the first city i arrived is haikou city because i was born there. I was raised up in jiangxi province not in hainan province. I just born in HN. I think haikou is a beautiful city with good weather, the temperature here is around 20 degrees. I will fly to sanya on friday and the weather in sanya is as same as that of Australia, it’s around 25, from 25 to 29 degrees. But I haven’t booked hotel in Sanya yet because there are many available hotels to book but I’d like to book some fancy hotel but it’s very expensive. And the price is near 3000 RMB. I’m taking my family to the beach to swim, and sunbathing. I think once in a year is OK
