    The eSIM I am using: holafly.sjv.io/... (5% discount)
    This is my first arrival in Sanya, China. In this video I take a flight from Hong Kong to Hainand Island in southern China. Hainan Island is also known as the Haiwaii of China because of its tropical climate and beautiful beaches. Join me as we arrive in Sanya, figure out how to get to my hotel and collect first impressions of Sanya, China.

    I'm Indonesian, went to Sanya (and Haikou) ALONE in late 2019, speak no Chinese, with almost zero knowledge about Sanya.
    Sanya, turns out, to be one of my favorite city. It is a beautiful city sandwiched between beaches and hills, parted by a river, surrounded by forest. Not too crowded, with a sense of modernism by high-speed rail connectivity and a single tram line.
    I followed your vlogs when you're in Indonesia and Philippines, now I'll do that again for this Sanya series. I miss Sanya.

    Thanks for visiting my home town Ken. Sanya is especially beautiful in the outskirts of the city. Inside city centre you can find heavenly places as well such as Da Dong Hai beach, Sanya Bay, Lu Hui Tou ( deer turning head)mountain for lookout. Weather can be too hot and humid. Winter is the best season to visit. You can swim in the sea water in all seasons.

    Ken having a return ticket should never be an issue. Like you I have a tier A passport and I have only been requested a return ticket by immigration once in my life.
    However, I will call a legacy carrier like BA, LH, AA and “Purchase” a refundable ticket. Charge it on my Credit Card.
    After I arrive, I call and get it refunded!
    Never a problem.
    Works for Hotels as well!

      Yes the same countries that get 10day transit visa-free, get 30 days in Hainan, but you can't enter from the mainland, but as the new 10day allows inter-province travel,
      making your way to Macua (or H.K more expensive) is easy and then you can fly to Hainan.

    10:36 OK so never trust those drivers who approach you even in China. Though he used meter in this video but it may be rigged, maybe he turned it to normal as he saw you filming, it’s still risky. Just go to the designated taxi waiting zone or just call a DiDi next time.
    (edit) So I checked on my DiDi app and it’s usually 35-40 yuan taking a taxi. The meter was rigged 😂😂😂
