In Hainan city, residents had the opportunity to visit Hai Xiu Commericial Street, Wu Gong Ci, the “No. 1 Building in Hainan” and the Hainan Province museum. En-route to Xinglong county, residents visited the Bo’ao water city and passed through the Bo’ao Forum for Asia, and they were treated to the most famous scenic spots on Hainan Island, the Jade Belt Beach. The Tropical Botanical Garden at Xinglong County was the key highlight of the residents’ stay at Xinlong county.
There was one destination that residents most look forward to on the trip – the Guanyin of the South Sea of Sanya, a 108-metre statue of the Buddhist figure Avalokitevara, and currently the fourth largest statue in the world. At Sanya city, residents also explored the Li & Miao Cultural Village and the Dadonghai Tourism Area. Before returning to Hainan city, residents were treated to a musical extravaganza, the “Legend of Romance” at Romance Park Sanya.
On the morning of the 27th, with bountiful hearts and a heavy luggage in toll, the residents returned to Singapore. A bountiful trip with many new friendships formed and beautiful memories to share with loved ones.
