 潜水在众多的海洋娱乐项目中数潜水项目最为火爆。，三亚是中国境内最棒的潜水基地。目前，三亚共有五大潜水基地：大东海、西岛、蜈支洲岛、亚龙湾和小东海。这里的海水清澈澄莹，能见度在8到16米，有些地方可达25米。因为其良好的生态环境，吸引了众多形态各异，色彩斑斓的热带鱼种来此定居，形成了三亚海底绚烂多姿的景观，三亚也因此被国际潜水专家一致认为是南太平洋最适合潜水的旅游胜地之一。随着潜水的游客越来越多，一些外国潜水机构也纷纷在三亚设立培训班，培训潜水教练。CMAS（世界水中运动联盟）、NAUI（国际潜水教练协会）、ADS（世界潜水学校联盟）、PADI（国际潜水教练专业协会）、SSI（国际水肺潜水学校）等，都在三亚设立了培训机构。潜水注意下列病患不适合从事潜水运动: 酒(醉)后、心脏病、羊痫风、感冒、神经过敏症、气喘、糖尿病、高(低)血压、有关耳鼻疾病。主要潜水基地蜈支洲岛潜水海南最有名的潜水之地当数有“中国的马尔代夫”之称的蜈支洲岛。这是海南最值得一玩的潜水基地。亚龙湾爱琴海岸潜水亚龙湾爱琴海岸潜水度假村，分东排岛潜水和西排岛潜水，这里海水清澈透明，能见度极高。亚龙湾海底世界潜水亚龙湾海底世界潜水可以观看世界最大、最完整的软珊蝴族群及丰富多彩的硬珊瑚、热带鱼类等海洋生物。大东海潜海潜水位于三亚大东海旅游区的“海域18°国际潜水俱乐部”是目前中国最大的潜水基地。拥有国际上最好的4个超大潜水平台、50个单间更衣室，可满足100人同时冲淡水，具备日接待游客量5000人的能力。西岛潜海潜水西岛又名玳瑁岛，位于三亚自然保护区内，海水污染少，空气清新，海水清澈见底。岛的西面海域是游客潜水区，拥有上百套进口潜水设备及三十多名潜水教练。基本上保证每位潜水游客对应一名潜水教练。分界洲岛潜海潜水分界洲岛是海南新兴的潜水基地，地处海南岛重要的分水岭——牛岭。分界洲岛的潜水项目是最多的，除了常规的岸潜、浮潜、船潜之外，还有更为刺激的洞穴潜水、沉船潜水等。  帆船海口是我国帆船帆板的重要冬训基地。国家（海口）帆船帆板训练基地于1984年兴建。主要任务是每年冬季接待国家集训队和全国各省市帆船帆板队集训和承办全国锦标赛。  沙排从2002年10月开始，中国沙排队正式到三亚训练。2007年中国沙滩排球队永久训练基地在三亚湾落成。2008年，三亚举办了世界级沙滩排球巡回赛。  水上摩托风靡世界的沙滩摩托在海南大部分滨海度假酒店和分界洲岛、西岛、亚龙湾和大东海等地都有机会可以享受到。  冲浪海南岛东南海岸分布着众多的海湾：香水湾、石梅湾、日月湾、南燕湾。这些海湾虽无夏威夷的滔天骇浪，但部分海湾浪高可达四米，全年适宜冲浪的时间从10月到来年4月达半年以上，加之赏心悦目的风光，仍不失为开展冲浪运动的天堂乐土。  其它娱乐项目快艇海钓、平台海钓、夜钓、岸钓、豪华快艇环岛、香蕉船、水下VCD摄影、船潜＋拖伞等。游艇︱邮轮游艇是近几年在国内兴起的，正在成为人们娱乐休闲的新兴旅游消费品的旅游项目。目前在海口、三亚、陵水等正在开发建设的大型国际旅游度假区，均规划建设游艇会、游艇码头。如：三亚鸿洲国际游艇会、三亚湾新城游艇会、半山半岛游艇会、陵水清水湾游艇会、陵水富力湾游艇会、美源海口湾游艇会等。在不久的未来，随着这些旅游度假区的逐步建成投入使用，海南岛的游艇经济将会迎来蓬勃的发展。海南尤其是三亚，近年来的邮轮业发展快速增长，邮轮到访数量已遥居全国港口城市之首，三亚还拥有全国首个10万吨级豪华邮轮专用码头——凤凰岛国际邮轮港，港口条件优越。目前，位居世界前三位的邮轮公司：美国嘉年华、美国皇家加勒比和新加坡丽星公司均有豪华邮轮开通三亚航线。有香港—三亚—越南下龙湾航线，香港—东南亚四国（新加坡、马来西亚、印度尼西亚和泰国）—越南下龙湾—三亚航线等热门航线。国际邮轮航班量增长迅速，达99航次，在国内各海港口岸中名列前茅。通过海上进出境的游客超过10万人次。美国、法国、英国等地的国际高端游客通过邮轮到达三亚，为海南旅游注入了高端旅游元素。主要邮轮码头、游艇会三亚凤凰岛国际邮轮港凤凰岛国际邮轮港口位于三亚市河口外，距三亚湾光明路海边西南岸400米。是从大海礁盘上围海吹填出来的人工岛，占地547.6亩，规划建设25万吨级、10万吨级码头泊位和5万吨级码头泊位。已建成的10万吨级码头泊位，是目前中国设施最齐备的专用邮轮港口之一。预计到2014年，三个码头将全面建成，总投资约100亿元人民币。未来的凤凰岛国际邮轮港将成为亚洲面向中国沿海、日本、韩国、俄罗斯和东南亚及世界各地的最大的国际邮轮始发中心。三亚鸿洲国际游艇会鸿州国际游艇会拥有目前海南省唯一的国际水准私家码头，为Bellingham风格，一期码头位于三亚鹿回头山下可抗12级台风的天然避风港内，共有72个泊位，可停泊最长36米左右的船艇。这里海域辽阔，气候宜人，一年四季皆适合驾艇出海。海口贵族游艇会海口贵族游艇会是国内第一家按五星级标准建设的会所制国际化游艇俱乐部，拥有豪华别墅、豪华套房、标准客房及各类休闲娱乐设施，功能齐全，舒适豪华，是海南唯一一处既临海又有温泉的游艇度假胜地。滨海度假酒店躺在柔软的沙滩上，轻闭双眼，听着涛声，沐浴温暖的阳光；或者在温泉泳池里慢游两圈；又或者去水疗中心做个皮肤护理，缓解压力，享受安详……这一切，在海南众多的度假酒店内都不是奢望。海南省因为独特的地理位置和人文环境成为度假酒店兴建的一块宝地，由众多世界知名设计公司所设计的世界排名靠前的酒店管理集团所管理的滨海高级度假酒店成为海南海岸休闲生活不可缺少的重要元素。目前三亚亚龙湾已经集聚了高星级酒店19家；而在海棠湾“国家海岸”，未来五星级以上的度假酒店将达到18家；在陵水珍珠海岸的香水湾、土福湾和清水湾三大湾内，已规划至少25家五星级以上度假酒店。据统计，海南2010年全部营业的五星级酒店至少36家，海南成为名副其实的“五星级酒店岛”，其中三亚以超过21家的数量，成国内高星级酒店最密集的城市。喜来登、万豪、利兹卡尔顿、希尔顿、文华东方、君悦、柏悦等顶尖的酒店品牌，正在逐步成为海南国际旅游岛建设的一支生力军。主要酒店海口喜来登温泉度假酒店地址：海口市滨海大道199号电话：

理想的第二居所优美的自然环境，四季如春的气候，清新的空气，养生的圣地，纯朴的民风和多元的文化以及未来的巨大发展潜力。海南岛正在成为越来越多外地甚至是国外游客理想的第二居住地。全中国可能再也无法找出像海南岛这样的“特殊”房产市场了。之所以说特殊，一是因为在海南购房的95%以上都是非常住人口，二是因为在这些购房的外地人口之中，所购房产用来度假和养老的比例又超过95%。由此可见，海南这片热土对全中国乃至世界游客的吸引力。 2009年10月，由鲁能集团房产公司投资兴建的“鲁能城”将同时向市场推出三亚湾新城游艇2区、海口的海蓝福源首期桃花涧项目和海蓝椰风二期、三期三大产品，力度之大是过去16年从来没有过的。其中，三亚湾新城占地6.8平方公里，拥有9公里长的海岸线，面积甚至大过广州CBD珠江新城。位于海口西海岸的海蓝福源则占地11平方公里。加之三亚大东海滨海豪宅群山海天，“鲁能城”在海南的项目土地面积已经达到19平方公里。　目前在海南，像“鲁能城”这样的超大型地产项目还有很多。2009年3月开盘的雅居乐清水湾项目是雅居乐和摩根士丹利联手开发的，占地高达1.5万亩，总投资达200多亿元，开发面积900万平方米，开发周期长达10年。甚至被海南省作为“国际旅游岛”的一张名片。广东的地产商富力地产也大手笔投资海南。2008年，珍珠海岸所在的陵水县政府提出打造“珍珠海岸：休闲度假之洲”的个性化旅游品牌，富力地产在珍珠海岸的香水湾开始打造旅游地产项目富力湾，投资超过15亿。在富力湾的带动下，仅珍珠海岸三大湾之一的香水湾就已经吸引了13家大公司进驻。海南岛大开发正进行的如火如荼！主要度假地产夏威夷海岸地址：海口市滨海大道286号电话：

（产品六）天然氧吧，自由呼吸——热带雨林海南岛拥有中国最完美和种类最丰富的热带雨林。目前，海南岛已建成尖峰岭、五指山、霸王岭、吊罗山等著名国家级热带雨林保护区和森林公园。海南热带雨林是生长在热带地区的一种特殊森林系统。林中树种繁多，附生植物密布，藤本植物品种多数量大，棕榈科阔叶植物茂盛，落叶植物极少，一年四季花果常有。由于结构复杂，植物茂盛，热带雨林也成为众多野生动物的理想栖息地。主要热带雨林景区尖峰岭尖峰岭国家森林公园是海南省第一个国家级森林公园，位于海南岛西南部，跨乐东、东方两县市。面积达447平方公里，有我国现存整片面积最大、保存最完好的热带雨林。其中孕育了3000 多种植物和4700 多种动物。因其植被类型的完整性、雨林特征的典型性和生物多样性的丰富性。尖峰岭年平均气温19.7℃，最高月平均22.9℃，最低月平均15.1℃，人称“热岛凉山”，空气中负氧离子含量高达5000～80000个/立方厘米，是一个天然大氧吧。霸王岭霸王岭自然保护区横跨东方、昌江和白沙，总面积177.9万亩，森林覆盖率为96.7%。霸王岭林区是海南热带雨林的典型代表，气候温和，雨量充沛，动植物种类繁多，生态系统完整，生态功能齐全，具有典型性、独特性、珍稀性、多样性四大特征，分布有野生植物2213种，野生动物365种。其中独有的海南长臂猿是全球现有的灵长类动物中数量最少、极度濒危的物种，目前仅19只。保护区的斧头山一带是濒危的海南黑冠长臂猿生息的地方。此外还有珍贵的云豹、黑熊、水鹿等多种珍稀动物。五指山五指山自然保护区位于海南省琼中县的东部，总面积为13612.4公顷。海南岛的主要河流万泉河、昌化江发源于此。五指山的主要经济树种有400多种，属国家一、二级保护的珍贵树种有60多种，如海南五针松、雅加松、鸡毛松、海南罗汉松等。经济植物、珍稀和常用药用植物有30多种，如海南粗榧、土沉香、黄胆木等。保护区动物资源丰富，有较高经济价值的动物有赤麂、野猪、野兔、斑鸠、金钱龟等。国家保护动物，一级有黑长臂猿、云豹、巨蜥、海南山鹧鸪等；二级有黑熊、猕猴、穿山甲、小灵猫、水鹿、鹦鹉、银胸丝冠鸟等。吊罗山吊罗山国家森林公园是海南六大热带雨林地区之一，地跨陵水、保亭、琼中3县，现有面积18398公顷，是海南省保留有热带原始林面积最大的自然保护区之一，也是我国热带雨林的典型代表。吊罗山自然保护区的物种具有很强的特有性、珍稀性，濒危程度很高，目前列入国家重点保护的植物和珍稀濒危植物达146种，其中的根抱石、高板根、古藤缠树、老茎生花、空中花篮和树木绞杀等奇观极具观赏价值，尤其是中国濒危保护植物——植物活化石桫椤树随处可见。特色旅游项目海南丰富的热带雨林资源吸引了许多热爱户外运动的游客前往探寻，现在已经开发出了雨林探险、雨林漂流、户外野营等多种热带雨林旅游产品。主要户外俱乐部海南山猪户外运动俱乐部电话：

