China
Highlights for now. The longer Sanya notes are still being written.
A tropical city on Hainan, built around the coast and a large domestic tourist season. The hotel strip and the week a resident lives are not the same thing. Winters are mild. Summers are heavy.
It suits people who want the climate and can live with a Chinese resort city, including the paperwork that comes with it. It is the wrong place if you expect a Southeast Asian beach town with the same visa habits as Thailand.
The longer notes on Sanya are still being written. If you need the city now, talk to us.
The bay closest to town. Hotels, a beach, and the most walkable of the three resort strips.
The long west beach. Spread out. You ride between dinner and the sand.
The quieter, more resort bay to the east. Space and a higher price. Not the place you pop out for a noodle.
Services in Sanya go up once they have been checked. A person can introduce you now. Talk to us.
Three things the site keeps for you. Reading is public. The checklist and the journal are yours.
