Angus's Personal Site: Hainan Pictures

Tropical Sea World	59K	Taken at Tropical Sea World, near Haikou City, the capital of Hainan Island.
Haikou Millennium Tower	56K	Haikou Millennium Tower, located within the Tropical Sea World, has a rather nice little cafe at the top.
Haikou Millennium Tower Cafe	47K	And here's me inside that cafe!
Tropical Fruit	112K	Me picking some tropical fruit ... forget what they're called, something like "bolomir" before a tropical storm started!
Dongjiao	77K	I'm told there used to be a nice beach here, but it's been taken over by fishing boats and is now nowhere near as nice.
Volcanic Gardens	59K	Gardens grown around an extinct volcano. You could actually descend into the very crater of the volcano which last erupted 10,000 years ago.
Ferry Crossing	52K	One of those car ferries where you park your car and you're carried across the river .... or otherwise face a long drive round.
Tropical Botanical Garden	168K	This is me in front of a "Travellers Plant" - so-called because it contains a lot of water and thrirsty travellers would break its branches to get some water.
Chinese Restaurant	94K	A friends-and-family gathering at a Chinese restaurant at a rather nice hotel. We had our own private function room for the occasion.
Nanshan Notices	97K	Nanshan ... Buddhist Cultural Centre. This noticeboard giving the regulations had some rather interesting English. It doesn't come out in the photo so I've reproduced the text beneath the photo.
Sanya Beach Beauty	67K	Sanya, in the South of Hainan, has some lovely beaches. By the looks of things, they are almost all unspoilt. It's strange to see tropical beaches totally devoid of people, I can tell you!
Yalong Bay	107K	Yalong Bay ... a lovely beach again plus this monument ... along with lots of shops you can't browse because as soon as the shop assistants see you looking at anything they try to hard-sell it to you!
Beach Rocks	66K	One side says, "Hainan dao" and the other "Taiwan dao." "Dao" is "Island" in Mandarin, so at least it's nothing rude! I hope!
Seven-Finger Mountain	101K	This mountain is in the centre of the island, and can be climbed easily enough by a well-built stepway leading all the way to the top.
