Shanghai (Chinese: 上海) is the largest city in China in terms of population and one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world, with over 20 million people.   The city is an emerging tourist destination renowned for its historical landmarks such as the Bund and Xintiandi, its modern and ever-expanding Pudong skyline including the Oriental Pearl Tower, and its new reputation as a cosmopolitan center of culture and design. Today, Shanghai is the largest center of commerce and finance in mainland China, and has been described as the  “showpiece” of the world’s fastest-growing economy.

Shanghai, sometimes called ‘Paris of the Orient’ , is China’s commercial and financial center. Its modern, international and fashionable reputation entice travelers and visitors from all over the world, who come to delight in its shopping heavens and wide variety of entertainment or simply to experience the glitz of China’s most cosmopolitan city.

The most dynamic city in the world’s fastest changing nation, Shanghai is an exhilarating, ever-morphing metropolis that isn’t just living China’s dream, but is setting the pace for the rest of the world.

Once a playground for foreign adventurers and socialites, the one-time whore of the Orient is now where home-grown tycoons build soaring monuments to capitalism and the local’s party all night. But despite a past as evocative as it is notorious, Shanghai has dispensed with the rear-view mirror, pushed the pedal to the floor and is roaring towards its imagined future so fast that keeping up is almost impossible. New developments spring up weekly, while the rapidly growing middle classes work seven days a week in the hope of graduating to the big-time.

Hainan Island (Chinese: 海南岛 literal meaning: “South of the Sea”) is the smallest province of the People’s Republic of China.

When one thinks of tropical locales, Hainan Island is not often the first thing that springs to mind. Hawaii, the Caribbean, Fiji - that is where the mind treads. But Hainan Island, just off the southern coast of China, has everything one could want in a tropical vacation – balmy beaches, gentle winds and vegetation creeping along the serene shores. Of course, this is less of a surprise to most Chinese – many flock there during the harsh winter months.

Hainan Island China is very similar in many regards to Hawaii. The southern tip, the most popular locations for tourists, rests on nearly the same latitudinal lines, and they cater mainly towards large tour groups of their fellow countrymen escaping towards the sun. A restful collision of mountains and beaches is the main draw – and the addition of the island to a tour of China is an amazing departure from much of the rest of the country. Even during the winter, the temperature rarely drops below 65 degrees.

东方夏威夷-中国海南岛三亚旅游 China – Hainan Sanya, Travel & Tours

为何东方夏威夷中国海南島这么好玩？Part 1

为何东方夏威夷中国海南島这么好玩？Part 2

On Hainan Island China, most visitors start at one of the main urban areas. Haikou, the capital city, is not that especially popular with tourists, but since most travelers approach the island by ferry (originating in Hai”an), this is usually one”s introduction to the island. The island is tourist driven, a resort-centered location, and Haikou, for what it lacks in things to do, definitely has some of the cheapest lodgings available in Hainan.

The second biggest city on Hainan Island China is the resort town of Sanya. This is about the furthest south you can go – making it the most popular travel destination on the island. Or at least, the areas surrounding the city. Sanya itself is little more than a glorified fishing village, the largest city nearby what people really come to see, the beaches.

Yalong Bay is widely considered the finest beach on Hainan Island China. Just east of Sanya, it is one of the longest stretches of sand you will ever see, and is defined by the influx of nearby student population.

Tianya Haijiao is probably second on the list, though it is definitely the furthest from Sanya. Dadonghai is where you”ll end up, especially if you are part of a package tour. It is by far the most developed – whether you find this a positive or a negative is up to you. But even then it is not immensely crowded, despite offering little more than a wide string of hotels on its streets.

Other than Sanya, Hainan island offers a number of other cities of interest, especially for those not hitting the island for the beach scene. Tongzha is sleepy and significantly cooler, north of Sanya, up in the highlands. Hiking is key here, not sand.

Xincun is another small fishing village, made popular by one of the biggest tourist attractions on Hainan – Monkey Island. Here live the Macaque monkeys, numbering in the thousands, and extremely tame.

For a pocketful of peanuts, you can have a new best friend in one of these monkeys, as long as you don”t touch them. The island is about a ten minute fairy ride from the city of Xincun. If you can, visit Monkey Island during the months of March and April – prime mating season, when the monkeys are significantly easier to spot, though what you see them doing might not make for the best photo-ops.

Fishermen from Fujian and farmers from Guangdong were the first known settlers in Macau, when it was known as Ou Mun, or “trading gate”, because of its location at the mouth of the Pearl River downstream from Guangzhou (Canton). During ancient times port city was part of the Silk Road with ships loading here with silk for Rome.

Even after China ceased to be a world trade centre, Guangzhou prospered from seaborne business with the countries of Southeast Asia, so the local entrepreneurs welcomed the arrival of Portuguese merchant-explorers. They followed in the wake of Jorge Alvares, who landed in southern China in 1513, and set about finding suitable trading posts.

In the early 1550s the Portuguese reached Ou Mun, which the locals also called A Ma Gao, “place of A Ma”, in honour of the Goddess of Seafarers, whose temple stood at the entrance to the sheltered Inner Harbour. The Portuguese adopted the name, which gradually changes into the name Macau, and with the permission of Guangdong’s mandarins, established a city that within a short time had become a major entrepot for trade between China, Japan, India and Europe.( Source: MacauTourism )

Macau is a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China since 20 December 1999, and, like Hong Kong, benefits from the principle of ” one country, two systems “.

The tiny SAR is growing in size – with more buildings on reclaimed land – and in the number and diversity of its attractions. The greatest of these continues to be Macau’s unique society, with communities from the East and West complementing each other, and the many people who come to visit.
