China Tours – Hainan – China Idyllic Island Paradise

Known as "the Oriental Hawaii", Hainan is the second largest ocean island in China. With the spectacular scenery including sunshine, sands, seawater, green color and the fresh air, Hainan is an ideal place to escape winter cold. The first stop for most visitors coming to Hainan is Haikou, the capital of Hainan Province. The typical sight of the Haikou are the lined coconut trees along the street and the colorful neon light shining at the dark blue sky at night. The city is always famous for its beautiful beaches. Except for its renowned sand beaches, there are also many historical attractions to see in Haikou. The Wugong Temple is the largest ancient architectural complex preserved in Hainan province. It is so called to honor the 5 memorable officials who were exiled to Hainan in the Tang and Song dynasties. Certainly the focal destination of any visit to Hainan must be the Sanya city. Lying on the southernmost tip of Hainan Island, the city of Sanya is skirted by mountains on three sides and its 180km long coast is covered with whitish fine sand. With 300 fine days a year, Sanya can be your right choice as a wintering resort. Tianya Haijiao is a never-missed attraction on a Sanya tour. Tianya Haijiao means 'Border of Heaven and End of the Sea' in Chinese because this was the place where Song dynasty officials were exiled. The Chinese characters for 'Tianya Haijiao' and 'Nantian Yizhu' (Pillar Pointing to the Sky in the South) are engraved on the three biggest rocks along the coast. Due to a romantic legend, nowadays, many Chinese couples come here for their declarations of love. Sunshine, coconut trees, sand beach, clouds, and the blue sea water make up the unique tropical island of Hainan. Yalong Bay, 24km east of Sanya, is one of the longest stretches of sand you will ever see. The water here is crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky and white sand beneath the depths. Dadonghai Beach, known as the Golden Coast in China, is one of the cleanest beaches in Hainan. Facilities here are good too. You can choose different water sports and also have a chance to taste the local food and drinks in the small restaurants and bars along the beach. Hainan is the paradise for honeymooners and vacationers in China. Except for its beautiful tropical landscape and the exciting aquatic sports, the ethnic culture like Li, Miao or Hui is another choice for you to experience this island.
