Holidays in Hainan Island in China: reviews, photos. Holiday in Hainan with children

A favorite place for beach-goers who go to China is Hainan. Rest, reviews about which we will analyze in this article, this paradise island is unforgettable. Hainan is already a well-trodden path for Russian tourists. A lot of Siberians and residents of the Far East every year warm their bones under the tropical sun and treat sickness in healing springs.

The name "Hainan" is translated from Chinese as "an island lying to the south of the sea". The name is more than exact. Hainan lies in the far south of the country. And this is the second largest island of China (after Taiwan). Once it was part of Eurasia. And now from the mainland China it is separated only by a narrow strait. The area of the island is thirty-four thousand square kilometers. About eight thousand years ago numerous volcanoes erupted in Hainan. Now they are extinct, but left behind a memory - curative thermal springs. And this circumstance makes rest on Hainan not only pleasant, but also useful for health.

Arriving on a bucolic island, it's hard to believe that in the Middle Ages it was the place of exile of the nobles disliked by the emperor. Now it has turned into a resort. True, this happened only in 1988, when Hainan was allocated to a separate province and rapid development of the tourism industry began. You can come here either on a voucher or on your own. Guests are always welcome here.

Nature and climate. When to go on vacation?

The only truly tropical island, if we talk about China, is Hainan. Rest, reviews about which cause the desire to come here, is not recommended here only in the winter. But more than three hundred days a year the sky over Hainan is clear. This island is deservedly called the eastern Hawaii. Here there is the whole entourage, which is inherent in tropical resorts: luscious green palm trees, banana-coconuts, turquoise warm sea, white sand beaches. The average annual air temperature here is +24 degrees, and the water is all twenty-six degrees. In the South China Sea, corals grow with their variegated life of reef dwellers, so rest on the island of Hainan is also attractive for divers.

Russian tourists from the eastern part of the country come here in the winter months, especially for the celebration of the New Year and Christmas. The climate at this time, as in the Red Sea resorts of Egypt: day +24 degrees, and the evenings are cool.

The best time to visit Hainan tourists consider the period from November to April. Below we give an account of how good the tropical island of China is in spring and summer. But what should be avoided is the arrival in Hainan during the celebration of the Chinese New Year (late January or early February). Prices in 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 cities of Russia connect only the charters in the tourist season with the eastern Hawaii. You can fly to Almaty by regular flight, and from there - to Hainan, with a transfer in the city of Urumqi. Also on the tropical island, tourists get domestic flights through Hong Kong, as well as Beijing and Shanghai (mainland China).

Hainan has two international airports. The first - "Camellia" - is located in the capital of Haikou Island. This city is in the north, while the main resorts of eastern Hawaii are in the south. Therefore, if you can choose, then prefer the point of arrival airport "Phoenix" in Sanya. This city is the center of the entire Hainan Riviera resort. In principle, a visa can be opened directly upon arrival at Sanya airport, but experienced tourists do not really recommend it if you travel independently and are not included in the group list.

There are free buses from "Camellia" to the center of Haikou. Travel time is half an hour. A taxi ride will cost about a hundred yuan. From the airport "Phoenix" to various resorts of the southern tip of the island are followed by regular buses. The trip to Sanya will cost ten yuan, to Dadonghai - 20, to Yalong Bay - 30.

Transport links in Hainan Island

Beautiful roads connect all key settlements. On the tip of the island is a high-speed road. You can travel around Eastern Hawaii not only by buses and taxis, but also by moto and trishaws. However, the payment for travel in this case also depends on the weight of the passenger. Agree on the price with the rickshaw should be in advance.

There is also a railway on the island. Trains are fast, very comfortable, unlike those that run in mainland China. Tourists warn that a ticket, costing an average of eighty five yuan, should be kept until the end of the trip. It will be needed to leave the station at the point of arrival.

Rest on Hainan is impossible without visiting the "Monkey Island". It can be reached by a cable car. It is interesting that buses on Hainan travel not only between settlements. There are many routes going to tourist places. In the bay of Sanyavan there is a bus № 102, in Dudunhai - № 2 and 4. Also shuttle buses to the bay "Dragon of Asia", park "Edge of the World", the temple of Nanshan.

