More Beaches
in the south coastal city of Beihai
and
and
on the Island of Hainan
This is advertised to be the best beach in mainland China. It was certainly popular, with lots of people on jet-skis, in boats, on huge water-tricycles, and on 4-wheelers!
China, with some of its
1.3 billion people:

| I wish that we had had our snorkeling gear! |
 |
| Many big, dead "sea-jelly-fish" had washed up onto the shores. |

| Melody |
 |
| Qing, finally getting to relax.....She had researched and planned the whole trip! |
 |
| Wonderful family....Thank you for including us on your island vacation! |
(I'll keep this photo small!!)
We spent parts of two days on this east-coast of-Hainan beach.

| We visited some really-expensive-hotel, beach-front property in Sanya. |

| This Ferrari was being advertised in the Sheraton Hotel's lobby. We couldn't even afford lunch in THIS hotel! |
Along the main Coast Highway in Sanya, we were thrilled to see solar panels and wind-turbines mounted on the street-light poles. Seemed an awesome idea, especially if they are generating enough electricity to donate power to the city's electric grid!! Great to see this GREEN POWER on an island with plenty of sun and wind.
Two more things:
Every hotel wanted to have a clocks-of-many-cities wall, often giving the times for New York City, London, Moscow, etc. We got a big kick out of this hotel, where the clocks were neither labeled by city, nor set for the correct times in ANY city....Notice how the minute-hands are all set for different times! Duh!
And, Chinese people love to have their photos taken beside (or with) some of the strangest things. The most popular photo spot we saw on this trip was out in front of a fast-food restaurant. Virtually EVERYONE stopped to have a photo taken with "the chicken."
