"Hainan, with its key attraction of Sanya, is indeed the tropical paradise it promotes itself as. Whether one comes to the island to seek a place to relax and rejuvenate or one lives here permanently, the year-round sunshine, fresh air, beautiful beaches, calm waters and extensive tropical forest make it a wonderful place to be. It's ideal if you love the outdoors. Hainan is also rich in medical herbs - another reason why the island is becoming more and more popular for medical tourism. There's plenty to enjoy. Living on Hainan island simply feels good."

Stephan Stoss, general manager of Hilton Sanya Yalong Bay Resort & Spa

"Before arriving on Hainan, I knew Hainan is not only the southernmost province and the biggest special economic zone in China, but also a well-known tourism destination. When I landed in Hainan the first time, I was fully attracted by its beautiful environment. For me, I live in Haikou with my wife, and besides happily working, we spend much of our time traveling and enjoying the great new experiences in culture that Hainan Island has to offer."

Martin Rogers, cluster general manager of Hilton Haikou Meilan and Hilton Wenchang

"Hainan is a very interesting island with a long history and deep cultural heritage. There are more than 30 minority groups that moved from different areas of China and many unique customs and traditions remain in the ethnic groups in Hainan. It is great that when you do manage to get some spare time you can indulge in some great local dishes, travel to some brilliant beaches and have a relaxing time with warm weather and plenty of sunshine."
