Recently, many people have been asking about the things to pay attention to when driving to Hainan Island. This question has been asked by many people. In fact, self-driving camping on Hainan Island is a very interesting choice. So what exactly should you pay attention to? Let’s see what the experts have to say.
1. It belongs to the tropics, often experiencing heavy rain. Pay attention to the location when setting up camp, be prepared for wind and rain, don’t be lazy, make sure the wind ropes are tied well, pay attention to the weather, and bring a raincoat.
2. Many places are by the sea, please pay attention to the tides and typhoons when camping on the beach.
3. Avoid setting up camp in grassy areas, there may be small animals.
4. When camping near towns, be aware of some idlers. It’s best to tell a hospital or police station where you are. Alternatively, you can camp near a school.
5. You’ll encounter many abandoned buildings along the way. You can stay there (many of them are remnants of the previous economic bubble).
6. The local Hainan dialect is quite different from Mandarin Chinese. Communication can be difficult if something happens, so try to communicate with young people.
7. In Haikou, near the Bell Tower, fishing boats return in the afternoon. You can buy seafood cheaply and cook it yourself (I don’t know how you are traveling, whether you bring gas tanks, etc.). Seafood markets in Sanya are also relatively cheap, but if you buy seafood and cook it in a restaurant, it might be better to just eat at the restaurant.
8. Do not eat jackfruit and honey together. Remember to buy soft jackfruit to eat. Tropical fruit like mango is cheap, but you need to control the amount you eat, otherwise you will get heat rash. In Haikou, there is a North-South Fruit Market.
9. You can try some green betel nuts.
10. If you have local friends from Hainan, you can ask them to take you to visit “Gongqi,” and experience Hainan’s Mazu culture and Gongqi culture (Hainan people are actually very warm).
11. West Island in Sanya is good, you can stay there for a few days (generally it is a scenic spot, usually a fishing village, the fishing village has a good feel, you can also fish for crabs by the sea, but don’t swim).
12. The sea is indeed beautiful, but please be careful when swimming. Never swim outside the designated swimming area.
13. Most importantly, Hainan is truly beautiful. Remember to take photos and videos along the way and share them.
