..."One of the southern-most provinces of PR China, Hainan or Yazhou (its old name) has always captured imagination as the "Jewel of the South Sea". In dynasties gone by, Chinese emperors had used this island to exile political prisoners (though with its beautiful beaches, I am not sure where the catch was). Today, the island has been keenly promoted as "Hawaii Of The Orient"....though this remains to be seen if the drive would be successful. What is true is that tourism is already rooted here, evident by the 2 recent "Miss World" pageants taking place in Sanya. This is an island in transition, pretty rooted in the past at places, and skipping full throttle into the future at others"...

Nice info and great photos of HaiNan Dao :) | SWFC_Fan Sun Aug 12, 2007 19:51 UTC
Super tips again, mate! Yalong Bay looks like a good getaway for some winter sunshine. I think I'd soon get tired of people following me around shops - I never buy anything when they do that! | blue_sky04 Sat Jul 14, 2007 03:19 UTC
