According to Tasnim news agency, until 10 years ago, people living in other parts of China were also less aware of the beauty of this region, but now this province has become a destination for tourists not only in China but also around the world.
2,280 kilometers from Beijing, it takes a 4-hour flight to reach this sprawling destination, but as soon as you enter the borders of Hainan, the view from the window of the plane is refreshing. Then when the cool breeze greets you as you step out of the plane, all the tiredness of the journey will melt away.
Our first stop was Sunny City which is connected by 30 different air routes connecting 14 countries and territories. With a population of 765,000 and a coastline of 258 km, Saniya covers an area of about 2,000 square kilometers.

Almost all the world’s major brands in the hotel industry have branches here. After Dubai, the second largest branch of Atlantis Resort is also in the same city, which was opened for tourists in April 2018.
The special thing about this resort is that tourists who stay in another hotel can also pay 500 yuan here. One can use the facility of an aquarium, underwater restaurant and spacious water park.
The daily rent of a room on the ground floor of this 56-storey hotel is equivalent to 3 million Pakistani rupees, but I think this most expensive accommodation cannot compete with the relatively cheap accommodation on the top floor of this hotel. The moments spent on the terrace of the family suite on the 26th floor will remain among the most memorable moments of my life, there is no substitute for the pleasant feeling of the blue sea breeze.
69% of Sanyan area is forested and has 19 beaches along its coastline, apart from beach tourism, religious and festival tourism is also being promoted. Here you will find hundreds of newly married couples every day having photo sessions at different beautiful locations of the city to capture the happy moments of their new life.

At the same time, for the eradication of poverty, the villagers have been made aware of how they can live a better life by keeping their culture alive while living in their area.
The beauty of Shumi Village has been enhanced by development works in Chong Hai city in a short period of 6 months.
The famous thing about the village, which was awarded the title of Five Star Village last year, is that the people there know how to play tunes on the flute through their noses, and this is also their occupation.
Bombo dance is also a part of the culture of this village as troupes are present at various places in the village and are seen entertaining the tourists.
Everywhere in Hainan you will find coconut and palm trees, these trees did not grow by themselves, but the local administration has done extensive planting to bring the area in line with other major tourist destinations in the world.
The mountains here are muddy and this is being taken advantage of. They are like that there are plantations of mango, pineapple, guava and various fruits are grown on the mountain. The height of the mango tree is not more than 3 meters but still they give good fruit.
Mangoes known as Tota Pari and Tuberpal in Pakistan are the special produce here and there is a lot of similarity in taste.
Due to the land structure, corn and rice are also being cultivated here, for the improvement of the agriculture sector, a research center named Paddy Fields of National Park has been built where various countries including Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bangladesh 500 varieties of rice are being cultivated.
To create an element of tourist interest here, statues of giant dinosaurs have been erected. As you pass by these statues, they greet you by nodding their heads and making various sounds.
Being surrounded by the sea and abundant production of coconuts is also reflected in the food here.
Whether you’re staying at someone’s house as a lodger or staying at a resort, seafood and rice with coconuts are bound to be on the dining table. Even the desserts contain coconut and rice.

The duty free store is another great convenience for tourists.
The local administration claims that it has the largest duty free shop in Asia but I was disappointed to find that mobile phones and laptops are not available there, buy whatever you want and if you buy it take it out of Hainan. If it has to be done, there is a separate procedure.
Hainan has wide highways to travel from one city to another, apart from high-speed train facilities, since there are many mountains in the way, tunnels have been built to make travel easier, clearing the busy highways. Washed daily to keep.
Like other cities in China, there is a government-run online taxi service that is much cheaper than private taxis.
Talking about the train here, the high speed train travels at a speed of 245 to 250 km per hour.
We traveled by high speed train from Sunian to Qinghai city and it was a very great experience for me because once I had dared to travel by train from Lodhran to Islamabad in Pakistan, which was so much for me. It was a difficult journey that I had to get down at Multan station and then catch a bus, but after the train journey here, my perception of rail travel changed.
During the journey I came to know that this is a second class high speed train, while the first class high speed train runs at a speed of 350 km per hour.
During my 5-day stay in Hainan, I also had the opportunity to ride a bicycle once. When I was cycling from my hotel to the beach, I came across the tourist police. One of the wonderful things about their training is that no matter how you talk to them, they will not get angry, but solve your problem. Will make every effort to do so.
Most Chinese people don’t understand English so a translation app is resorted to. Tourist police officials are also seen trying to guide through the same app when unable to understand through signs and broken English.