（产品七）古老神秘，源远流长——民俗文化千百年来，古朴独特的民族风情使海南的社会风貌显得异常丰富多彩。黎族、苗族、回族同是海南省的世居民族。他们与当地汉族一道共同开发海南岛，建设海南岛，创造了悠久的历史和独特的文化。民族文化秦始皇在公元前214年便在海南设郡，从此中原文化便开始在海南岛扎根，与海南本地民族文化互相滋润融汇，汉族移民从唐朝以后开始大量迁入，后成为海南的主要移民。从移民来源地和在海南的分布地域分为中原人、闽人和广东人。黎族是海南岛最早的居民。黎族文化是在海南岛独持的自然环境和历史条件下形成的。在物态文化方面，有驰名于世的黎锦及纺织技术，有独具特色的船形屋，有实用与艺术完美结合的独木器具，有极具南国特色的黎医、黎药等；在符号文化方面，有丰富的音乐舞蹈、故事歌谣、礼仪风俗等，它反映了黎族人民淳朴乐观和坚强刚毅的精神；在观念文化上，主要通过伦理道德、宗教信仰表现出来，它是黎族文化中最深层的东西。苗族文化是与汉族、黎族杂居共处中形成的。苗族在历史上不耕平土，以伐山岭为国，居无定所，主要种山兰稻。中华人民共和国成立后，逐渐移居平地，始种水稻。海南回族文化与内地回族文化有较大差别。他们通用汉语汉文，但日常用语为回辉话（属南岛语系占语群的一种）。主要从事海洋捕鱼、交通、贸易等。妇女精明能干，擅长经商。妇女头戴毛巾，上衣为斜襟大褂，多穿长裤。笃信伊斯兰教，日常生活谨守《古兰经》规范。民间艺术琼剧琼剧是海南特有的本土剧种，迄今已有300多年的历史。琼剧用海南方言演唱，因其形成于古称琼州所在地琼山，因此国外琼籍华侨谓之“琼州戏”、“琼音”。“琼剧”它主要流行于海南岛各市县，是海南人民喜闻乐见的一种戏剧形式，也是独具特色的海南优秀文化传统之一。临高人偶戏临高人偶戏系从民间用佛像祭祀的宗教活动演变而来，故亦称“佛子戏”。其表演特点为幕台不设布幛，演员手擎木偶化装登台，人与偶在台上共同扮演角色，以人的表演弥补木偶感情的不足。人偶戏以本地的民歌调为主要唱腔，优美动听。临高人偶戏是全国惟海南独有、世界少见的稀有剧种。主要流行于海南岛西北部的临高县及周边的海口市、澄迈县、儋州市等市县中操临高话的乡镇，是中华民族非物质文化遗产的瑰宝。黎族织锦黎族织锦工艺存续三千年以上，是文化活化石，由黎族棉纺织工艺、麻纺织工艺及缬染工艺合并而成。海南岛黎族棉纺织工艺在宋元以前曾领先中原地区一千多年，对促进我国棉纺织业的发展做出了特殊贡献。黎族服饰是黎族传统棉纺织工艺的结晶，具有典型的民族特征，各方言服饰，在历史上曾是区分不同血缘集团和部落群体的重要标志。黎族织锦图案丰富多彩，多达160种以上。黎族打柴舞黎族打柴舞又称竹竿舞，起源于古崖州黎族丧葬活动，是黎族民间最具代表性的舞种。黎语称“转刹”，起源于古崖州（今三亚市）黎族丧葬活动。它具有一套完整的舞具和跳法，舞具是有两条垫木和数对小木组成。舞者跳入木棍中，来回跳跃、蹲伏，模仿人类活动和各种动物的动作及声音。打柴舞具有很强的娱乐性，到目前为止，全黎族地区仅三亚市崖城镇朗典村一直保留这一舞蹈古俗。节日庆典军坡节每年农历二月初九至十九，琼山市新坡镇和全省不少地方，举行一次为期四天的“军坡节”。这是纪念冼夫人而举行的民间奉祀活动。三月三三月三是海南黎族人民悼念勤劳勇敢的先祖、追求爱情幸福的传统节日，也是黎族青年的美好日子，故也称爱情节，黎族称“孚念孚”。自古以来，每年农历三月初三，黎族人民都会身着节日盛装，挑着山兰米酒，带上竹筒香饭，从四面八方汇集一起，或祭拜始祖，或三五成群相会、对歌、跳舞、吹奏乐器来欢庆佳节。换花节海南“换花节”始于唐代贞观年间，至今已有上千年的历史，是海口琼山地区特有的民间节日。以前人们换的是香，意在香火不绝、相互祈福。至上世纪８０年代，人们发现花更能代表心意，还能避免在拥挤中被香烛的火苗烫伤，于是传统的换香变成了换花。“换花节”还被当还被当成海南的“情人节”，青年男女们通过换花向对方表达内心的情感。儋州民间歌节中秋为儋州民间歌节。歌节主要活动是儋州山歌、调声对歌比赛和“赏月”等项目。欢乐节海南岛欢乐节，由海南省政府和国家旅游局主办的全省性旅游节庆，每年11月举行。作为新策划的旅游节庆活动，通过在各市县、由旅游界为主并吸引社会各方面参与举办的各种旅游和娱乐活动。（产品八）执子之手，相约天涯——蜜月度假作为中国唯一的热带海滨城市，海南岛有着碧蓝的晴空，清澈的海水，柔软的沙滩，这些优越的自然环境都将精心装点新人们与众不同的婚姻殿堂。近几年来，海南迅速成为国内外新人蜜月旅游的最佳目的地，海南岛也因此得其美誉——“蜜月岛”，除了来自国内各地的蜜月新人外，越来越多的韩国、日本等青年游客也将海南作为蜜月旅行的首选地。三亚自1996年开始，每年年底举办“三亚天涯海角国际婚庆节”，目前成功举办十三届，现已发展成为集婚庆旅游和蜜月度假于一体的精品旅游节庆活动。浪漫婚礼之都——三亚，由于特殊的地理位置，作为全球最大的室外婚纱拍摄基地，同时拥有着蓝天、大海、银滩、温泉、热带雨林等浪漫婚庆的必备元素。在三亚可以举办多种极富创意的个性化、特色主题婚礼——奇异浪漫的海底婚礼、惊险刺激的空中婚礼、沙滩婚礼、草坪婚礼等等婚礼形式。婚纱摄影海南现有数十家专业婚纱摄影机构，其中大部分可以承接个性时尚的用其海南美丽的自然环境拍摄婚纱照片的业务。越来越多的中外游客选择将自己人生最幸福甜蜜的瞬间留在美丽的海南岛。主要婚纱摄影机构海口最爱婚纱摄影电话：

Caribbean islands, Bali, Fiji, Phuket, the Maldives …China’s Hainan Island @ 18° North Published by: Hainan Provincial Tourism Development Committee 86(898)6520-0620 Hainan Welcomes You China’s only tropical island province is China’s most popular tropical seaside resort. Fresh air, plenty of sunshine, clean clear water, and no winter you can always enjoy the “Healthy Sunshine Island”. The Secretary General of the World Tourism Organization praised Hainan by saying that “Hainan is a paradise on earth, a joy to the Chinese people, and the pearl of all mankind.” In the 22 years since Hainan became a Special Economic Zone the tourism industry has undergone considerable development and become a major part of the national economy. Relying on the unique ecological tourism resources and superior geographic advantages particular to Hainan Island the local government has worked towards building up a strong tourism infrastructure capable of sustained economic growth and the creation of an international holiday-oriented brand-oriented island. Golf, spa, sports, and Chinese medicinal therapy are among Hainan’s most famous products at home and abroad. With the goal of gradually building the infrastructure to a highly internationalized level Hainan is currently working towards becoming an International Tourism Island. We believe that the beautiful ecological environment and cultural charm of this unique area will lead to the investment of time and money by domestic and foreign talent. The “Reform and Opening Up” strategy which brought China onto the international scene in the 1980s will bring Hainan onto the international scene in the early 2010s. Sun island; vacation paradise. We welcome you. Hainan Tourism Development Committee Fun on Hainan Island Introduction to Hainan Idyllic Ocean Island, Special Economic Zone, Vacation Paradise What do Bali, Fiji, the Maldives, Miami, Hawaii, Phuket and Hainan Island all have