing Operation on Hainan Island, was a series of battles fought between the Kuomintang (Nationalists) (National Revolutionary Army, NRA) and the People's Liberation Army (PLA) during the Chinese Civil War in the post-World War II period, and resulted in a PLA victory.

Every Chinese I told before about my plans says, nobody goes to Lingao, not even Chinese, what for do you want to go there? Well liked the area as no real estate or industry developments and beautiful weather and scenery......
Seems they have never seen a foreigner on a motorcycle in the greater Lingao area.

Departed Lingao Cape via a single track concrete road along the coast towards Yangpu.
Small fishing villages are scattered along the beatiful coast line.

Enjoyed cruising along the coastal concrete road from the Lingao monument to the Yangpu area.
The Yangpu Ancient Salt Field is an archeological heritage site in Yantian village, on the Yangpu Peninsula in Hainan, China.
Salt Field area comprises more than 1,000 stones, cut flat on top, which are used to evaporate seawater to produce salt.
The stones have a thin rim around the edge to contain the water. During high tide, the surface of the stones becomes filled with seawater.
During low tide, this evaporates, leaving the salt, which is then collected.
The area was established around 800 AD when a group of salt workers from Putian city in Fujian province moved to Yangpu.
Today, only a small group of villagers continue to make salt using this method and it is not their main source of income.
