My wife and I took a trip to Sanya, Hainan Province, in the last 10 days. It took about 3 hours nonstop flight from my hometown to Sanya.Sanya belongs to tropical maritime monsoon climate with the annual average temperature 25.7 C. So people who live in North China flock to there every winter.Besides, Sanya is a popular tourist destination.Recently the temperature in Sanya was nudging 30 degrees Celsius, so We were in shirt sleeves,even wearing shorts and T-shirt there,like we do in summer in our hometown. Yesterday we returned from Sanya and had to be wrapped up in thick winter clothes before getting off the plane,because the temperature was minus 3 degrees Celsius here.It may take a few days for us to adjust to the cold weather.

Yes,we have a great time there.It was the first time we went to Sanya and all was completely new to us,especially those tropical plants.Now we have adjusted to the cold weather.

Oh, Sanya looks so tropical indeed! Did you step in the waters too? I'm glad you could enjoy a 10 day scenic vacation there - I'm sure you had a busy but wonderful time.

The temperature hoveredaround 8 degrees Celsius here when we left for Sanya,but it dropped down to -3 C when we came back.In Sanya,we had a very busy schedule and visited some famous scenic spots.

@changjiangzhibin89 Oh my! That is so hot, a temperature! No wonder you preferred a cold climate. But at least you have a place to go when it gets too cold in your residence's place.

I'm so glad you and your wife were able to take this trip, I hope you had a good time. I live in northern America, so our winters can be pretty cold and I remember the couple times I went to Florida in the south and found it amazing that when I left I was wearing a winter coat, but once down there I was going swimming..

@changjiangzhibin89 I would love to go somewhere warm right now, even though it isn't too cold (40F) I prefer if it was hot even to go without a jacket.

@changjiangzhibin89 You are lucky. I’ve been to Shanghai in the winter and it was pleasant with a coat. On the other hand, we were in Hong Kong in August and it was an immense wall of heat and humidity!

I have travelled to Sanya three times. It is a nice city. I haven't planned to be there for a long time as I found that flying to Thailand, Singapore or other tropical countries spends less money Especially we are close to Hong Kong, the plane tickets price can be very attractive sometimes.

Many people here talked about how they wintered in Florida.I once bantered with some of them and compared them to "migratory bird".

I know your elder son lives in Europe and remember that you mentioned a sort of sheep in a post that shed the wool on its own.

i know what you mean. here in USA we have the same thing with people visiting back and forth from other colder states. except this year it may not be much of an adjustment as it is quite cold in Florida this year. also hope you didn't catch pneumonia as sometimes they do.
