I told the story of South China Sea just because we need to keep peaceful there and so we can enjoy the holidays ❤
@@astroniteresh9313 lol, you compare a cargo ship with military ship? I don't think USA will be happy if Chinese Navy wandering around Hawaii and use "freedom of Navigation" as an excuse. They even afraid with a balloon 😅
Food delivery right up to the beach front, wow wish I could do that here. You had pork and rice for the lunch? - what do they call that red pork in Chinese,? I am originally from Vietnam and our word for it is something like Xe Xui which I always thought must have been a word we imported from our northern neighbor and former ruler like a lot of our food words such as chai and boc choi
We actually just got back from Asia this week - highlight of the trip was Vinh Pearl island in the Nha trang city of Vietnam. Its a holiday theme park resort which was similar to that island you visited but had a fun water park and lots of roller coasters. Highly recommend for a future travel
I've heard a lot about Nha Trang! I would love to visit Vietnam one day, it's so close to China and is at the top of my "countries to visit" list! I hope you had a really wonderful time🥰
Wow! Everything you showed looked so clean and alive and colorful, especially when the Sun came out! Seeing all those beautiful flowers, I wonder if they make things like lei's as well as if there's some local fun instrument equivalent to a ukulele. This video reminds of when I went to Hawaii, and I'm now craving spam musubi, chocolate macadamia nuts, and malasadas lol.
I was worried the sun wasn't going to come out at all since China had a cold front at the time but we were very lucky. Maybe I should go back in search of the Lai/ukulele equivalent, or even just Hawaii to compare. For research purposes only, of course🤫😅
@怜深薄 I heard about this! I read that there is a group of people who make clothes from the bark of trees and climbing the trees fast and well is a quality that women seek in men. Very interesting, I would love to learn more about their culture 🥰
What a great getaway video! That part of Hainan reminds me of parts of Malaysia and Thailand I have holidayed in - probably not surprising since its all part of south east Asia. Are western hotels chains such as Hyatt, Hilton, Shangri-La etc as prevalent in China as they are in other seaside cities in Asia?
Yes! Certain parts really reminded me of Malaysia, and some of the food I have had in Singapore was Hainanese and was delicious! Yes, in tourist destinations like this the western hotel chains are HUGE and always fully booked. We wanted to stay somewhere a little bit more central than the resorts strips, and didn't want to spend $600 a night. I think our room worked out at around $100 a night which is pricey for China, but not for Sanya 😅
Hi Natt thank you for this video! I'm doing some reasearch on Sanya and I'm wondering what your daily spending suggestion would be? For cheap-ish activities like surf classes & some mid-range meals out everyday... Would appreciate your help so much! Thank you xx
Thank you!! Girls trip? Forget work, forget the husband, forget the kids, let’s head to the beach and have that glass of wine we couldn’t get this afternoon 😅😅
You could visit and find a hotel in Clearwater Bay, which is a bit far from Sanya city centre , but it has much more beautiful and clean beach, sky… than the bays in sanya city centre( although sanya bay and yalong bay for example also beautiful,but sometimes crowded)
I had lived in China for 24 years before I came to Canada, never came back, there are so many places and views I missed. Thanks for the indirect experience ! BTW the wild bf plot was gold, 野生男友
The island is beautiful. I got lost on this island 40 years ago, It was different from that time . Thank for everyone on the island. I still miss it , I will visit it in the future.
@@HafiZzZzZz it will depend on where the car is from. It’s very expensive to export cars to China (100% tax) so you don’t see it for smaller brand cars because it’s not worth the price, but for expensive cars sometimes they are made in the U.K. or places that are right hand drive instead of left hand drive. I’ve never seen a car that is right hand drive in China, although I haven’t been it any expensive cars so that might be why!
You are so lucky and privileged to visit these amazing places. The beach is like the place I visit when doing my mindfulness, but it is just in my imagination xxx
Honestly, what is it about brits fear of spiders and other crawling creatures? Statistically humans suffer more injuries and fatalities from relatively mundane things such as being kicked by donkeys or falling down slippery stairways
I really have no idea, we don't even have deadly spiders or insects in England like they have in Australia and other parts of the world... More people are killed by cows than any other animal in England (I think, don't quote me on that) and yet the thought of an 8 legged tiny quick moving thing makes me shiver 😅
Nice video! I've been to Hainan Island 3 times and only place missed is the Sanya beach due to time constraints. My late grandpa, grandma is from there. Yes I'm Hainanese and Singapore next to be Prime Minister Lawrence Wong is also Hainanese descent. 😊Yes I've been to Hawaii when I was young. 😊
Wow! It’s a beautiful place, I think Sanya bay is not as good as some of the other beaches. I’d love to explore more of Hainan outside of the Santa area. I know that Singapore has very good Hainanese food as many people from Hainan moved there. I would love to visit Hawaii too 😅❤️
Wow, thank you for sharing this beautiful video and the place looks amazing! February up where I am doesn't come close to what you have in Hainan.:) Love the lush green everywhere and the clear water. The last time I saw water looked like this was in Croatia. Your guys are also lucky as the place doesn't seem crowded. You timed this trip perfectly! Great hotel too.
Hotel is very considerate, in case runs out of toilet paper while in there, the phone is direct line to the frontdesk to have toilet paper delivered directly to the washroom, don't even have to get up. 😅
@@WaltAndJessy Wuxi is a beautiful city, Miu and I were so pleasantly surprised by Wuxi (Miu even went as far as to say he would happily live there too!) ❤️
Opinions differ, but the person who put that color scheme on an otherwise cool little Bmw perpetrated a war crime!! 😬
I actually agree 🤫It was a very poor wrap job and the inside of the doors are red... I personally think they should have left it red hahah. If it was all baby pink then it would be okay haha

