Hainan

I am cycling in China in the southern island of Hainan, it's nice and warm here 20 to 27 degrees. I am with my long time cycling friends, Akani, Varut and Paisan. We arrived yesterday and today cycle 100 kilometres, now eating and relaxing and drink local beer.
Hainan is an island province of China and the nation’s most Southern point.
It is big , about the same size as Taiwan and 50 times bigger than Singapore . Population 9 million with about 1 million visitors , many retired
Haikou city is the biggest city followed by Sanya
We cycled around the island for 8 days and covered 600 kilometres
Good roads many with cycling lanes, traffic in cities but quiet on rural roads.
Electric motorcycles everywhere, they are very quiet so they whizz past with no noise, Have to be careful not to change course suddenly .
Also Electric cars move with no noise, only wheel noise
They also have electric buses

They have a Local spirit : Maoutai special spirit a type of whiskey , no hangover
In Hainan many apartment blocks are empty or not finished
Hello from Eastern Hainan where the temperature is 27 degrees at 5pm, amazing place this island has a population of 9 million with 1 million visitors so have to keep eyes peeled as someone is turning in front of you every 10 seconds.
