Discovering China’s Champagne Coast

discovering-chinas-champagne-coast-01Be amongst the first Australian’s to discover Hainan Island – so close, so diverse and so without the crowds

For decades, Australian’s have travelled to the likes of Hawaii, Thailand and Bali for the tropical sights and relaxation, little realizing that everyone else had the same idea.

 

But there’s a place unknown to the Australian traveler, a tropical island sanctuary hidden just off the coast of China, Hainan, where sun-drenched beaches and endless natural marvels abound – without all the crowds and budget-breaking prices.

 

“…the Pearl of the South China Sea…”

 

Hainan, a tropical island located off the southern coast of Mainland China, has quickly become regarded by visitors from around the world as the “Pearl of the South China Sea.

 

Surrounded by clear blue waters, the island’s long stretches of sun-drenched coastline, backdropped against rich, tropical rainforest with natural hot springs had for thousands of years remained one of China’s best kept secrets.

 

With its temperate climate, 300 days of sunshine, comparatively low prices and lack of tourist crowds, Hainan is justly becoming the new Bali, but without all the drawbacks.

 

“…Unspoiled by mass tourism…”

The island’s mix of champagne coastline, tropical landscape, sumptuous seafood cuisine and curious local culture has been left undisturbed by the mass commercialism and tourism that is so prevalent in other destinations.

 

Beaches aren’t overcrowded, your safety is never called into question and perhaps best of all, the climate doesn’t have that humid quality that plagues other tropical destinations.

 

While playing host to a range of recreational activities, sights and a vibrant nightlife, Hainan still has that relaxed feeling in the air, an easy going, undisturbed pace that places like Vietnam lost long ago.

 

“…a relaxed resort life…”

 

Hainan’s varied selection of luxury resorts combine modern style, luxurious comfort and traditional Chinese cultural themes, providing a unique, relaxed island experience.

 

Taking in the best of the island’s golden coastline, even the five-star resorts are made affordable because of Hainan’s comparatively lower prices.

 

“…a diverse range of attractions…”

 

The unique, contrasting landscape of the island provides for a wide range of recreational activities – island tours that take in the inland’s rainforests and the golden coastline, where you can take part in recreational activities like diving, jet-skiing and off-shore fishing – all unspoiled by herds of tourists and more affordable than other tropical destinations.

 

“…all on a tight budget…”

 

While Hainan’s attractions are world class, the cost of visiting is comparatively less than visiting Hawaii, Thailand or Bali. The exchange rate for the Australian dollar is very much slanted in our favour, and not only that, the overall cost of staying in one of Hainan’s resorts, eating out at the islands high-class restaurants and taking part in an island tour is far less than what you would pay for in Hawaii, Thailand or Bali.
