Now I have heard that this time of the year is not good for going to Hainan because of the typhoon season. I will be in Shanghai on July 26, and return to Germany from HongKong on July 31. Does anybody has some suggestions / recommendations what to see in China in these 5 days? As I am not rich, it should not be an expensive luxury trip. I am more interested in sightseeing points, nature, etc. Thanks in advance for your letters.

I did not think that anybody will reply I have planned differently now - I will meet my son in Shanghai and stay there for just 1 day, and then will go to Hainan for another 3 days to hopefully enjoy the beach and sea. And at the end of the week (after 2 days in HongKong) will fly back to Germany. I wish you a good time!

Not unless you like beaches full of Chinese and Russian tourists. You might have better luck on the outlying islands and new territories of Hong Kong instead. Actually, why not spend a bit more time in Shanghai and Hong Kong? Or have you visited them previously?

I have friends who are in Hainan right now and they are enjoying the place. This time of the year is the off season for Hainan as it is considered too hot and wet so in some ways it is the best time to go as there are very fewer visitors and prices are cheap. Bargains to be had on accommodation. It is school holidays so there will be a few Chinese on holidays but you won;t find them at the beach because it will be too hot out in the sun.. Enjoy your holiday there.

As someone who has lived beside one the best beaches in the world, I would still recommend Hainan's south-eastern beaches if you need some R& R in the sun.
