Yulinzhou is close to the Beibu Gulf, where wind energy resources are very abundant. Dongfang has a power station, and there are 18 huge windmills standing on the beach. Windmills, sea, beach, and sea breeze create a romantic and beautiful dynamic scene.

Yulinzhou is located on the beach southwest of Basuo Town, Dongfang City, Hainan. According to historical records, Yulinzhou was listed as one of Hainan's scenic spots in Kangxi for 40 years during the Qing Dynasty. Yulinzhou faces the sea of waves, with strange peaks, rocks, green grass and shrubs, and long-term mountain flowers. On the beach, the sand is as fine as snow, soft as sponge; the sea surface is blue and waves, shallow water boats shuttle, the white sails in the far sea, the seagulls are flying; the sea breeze is helped by the waves, the waves are fluttered on the stone wall, splashing a pile of snow white waves, the sound of thundery waves is light and orderly, and the rhythm is even.
Yulinzhou is located in the southwest of the eight port of Dongfang City, Hainan Province, about 90 meters above sea level. In the years of Qing Kang Zhao, Jiang Yan, the county's grateful county order in "Yiwenzhi" wrote: "A stone peak rose on the seaside, high ten feet, rocks overlap, like fish scales, so name." Ming Xiaozong's seven-year rule (1494 AD), Hainan Wei commanded Zhang Yu to set up Yulinzhou military fort for defense of the dragonflies and pirates, and sent troops to station, Also known as "Naval Mountain". Forty years of Kangxi (1701), Yulinzhou is listed as one of the eight Hainan scenery. Qing • Tang Zhifu poem praises: "Fish scales towering high to meet the clouds and smoke, and the sticks are on the parting day. The strange stones are endlessly revolved around, and the peaks overlap and green. The spring left a well as clear as possible, and the waves hit thousands of layers. Where to find the three mountains on the sea, it is clear that this place is a fairy" In 1940, the Japanese army invaded China to build eight ports to bomb the mountain to collect stones, seriously damaged the natural landscape of Yulinzhou, and the original stone wells that had not been sloppy disappeared. When the eight ports were built in 1957, the foot of Yulinzhou Mountain to the peak was built with cement steps. In 1964, a watchtower and a navigational light were built on the peak. In 2003, the navigational lighthouse was transformed into an antique lighthouse, with a height of 62.9 meters and a height of 18.6 meters. The navigational light comes from day and night, flashing white twice every 6 seconds, and the range is 18 nautical miles. The lighthouse is the symbol of Yulinzhou, the symbol of Oriental City, and an important navigational mark of Beibu Gulf. In 2011, Oriental City was listed as immovable cultural relics in Oriental City during the third national cultural relics census. Standing at the Yulinzhou Lighthouse, watching with a high-powered telescope when the weather is clear, the Vietnamese Haiphong City is faintly visible. The strange stones are all over the west of Yulinzhou, and the eight ports to the east are a sandy beach. To the south is the mouth of the Luo Dai River, followed by a mangrove forest. Continue to overlook the 18 huge white windmills that stand on the coastal beach. The characteristics of the fish monsoon are obvious. The north wind is blowing in winter and the west wind is blowing in summer. The average annual wind speed is 4.8 meters/second. It is the most important place for wind sailing lovers. It is also the best place to watch the sunset and sunset when the weather is fine.
Hainan is the westernmost point of the East. It has beautiful scenery and unique natural style. It attracts countless tourists to go. It is far from Sanya to the hustle and bustle. It is lingering and refreshing. It is worth a visit.
There is no flushing room, there are too many people on the beach, the sea is not clear or the beach in Sanya is good. The water project is cheap.
The location is in the south section of Dongfang City, the sea is generally the same, it is good to watch the sunset, fishing on the beach, and there are many people swimming.
A clean beach, and the lighthouse climbs up to see it.
I like the cactus on the shore, I like to climb the lighthouse to watch the sunrise.
