A brief stay in a Hainan paradise, then onward around China: nice!
My summer tales from the Kamchatkan side have only just begun, but now – quick fast-forward to the present for a China interlude over a few days…
I spent my 59th birthday in the Chinese resort Sanya on the tropical island province of Hainan, which, actually, seems to be the only large resort of its kind in China. It’s also literally the southernmost city of China, with Vietnam just 250-300km across the water and Beijing a full ~2500km away.
Warm sea the whole year round, sun, sand… paradise! But not for long. I can do beach holidaying – but only in small doses )…
The grounds of hotel we stayed at had brightly colored… dodos installed here and there. What could they mean? Why choose an extinct bird?…
Not only extinct birds, but imagined hybrids too! ->
Yes – it was nice to kick back for a while here in this paradise, but I was still glad a little later to be on my way back to the airport and onward to… – find out in the next post!