in common? Don’t know? Look at a map. They’re all located at 18° north latitude. In terms of weather and ecology this is the perfect location for a tropical resort. Known throughout China and Asia as the “eco-island” Hainan has a first class natural environment with oceans, wildlife, plant life, mineral and tourism resources. Four seasons of spring like weather contribute to the forest coverage rate of more than 58%. “阳光” Sun, “海水” Sea, “沙滩” Beach, “空气” Fresh Air, and “绿色” a Green Environment are the five necessary factors that make this unique tropical island into an ideal vacation paradise or home. Hainan is that and so much more. It’s also the “sun island,” “healthy island,” “romantic honeymoon island,” “sports island” and China’s “International Tourism Island.” Geography: Hainan Province, also known as “琼” or the “Jade Island” is located on the southernmost tip of China. The province includes the main island, the Zhongsha (中沙) and Xisha (西沙) Islands, the Spratly Archipelago (南沙群岛) and the territorial waters surrounding these islands. With the largest ocean area (210 million square kilometers) and the smallest land area (3.4 million square kilometers), Hainan is both China’s largest and smallest province. Taiwan is the only Chinese island larger than Hainan. The provincial capital, Haikou, is located at the north end of the island. Climate and Temperature: Hainan has a tropical monsoon climate, fresh air, plenty of sunshine, abundant vegetation, long summers, and no winters of which to speak. The “sunshine island” gets approximately 300 days of sunshine per year. The mountainous center of the island has the lowest temperatures while the southwestern portion of the island reaches an average annual high of 23.8 ℃. January’s average temperature is 17.2℃. July’s average temperature is 28.4℃. Population and Ethnic Groups: Thirty seven distinct ethnic groups call Hainan home with the Han (汉), Hui (回), Li (黎), and Miao or Hmong (苗) having the largest populations. The total population of Hainan is 8.5 million - 1.4 million of which are ethnic minorities. With 1.1 million Li resident on Hainan Island the province is famous in China as a Li Minority region. Hainan is also well known for its high population of returned Overseas Chinese (more than 1 million). Natural Resources: Hainan’s abundant natural resources make her rich. Agricultural products grown on Hainan included bananas, binlang (or betel nut), coconuts, litchi, longan, mangoes and many other varieties of tropical fruit. With large tracts of tropical rainforest still undamaged by man Hainan boasts a forest coverage rate of 58% or more. There are over 4000 types of plants native to the island of which 630 are uniquely Hainanese. The coastline stretches 1528 kilometers with sixty eight natural harbors. More than 800 different kinds of sea life are found in the waters around Hainan. There are fifty nine different kinds of minerals found on Hainan, thirty six of which are both valuable and found in large enough quantities to mine. The coastal waters are rich in oil and natural gas of which it is estimated more than 700 billion cubic meters of the 1040 billion cubic meters will be extractable. Economy: Relying on its unique natural environment Hainan’s economy focuses primarily on tourism, real estate and tropical agriculture. In recent years real estate (especially winter properties) has shown rapid development and booming sales. Tropical fruits, seafood, and other agricultural products sell well on both the domestic and international markets. The current economy is primarily tourism based as rapid growth in this sector has produced a system capable of providing all the necessary requirements for tourist reception and service. The tourist economy of Hainan is built around five important factors: “吃” Food, “住” Housing, “行” Transportation, “游” Travel, “购” Shopping, and “娱” Entertainment. The current annual capacity is twenty five million visitors per year. Today Hainan is trying to build itself into a world class International Tourism Island. Hainan Resort Commodities Green Ocean, Blue Passion, Marine Leisure When God created the Heavens and the Earth he was kind to Hainan Island giving it a beautiful sea environment – sometimes wild, sometimes calm. God gave Hainan so many different colors of green and blue, a white sandy beach, a multicolored undersea world, over 1500 kilometers of coastline, and 200 million square kilometers of sea. Hainan was made into an island paradise perfect for marine sports and marine leisure. Sports Chinese and foreign visitors alike love the ocean and ocean sports. Ocean sports currently available in Hainan include diving, sailing, windsurfing, yachting, surfing jet skiing, beach volleyball, and beach soccer.  