A lot of Siberians and residents of the Far East each year under the warm tropical sun, your bones and treat ailments in the healing springs.

The Name “Hainan” translated from the Chinese as the “island, lying South of the sea”. The name is more than accurate. Hainan lies in the extreme South of the country. And it is the second largest island of China (after Taiwan). He was once a part of Eurasia. And now from the mainland it is separated by a narrow Strait. The area of the island – thirty-four thousand square kilometers. About eight thousand years ago in Hainan has erupted many volcanoes. Now they were extinguished, but left behind a memory – healing hot springs. And this makes the stay in Hainan not only pleasant but also beneficial to health.

Arriving on the bucolic island, it's hard to believe that in the Middle ages it was a place of exile for displeasing the Emperor of the nobles. Now it has developed into a resort. However, this happened only in 1988, when Hainan became a separate province and began the rapid development of the tourism industry. You can come here as a package tour or independently. Guests here are always welcome.

The Only truly tropical island, if we talk about China, Hainan. Stay reviews, which cause a desire to come here, it is not recommended here only in winter. But more than three hundred days a year the skies over Hainan clear. This island deserves to be called the Oriental Hawaii. There is the whole entourage, which is inherent in the tropical resorts, lush green palm trees, coconuts, bananas, warm turquoise sea, white sand beaches.

The Best time to visit Hainan tourists consider the period from November to April. Below we give a layout than a good tropical island of China in spring and summer. But what you should avoid is coming to Hainan in the period of Chinese New year celebrations (late January or early February). Prices during this period soar to unprecedented heights, and the level of service is falling due to the influx of domestic tourists.

How to get to Hainan island

The Russian Cities associated with the Oriental Hawaii only charters during the tourist season. It is possible to fly to Almaty on regular flight, and from there – on Hainan, with a stopover in Urumqi. Also on a tropical island tourists get domestic flights are via Hong Kong and Beijing and Shanghai (mainland China).

Hainan has two international airports. First – “Camellia" - located in the island's capital Haikou. This city is located in the North, while the major resorts of East Hawaii in the South. So if you have the opportunity to choose, prefer the destination airport “Phoenix” in Sanya. This city is the center of all the resort of the Riviera of Hainan. In principle, the visa can be open upon arrival at the Sanya airport, but very seasoned travelers do not recommend to do this if you are traveling independently and not included in the group list.

"Camellia" in the center of Haikou free ride buses. Travel time-half an hour. A taxi ride will cost about one hundred yuan. From the airport, “Phoenix” to the various resorts of the southern tip of the island is served by regular buses. A trip to Sanya will cost ten yuan, to Dadonghai – 20, to Yalong Bay – 30.

Transport links on the island of Hainan

Excellent roads link all key settlements. At the end of the island motor Speedway. To get around East Hawaii is not only on buses and taxis, but also on motorcycles and rickshaws. However, the fare in this case also depends on the weight of the passenger. Negotiate a price with a rickshaw in advance.

There on the island and the railroad. High-speed trains, very comfortable, not like those that ply in mainland China. Tourists warn that the ticket cost an average of eighty-five yuan, should be maintained until the end of the passage. You will need it to exit the station at your destination.

Tourism in Hainan impossible without a visit to "monkey Island". It can be reached by cable car. Interestingly, the buses in Hainan travel not only between the settlements. There are many routes traveling to tourist places. Bay Sanyavan bus 102, Dadunhai - No. 2 and 4. Also ply taxis in the Bay "Dragon of Asia", Park “the Edge" Nanshan temple.

Sanya from the island's capital Haikou connects regular (every twenty minutes) by bus. Mainthe station is located on the Avenue of Jie Fang. Taxis on the island only official – with a counter, and even gracious. Prices are displayed on the windshield or the rear door of the car.

