Escape the winter chill and embark on a cultural and culinary adventure on the sun-kissed shores of Hainan Island, China's southernmost point. It is the only Chinese city you can visit without visa (See details at the end of the intro). Known for its lush tropical climate, Hainan offers a unique blend of cultural and ethnic experiences, local cuisine, and beach landscapes. With its white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, Hainan is not just a beach lover's paradise but also a gateway to discovering China's rich heritage and gastronomic delights. 🌞 Why Hainan Island? Nestled in the South China Sea, Hainan Island stands out as a beacon of relaxation and cultural discovery. From the serene sands of Yalong Bay to the bustling markets of Haikou, every corner of Hainan brims with opportunities for exploration and enjoyment. The island's tropical climate ensures warm weather year-round, making it the perfect winter escape. 🏖 Beach Relaxation & Cultural Excursions: Our days will be a perfect blend of leisure and exploration. Wake up to the sound of the waves and spend your mornings lounging on the beach or diving into the rich turquoise waters. As the day unfolds, we'll delve into the island's diverse culture, visiting historical sites and engaging with the local communities. Expect to learn about Hainan's role in maritime Silk Road history and its unique position in Chinese folklore and tradition. 🍲 A Gastronomic Journey: Hainanese cuisine is a delightful surprise for the palate, with its fresh seafood and tropical fruits playing starring roles. We'll indulge in local specialties such as Wenchang Chicken, Dongshan Lamb, and the famous Hainanese rice noodles. Each meal will be an adventure in itself, taking us closer to the heart and soul of the island.

👩‍🦰 About Your Trip Leader: I'm from China, went to New York University, worked in the fashion and gaming industry, and now quit my job to rethink of my purpose of living while traveling through Europe, Central Africa, Middle East, Southeast Asia (you can also see my other trips in my profile). I speak 3 languages: Chinese, English, French (working on it). I'd always would like more travelers to visit China, and Hainan is the perfect place without complicated visa process and best temperature of the year. If you stay longer after our trip, you will also experience the authentic Chinese New Year (I will spend it with my family in Beijing😝)

🌴 Accommodations & Transportation: Stay in hand-picked hotels that reflect Hainan's charm, from beachfront resorts to boutique hotels by the beach and sea. Comfort and convenience will be our priority, ensuring you have the perfect base to relax and recharge. As we explore the island, we'll traverse by private transportation, allowing us to comfortably move from one experience to the next. 🆓 Visa Free Countries: Albania, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, Montenegro, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, the UAE, the USA, the UK, Ukraine.