Sanya with the capital of Haikou Island is connected by regular (every twenty minutes) bus service. The main station is located on Jie Fang Avenue. Taxis on the island are only official - with a counter and even a terminal for bank cards. Tariffs are indicated on the windshield or the rear door of the car.

Popular resorts

Rest in China, on the island of Hainan, will taste all types of tourists. Surfers are attracted by Dadunhai Bay. Here, ideal winds are blowing, generating the right wave. All hotels of this resort are located on the first line from the sea. But the municipal beaches of Dadonghai are often overcrowded, as along with European tourists on the beach and go out to the local holidaymakers. The Chinese love not so much to sunbathe and swim, how much to gather large companies and something loud and loud to discuss. To this specificity you need to get used to ... or avoid the places of their gatherings.

The most expensive and fashionable hotels are concentrated in the Yalunvan resort, which is twenty-five kilometers from Sanya (south of Hainan Island). Rest with children will be ideal everywhere, if the time for it is chosen to be successful. However, one should avoid Dadunhai with its fresh breeze and sports specificity of the resort. In Sanyavan (near the airport "Phoenix") can be a cloudy sea. However, the beauty of the surrounding nature completely compensates for this. With a small child it's good to get settled in a quiet and respectable Yalunvan. A teenager will find many fun in Sanya. But in this center of the Hainan Riviera, almost all the hotels stand across from the beaches.

By the way, about the coasts. They are all sandy, free and very well maintained. Everywhere on duty are lifeguards, have a shower, toilet, umbrellas, sun beds and deckchairs.

Hainan: holidays in March, April and May

Is it worth to come to a tropical island in the first month of spring? When in Russia (and especially in Siberia) there are still frosts, visiting Hainan is like visiting paradise. Reviews assure that the first month of spring on the island is set very comfortable for the northerner weather. Even in the first days of March the air warms up to +26 degrees in the daytime, and the South China Sea gives warmth. Nights also cease to be cool. In the southern bays, where all the resorts of the island are concentrated, the excitement of the sea is gradually coming to naught.

Holidays in Hainan in April can not be called budgetary. This is the peak season. Rain in the middle of spring is not observed, the sea is calm, and the column of the thermometer does not show any extreme temperatures. Afternoon +29, at night +21 degrees. This fertile time continues until the end of April and the first rains - the harbingers of the "wet season". In the last month of spring, a monsoon begins to blow in the tropical climatic zone, bringing abundant precipitation. But rest on Hainan in May can not be called "soaked". The reviews claim that the rains are only in the evening and at night, and by the morning everything is drying up and shining with washed freshness. In addition, as the reviews say, the southern resorts are slightly protected from the downpours of the mountain, which divide the island almost in half. When it rains in Haikou, Sanya can be dry. The sun is already burning hard, and the temperature reaches over thirty degrees in the daytime in the shade.

Holidays in Hainan in June, July and August

What can I say with my heart: in the summer months (and even in the autumn too, until early November), a wet monsoon blows over the island. It can not be said that it would cool the air. The column of the thermometer in June is kept at the same level as in May (about thirty degrees). But even if it does not rain, the air is full of wet suspension. Therefore, travel to Hainan in the summer months should be abandoned to the heart, hypertensive patients, asthmatics. The sea begins to storm very much. The so-called typhoon corridor runs north of the island, but heavy winds and high storm waves can spoil the holiday in Hainan in July.

But tourists can take advantage of the "low season". Hoteliers, to lure customers, offer unprecedented discounts. Tourists warn that, despite the high clouds, neglect sunscreen is not worth it. The light in the tropical latitudes will burn white skin and behind a veil of dense clouds.

As a bonus for the dedication of Hainan gives summer tourists a lot of interesting events. In June, over two thousand years, the annual Duan U-Tse (Dragon Boat Festival) is celebrated. To name the exact date of this colorful action is impossible. The holiday is celebrated according to the lunar calendar, on the fifth day of the fifth month. Would you like to celebrate Valentine's Day the second time in a year? This is the seventh day of the seventh month (end of July or August). The same romantic fever that sweeps Europe and America around the date of February 14, is observed in Hainan, only with Chinese characteristics.