Beach Volleyball Since October 2002 the Chinese national beach volleyball team has trained in Sanya. Starting in 2007 a permanent training base was built at Sanya Bay specifically for the use of the national team. In 2008 Sanya hosted a world-class Beach Volleyball competition.  Diving Among the many ocean sports available in Hainan, diving is hot, hot, hot! If you want to dive in China, Sanya is currently the best place to go. At present there are five diving bases located in and around Sanya: Dadonghai 18° Ocean International Diving Club, West Island (西岛), Wuzhizhou Island (蜈支洲岛), Yalong Bay (亚龙湾), and Xiaodonghai (小东海). The water here is clear with visibility ranging from 8-16 meters (and in some places up to 25 meters). The environment attracts a splendid variety of colorful tropical fish. International diving experts agree that Sanya provides some of the best diving available in the South Pacific. With an ever increasing number of tourists coming to Sanya to dive, many international diving schools provide diving instructors and/or have set up training centers and training courses in Sanya. These include ADS (the world's diving Coalition of Essential Schools), CMAS (World Water Sports Union), NAUI (International Diving Coaches Association), PADI (Professional Association of International Diving Coach), and SSI (Scuba Diving International School) among others. Dadonghai Ocean Diving (大东海潜海潜水) Dàdōnghăi Qiánhăi Qiánshuĭ Because of its rich tropical vegetation, wide variety of coral, and colorful tropical fish population the base at Dadonghai is one of China’s best known for diving. The year round water temperature is 20℃ or above. West Island Ocean Diving (西岛潜海潜水) Xīdăo Qiánhăi Qiánshuĭ West Island (also known as Turtle Island) is located in the Sanya Nature Reserve. The ocean around West Island is generally free from pollution and the water is exceptionally clear. The waters west of the island are a tourist diving area with imported diving equipment and more than thirty certified diving instructors. Wuzhizhou Island Diving (蜈支洲岛潜水) Wúzhīzhōudăo Qiánshuĭ Hainan’s most famous dive center must be the “Chinese Maldives” at Wuzhizhou Island. With underwater visibility of up to 27 meters, superior customer service, diving and snorkeling equipment, this is easily the best place to go swim and play and dive. Yalong Bay Diving (亚龙湾海岸潜水) Yàlóngwān Hăi’àn Qiánshuĭ Diving at Yalong Bay generally takes place at either the East or West Pai Islands. The sea water here is clear and clean with high visibility levels. There is a wide variety of hard coral and tropical fish to be seen here.  Jet Skiing Jet skis can be found for rent at most nearly all seacoast resort hotels, Boundary Islet, West Island, Yalong Bay, Dadonghai, and other locations around Hainan.  Sailing and Windsurfing The China General Administration of Sport National Sailing Base was built in Haikou 1984 and has been the main location for winter training camps for local, provincial, and national level sailing teams and the Chinese Sailing Championship Cup ever since.  Surfing Hainan Island’s southeastern coast is dotted with a number of bays that provide great surf. These include: Clearwater Bay, Shimei Bay, Sun and Moon Bay, and Nanyan Bay. Although the surf scene in Hainan is no Hawaii waves can get up to four meters in height making the island suitable for surfing for the six months from October to April. The surf might not be perfect but the combination of surf and scenery makes it a surfer’s paradise.  