We enjoyed a few days at Yalong Bay in Sanya, on Hainan Island in southern China this past weekend. The island is known as the "Chinese Hawaii". I've never been to Hawaii, but if it's anything like Sanya, it must be nice. :-) Anywhere there is sand, sun, surf and a pool can't be all bad! The beautiful, lush vegetation was a wonderful bonus, as we are a little short on vegetation in downtown Shanghai.
See the little plastic boat Gwen is holding in the picture below? We bought it in the hotel gift shop with a few plastic sand toys in it for the girls to use on the beach. For some reason, the girls named the boat after their friend Kylia in Chicago! It cracked us up all weekend to hear them refer to this boat as "Kylia", but by the time we left we were all saying it!

Is something missing, Caleb?!

Lynne, could we just all go there today! The water is such an amazing color! Mom
Those pictures are beautiful, Lynne! Looks like a wonderful trip! :)
How beautiful! I was glad - Lissa was able to correctly identify all of you! Although she was sure she saw herself in a couple of them. That slide looks so fun!
What a cute suit! You girls look so cute in your hats. That water reminds me of the Bahamas!
I actually think we stayed at the same hotel in Sanya. At the hotel, in the giftshop, we bought a beach wagon: teal and blue with sand toys inside. Maura, my adopted sister from China, loved it! Sanya was very beautiful. I've never been to Hawaii, but Sanya tops my lists! I love your blog!

My blog is thejourneyofmyheart.blogspot.com but I am not sure if you can view it from China.
Lynne and Scott, Love the pictures of everyone, looks like you guys are enjoying your time there. We thought of you after hearing of the earthquake in central China. Hope all is well. God Bless, The Hiltons.
