Hainan Island – China’s Tropical Paradise ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ (also known as Hawaii of the east). Around 1:30 hr flight from Hong Kong through Hong Kong airlines or Cathay Pacific

Capital: Sanya
Airport: Sanya Phoenix International Airport
Currency: Chinese Yuan
What we liked about it:
– Beautiful scenery and nature (mountains and greenery everywhere)
– Beautiful beaches with many water activities
– Weather was perfect in January- sunny with nice breeze perfect for beach as well as tours around the island.

What we didn’t like about it:
– Few people barely speak English (even at the five star hotels) therefore we struggled dealing with them
– It’s hard to find group tours so you need to rely either on local taxis or hotel car (which is much more expensive).
We stayed at Marriott Sanya Resort at Yalong Bay- amazing five star resort with many water activities (there are other resorts overlooking the same beach such as Sheraton and MGM Grand along with few other resorts).
Other recommended resorts:
– Mandarin Oriental
– Ritz Carlton
And we found so many couples in their wedding dresses doing some photo shooting on the beach. Here are some photos of the trip ….