Other Forms of Entertainment Banana boats, deep sea fishing, night fishing, paragliding, platform fishing, ‘round the island yacht cruises, shore fishing, and underwater photography, are but a few of the other options available to tourists visiting Hainan. Yachting As China’s economic situation improves, yachting has become one of the newest emerging leisure consumer products in China. Haikou, Sanya, and Lingshui are currently in the process of constructing large scale international tourist resort areas featuring marinas and yacht clubs. The Clearwater Bay Yacht Club, Haikou Mayard Yacht Club, Mountain Peninsula Yacht Club, Prosperity Bay Yacht Club, Sanya Hong Zhou International Yacht Club, and Sanya Bay New City Yacht Club are but a few of the ones already built or currently under construction. As these facilities come online and are gradually put into use it is expected that yachting culture in Hainan will take off! Cruises The cruise ship industry in Sanya has increased rapidly in the past few years. Sanya is now the top Chinese port-of-call for cruise ships. Sanya boasts the first 100,000 ton cruise ship berth (located at the Phoenix Island International Cruise Ship Terminal) and the condition of the port at Sanya is constantly improving. Carnival and Royal Caribbean, the world’s foremost cruise lines, have already opened routes to Sanya. These are as follows: Hong Kong → Sanya → Halong Bay (Vietnam), Hong Kong → Singapore → Malaysia → Indonesia → Thailand, and Halong Bay → Sanya. International cruise traffic has been increasing rapidly with over ninety nine departures already scheduled per year. Sanya’s Phoenix Island International Cruise Ship Terminal currently has the largest number of international cruise ship departures per year of any port in China. Per year there are over one hundred thousand visitors from the US, France, England, and domestic locations who arrive and depart Sanya by sea. Hainan is well on its way to being a high-end cruise ship vacation destination. Cruise Ship Terminal: Phoenix Island International Cruise Ship Terminal (三亚凤凰岛国际邮轮港) Sānyà Fènghuángdăo Guójì Yóulún Găng Phoenix Island, an artificial island built 400 meters out into Sanya Bay, covers an area of nearly forty hectares. There are plans in the work for 50,000, 100,000 and 250,000 ton berths. One 100,000 ton berth has already been completed. This is China’s most complete cruise ship port. With investment of 100 billion renminbi the three terminals will be fully complete and in operation by 2014. Cruises leaving from Phoenix Island will go to Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Russia and Southeast Asia. It will be one of the world’s largest international cruise centers. Yacht Clubs: Hong Zhou International Yacht Club (三亚鸿洲国际游艇会) Sānyà Hóngzhōu Guójì Yóutĭng Huì Sanya’s pleasant year round weather makes it especially suitable for boating. With a Bellingham style private pier and seventy two berths capable of holding boats up to 36 meters in length the Sanya Hong Zhou International Yacht Club is the only international standard private pier in Hainan. Located inside the harbor at the foot Deer Looking Back Mountain the Hong Zhou International Yacht Club facilities are easily able to withstand force 12 typhoons. Noble Yacht Club (海口贵族游艇会) Hăikŏu Guìzú Yóutĭng Huì Comfortable and luxurious at the same time, Haikou Noble Yacht Club was the first such yacht club built to international five-star standards in China. It has luxury villas, luxury suites, hotel rooms, meeting rooms, recreational facilities, hot springs, and (of course) yachts. Seaside Resorts: Lie on the beach. Close your eyes. Listen to the waves. Feel the warm sunshine on your skin. Take a leisurely dip in the swimming pool. Soak in the hot springs. Facials and massage at the spa. Enjoy the tranquility. Does life get any better than this? Hainan’s unique location and geographical features have caused it to be chosen by numerous world-renowned design companies and top-ranking hotel management groups for their resort hotels. As a result the indolent lifestyle described above is within easy reach at Hainan’s many luxury resorts. There are now nineteen international quality star rated resorts located in Sanya’s Yalong Bay Tourism Resort District. There are eighteen 5-star resort hotels planned for Crabapple Bay. The three bays on Lingshui’s Pearl Coast will eventually have over twenty five 5-star resort hotels. In 2010 Hainan will already have thirty six 5-star resort hotels in operation. More than twenty one of these resorts are located in and around Sanya City making it China’s “5-Star Resort City”. What do Sheraton Marriot Hilton Mandarin Oriental Grand Hyatt Park Hyatt.

