Trip to Sanya

SANYA ISLAND, CHINA

Sanya Island is located in the South China Sea. We stayed at a lovely resort on a beautiful beach, with very few tourists.

Our pictures are from another beach we visited for a couple of hours…many different, unusual sights… and very hot, yet many people were fully dressed…

The most fascinating…
People, yes young children too, lined up for a short boat trip to “see the sea” from a glass bottomed boat offshore.
Donned, for this precarious trip, with wetsuits to keep dry and mouth guards to help keep their teeth from breaking…

A week earlier, a small typhoon hit the area. The waves were big but that didn’t stop them! Men, fully clothed, helped guide the boats in the right direction time after time…
We sat there and watched in awe…
Often the boat would get swamped with water--somehow they managed to get all passengers out, lining them up again to wait for another boat to take them “out to sea.” Sometimes the loaded boat headed sideways toward a 30’ high concrete jetty, coming within 50’ of it…
Nothing deterred these Chinese tourists.

Love from Karen and Lindy
