[quote=MRJAYFARRAR,369613]Hello,
  I am an American living in England with my Polish fiance whom I met in Ireland. LOl I love that story! Anyway,  we are getting married this month and spending our honeymoon in China. We arrive in Hong Kong on Sept 1, 09 and depart 21 days later from Hong Kong.  We decided to do a backpacking tour of SE China not quite going  as far north as Shanghai. The only places we have to go for sure are Hainan Island (Sanya) for the beach and Xiamen for Gulangyu Island. We also want to visit some small villages and rural areas. I was wondering if anyone could help point out a few places along our way. We will be doing a sort of circle from HK, up the East coast and then head Southwest and finally East back to HK. we do have a ton of traveling experience between us  but any ideas and suggestions would be hugely appreciated. Please keep in mind that we are in our mid 20's, very active and on a tight budget. We have maybe £600                (6,763 CNY) after airfare. However we dont stay in hotels. We mostly camp in our tent or couchsurf. (couchsurfing.com).  Also, is hitchhiking safe/practical/legal? If so is a thumb used like in the States?  Can we set up a tent anywhere? 
Thanks for listening and I look forward to your replies!
Have a great day,
Jay and Olga[/quote]