More and more mainlanders and foreigners alike are coming to discover that Hainan Island is the perfect place to buy a second home. In October 2009 Luneng Real Estate Investment Development Group began the Luneng City development project. The Luneng City project along with the Sanya Bay New City, Haikou Lanfuyuan, Haikou Peach Flower, and the second and third stages of Blue Sea Coconut Breeze real estate projects are unprecedented in the last sixteen years of development in Hainan Province. With 9 kilometers of coastline, Sanya Bay’s newest development area will cover an area of 6.8 square kilometers. Difficult as it may be to believe, that’s larger than the Guangzhou Pearl River New City CBD! Taken together, the luxurious Shanhaitian in Sanya’s Dadonghai and Haikou’s Lanfuyuan mean that Luneng Real Estate Investment Development Group has already completed construction on 19 square kilometers of property on Hainan Island. Luneng Real Estate Investment Development Group’s major projects in Haikou and Sanya are not the only large sale real estate development projects currently underway in Hainan. In March 2009 the joint venture Clearwater Bay development project with a ten year development cycle and a development area of up to 900 million m2 of property was started. When this development is finished it will truly be possible to call Hainan an “International Tourism Island.” The Cantonese R&F Properties real estate development company has also been investing heavily in the Hainan market. Since 2008 when the People’s Government of Lingshui County approved the creation and development of the three “Pearl Coast” bays R&F has begun work on developing Perfume Bay (香水湾) and Prosperity Bay (富丽湾). With more than thirteen major companies participating in Perfume Bay alone, there has already been more than 1.5 billion renminbi invested in the Pearl Coast projects. Truly it is now possible to say that Hainan Island’s development is in full swing! Dream of Beauty As China's only tropical island, Hainan Island not only has the vast expanse of sky, clear water, soft sand, and the shade of swaying coconut palms it also has many historical and cultural sites of interest. History The history of human settlement on Hainan Island can be traced as far back as the late Paleolithic and early Neolithic periods. Remains over 10,000 years in age have been found at the Luobi Caves (落笔洞) in Sanya County and these continue to be the earliest traces found so far. The Zhuya Prefecture was set up during the early part of the Western Han Dynasty and remained a political entity throughout the Three States Period and Jin Dynasty at which point it became known as Zhuya Province. During the Tang Dynasty administration of the island was divided into the Yazhou and Danzhen Prefectures. These would later become known first as Qiongshan Prefecture and then Qiongzhou. Hainan remained known as Qiongzhou up through the Qing Dynasty and early Republican era at which point it was made a special administrative region of Guangdong Province. The Hainan Special Executive Office was established in April 1949 and the island was completely liberated and unified on May 1st,1950. Thirty four years later the People’s Congress and People’s Government of the Hainan Administrative Region were formally established eventually leading to the creation of Hainan Provincial People’s Government, the new province of Hainan, and China’s largest special economic region in April of 1988. Historical Sites of Interest: Ancestral Home of the Soong Family (宋氏祖居) Sòng Shì Zŭjū The Soong Family originally came from Changsa Town in Wenchang County on the northeastern side of Hainan Island. At the museum here one can see revolutionary era artifacts, pictures from the childhood of Soong Ching-ling (宋庆龄) and her famous sisters, historical materials, photographs, charts, paintings and reproductions. Dongpo Academy (东坡书院) Dōngpō Shūyuàn Located in Danzhou County in the northwest part of Hainan Island the Dongpo Academy was originally known as the Daijiu Academy (载酒堂) but the name was changed over 900 years ago to honor the famous author SU Dongpo (苏东坡) when he was exiled to Danzhou for a three year period during the Song Dynasty. Before reaching its present form the Dongpo Academy was been expanded upon and repaired many times during its long history. It is now one of China’s National Key Cultural Relic Sites. Five Officials Temple (五公祠) Wŭgōng Cí Five Officials Temple is a welcome spot of peace and tranquility about five kilometers from downtown Haikou. Still well inside the city limits this temple is made up of a number of buildings and outbuildings including the Five Spirits’ House (五公精舍), the Studying Hall (学圃堂), the Sugong Memorial Temple (苏公祠), the Crop Watching Hall (观稼堂), the Eastern (东斋) and Western Halls (西斋), the Grain Spring (浮粟泉), the Wine Pouring Hall (洞酌亭) and a newly built exhibition hall. Hainan Provincial Museum (海南省博物馆) Hăinán Shĕng Bówùguăn The Hainan Provincial Museum is located in Haikou at #68 Guoxing Boulevard. There are 10 exhibition halls located in the museum. Permanent exhibits include those dealing with Hainan’s history, the native culture of Hainan’s ethnic minorities, the traditional lifestyle of the ancient Hainanese people, and over 1000 valuable cultural relics including a porcelain Tang Dynasty horse with three color glaze, a Yuan Dynasty sword, and Song dynasty pottery. Well worth a visit. Hairui’s Tomb (海瑞墓) Hăiruì Mù Xiuying District’s Binya Village in the southwestern part of Haikou City is home to the tomb and memorial of Hairui, an upright official of the late Ming Dynasty who was banished to Hainan in the 16th century. The complex features a number of delightful buildings and pieces of period statuary made from local volcanic stone. The center of the complex, of course, is the tomb which is about 4 meters tall. Memorial Statue Commemorating the Red Brigade of Women (红色娘子军雕像) Hóngsè Niángzijūn Diāoxiàng This 6.8 meter tall statue in the very center of Qionghai City commemorates the bravery of the “Women’s Army” (also called the Red Brigade of Women and the central topic of the famous Chinese ballet). On May 1st, 1931 the Women’s Army was formed. They consistently distinguished themselves with bravery and their revolutionary exploits served to mobilize the masses into fighting for their liberation. Old Haikou (骑楼老街) Qílóu Lăojiē These two and three story buildings from the late 19th and early 20th century used to be the center of downtown Haikou. While Shengsha Road (胜沙路), South Xinhua Road (新华南路), Zhongshan Road (中山路), Bo’ai Road (博爱路)and Jiefang Road (解放路) are no longer the cultural and economic center of the city they still retain more than a shadow of their former glory. Built in a style familiar across southeastern Asia and parts of southern Europe these buildings are an intriguing blend of East and West. This area was named a National Level Historical Street in June of 2009 and since that time has been the focus of an extensive restoration project. Old Yazhou City (崖州古城) Yázhōu Gŭchéng You will find the Tang Dynasty remains of old Yazhou City in what is now called Yacheng Town in the northwestern part of Sanya County (about 40km from Sanya City). The South Gate of the city has been repaired to look as it once was but the rest of the remains are authentic. The Site of the First Hainan Communist Party Congress (琼崖“一大”旧址) Qióngyá Yīdà Jiùzhĭ Look for the narrow Zhulin Alley on the north side of West Jiefang Road for a monumental piece of Chinese and Hainanese history. In this small (barely 20002m) courtyard house the first Hainan Communist Party Congress was held in 1920. Wenchang Confucius Temple (文昌孔庙) Wénchāng Kŏngmiào Established during the Northern Song Dynasty, the Wenchang Confucius Temple has a total area of 33002m. The entrance to the temple features a statue of Confucius as teacher while the inside of the temple has numerous shrines and ceremonial vessels. This temple is