Chengmai Luocheng Thermal

Chengmai Luocheng Thermal is a geothermal resort in the Luocheng district of Chengmai County in northern Hainan Island, a region celebrated across China for its extraordinary 'ancient coconuts' (lao ye coconuts)—a heirloom variety unique to Chengmai whose exceptionally rich, creamy flesh and sweet water are prized in Hainan cuisine and the coconut chicken soup that defines the island's most beloved culinary tradition. The bicarbonate thermal waters of Chengmai draw from the volcanic geology underlying the northern Hainan coastal plain, providing warm geothermal bathing in a region whose coconut palm groves, volcanic red soil, and the Maijing wetland mangrove reserve create a distinctive tropical agricultural and ecological landscape far from the resort development of Sanya's southern coast. The ancient coconut cultivation heritage, the Maijing National Nature Reserve's mangrove birding, and the warm geothermal pools of Chengmai combine the agricultural soul of northern Hainan with the island's genuine volcanic thermal heritage.
