Haikou is the capital of Hainan Province, China’s second largest island. Hmm I guess it is not much different from islands here in Malaysia. Of course most Malaysians n Singaporeans visited the island to visit their ancestral homes/villages while other tourists will flock to Sanya. Sounds familiar? Well if you watched Miss World Pageant you’ll noticed it was hosted by Sanya.
But I guess if you’ve visited all the islands / beaches in Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam etc, Sanya would be a nice change of scenery. After all it is only 3hr 20min from KL by Air Asia.
We are all familiar with Hainanese chicken rice, chicken chop etc, maybe for foodies amongst us we want to try the original version of hainanese cuisine....:-) btw chicken chop not from Hainan la, it was an invention by hainanese migrants (fused with western influence) during colonial days here in Malaysia.