The Popular resorts

Holiday in China, on Hainan island, will satisfy all types of tourists. Surfers are attracted to Dadonghai Bay. There are perfect wind, generating the correct wave. All the hotels of this resort is located on the first line from the sea. But the municipal beaches of Dadonghai are often overcrowded with European tourists come to the beach and local vacationers. The Chinese like not only to sunbathe and swim, how much to gather a large company and having a heated and loud discussion. This specificity needs to get used to… or to avoid their gatherings.

The Most expensive and fashionable hotels are concentrated in the resort of Yalong Bay, in twenty five kilometers from Sanya (South of Hainan island). Holiday with children will be perfect everywhere, if the time chosen for him to be successful. However, you should avoid Dadonghai with its fresh breeze and sports specific resort. In Sanyavan (near airport “Phoenix”) may be turbid sea. However, the beauty of nature completely makes up for it. With a small child to get comfortable in a quiet Hollow. A teenager will find a lot of fun in Sanya. But at the center of the Riviera of Hainan almost all the hotels are across the street from the beaches.

By the Way, on the coasts. All of them are sandy, free and very well maintained. Everywhere lifeguards, shower, toilet, umbrellas, sunbeds and deckchairs.

Hainan: holidays in March, April and may

Whether to come on a tropical island in the first month of spring? When in Russia (especially in Siberia) more savage frosts, to visit Hainan is like being in heaven. Reviews claim that in the first month of spring on the island is set is very comfortable to Yankee weather. Even in early March, the air warms during the day to +26 degrees, and the South China sea gives warmth. Night ceases to be cool. In the southern bays, where all the resorts on the island, the sea is gradually eroding.

Tourism in Hainan in April to call budget is impossible. It's peak season. Rain in mid spring is not observed, the sea is calm, and the thermometer does not show any extreme temperatures. Day +29, the night is 21 degrees. This fertile time lasts until the end of April and the first days of rain – precursors "wet season". In the last month of spring in the tropical climate zone begins to blow monsoon, bringing heavy rainfall. But tourism in Hainan in may not be called “wet”. Reviews claim that it only rains in the evening and night, and by morning all dries up and Shine-washed freshness. Besides, as we are assured reviews, southern resorts a little to protect from the showers of the mountains, which divide the island almost in half. When in Haikou pouring rain, in Sanya can be dry. The sun beats down with a vengeance and daytime temperatures reaching over thirty degrees in the shade.

Tourism in Hainan in June, July and August

Not to prevaricate, during the summer (and autumn, too, until the beginning of November), blowing over the island humid monsoon. Not to say that it cooled the air. The thermometer in June held at the same level as in may (about thirty degrees). But even if it doesn't rain, the air filled with a damp mist. Therefore, from traveling to Hainan in the summer months, you should refrain from cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure, asthma. The sea starts to storm. The so-called corridor of the Typhoon passes to the North of the island, but heavy winds and high storm surges can destroy tourism in Hainan in July.

But the tourists in full to benefit from “low-season”. Hoteliers to lure customers, offer unprecedented discounts. Tourists are warned that, despite the high clouds, to neglect sunscreen is not necessary. Light in tropical latitudes will burn white skin and a veil of thick clouds.

As a bonus for the dedication of the Hainan gives summer travelers a variety of interesting events. In June, for two thousand years, every year is the celebration of Duan-Jie (dragon boat festival). To give an exact date for this colorful action impossible. The holiday is celebrated according to the lunar calendar, the fifth day of the fifth month. I wish the second time in a year to celebrate Valentine's Day? This is the seventh day of the seventh month (late July or August). The same romantic fever that is sweeping Europe and America around the date of February 14, observed in Hainan, only with Chinese characteristics.

Therapeutic recreation

The Violent volcanic activity that shook the island for many thousands of years ago, left behind a number of thermal springs and mineral waters. In connection with traditional Chinese medicine Spa resort Hainan is doing wonders. Stay on the island will heal the gastrointestinal tract, swimming in the radon and mineral pools of different temperatures run pulmonary ailments, skin, gynecological and urological diseases. Optimized blood pressure, you will forget about osteoarthritis and rheumatism.

