Dongzhaigang Mangrove Forest in Qiongshan District , Haikou City of Hainan Province: Green-waved coastline

In 1986, the mangrove forest at Dongzhaigang at Qiongshan on Hainan Island was listed as a nature reserve under state protection. In 1992, it became China’s first place on the world list of major wetlands.
The mangrove is an evergreen tree that grows along tropical, sub-tropical tidal shores or river estuaries. At high tide, they are totally submerged or only their tops are visible, and when the tide recedes, they show themselves as dense thickets. Both trees and shrubs have reddish brown bark and green leaves. There are more than 40 mangrove species in the world, of which 24 grow in Guangdong, Fujian and Taiwan, 19 at Dongzhaigang. The overgrown mangroves at Dongzhaigang are like green waves along the coast. The place is also home to 159 kinds of bird and is an important resting place on the migration routes of many birds.
