Warm days and sultry nights are the norm on tropical Hainan Island located just off the tip of mainland China in the South China Sea. You’ll find white sand beaches, fresh seafood and succulent tropical fruit, along with a distinct island culture. Numerous hot springs bubble up and tropical rain forests cover much of the island. Over a hundred different herbs for traditional Chinese medicine are grown here as well as green tea, coffee, and some rare orchids. Hainan has not been widely discovered here in the west, but hurry up—the secret may not last for long!