Therapeutic rest

Stormy volcanic activity, shaking the island many thousands of years ago, left behind a lot of thermal springs and mineral waters. In conjunction with traditional Chinese medicine, the spa resorts of Hainan perform miracles. Stay on the island will heal the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, bathing in radon and mineral pools of different temperatures will drive out lung diseases, skin, gynecological and urological ailments. Optimized blood pressure, you will forget about osteochondrosis and rheumatism for a long time.

Therapeutic rest on Hainan uses only traditional Chinese methods of therapy in combination with medicinal herbs and other natural preparations. The most famous such center of healing is the "Garden of longevity". It is located in the Dadonghai area and is located at the Pearl River Garden Hotel. If you are vacationing in Sanya, then you can buy a health-improving course in the center of "San Yi Tang". In the resort of Yalunvan at the hotel "Cactus Resort" not so long ago, a branch of this medical institution was opened. Here you can go through not only the course of procedures, but also conduct a comprehensive diagnosis of the body. Experienced doctors will develop an individual program.

Reviews of tourists mention other medical centers. These are "Yu-Kang", "Taiji" and "Nantan" complex. On the territory of the latter there are almost thirty pools with mineral water of different chemical composition and temperature.

Attractions and excursions

Cognitive rest on Hainan has its own specifics. All antiquities are concentrated in the north of the island, where the exiled noblemen settled, waiting for the opal to end and they could return to the imperial court. The southern extremity of Hainan really reminds Hawaii. Around the chic resorts stretch the plantations of coffee, coconut groves and other agricultural land. But in the south you can find many interesting places. In Sanya is the oceanarium Tianya Tropical Ocean Animal Park. And you can see the land animals in the nursery of tigers and lions. Tourists are advised to visit the Haikou capital, if not for the sake of old architecture, so for shopping.

Holiday on the island of Hainan can not be called complete without visiting the natural parks. There are many, and the most popular are the "Butterfly Gorge", "Monkey Island" and "Dongshan". The last park is divided into two halves. One can walk on foot, as the fauna is harmless there. And for the second half you need to ride only in jeeps, watching how bears, lions and tigers arrange races with a car.

Those who are not afraid of hiking in the mountains, the recommendations recommend climbing the volcano Ma-An (fifteen kilometers from Haikou). Stairs to the crater are cut in the frozen lava. Another tourist attraction - the park "Edge of the World". It is located twenty kilometers from Sanya. On the unique beach is scattered a lot of stone blocks of bizarre shape.

Shopping

We can say with confidence that the main purpose of the arrival of tourists to Hainan is rest. The photo of the Buddhist Nanshan center alone with the golden statue of the thousand-bodied Bodhisattva Guanyin is present in many guidebooks on China. But this sculpture is also included in the Guinness Book of Records. She has a record weight of 140 kilograms, considering that she is made of pure gold, and even decorated with precious stones.

Excursions in Hainan are good in that they allow you to combine interesting things for the soul with useful for your pocket. On the cape "Edge of the Sea and the Sky" you can buy a variety of souvenirs. In Sanya, all the key shops are located in the city center, along the Avenue of Liberation. But the true shopaholic should go shopping in Haikou, on the street Hyusyudunlu.

What tourists are advised to bring from Hainan? From a huge range of products with the tag "maid in china" you can choose and quite high-quality, even precious things. For example, products made of pearls and mother-of-pearl, rock crystal, silk and porcelain. Very appreciated tea (some varieties in weight of gold). From souvenirs easier tourists carry wooden figurines, woodblock, Buddhist, Taoist symbols, amulets of feng shui. Also popular are herbs and medicinal ointments.

Reviews and tips from tourists

What should you do to ensure a good rest for yourself and your family on the island of Hainan? Reviews are primarily advised to take responsibly the choice of travel time. After all, the vacation spent at the hotel, because the weather is raging around, can not be called successful, even if the hotel itself is five-star.

Another tip. In China, there is a striking difference between five-and four-star hotels. In a word, Hainan is not the case when it is possible and necessary to cheapen your holiday. Yalunvan is a wonderful resort in every way. Transparent water and the absence of waves and currents attract divers from all over the world. But the restaurants here are located only in expensive hotels, and therefore the food will be invoiced. In Dadonghai, cafes are met at every step. You can dine here for six or seven dollars.
