Hawaii in China?
Hainan Island China is very similar in many regards to Hawaii. The southern tip, the most popular locations for tourists, rests on nearly the same latitudinal lines, and they cater mainly towards large tour groups of their fellow countrymen escaping towards the sun. A restful collision of mountains and beaches is the main draw – and the addition of the island to a tour of China is an amazing departure from much of the rest of the country. Even during the winter, the temperature rarely drops below 65 degrees.
On Hainan Island China, most visitors start at one of the main urban areas. Haikou, the capital city, is not that especially popular with tourists, but since most travelers approach the island by ferry (originating in Hai'an), this is usually one's introduction to the island. The island is tourist driven, a resort-centered location, and Haikou, for what it lacks in things to do, definitely has some of the cheapest lodgings available in Hainan. The second biggest city on Hainan Island China is the resort town of Sanya. This is about the furthest south you can go – making it the most popular travel destination on the island. Or at least, the areas surrounding the city. Sanya itself is little more than a glorified fishing village, the largest city nearby what people really come to see, the beaches.