Therapeutic recreation in Hainanuses only the traditional Chinese therapies in combination with herbs and other natural medicines. The most famous such healing centre is considered to be the ‘Garden of longevity". It is located in the Dadonghai hotel and is located in the “Pearl river garden”. If you visit Sanya, you can buy healing course at the center "San-Yi-Tang". In the resort of Yalong Bay the hotel "Cactus resort” not long ago opened a branch of the hospital. Here you can get not only the course of treatment, and to conduct a comprehensive diagnosis of the organism. Experienced physicians will develop an individual program.

It referred to other health centres. This is the “Yu-Kang”, “Taiji” and complex “Nantan”. On the territory of the latter is located almost thirty pools with mineral water of different chemical composition and temperature.

Attractions & sightseeing

Cognitive tourism in Hainan has its own specifics. All antiquity is concentrated in the North of the island where dwelt the exiled nobles, waiting for opal will end and they can return to the Imperial court. The southern tip of Hainan is really reminiscent of Hawaii. Around luxurious resorts stretch of coffee plantations, coconut groves and other farmland. But in the South you can find a lot of interesting places. Located in Sanya Tianya Tropical aquarium Ocean Animal Park. And see the land animals in the kennel tigers and lions. Tourists are advised to visit the capital Haikou, if not for old architecture, so for the sake of shopping.

Holidays on Hainan island is not complete without a visit to the natural parks. A lot of them, and the most popular are "the valley of butterflies", "monkey Island" and "Dongshan". The last Park is divided into two halves. One can walk on foot, because the fauna there harmless. And in the second half need to travel only in a jeep, looking like bears, lions and tigers racing with the car.

Those who are not afraid of Hiking, reviews recommend climbing the volcano MA-an (fifteen kilometers from Haikou). Stairs to the crater cut into the frozen lava. Another tourist attraction – Park "the Edge”. It is located twenty kilometers from Sanya. Unique beach is littered with many boulders bizarre.

Shopping

It's safe to say that the main purpose of the arrival of tourists to Hainan – a rest. Photo of one of the only Buddhist centre Nanshan with the Golden statue of thousand-armed Guanyin, the Bodhisattva appears in many travel guides on China. But this sculpture is also listed in the Guinness Book of records. She has the highest weight-140 pounds, considering that it is made of pure gold, and decorated with precious stones.

The Tour in Hainan is good because they allow you to combine an interesting soul with a useful pocket. Cape “the Edge of the sea and sky”, you can buy various Souvenirs. In Sanya all the key shops located in the city centre, along the Avenue of Liberation. But the true Shopaholic, you should go shopping in Haikou street Chisumulu.

Tourists are advised to bring from Hainan? From a huge range of products with tag “made in China”, you can choose pretty high quality, even precious things. For example, pearl jewelry and mother of pearl, rock crystal, silk and porcelain. Very much appreciated the tea (some varieties of gold). Of the Souvenirs-easier tourists driven wooden statues, woodblock print, Buddhist, dosido symbols, amulets Feng Shui. Popular herbs and healing ointments.

Reviews and tips travelers

What should you do to ensure yourself and your family a good holiday in Hainan island? Reviews first of all I advise to take responsibility for the timing of the trip. After all, a vacation spent in the hotel because the storm is raging, cannot be called successful, even if the hotel itself is five-star.

Another tip. In China there is a striking difference between hotels five and four star. In a word, Hainan – this is not the case when it is possible and necessary to reduce the cost of your holiday. Yalong Bay – perfect in every way resort. Clear water and absence of waves and currents here attract divers from around the world. But restaurants are only located in expensive hotels, but because food will be expensive. In Dadonghai also cafes at every step. You can have a lunch for six or seven dollars.