an especially unique tourist attraction as it is perhaps the most complete ancient building complex in southern China. Called Hainan’s “First Temple” it is a Provincial-Level Key Cultural relic Site. Xiuying Battery (秀英古炮台) Xiùyīng Gŭ Pàotái Just as modern Hainan is home to many naval bases so too was the Hainan of yesteryear. Sandwiched between Haixiu Road and Jinmao in the Xiuying part of Haikou City one will find a Qing period military base that along with Humen Battery (虎门炮台) in Guangdong, Wusong Battery (吴淞炮台) in Shanghai, and Dagu Battery (大沽炮台) in Tianjin was once a major part of China’s land/sea defense structure. End of the Earth (天涯海角) Tiānyá Hăijiăo Located in Tianya Town (天涯镇) at the west of Sanya County, the so called “End of the Earth” is a series of stones which were carved with Chinese calligraphy during November of the fifty third year of the Qing Emperor Kangxi (康熙). In the 300 years since then these rocks have become famous all over China. Major Scenic Areas: There are currently seven National-level and twenty three Provincial-level Scenic Areas on Hainan Island. All told there are thirty nine beaches, twenty eight mountains and ridges, eighteen rock formations, twenty one lakes and rivers, and twenty one wild life protection areas on the island that are officially recognized as scenic areas. The width and breadth of scenic areas on Hainan Island is but one of the key ingredients essential to making it an International Tourism Island. Notable Scenic Areas Binlang Valley (槟榔谷) Bīnglang Gŭ Binlang Valley is located just north of Gansheling Ridge (甘什岭) at the junction of Sanya and Baoting Counties. It covers an area of about 25 hectares comprising dense cultivated forests of Binlang (betel nut), rainforest, the Li minority Ganshe Village (甘什黎村) and the Miao minority village Chiyou (蚩尤苗寨). This is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-form, multi-modal composite tourist destination and one of the top ten scenic spots in Hainan. Cave Park (三亚南山大小洞天旅游区) Sānyà Nánshān Dàxiăo Dòngtiān Lǚyóu Qū If you travel 40 kilometers west of downtown Sanya City you will find an astonishing collection of caves and mountains. Known since the Southern Song Dynasty this area certainly counts as Hainan Province’s oldest attraction. Melding coastal scenery, popular science, folk customs, and Chinese Taoist culture this 5A level scenic spot is well worth a visit! Dadonghai (大东海旅游度假区) Dàdōnghăi Lǚyóu Dùjià Qū Located a mere three kilometers away from Sanya Bay, Dadonghai has developed into an urban tourist resort trapped between the sea on one side, Deer Looking Back Mountain on another and Rabbit Tail Mountain on the third. This is the largest urban resort area in Hainan and as it was the first tourist area to be developed in Sanya features a complete cast of supporting features ranging from hotels to tourist submarines and a diving base. The average water temperature is between 18－22℃ year round. Deer Looking Back Park (鹿回头山顶公园) Lùhuítóu Shāndĭng Gōngyuán Situated on the mountain between Dadonghai and Sanya Bay this is a great place to look out over the city. The central feature of the park is a 15 meter high statue based on the romantic Li legend of the girl who turned into a deer. The park and the legend lend their name to Sanya which is also called “Deer City”. Dongjiao Coconut Forest (东郊椰林) Dōngjiāo Yēlín Found on the eastern seacoast of Wenchang County, the Dongjiao Coconut Forest has long been renowned as one of Hainan’s famous scenic areas. With more than 500,000 coconut trees of half a dozen different types and genus the region also has a tourist pier, a seafood square, and a number of waterfront resorts. Drum Mountain (铜鼓岭) Tónggŭ Lĭng The easternmost point of Hainan Island is a small ridge or mountain 338 meters high known as Drum Mountain or Tongguling. The area features many interesting stone formations with names like the Fairy Stone, the Silver Snake Stone, and the Sea Turtle Stone. The Wind Stone is over 3 meters tall and weighs more than 20 tons yet, because it is round on the bottom, moves with the wind. There are also temples and a Buddhist nunnery. The End of the Earth (天涯海角) Tiānyá Hăijiăo Travelling westbound 26 kilometers from Sanya Bay one will come to “The End of the Earth”. Located in Tianya Town and called thus because ancient Hainan was literally the end of the sphere of Chinese influence this is a particularly famous beauty spot in China. The spectacle of clear water, blue sky, and dozens of strangely shaped rocks (many of them with Chinese calligraphy carved into them) will make you feel you have entered a strangely beautiful yet entirely alien landscape. Hainan Tropical Animals Zoo (海南热带野生动植物园) Hăinán Rèdài Yĕshēng Dòngzhíwù Yuán Located in Dongshan Town in the Xiuying District of Haikou County the Tropical Animal Zoo is about 27 kilometers away from downtown Haikou City. Bringing more than 200 kinds of rare wild animals together from around the world the zoo also features an ornamental landscape, tropical botanical garden, Asia’s largest lion park, Asia’s largest rhesus monkey park, and a bird garden. Holiday Beach (假日海滩) Jiàrì Hăitān Haikou’s Holiday Beach is found on the Western Seacoast Area of Binhai Avenue about 7 kilometers away from the city center. 10 kilometers in length the beach is known as Haikou’s “Gold Coast”. The former Chinese Premier LI Peng (李鹏) and the President of the Ukraine are among the many party dignitaries and foreign leaders who have visited Holiday Beach. A recent reconstruction project has left Holiday Beach with new parking lot, roads, toilets, and visitor center as well as a refurbished barbeque area, camping area, seafood restaurants, sunbathing area, hot springs, lap pool, children’s swimming pool, gym, foot massage, and tea houses among its many entertainment facilities. The Impression Hainan Show, directed by ZHANG Yimou (张艺谋) is held at the Impression Hainan Theater at the east end of Holiday Beach. Limushan National Forest Park (黎母山森林公园) Límŭshān Sēnlín Gōngyuán Known to the Li people of Hainan as a sacred place since ancient times, Limushan is one of Hainan’s three major mountains. The National Forest Park area has numerous waterfalls and is divided into five main areas: Parrot Song Ridge (鹦哥岭景区), Brocade Valley (锦绣谷景区), Sky River (天河景区), Hanging Lantern Ridge (吊灯岭景区), and the Li Mother Boulders (黎母石景区). Each of these five areas is mostly virgin forest. Monkey Islet (南湾猴岛) Nánwān Hóu Dăo Although only accessible by boat or cable car Monkey Islet isn’t really an independent island but is instead a part of Lingshui’s Nanwan Peninsula (南湾半岛). With nearly 400 species of tropical plants and a hundred species of animals, Monkey Islet is China’s only peninsular monkey nature reserve. More than 2500 protected monkeys call the island home. On the cable car over you can enjoy views of the patchwork scenery created by the Lingshui Floating Fish Village. Nanshan Temple(三亚南山文化旅游区) Sānyà Nánshān Wénhuà Lǚyóu Qū The Nanshan Temple and Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone are located in Sanya’s Nanshan County about 40 kilometers away from the city center. The Nanshan Buddhism Culture Park (showcasing the traditional culture of Chinese Buddhism), Nanshan Temple, and the 108 meter tall Goddess of Mercy are but a few of the main attractions. Other attractions include shrines, a cultural center and a shopping street. Permanent Site of the Bo’Ao Economic Forum for Asia (博鳌亚洲论坛永久会址) Bó’Áo Yàzhōu Lùntán Yŏngjiŭ Huìzhĭ The permanent site of the Bo’Ao Economic Forum for Asia is located on the scenic Dongyu Island where the Wanquan River meets the sea. The conference center’s two main levels can accommodate up to 2000 people at one time. Seven Fairies Ridge Scenic Area (七仙岭景区) Qīxiānlĭng Jĭng Qū Located 10 kilometers north of Baoting Town in Baoting County the Seven Fairies Ridge Scenic Area is primarily composed of mountains and hot springs. This is Hainan’s largest hot spring