Lingao

Lingao (临高; Língāo) is a county in the northwest of Hainan, China.

Understand
Lingao is best known for Cape Lingao (临高角; Língāojiǎo) - the site of a historic lighthouse and the main landing site for the People's Liberation Army (PLA) during the Hainan Campaign of the Chinese Civil War. The area around Cape Lingao is now known as Hainan Liberation Park.

The county seat of Lingao is the town of Lincheng (临城; Línchéng).

Get in
Lingao may be reached by both bus and train. Some visitors prefer to take the bus because the train station is quite far (about 16km by road) from Lincheng's town center whereas the Lingao Bus Station is in a much more central location.

Get around
In Lincheng, the public bus network extends from Lingao South Railway Station in the south to Hainan Liberation Park in the north. Taxis and auto-rickshaws are also available.

Long-distance buses operate between the Lingao Bus Station in Lincheng and other towns in Lingao.
