Hainan is the second largest ocean island and the smallest land province in China. Although scenery in Hainan lacks the grandness of the Great Wall and the mystery of the Terror-Cotta Warriors, its natural beauty has gained a good reputation among the visitors and has been widely known around the world. People call it "the Oriental Hawaii".
The capital of Hainan is Haikou City. Located in northern part of the island, it is the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of the whole province. In Hainan, the cities Haikou and Sanya are where most tourists congregate.

known also as the 'Coconut City',
Haikou stands at the northern end fo Hainan Island,
on the west bank of the Nandu River estuary.
This river is the longest on the island
and the city's name appropriately means 'Mouth of the Sea'.
We feel a bit tired after the 3 hours flight
so we go back to thier house to rest for a while
and chat since we never meet them before
except my FIL and MIL met them 10 years ago
The distance from airport to Haikou city is about 30min drive
In the evening we have dinner at thier place too
Look at the amount of dishes they prepare for 8 of us
Haikou is famous with its seafood, Wenchang Chicken,
Dongshan Mutton, Jiaji Duck and Hele Crab.
we try almost everything that serve on the table
J & I love the chicken so much
the chicken is so tender and delicious
After dinner we check in to our hotel