tourism resort district. The charm here lies in the natural hot springs, tropical countryside and rugged cliffs. If one is feeling particularly energetic one can also hike to the top of the Seven Fairies Ridge (七仙岭). The Shishan Volcano Crater Geo-Park (雷琼石山火山群国家地质公园) Léiqióng Shìshān Huŏshān Qún Guójiā Dìzhì Gōngyuán Located about 20 kilometers outside of Haikou in Shishan Town, the Shishan Volcano Crater Geo-Park is one of a group of dormant volcanoes ranging in age from 10,000 years of age to over one million years in age. There are a total of 34 small and large groups of volcanoes with Saddle Ridge Crater (马鞍岭) – a 90 meter deep crater named for it’s shape – being the best preserved of them all. Underwater Villages (海底村庄) Hăidĭ Cūnzhuāng These villages were once part of what was then the northeastern part of the Qiongshan County (now the Qiongshan District of Haikou County). Dongying Port (东营港), Beichuang Port (北创港), Donghan Port (东寨港), and parts of Puqian Port (辅前港) in Wenchang County were all submerged at the time of the earthquake. Depending on tidal conditions at the time, boat tours through the area will allow you to see parts of the underwater villages in May and June. Houses, graves, wells, and other stone artifacts remain clearly discernible to divers. Wanquan River (万泉河) Wànquán Hé The 81 kilometer long Wanquan River is an iconic symbol of Hainan. It flows through Qionghai County from the mountains to the ocean. Called the Chinese “Amazon” by some, this is one of the cleanest rivers in China and many tourists enjoy drifting on river rafts. West Island (西玳瑁洲) Xīdàimào Zhōu The West Island Maritime Amusement World brings together a wide variety of marine leisure sports including fishing, diving, skidoo, water skiing, sailing, banana boat, and glass bottomed tourist boats. The fishing club here is the largest and best one in Sanya. Wuzhizhou Island (蜈支洲岛) Wúzhīzhōu Dăo Located in Sanya’s Crabapple Bay (海棠湾) this delightful little island was known in ancient times as “Lovers’ Island”. With various types of vacation homes, hotels, tennis courts, seafood restaurants, and sea and beach entertainment facilities this tropical plant kingdom could perhaps still be called an island for lovers. Xinglong Tropical and Botanical Gardens (兴隆热带植物园) Xīnglóng Rèdài Zhíwùyuán Founded in 1957 the Xinglong Tropical and Botanical Gardens cover an area of more than 40 hectares. More than 1,200 plant varieties including coffee, pepper, vanilla, cocoa, durian, and mangosteens are grown here. For the scientifically minded all of the plants are labeled with their Chinese and Latin names. Those not specifically inclined to science will simply enjoy the pleasant landscape and the sounds of birdsong. Yalong Bay Tourism Resort District (亚龙湾度假区) Yàlóngwān Dùjià Qū 28 kilometers to the east of downtown Sanya is the king of Hainan’s bays. With all kinds of luxury villas, conference centers, international resorts, golf courses, yacht clubs, sports centers, hotels and shopping the 7.5 kilometers of Yalong Bay are charming and beautiful at one and the same time. Environmental protection has kept underwater visibility at over 10 meters and there is a 9 kilometer square area of nationally protected coral reef just offshore. Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park (亚龙湾热带天堂森林公园) Yàlóngwān Rèdài Tiāntáng Sēnlín Gōngyuán Located in the Yalong Bay Tourism Resort Area the Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park covers a total area of over 1500 hectares. This coastal forest park was the first eco-tourism project in Sanya County. You can go on mountain climbing expeditions, hiking trips, and a wide variety of other tourism activities at this park. Yanoda Rainforest Culture Park (呀诺达雨林文化旅游区) Yanuòdá Yŭlín Wénhuà Lǚyóu Qū If you go 35 kilometers north of Sanya City you can visit the splendid Yanoda Rainforest Culture Park. Although not as large as the other preserved rainforest areas on Hainan Island, Yanoda has the advantage of being accessible from the city. Rural Tourism Whether it’s because of climate, landscape, lifestyle, or farming practices, the villages of Hainan are quite different from those of Mainland China. At present there are more than 30 villages across the island that are specifically carrying out rural tourism projects. The goal set forth by these village communities is to preserve their rural lifestyle while also improving the local quality of life. Whether it be a tour of Chengmai County’s coffee growing villages or an eco-friendly hike in the mountains directly south of Haikou City the village tours will allow you to see the many varied folk customs and pastoral scenery of Hainan Province. Primary Rural Tourism Routes: With fishing communities, farm communities, and volcanic mountains there are primarily three different kinds of rural tourism in the vicinity of Haikou City. West Route – The main attraction here is the rural villages of the Shishan volcano cluster. Villages include ancient Shishan Town (石山古镇), Rongtang Village (荣堂村), and Rujia Village (儒豪村). The scenery is best appreciated either on foot or by bicycle. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and well fitting clothing. South Route – Enjoy the simple life in the villages of Haikou County’s Qiongshan District. For a mere 15rmb you can rent a pole and tackle and go fishing at Longlin Village (龙鳞村) or bird-watching at Tianxin Village (田心村)–also called Egret Heaven for the tens of thousands of birds that come to roost every April. East Route – The attraction of these ocean fishing villages is immediately obvious upon arrival. One can take a boat around the Dongzhaigang Mangrove Forest (东寨港红树林区) before visiting the “Civilized Villages” of Yanfeng (演丰文明生态村乡). Extreme care has been taken at Yanfeng to make the area as pleasant as possible with carved wood street signs indicating the way to old style residences which have been consistently inhabited by generations of the same family. As the area is still lived in one has the opportunity to see fishing equipment both modern and antique. Great Golf Because of Hainan’s pleasant weather and unique environment, golf tourism on Hainan Island can be said to be in “full swing”. The climate is good, the environment is good, the courses are good, the landscape is good … mere words cannot serve to describe the charm of Hainan’s relatively inexpensive greens coupled with tropical scenery, hot springs, and delicious food. It’s difficult to resist the temptation. But, then again, why should you resist? Most of the 21 already completed golf courses on Hainan are located on the eastern side of the island. Golf courses range from hilly terrain to lake view, seaside, suburban, and urban. There’s even a set of links built across a series of small islands. For a perfect golf vacation, give yourself between 5 and 7 days to go around the island trying out all the different varieties of green Hainan has to offer.

Bio

Like so many people I came to China to teach English for a year after college and before graduate school. Seventeen years later, I still haven't gone to graduate school but the small translation company which I somehow found myself owning has offices in three cities.

I primarily translate tourism related materials followed by the sort of corporate back-end texts that hardly anyone ever sees but which must be done to a very high standard. More notable end clients in these fields have included CTrip and Alibaba's Ant Financial.

I prefer to translate things that I actually want to read. I will take massive pay cuts for the privilege of being allowed to translate things that are both difficult and interesting. Some of my better jobs over the years have included declassified materials for the Cold War International History Project at the Woodrow Wilson Library and books for the China Foreign Languages Press on topics ranging from economic development post Reform & Opening Up to the status of handicapped individuals.
