Hainan Island

Hainan is an island and also a province of China. It is located in the southern part of China and is surrounded by the South China Sea. There is no bridge or tunnel that connects it to the mainland. Instead, there is only a strait between them.

Thanks to the fact that the whole island is in a tropical area, the weather there during winter is quite warm. In the northern part of the island, the temperature is usually around 20 degrees Celsius, and in the southern part, it is 3 to 5 degrees Celsius higher than that in the north.

The air quality on the island is excellent year-round because the island is surrounded by the sea. So the island is considered a heaven for people to spend their winters.

A famous city in Hainan is Sanya, which is situated at the southernmost end of the island and which is known for its beautiful beaches, such as Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay.

In every city on the island, there are people who are from the mainland. They have bought houses there to spend the winter. So in late October, they come to Hainan, and in late March they go back to their hometowns.
