Map of Hainan and Major Cities

Hainan Island is a tropical paradise with seemingly endless sunshine and white sand beaches.  An exquisite gem set in the South China Sea, Hainan is often compared to Hawaii or the Mediterranean coast. 

However, we believe that Hainan is a world-class tourist destination in its own right.  In fact, Newsweek Magazine declared Hainan Island the "hot new tropical destination" for 2005!

Located between Guangdong Province and Vietnam, Hainan Island features a balmy tropical climate that averages between 22°C and 26°C, 300 days of bright sunny skies each year, more than 1500 km of pristine, undeveloped shoreline of white sand beaches, and a unique blend of ethnic an cultural richness that dates back 2000 years.  It is not hard to understand why Hainan Island has so much to offer to its visitors!

In order to truly enjoy the island, you'll want to take along the Hainan Island Travel Guide with you.  Updated frequently, the book offers visitors a rare glimpse into the island, that only experienced travellers can provide.

It includes comprehensive information on when to go, what to see when you are there, what local attractions are worth your time and which ones are not, tourist scams you need to be aware of, recommendations on where to stay and dine, and many other tips that will make planning your trip to Hainan Island effortless!

Haikou, capital of Hainan, is located on the north coast and is a favorite for visitors wanting to experience some of the history and folklore of the island. 

Sanya, favorite playground for tourists, is located on the south coast and features many of the island's top beaches, resorts and golf courses.