In my impression, Hilton covers almost all major cities in China.
@@PomeloCrisps Hilton, Hyatt are everywhere in CN even small cities
Haha, you are price-conscious consumer
I don't mind spending money if I have it, but I don't want to waste money on things 😂😂
@@ExpatNatt me too .
this looks amazing I wish i was there right now
It was brilliant, I wish I was still there now too instead of cold Shanghai hahah 😅🥰
A coconut fell on my brothers head when he was small, mum says he used to be really bright but now Im tha brains of the family 😵💫🤓
Oh dear hahah! I'm glad he was okay! Some of these coconuts are massive! I couldn't afford to lose any more brain cells if one fell on my head hahah🤣
I was in Sanya in December 2014, and I really miss its looooooooong beach and its hot weather in winter. BTW. @13:25, he looks like Miu's brother😂😂
Haha I didn’t even notice! I just saw the kid with the cool sunglasses 😂❤️
My husband is chineese im Algerian we have two children i discover with you this paradise on earth thank you soooo much i love it ❤️
Thank you for watching! ❤️❤️

Yes, the nice weather made all the difference. We would have liked to have done more water sports but it was a little bit too cold still
Hainan looks so dope. I've been in China for awhile and haven't had to the chance to visit
You should definitely try to get out there (preferably in low season), it’s very lovely 🥰
There was so much happening that I don't know where to start, so I will just say that i really enjoyed watching your lovely holiday.
Hahah thank you! Stay tuned for next weeks episode to see more than just beaches 😅❤️
Best beach in china I guess.

I still miss it , I will visit it in the future.

Renting a fab convertible is a must in sanya!!!! It's so much fun to enjoy the sea-scented breeze and tropical views while driving.
Completely agree... Maybe next time we can rent a lambo? Anyone want to sponsor me? 😂😂

Hi what time of the year did you go?
We went at the end of January at Chinese New Year which is the busiest time. I recommend going in spring when it’s a bit warmer but still not too hot.
Nice video! I've been to Hainan Island 3 times and only place missed is the Sanya beach due to time constraints. My late grandpa, grandma is from there. Yes I'm Hainanese and Singapore next to be Prime Minister Lawrence Wong is also Hainanese descent. 😊Yes I've been to Hawaii when I was young. 😊
Wow! It’s a beautiful place, I think Sanya bay is not as good as some of the other beaches. I’d love to explore more of Hainan outside of the Santa area. I know that Singapore has very good Hainanese food as many people from Hainan moved there. I would love to visit Hawaii too 😅❤️

Hotel is very considerate, in case runs out of toilet paper while in there, the phone is direct line to the frontdesk to have toilet paper delivered directly to the washroom, don't even have to get up. 😅
It made me laugh 😅😅
those coconuts are scary:))) i will be careful about that next time im under one
I was very vigilant when sat under the coconut trees 😅 be safe! 😂
Yes, it is dangerous to be under coconut trees, there should be warning signs for people to be aware.
Yes, otherwise provide free hard hats for beach goers ;)
How much is your car rental per day for your BMW
It was around 400-500RMB per day
I miss my hometown! But I have.stopped going.to Sanya because it's too touristic now.😂 I prefer going to Wenchang, Qionghai, Wanning etc...
Yes it was very touristy, but I’m glad I went (especially now before international tourists are allowed back into China!) ☺️
Perfect couple ❤
Thank you ❤️
Hainan looks so beautiful!! Glad you guys had a nice chill time :D Definitely near the top of my Chins list!!
Defo recommend!! Preferably in summer when it’s warmer though and you can do sea activities 😂
Thank you for sharing us your heart warming experiences in China. It is fun to watch you guys enjoying life!
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Nice video 📹 👍 nice couple 💑 👍 👌
