Hainan Island (Sanya)

We have been really busy getting settled in our new home and starting our new jobs. So busy in fact, that we have not had much time to blog or post picts about our new home. This past week though was a national holiday in China, so we had some time off. We decided to use that time to go and explore, but also to relax.

We traveled to Hainan Island, often referred to as China’s Hawaii. We decided to stay in an area called Sanya, which was really nice! Our hotel was quite big and had many different pools for us to relax around. The ocean was quite clean and nice as well, but not exactly as nice as other beaches in places like Thailand or the Caribbean. There is another area of the island that is supposed to be the most beautiful area, but it is also the most expensive and exclusive area. Maybe next time!

Sadly, the beginning of our trip coincided with a typhoon swinging through the area. It didn’t even bring much rain though, and just gave us some time to explore the town as opposed to the pool and beaches. It was a great little trip and since it is only an hour flight away, not a bad place to escape to again in the future!

Now back to work!
