Discover Hainan Island

Hainan Island offers China’s strongest tropical island travel experience, combining beaches, coconut palms, surf towns, rainforests, hot springs, seafood, minority culture, resort areas, and warm winter weather. It is a destination for travelers looking for coastal relaxation, family holidays, outdoor activities, and a very different side of China from northern or inland cities.

A visit can include Sanya’s beaches, Wanning’s surf scene, Haikou’s old streets, tropical rainforests, hot springs, coastal drives, seafood markets, and local Hainanese food. The best time to visit is November to April, when the weather is more comfortable and suitable for beach travel. Hainan works well as a full island route with Haikou, Wenchang, Bo’ao, Wanning, Lingshui, Sanya, and central rainforest areas.
