Hainan Introduction

Hainan Island, China's newest province, lies on the same latitude as Hawaii, with a great climate and charming pace of life. It is a rich and prosperous province and the area is renowned as one of China's most popular destinations. The island had once been a getaway for the exiled government officials. It had transformed into an independent region in 1989, to become a Special Economic Zone and now a world famous tropical resort. The large and noisy city of Haikou is the capital of Hainan, serving as a convenient point on the way to the beaches in the south of the island. Danzhou, Changjiang, Baisha, and Dongfang are located near nature reserves and interesting cultural sites. More aesthetically pleasing spots are on the eastern coast of the island, as well as a few pleasant beaches and bays. The highlight of Hainan is Sanya. It deserves its great reputation, and some of its beaches rival Hawaii or Thailand in terms of facilities, clean sand and seas.
